Right here, Conway. Go ahead.
8. CLOSE SHOT
As Conway continues into mike.
CONWAY
Colonel, I need more planes. I’ve still
about twenty people to get out. Where
are those planes you promised us?
COLONEL’S VOICE
We sent everything we could find, Conway.
CONWAY
They better get here soon or I can’t
be responsible—
9. WIDER ANGLE
As George rushes in.
GEORGE
Bob! I think I hear motors!
CONWAY
(listening – then into mike)
Colonel, wait a minute, they may be
here now!
(to George)
Say George, get down on that field and
guide those planes in when they get
here.
GEORGE
Yes.
He starts for the door.
CONWAY
And be sure that none of the natives
get in.
GEORGE
(exiting)
Yes.
CONWAY
Hello? Colonel?
COLONEL’S VOICE
Hello, Conway. Yes?
CONWAY
Thanks – and take care of that liver
of yours.
COLONEL’S VOICE
Oh, ho – my word!
INT. OFFICE ROOM
10. FULL SHOT
As Conway enters.
CONWAY
All right, get ready everybody. The
planes are here.
The people crowd around him pleading
for priority.
? 474 ?
CONWAY
One at a time. Children first. Where
are they? Come on now, and stand over
here.
A woman pushes some children forward.
CONWAY
Where’s the mother?
PRIEST
(standing nearby)
They’re orphans, Mr. Conway.
CONWAY
I see. All right.
(directing people aside – pulling out
an old lady)
Well, you come – right over here – and
you, and you—
(looking off scene)
—come on—
OLD MAN
What about us, Mr. Conway?
CONWAY
Gentlemen, please wait your turn.
11. CLOSE SHOT
A girl slouched in a corner. We meet
Gloria Stone, a surly, wan-looking prostitute.
GLORIA
You’d better take some of those squealing
men with you first. They might faint
on you. I’ll wait.
