Hank, Peggy, Bobby, Boomhauer, and Kahn stare at the tank, it's turret still spinning. Hank angrily walks off toward the tank. He climbs up, ducking the tank cannon and knocks on the hatch.







HANK: This is Hank Hill, block captain. I know it's the War Games and I don't want to second guess your tactics, ..

but are you in distress?









HANK: Oh, good Lord. I think there's some kind of dead animal in there.

It's Bill.

He's soused to the gills.

WE HEAR the clank of metal on asphalt as a manhole cover is pushed open. Dale emerges in camouflage pants and jacket.

DALE: It's only Bill?

I scalded off my..

fingerprints for nothing.


HANK: C'mon Bill, wake up. You stole a tank.

BILL: (Incoherent mumbling)

BOOMHAUER: Tell you what, man, gonna wanna call up Uncle Sam, man.

Gonna wind up pickin' up this dang ol' tank.

DALE: We can't call the Army. If they find out Bill stole a tank, they'll torture him, kill him,

..and then send his body to Guam for further indignities. HANK: They won't do that, but

..they will throw him in the stockade for the rest of his life.


We've got to take the tank back ourselves-- it's Bill's only hope.

Plus we'll get to ride in a tank.


DALE: Oh, I get to drive.

BOOMHAUER O.S.: Hey, man.

You know, talkin' I'm gonna drive that tank, man, talkin' 'bout 1200 horsepower, man.

..too much muscle for your skinny ol'

..puny little ol' arms

..of yours, man.

HANK: Not so fast, Boomhauer.

I've been driving bobtail trucks at Strickland for two decades.

DALE: Oh, I am so impressed.

Have you also downloaded the instruction manual

for this tank from Vladimir Putin's web-site,

took a correspondence course in Russian,

DALE V.O.: ...and passed with flying colors?

Have you, Hank?

Putin?

HANK: Alright, alright

(CALLING OFF) Peggy, I'm going to return the tank.

HANK (CONT'D) If there's a propane emergency, the combination to my briefcase is zero-zero-zero.
