    Ron’s Beat Sheet Draft 2

    1. Cuccinelli is the newest junior officer fresh from Melville. Accepted at face value, assigned to 129 as XO. Neutral so far.

    2. Within a week, 129’s skipper is wounded, Cuccinelli takes command and “may have” sunk a destroyer in his first week, but reports indicate that he was wild, out of control. First example of lack of maturity, excessive risk tolerance.

    3. The Commander bawls out Cooch, hoping to set him straight. Commander assigns Cooch to the dogshit job, picking up an Aussie coast watcher. Commander can’t afford to tolerate “loose cannons”; Cuccinelli ignores the feedback, is “Stuck” in his anger and ego.

    4. Cooch muffs that opportunity as well, loses one sailor, damages his boat, almost kills the coastwatcher.

    5. Time for another chew session. Here the Commander is personally insulted that his commands have been ignored and denied. It’s personal now, Commander does not like Cuccinelli AT ALL.

    6. Circumstances conspire to leave us several officers short. Cooch must be assigned to a 4-ship patrol, no choice, even though Commander is skeptical. Backed into a corner by circumstances, Commander’s dilemma is reminiscent of the aircraft carrier commander at the beginning of Top Gun: “you guys lucked out, I have to send you to Top Gun”.

    7. That goddam Cuccinelli has apparently forged a real team out of that 4-ship, they sink one destroyer and damage the second. Commander sees the changes in Cuccinelli’s attitude, sees Cooch’s natural leadership not as an issue because it’s untamed, but as an asset because now it’s disciplined.

    8. Destroyers phased out, new targets are armed barges. Torpedoes useless, PTs revert to gunboats. Cuccinelli shows great maturity, patience, etc, wins Navy Cross. Commander further sees value in Cooch, and wants to promote him as useful to the war effort.

    OPENING ONE:

    EXT ON WATER -NIGHT

    TE1: Cooch (XO on the 129) rises to the occasion -but imperfectly – when his skipper is injured in a night time attack. Cooch takes the conn and engages the enemy but in a reckless manner.

    EXT ON WATER -NIGHT

    INCITING INCIDENT: Cooch overplays his hand, almost gets self and crew killed in dangerous maneuvers. Manages to escape whole.

    EXT ON WATER – NIGHT

    TE2: Destroyer sunk, but ambiguous as to whether it’s 129’s torpedoes.

    OPENING TWO:

    INT SQUADRON HQ – DAY

    TE1: Cooch is bawled out by Squadron Commander

    EXT ON WATER – NIGHT

    INCITING INCIDENT: Cooch is given the dogshit assignment, securing an Aussie coastwatcher from an island

    EXT ON WATER – NIGHT

    TE2: the pickup goes bad, the Japanese were lying in wait. It almost costs Cooch the coastwatcher, his boat is damaged, and he loses one sailor, because he took undue risks

    EXT ON WATER – DAY

    TE3: Cooch waits too long, now it’s daybreak, has to limp home in the morning sun. Encounters a Navy bomber with a Zero on its tail, helps take out the Zero, rescues the rear gunner Sanchez

    INT SQUADRON HQ – DAY

    TE3: Cooch bawled out again by Squadron Commander

    OPENING THREE:

    EXT – DOCKS – LATE AFTERNOON

    TE1: Circumstances force Commander’s hand, he assigns Cooch to a 4-ship “but only for 72 hours” until he can bring in someone else

    EXT ON WATER – NIGHT

    INCITING INCIDENT: In the event, Cooch’s boat sees two destroyers instead of one on radar, uses discreet radio signal to bring help from other PTs. One destroyer sunk, the other damaged.

    TE2: Cooch has his “awshit” moment – where he almost gets himself -and his crew – killed, AGAIN, by being rash, or undisciplined, but is saved by random “fog of war”

    INT – SQUADRON HQ – DAY

    TE2: Now Cooch is back in Commander’s good graces but success is secretly built on contradicting the Commander’s orders

    OPENING FOUR:

    EXT ON WATER – NIGHT

    TE1: Cooch maintains attack on barges (destroyers gone) and shows maturity and patience in execution

    INCITING INCIDENT: While on attack, another PT shows up, Cooch coordinates an attack “almost by mind meld” the way musicians can play with each other and “know” where the music is going. He shows restraint and succeeds in sinking 4 barges.

    TE2: Cooch earns a Navy Cross for his courage, and so do the other 2 skippers

    Carol Dougherty’s High Speed Beat Sheet

    What I learned from this assignment: I learned how much I like to overwrite and overthink things. I learned that I had identified at least one incorrect transformational event – which is good, as I saw it. I learned that it’s difficult at times to give up some of the scenes I love (because there a lot that aren’t in here – there isn’t room), but that it also is helpful in terms of honing in on what’s most important. And I do make a commitment to use the high speed writing method as I found it very helpful!

    WHAT DID I GET OUT OF THIS ASSIGNMENT: I think my disadvantage with this assignment is that I had major sections already written and I kept trying to thin it out and rewrite it with a different approach. What I should have done was close the old files and allow myself to come up with some new ideas. If this was a new project for me, I can definitely see the benefits of the high speed writing.

    What I learned in this assignment is how the story changes from exercise to exercise. Hopefully for the better. The beat sheet helps further outline the 4 Act Structure and the TE. It brings to light where you have some flaws and that is even when I was writing quickly without any editing. I will be using the high speed writing rules proposed in this lesson.
