Cast Away Page #4
TRANSLATOR:
He says he wants to be organized. Do
packages in order.
Chuck looks at Lev with respect. Right answer.
CHUCK:
So how come the other drivers haven't
left yet?
The Translator asks Lev, who looks at him as if he is crazy,
then snorts an answer. The Translator blushes.
TRANSLATOR:
He says -- he is a very rude fellow --
CHUCK:
Tell me exactly what he said.
TRANSLATOR:
He says why don't his farts smell sweet?
Chuck grins. Lev shrugs and says something else.
TRANSLATOR:
He says that's just the way it is.
CHUCK:
Lev -- it's Lev, right? Listen, this is
FedEx. We don't have to accept the way
it is.
EXT. HOTEL - ST. PETERSBURG
A weary Chuck enters the hotel. In the sky above him we see
the Northern Lights. He doesn't even look up.
INT. HOTEL ROOM - NIGHT - LATER
Chuck is watching CNN on the television, working his
PowerBook, and holding the phone.
CHUCK:
No, keep trying. A circuit's bound to
open up.
He hangs up.
CHUCK:
(to himself)
Those damn Northern Lights.
Just then the lights go off. For a moment everything is
darkness. Then a small light switches on. Chuck has a
headlamp on.
He gets up, heads into the bathroom. We stay in the bedroom.
After only a moment, the light reemerges. It heads over to
his bag. We go with it.
Chuck takes out a roll of toilet paper. The guy is prepared
for anything. He goes into the bathroom, closes the door.
The lights come back on just as the phone rings.
We hear scuffling sounds on the other side of the door.
Chuck charges out, holding up his pants.
Grabs the phone.
CHUCK:
Hello? Great. Try it.
He waits. We hear an ANSWERING MACHINE.
KELLY (V.O.)
This is Kelly, leave me a message and
I'll call you back soon as I can.
This is not what Chuck wanted to hear.
CHUCK:
Kelly, damn, look, this is Chuck. I'm
going to be a little late. Well, more
than a little. I had to go to Russia.
Couldn't be helped. Could you call and
cancel the trip? Look, we'll sail the
Keys in March. It's better then anyway.
I'll be back before Christmas. I
promise. I think. I mean, I will. I,
uh --
He's stumbling over whether to say I love you.
CHUCK:
I miss you.
