Cast Away Page #3
The Sorter shoves the table against the wall. Yuri says
something to the Translator.
TRANSLATOR:
He says they have been very busy. It is
hard to get good employees. He is sure
you understand.
Wrong answer:
Chuck glances sharply at Yuri. Alekseiappears with a cellular phone.
ALEKSEI:
Phone call. Malaysia.
Chuck takes the phone, opening his BAG as he does so.
CHUCK:
Kamal? Right. I'm getting them.
He pulls out a set of blueprints and tacks them to a bulletin
board as he talks.
CHUCK:
I'm looking at the blueprints of K.L.
right now. The belts are too small for
the sorters. Yeah, sometimes you never
see what's right in front of your face.
Look, it's --
Chuck keeps an eye on what is going on in the warehouse.
Then he notices something over by one of the trucks.
CHUCK:
(to a loader)
Hold it! Hazardous material needs its
own container!
(back on the phone)
-- three in the afternoon there, right?
That gives you five hours until the sweep
comes through. Do the sort by hand
tonight, then put in a new feeder belt,
say a twenty-four incher. Yes, overtime
is authorized.
He hangs up the phone. He turns to the crew.
CHUCK:
I'm going out on every route, I'm going
to work every job here, until I know
enough to help you. That's it.
The crew disperses back to work. Chuck and Aleksei walk
toward the office. They've done this before. Chuck lets a
corner of his command persona slip.
ALEKSEI:
It's bad.
CHUCK:
Worse than Warsaw.
ALEKSEI:
Nobody remembers that.
CHUCK:
The failures they remember. It's the
successes they forget.
EXT. ST. PETERSBURG - DAY - MOMENTS LATER
A FedEx truck pulls out of the FedEx office. Chuck is
inside. He notices the graffiti on the walls.
Chuck rides next to LEV, the driver, a serious sort. The
Translator squats on some boxes between them, trying to keep
his balance.
CHUCK:
You sorted your packages before you left.
None of the other drivers did.
The Translator and Lev exchange a few words.
