INT. FIELD HOSPITAL TENT - DAY
A black screen.The sound of a knife cutting through boot leather.
Fade in on the waists of two men (THE SURGEONS) hovering
around a crude operating table.In the extreme background, TWO STRETCHER BEARERS are just
leaving.SURGEON 1 (O.S.)
Is this the last one?One of the bearers stops and looks back. His face is numb.
And he nods hollowly.We cannot see the patient stretched out on the table. But we
do see that the first surgeon has succeeded in getting the
man's boot off.SURGEON 2 (O.S.)
