Tom Vietnam

EXT. FORT PARK - DAY

The Oaky clearing on Gil's property. View to the tops of the surrounding Hill Country. Add The Boys and treehouse, the ATV's.

Hunter asks Gil about house and land, Gil tells him about his father and G.I. Bill re starting construction company in San Antonio. Hunter asks re World War Two, Gil confirms and elaborates. Hunter tells Gil about his grandfather and The USS Helena. Gil tells Hunter about Tom's dad's service. (We already know about Gil's son's death in Afghanistan.) Hunter asks Gil about his military experience. This leads to Vietnam and Gil telling Hunter about his and Tom's experience; they'll pick that up when Hunter is back with Tom's ashes. 

A whitetail deer - we've already seen the four mounts in Gil's great room - moves Hunter to ask if Tom hunted. Yes, but not after he got back. Gil asks Hunter if he's ever hunted. No, and re why Olivia named him Hunter. 

DISTANT THUNDER and LIGHTNING.

ATV Retreat.
