TOPIC: Hosts discuss Lateral Thinking

On the Camp Lehigh training grounds, the trainer’s voice roars over the recruits scrambling at the flagpole. “…this army’s in trouble! Get up there, Hodge!”

Hodge, cocky but clumsy, slips and crashes back to the dirt. “Come on! Get up there! Nobody’s got that flag in 17 years! Now fall back into line! Come on, fall in! Let’s go! Get back into formation!”

Steve Rogers, small but sharp-eyed, steps toward the pole.

The trainer snaps, “Rogers! I said fall in!”

Undeterred, Steve calmly pulls the pin from the flagpole’s base, letting it collapse with a thud. He retrieves the flag and hands it to the stunned trainer.

“Thank you, sir,” he says, climbing into the car with Agent Carter.

In another corner of the camp, recruits grunt through pushups under the blazing sun. Peggy Carter paces, her voice sharp. “Faster, ladies! Come on. My grandmother has more life in her, God rest her soul. Move it!”

Colonel Phillips, walking beside Dr. Abraham Erskine, casts a skeptical glance. “You’re not really thinking about picking Rogers, are you?”

Erskine’s eyes glint with conviction. “I wasn’t just thinking about it.”
