Helicopter Door
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
Two soldiers ride in a helicopter during the Vietnam War. One tries to chat about getting back to base, while his companion wants him to close the open door. The noise turns each attempt to communicate into a fresh misunderstanding. Repeated instructions, exaggerated gestures and increasingly strange responses make the routine request harder to complete, until their patience has thoroughly worn out.
