The writer exercise is simple, write a conversation about a character who isnt in the room. Show what the other characters think about him/her Characters talk about Characters Rex: Who’s deal is it? (he looks around) Cody: The General’s Cable: Well this is nice, a chance to relax, unwind. Hey anyone want anything to drink? Rex: Yeah, I could use a cold one. Cody: Make that two Captain Cable. Gunther: Make it three Cable (door to the cooler opens from the next room) Cable: General Skywalker, you sure you won’t join us for a drink sir? Anakin: No thanks; I’ll never hear the end of it if General Kenobi hears I was out drinking and playing cards with my officers. (looks at Cody) Cody: Your secret’s safe with me sir. Gunther (takes his drink and sips it) Aahh... That’s nice and what even nicer, Rex’s mutt is off on that planet playing with his mud puppies.. Cable: Why do you hate him?! Gunther: Why don’t you? No offense Rex but that clone should have never been promoted to Captain. Cody: War Dog is a good officer, and it was my decision to promote him. Anakin: Cody never does anything without a reason Gunther. Cable: Cut War Dog a break, he’s a good solider! Gunther: Yeah good at getting himself into trouble... Rex: You have something you want to say Captain? Anakin: Now look we’ve all seen War Dog fight and…. Gunther: That’s just my point sir, a good officer isn’t just good on the battlefield! He’s good when on ship as well; I mean when isn’t he getting himself into trouble. Cable: You sure this isn’t about the fact that Rex and War Dog are CT’s and you, me and the Commander are CC’s? Gunther: NO!! Okay… maybe a little. But Rex is an outstanding battalion commander! War Dog’s an ARC who’s luck just hasn’t run out yet! A good officer follows the rules. Regulations were put in place for a reason, ever since that clone was a Shinie he’s always gotten himself into trouble! No offense Rex, but we all know its true. Cody: War Dog is a little rough around the edges, yeah he has odd habits but that Trooper is good in a fight. Anakin: I’m sensing a little jealously here Gunther, you sure you….. Gunther: I am not jealous of that flea bitten mutt! … SIR… Anakin (raises an eyebrow) Gunther: Okay, what about last month, three… no four of War Dog’s hounds got into that bar fight. Pounder, Repell, Handle and some Shine whose name escapes me right at the moment. Gunther: Repell was badly hurt and the clone wasn’t responding to treatment. Cable: Yeah I remember, the Kaminoians wanted to pull the plug on Repell. Gunther: And what did War Dog do? Anakin: He when to the Jedi temple to ask us to intervene. (the Jedi looks down at his drink) Rex: War Dog cares about his men, Gunther. Gunther: Well all do Rex, but being a solider means following orders. And in war being an officer means your going to lose men. Cody: You mean to tell me War Dog went to the High Counsel? Anakin: No War Dog went to where people go to ask the Jedi to intervene on their behalf. A Padawan spotted him and informed the counsel. Cable: Kind of hard not to spot him with that canine tattoo of his. (Chuckles) Gunther: Oh please Cable, be serious and put your hero worship in check for once would you please! Cable: HEY, lay off me Gunther! Gunther: Look fact is the medics said Repell wasn’t responding to treatment. War Dog has an issue letting go when it comes to his men. Hell he even assists his own company medic from what I’m told. Anakin: I don’t see that as a bad thing Gunther, War Dog leads by doing. A lot like Rex does, just in his own way. Gunther: But sir, Rex wouldn’t disobey orders to save the life of one Trooper. Cody: You sure about that? (He looks at Gunther then at Rex) Now I’ll admit this is the first time I’m hearing about this. But since War Dog is your Trooper, General Skywalker I’m sure the matter was settled. Anakin: Well Cody, I hate to tell you this but I wasn’t present at that meeting of the Jedi High Counsel. Master Kenobi was, he was the one who intervened and help save Repell’s life. Gunther: His actions were worthy of bringing him up on charges. Conduct unbecoming of an officer of the Republic, failure to follow a direct order. Hell the cloners from Kamino created us! Rex: Now I’ll admit War Dog still has a lot of ARC Trooper in him. And Fives was a big influence on War Dog when he was just starting out. Fives is known for his independent streak. Cable: Yeah I’ve heard him say we’re names not numbers! Gunther: (Glares at Cable) So it’s okay that his second in command is a sergeant major and not one of his platoon lieutenants? Or the fact he defaced a barracks wall with that Code of his. Rex: (slams his drink on the table) You forget one thing Gunther, War Dog’s men are the first company the General and I put into the battle and the last to be pulled out. He’s earned his place aboard this ship! Cody: And lets not forget we’re all enjoying a drink and a friendly game of cards. He’s down on that planet pushing his men.
