sits across from a MAJOR who views a list on a monitor Johnny can't see.
MAJOR
I'm happy to tell you that you've been
accepted for Federal Service.
JOHNNY
Wow, that's great.
MAJOR
Looks like you're quite an athlete.
Boy, look at those reaction stats.
The Major clucks his tongue as he highlights the last category on his list:
MOBILE INFANTERY.
MAJOR
My job is to dertermine what you're
best suited for.
JOHNNY
I want to be a pilot, sir.
MAJOR
Sorry, son, no way. Your school records
say you don't have the math skills.
Johnny swallows this. He knew it was coming. The Major deletes
"Pilot" from the list, then several other items.
MAJOR
That rules out the scientific and engineering
applications, and I'm afraid we reserve
non-military options for candidates who are
frankly less able-bodied than you are, son...
He turns the monitor around and shows Johnny the list.
The only thing left is MOBILE INFANTERY.
MAJOR
It looks like the only thing you're good
for is cannon fodder.
I'm putting you down for the
Mobile Infantery.
40 INT AUDITORIUM - DAY - CARMEN
proudly takes the Federal Service oath with about twenty-five other people,
a gleaming silver FLEET PIN on her chest. She looks around for Johnny,
sees him grinning at her.
JOHNNY ET AL
...of my own free will, without promise, coercion,
or inducement, after having been duly advised
and warned of the meaning and consequence of
this oath, do now enroll in the Federal Service
of the Terran Federation for not less than two
years and as much longer as may be required
by the needs of the Service...
41 INT FEDERAL BUILDING - LOBBY - DAY - JOHNNY AND CARMEN
walk out together happily, hand in hand.
