                         "COMMANDO"

          BLACK SCREEN. One word explodes towards us with cold

brutality: COMMANDO. It FADES... leaves us in darkness.

And we HEAR a growing ROAR... a frightening RUMBLE.

          EXT. SUBURBAN CUL-DE-SAC - DAY 1



TIGHT ON the churning compactor of a garbage truck.

The CAMERA PULLS BACK and we SEE the truck, battered

and olive-grey. A bored garbage man with a kerchief

over his mouth hangs on the back of the truck as it

moves along the street.
          INT. BEDROOM - CLOSE ON THE BED - DAY 2



As LAWSON awakes with a start. He's late 30's, a little

worn. He shakes his WIFE.
                         LAWSON
