you serve them, try and get them
facing away from the windows.
BARMAN:
(Dubious) Then I’ll be facing
towards the windows.
PINE:
(Cheery smile) Yup.
PINE stares at the city. Distant gunfire. PINE walks back in.
To see the ARAB WOMAN standing in the reception area. SOPHIE.
40 years old. Beautiful. Slim. Dark eyes.
SOPHIE:
Busy day for you.
PINE:
Everyone’s trying to leave. We’re
doing our best to help them.
SOPHIE:
Everyone except me.
PINE:
Flurazepam?

She pauses. Looks round.
SOPHIE:
Make me a coffee would you Mr Pine?
11 INT. CAIRO. NEFERTITI HOTEL. BREAKFAST ROOM. NIGHT. 11
PINE pours an immaculate coffee into a china cup.
He brings it to the table in the deserted breakfast room,
already made up for the morning.
SOPHIE:
Sit with me.
Beat. Something strange about this.
PINE:
I’m afraid I can’t. I’m trying to
find taxis for various guests.
SOPHIE:
How many coffees have you made for
me?
PINE:
I don’t know.
SOPHIE:
One every night for one year and
three months. I come down to the
lobby. You serve me. I thank you.
You look at me but we barely speak.
Sit down.
He sits.
SOPHIE (CONT’D)
What do you know of me?
PINE:
Your name is Ms Sophie Alekan,
you’re staying in the Hatshepsut
suite. And you have trouble
sleeping.
SOPHIE:
And do you know who is footing my
bill?
Beat.
PINE:
Yes.
She looks at the TV in the room. The footage is of Tahrir
Square. Empty. Curfew in place.

SOPHIE:
Freddie Hamid is everything the
protestors hate. Old Egyptian
family, in with the powers that be,
corrupt to the core. The Hamid
family owns half the city. And
Freddie Hamid owns me.
He stares at her.
PINE:
Are you concerned for your safety
Madame?
She sips the coffee.
SOPHIE:
Tell me what you do at weekends?
PINE:
Not much now.
SOPHIE:
Before this all started I saw you
sailing at the Cairo yacht club.
PINE:
That’s only when I’m invited. Which
isn’t often.
SOPHIE:
Who invites you?
PINE:
The second man at the British
Embassy.
SOPHIE:
Name?
PINE:
Ogilvey.
He stares at her. What does she want? Why is there an edge to
her voice?
SOPHIE:
And he’s a friend of yours, this Mr
...?
PINE:
Ogilvey. No.
SOPHIE:
But you trust him?
PINE:
I trust him not to capsize a boat.

Then she reaches into her bag. And pulls out an envelope.
SOPHIE:
I would like you to copy some
personal documents for me.
He stares at her.
PINE:
We have an executive services
bureau across the lobby. It’s
available 24 hours a day.
