LAST NIGHT'S DREAM

FADE IN:

INT. MESS HALL - ARMY BASE - IRAQ

RANDOM SOLDIER and fully-veiled BRIDE dressed in white wedding dress are ONSTAGE before a CROWD OF SOLDIERS. They have just gotten married. CELEBRATIONS because this is an AMERICAN and IRAQI couple and thus SYMBOLIC.

CUT TO:

RANDOM SOLDIER and BRIDE on ground amidst CROWD, crouching in front of WIDE DOORS. RANDOM SOLDIER gives BRIDE his machine gun, encouraging her to SHOOT, as part of the wedding celebrations. BRIDE shoots at WALL beside DOORS, accidentally hitting GUARD standing beside the DOORS in the leg. He does not react.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLWAY - ARMY BASE - IRAQ

Wooden CONFESSIONALS line the HALLWAY. MACHINEGUN BULLETS burst through WALL and CONFESSIONALS - it's the BRIDE shooting. IRAQIS hidden within CONFESSIONALS collapse out, DEAD.

The AUDIENCE is HORRIFIED.

It was just so clearly symbolic (of what, gods know), with America marrying Iraq and then forcing her to shoot (with slight glee on her part) her people who had taken shelter in a place or worship. (As a general rule, I'm appalled when the sanctity of a place of worship as a Safe Place is broken.) See what I mean?!?
