      Scout: Is that somebody calling us?

      Charles: My Commanding Officer.

      Scout: He seems upset about something.

      Charles: Hard targets.

      Scout: What does that mean?

      Charles: Means, with us, we should either get under cover or make it difficult for the person about to shoot us, to shoot us without himself being shot.

      Scout: Is anyone about to shoot us?

      Charles: My Commanding Officer might if we don't go down.
