(shhhhhh scripts are okay right, I like scripts more anyway)

{atop a hill, colonel prescott along with three minutemen (sam, doug, and josh) are exposed and vulnerable and will certainly become victim to the approaching british army if they don't do something fast!!}
COLONEL PRESCOTT: Good heavens, my lads!! That's really the end of our ammunition? What's wrong with you?!
MINUTEMAN SAM: sir I don't think there's anything wrong with us and I don't think we have any time to waste arguing over it either
COLONEL PRESCOTT: Well said, well said. Alrrrrrrrright then I guess we're going to need to figure out a super-clever and STYLISH way to trump those RED COAT SCUM before they overtake us entirely!!
MINUTEMAN JOSH: okay but we better make it quick
{suddenly the british fire a nasty shot that lands a hit right on minuteman josh!!}
MINUTEMAN JOSH: ggghkgrhk, so much bleeding.
{minuteman josh falls to the ground, either unconscious or dead, I'm not even sure.}
MINUTEMAN DOUG: oh this is not looking good for us
MINUTEMAN SAM: dang, and there's so many of them too, another soldier down is the last thing we need, eh
COLONEL PRESCOTT: Come now, men! It's not so bad!! We have LIBERTY and INDEPENDENCE on the line and we cannot afford to let our countrymen down!!
MINUTEMAN DOUG: okay
{suddenly a multitude of shots go whizzing by. after a couple close calls, minuteman doug does fall.}
MINUTEMAN SAM: oh dear, this is an equally devastating loss
MINUTEMAN DOUG: oh no worries, I just sort of lost my footing, I am completely unscathed
MINUTEMAN SAM: doug you had me so worried, how could you ?!
{minuteman sam promptly kicks minuteman doug in the face, who in turn falls over unconscious}
MINUTEMAN SAM: oops, this was not the intended outcome
COLONEL PRESCOTT: I ASK YOU AGAIN, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU
MINUTEMAN SAM: I am sorry, this is all my fault
COLONEL PRESCOTT: NO TIME FOR THAT, GO GET SOME MORE MEN UP HERE OR WE'RE BOTH DONE FOR
MINUTEMAN SAM: sir we are entirely out of men
COLONEL PRESCOTT: Dang it, I don't want problems, soldier, I want solutions!!
{a cannonball whizzes past and misses the two remaining rebels entirely.}
MINUTEMAN SAM: hmm, they must not be able to aim very well from down there, they're kind of wasting their ammo, aren't they
COLONEL PRESCOTT: THAT'S IT, SOLDIER
MINUTEMAN SAM: what I don't even
COLONEL PRESCOTT: THE ONLY WAY WE CAN TROUNCE THESE KIDS IS IF WE STEER CLEAR OF ALL THEIR SHOTS UNTIL THEY COME CLOSER
MINUTEMAN SAM: well, yeah, I suppose that's one thing we can do to conserve ammo, but do you really think we can dodge them forever
COLONEL PRESCOTT: ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT
MINUTEMAN SAM: I am not liking this plan very much at all but
COLONEL PRESCOTT: DON'T FIRE 'TIL YOU SEE THE WHITES OF THEIR EYES!!
MINUTEMAN SAM: okay then
{regrettably, the catchy strategy was not enough and they were trounced by the british.}
{but they were remembered in history!!}
i like the dialogue you use. you can clearly tell that these people are from another time period.
