Cleon:
[Deleted introductory scene, day time. A girlfriend walks over to Cleon, who is sitting on a bench. As the camera follows her, we see Coney Island - and a huge wall which has 'Warriors' painted on it]
... What are you doing here?
Lincoln - Cleon's Girl:
I came to say goodbye.
[Cleon waves]
Lincoln - Cleon's Girl:
I don't like it, Cleon.
Cleon:
You don't like what?
Lincoln - Cleon's Girl:
Going up to this meeting.
Cleon:
You ain't going, so don't worry about it.
Lincoln - Cleon's Girl:
I'm worried about you going. I've got a feeling. I don't want you getting messed up with something heavy, not way up in the Bronx. You've never even been up there.
Cleon:
[puts on his "head-covering," for lack of a better term]
This conclave is gonna be a big item.
[His girlfriend looks away, and - we cut to the next scene. Cleon is now standing and addressing the other Warriors]
Cleon:
... I know a lot of you aren't too happy about going on patrol. Just remember this. Out from a street family of 120-plus affiliates, you eight were chosen for this expedition and that makes you special. Now here's the lineup...
[as Cleon reads his choices, the camera focuses on each of them]
Cleon:
... Swan, you're the second-in-command, the war-chief; you stay by me. Snow, you're the music man. Cowboy, you soldier the middle. Vermin, you're the bearer; carry the tokens and the bread. Rembrandt, got the stuff?
[Rembrandt produces a spray can]
Cleon:
Now, I want you to hit everything in the city. I want people to know that the Warriors were there.
Ajax:
That'll just slow us down.
Cleon:
Ajax, you just soldier and try to keep your mouth shut...
[moving on]
Cleon:
... Fox, you're the scout and memory-man; you run ahead and tell us all we need to know. Cochise and Ajax, you soldier the middle; you're the heavy muscle...
[to all eight]
Cleon:
... Now just remember this. There's a truce on, so don't go flexing any muscle unless I give the order.
[Ajax seems displeased]
Cleon:
Okay? Let's roll.
[as surf-music plays, the Warriors stride up the boardwalk and into the distance, on this sunny afternoon. Cleon and his girlfriend follow, walking behind everyone else]
