excerpts from the production script

Version: Draft: B.N., March 10, 1987
Written by: Steve Duncan and Travis Clark
Zev Braun Pictures, Inc.

Following are changes between the broadcast version of this episode, and a version of the production script:

1. Alternate Take: Anderson's reaction to Johnson's grief over Mickey.
2. Aborted Concept: Goldman dresses down Ruiz, and Anderson plays a joke on an officer.
3. Alternate Take: Anderson's reaction to Horn's decision to leave his weapon in the chopper.




Alternate Take. Anderson's reaction to Johnson's grief over Mickey:

Aborted Concept. Goldman dresses down Ruiz, and Anderson plays a joke on an officer.

This scene would have taken place immediately after Anderson's meeting with Major Braun. As Sergeant Anderson makes his way toward the volleyball nets to do some recruiting, he comes across Lieutenant Goldman and Private Ruiz:
