Savannah by the hand and pulls her towards the house.
    JOHN
    Come have some lasagna. My Dad made extra for you.
    SAVANNAH
    I can’t stay long.
    John looks back at her. Smiles sadly.
    JOHN
    I know.
    MONTAGE OF IMAGES :
    56        INT. MR. TYREE’S HOUSE -- DAY
    Mr. Tyree, John, and Savannah sit down to eat, together.
    SAVANNAH’S VOICE
    Dear John...
    57        EXT. MR. TYREE’S HOUSE -- DAY
    John and Savannah make out like teenagers.
    SAVANNAH’S VOICE
    Two weeks together. That’s all it took.
    58        INT. MR. TYREE’S HOUSE -- DAY
    Mr. Tyree is watching John -- who’s watching Savannah -- who’s driving away.
    SAVANNAH’S VOICE
    Two weeks for me to fall for you.
    59        INT. SAVANNAH’S CAR -- DAY
    Tears fall down her face as she watches John disappear in the rearview mirror.
    SAVANNAH’S VOICE
    Now we have one year apart. But that’s all it’ll take.
    60        EXT. BUS STATION - DAY
    John’s in uniform (green beret and all). He shakes his father’s hand, then boards the bus.
    SAVANNAH’S VOICE
    And what’s one year apart, after two weeks like that together?
    61        INT. BUS -- DAY
    John watches Mr. Tyree make his way back to his car, head down, avoiding everybody possible.
    SAVANNAH’S VOICE
    You made me a promise. A promise I know you’ll keep.
    John pulls out Savannah’s letter, taking great care not to crease the pages (it’s obvious he’s read it plenty already).
    SAVANNAH’S VOICE
    So I only want one more promise from you, during this year we spend apart.
    62        INT. C-17 PLANE -- NIGHT
    John’s in a nest against the wall.
    SAVANNAH’S VOICE
    Tell me everything.
    It’s dark inside, and everybody except John is sleeping.
    SAVANNAH’S VOICE
    Write it all down, John. Scribble it in a notebook. Type it out.
    Email it to me. I don’t care. But I want to know everything.
    John, however, is unable to sleep. He carefully pulls out Savannah’s letter, unfolds it, reads it again.
    SAVANNAH’S VOICE
    That way, we’ll be with each other all the time -- even if we’re not with each other at all.
    63        OMIT
    64        EXT. AIR FORCE BASE -- TARMAC -- DAY
    John exits the plane, shields his eyes from the glare.
    SAVANNAH’S VOICE
    And so that way, before we know it...
    Then he walks down the staircase onto the GERMAN SOIL beneath a massive Army Base in Stuttgart, Germany.
    SAVANNAH’S VOICE
    ...I’ll see you soon then?
    65        INT. SPECIAL FORCES TEAM ROOM -- GERMANY -- DAY
    John walks in to find Staff Sargeant Tony Gallo (nicknamed Noodles) already back and unpacking.
    JOHN
    Noodles! How was Atlantic City?
    NOODLES
    Ugh. You don’t wanna know. How was South Carolina?
    John tosses his bag down, but before he can answer --
    VOICE FROM BEHIND
    Don’t even bother unpacking, guys.
    John turns to find CAPTAIN JASON STONE walking past the open door. Stone winks at them as he passes. Noodles SIGHS.
    NOODLES
    So where to this time, ya think?
    He looks to the wall, where John’s taped up a map of the world with PINS sticking out of every place he’s been. Europe and the Middle East have a lot, more so than the US even, which is pretty sparse. So’s the rest of the world. John shrugs.
    JOHN
    Just hope it’s somewhere new.
    66        EXT. AIR FORCE BASE TARMAC -- ASS CRACK OF DAWN
    John, Noodles, Stone, and the other NINE BERETS that make up their team load their gear onto a plane.
    JOHN’S VOICE
    Dear Savannah. I promise.
    Even at this early hour, the guys joke around, have an easy camaraderie. They’re obviously a very close unit.
    JOHN’S VOICE
    I promise I’ll see you soon then.
    67        INT. PLANE -- DAY
    John concentrates on writing this letter to Savannah.
    JOHN’S VOICE
    I promise I’ll write all the time.
    And I promise I’ll tell you everything. But be patient with me, because it may take a while for these letters to get back to you.
    68        INT. BLACKHAWK HELICOPTER --
