[while under fire in Baghdad]
Sgt. Steven Lovell : Sniper. He's in front of us.
Evan 'Scribe' Wright : How can you tell?
Sgt. Steven Lovell : You can only hear that clearly when you're directly in front of the rifle barrel.
[the sniper fires another shot]
Sgt. Steven Lovell : That zip means it's passing a few meters from our ears.
Lt. Nathaniel Fick : One at a time! Colbert, go!
Sgt. Brad 'Iceman' Colbert : Bounding!
[he runs across the alley and takes cover behind a wall as the sniper continues to fire]
Sgt. Brad 'Iceman' Colbert : Set!
Sgt. Antonio Espera : I got no muzzle flashes.
Lt. Nathaniel Fick : Rudy, go!
Sgt. Rodolfo 'Rudy' Reyes : Bounding!
[he makes it across the alley]
Sgt. Rodolfo 'Rudy' Reyes : Set!
Lt. Nathaniel Fick : Lovell, go!
Sgt. Steven Lovell : Bounding!
[he makes it across the alley]
Sgt. Steven Lovell : Set!

[he makes it across the alley; a bullet ricochets off the barrel Wright is hiding behind]
Evan 'Scribe' Wright : God!
Sgt. Antonio Espera : Set!
Lt. Nathaniel Fick : Reporter, you ready?
Evan 'Scribe' Wright : [uncertainly] Y-yes!
Lt. Nathaniel Fick : Go!
[Wright takes off running down the alley in a zigzag pattern; Fick shakes his head]
Sgt. Antonio Espera : [laughing] What the fuck?
[Wright finally makes it behind the wall]
Sgt. Brad 'Iceman' Colbert : Set, sir!
[Fick makes it across the alley]
Sgt. Brad 'Iceman' Colbert : All up, sir. Reporter, what the fuck was that?
Evan 'Scribe' Wright : "Serpentine, Shel, serpentine." You know, the movie, "The In-Laws." Peter Falk tells Alan Arkin, "Always run in a serpentine fashion." I was running evasively.
Sgt. Steven Lovell : The next time we come under fire, run in a straight line. You'll live longer.
Sgt. Brad 'Iceman' Colbert : And have a full, happy life of betraying us and others with your venal lies.
