4. *Character Script* R: Hello this is Don Johnson! We are at Stalingrad live with the report on the Russian and German fighting. Today we will be talking with a Russian soldier and nurse who are both struggling to win control of Red Square. R: Behind me is a Russian recruiter getting the youth of Russia to win back the motherland Russian recruiter talking R: We have a young Russian soldier here, about 18 years. So, private how have your days been going out here on the front lines of Stalingrad? S: Well every days a hard day out here and uh well I cant really explain what I’m feeling right now Don, I guess German bullets take all the feelings out of our minds. R: That’s very intense private. I’m sure no one except your fellow comrades would understand what you are going through. S: Yeah, but I hardly fear death anymore. War takes that fear out of you, yet whether we fear it or not its always a possibility. R: So what’s going on?!?!? S: Well, like I said before um this war is very horrible. However, we have trapped the Germans and they are without food or ammunition, with no hope of rescue. R: Oh, well that must bring hope to the Russian troops.

5. *Dialogue with Soldier Cont…* R: So, how many casualties have there been so far? S: Well, we don’t really know how many Russians we have lost, but there are rumors going around that the Germans have lost close to 300,000 men now. Even with all our wounded men, we have one of the best nurses around to help us out. R: Oh that reminds me; can you show me where she is? S: Sure. She’s stationed in the medical depot. R: Thanks private, and good luck. Walking, goes up to nurse.

6. *Dialogue between Nurse and Reporter* R. Well Miss, it seems you have quite a lot on your plate here. N. Obviously! I'm trying to save lives here, get out of my way. R. Could I maybe pull you aside for a moment for quick interview? N. Are you serious we have helpless men dying out there at the hands of the corrupted fascist army! R. Well the people deserve to know, don’t you want your voice to be heard across the motherland!? N. Why yes of course but I am just a woman. R. That is true but you seem to have the capability to explain your position in this war better than any other man. N. Why yes I suppose so, its my lunch break anyway. R. Alright well what does this part in the Russian army do to you mentally and physically? N. Well it is obviously mentally grueling when having to lie to nearly dead soldiers telling them they’ll make it. N. Physically this job can be dreadful, the last wink of sleep I got occurred nearly two days ago. From my point of view you don’t even have to be on the front line to see the terror of war. I see examples of what war causes everyday a comrade is dragged in here. R. I see, I’m sure nor I and the people at home listening can contemplate the sacrifices you make everyday. I am truly happy you were able to give me this time with you. Good luck!

7. *Closing* R. Oh jeez we better get out of here there is shrapnel everywhere! We have to make it back across the Volga River before we end up right back with that nurse! R. This is Don Johnson reporting from Stalingrad Live. We know you have many other wars to listen to tonight and we're glad you picked Stalingrad! R. Good Fight! and Good night!
