Bud raises his arms, losing his balance on the ladder; the
balloons fall down over several Intruders as Albany
rushes to Bud on the ground.
LT. ALBANY: On the floor! I said on the floor!!
BUD: (looking up, shouts) I'm on the floor! I'm on the
goddamn floor!!
TERRY: DADDY!
BUD: Who the hell are you guys -- ?
LT. ALBANY: SHUT UP!
He kicks the ladder away, places his foot on Bud's chest,
the barrel of his M4 directly into Bud's angry face.
BUD: You better have an explanation for this!
Lt. Albany slams his heavy-booted sneaker with an
orange crescent harder down on Bud's chest. OTHERS
return from searching the rooms.
BUD'S POINT OF VIEW: Odd, most of them wear the
same high-tech sneakers.
SECOND MASKED AIRMAN: There's no basement, sir.
We think it's the wrong house.
BUD: (furious) Wrong house! Fuckin' A. you morons!
You're damn right it's the wrong house!
Lt. Albany stares down at Bud's angry face, steps back to
the stairs when Terry suddenly reaches for the tassel on
his cap and yanks it, exposing his face. He spins the
barrel of his gun to the child.
BUD: TERRY! STOP IT!
