Scene from script idea

EXT - BAGHDAD - DAYTIME

We are outside of an Iraqi village/market, camera is pulled back in a wide shot above the city. It's high noon and the sun is blinding, a slow zoom begins as the camera swoops down to the ground and enters the perimeter of the village through an alley.

The street is barren, mostly quiet save for a few sounds from far away (market chatter). As the camera creeps down street you can see a 3 story building at the end (abandoned looking).

After a while (while camera is still creeping down the street) a camel spider emerges from the bottom of the screen, it is now being followed by the camera in a close-up. On the right side of the road you see a group of soldiers (out of focus) sitting on crates right outside of one of the many beat up shacks. The spider starts to approach the group, stopping every now and then for cautions sake, camera follows the spider until it is a few feet from a crate which one of the soldiers is sitting on, then stops. By the sound of it the 3 soldiers are playing cards, constant cursing and bickering etc. A card flutters off the table into view of the camera and as a soldiers hand appears to pick it up he screams and falls off the crate.

Geoff(soldier that fell):
FUCK!, fuck dude fuck kill that thing cmon(trails off muttering curses)

Rich(2nd soldier)[smiling but reaching for gun]:
oh my god

G [brushing himself off]:
no, stop dude you know i dont fuck around with fuckin insects like that

Matt (3rd soldier) [crying with laughter]:
it's not an insect dick...he's Rich's spotter

Geoff and Rich both smile and exchange some hesitant looks, Matt's laugh is incredibly contagious and he had a habit of breaking tension like this.

G [calming down a little bit]:
you better gimme that that 20 back

R [giggling]:
fuck off Geoff, not if my boys got anything to say about it [pointing to spider, cracks up again]

Geoff is smiling, but looking for a way out of the situation as if backed into a corner by the spider.

G:
Bay (nickname for Matt) cmon dude...

M [sarcastically points to himself, raises eyebrows]:
He wasn't looking at my cards

Geoff picks the crate up, musters up all is courage and starts to look for an opening to attack the spider. Starts to approach the spider but decides to just throw the crate at it, it misses and the spider scurries towards the door of the shack as the luietenant is walking out.

Luietenant [startled, steps on spider]:
Shit.
