JED:
Can’t wait.
She smiles, kisses him. PINE watches.
ROPER:
Here are our other guests.
SANDY and CAROLINE LANGBOURNE are walking towards them.
CAROLINE we note is pale and scared, a shadow of her previous
defiance.
JED:
Caro? What’s she doing here?
ROPER:
Just flew in. Thought you might
want a bit of female company in
Cairo. Don’t worry, her naughty
days are over. From now on she’s
one of the good girls.
They walk towards the LANGBOURNES. CAROLINE smiles.
CAROLINE:
Look who’s back.
PINE stares at her. She is terrified. And he knows it.
Later:
mid-breakfast.ROPER:
So I suggest three days in Cairo
for shopping and gambling and then
we’re off down the Nile to the
glorious temples of Luxor. Anyone
got a better idea?
CAROLINE:
You always have the best ideas
Dicky.
ROPER:
I’m glad you’ve learnt that
Caroline my love.
He smiles at her with an acid gleam. PINE watches.
ROPER (CONT’D)
Now ladies I have something to
discuss with my young business
associate. Why don’t you go
shopping? We shan’t be long.
JED:
I’ll see you later.
She says it to ROPER but she means PINE. CAROLINE stands. JED
stands also. They move away.
ROPER:
More coffee?
PINE:
Thanks.
ROPER pours.
ROPER:
I owe you an apology. Appears Corky
was the traitor.
PINE:
How do you know?
ROPER:
I make it my business to know.
Why do you think he did it?
PINE:
I don’t know. He was drinking,
making mistakes. Maybe he thought
his shelf life was coming to an
end.
ROPER:
Saw younger competition on the
scene. Didn’t he?
PINE:
Maybe.
ROPER:
Moving into his terrain. Wolf on
wolf.
Beat.
ROPER (CONT’D)
Unless of course. It wasn’t him at
all.
PINE says nothing. ROPER sips his coffee. Appears to relax.
ROPER (CONT’D)
You know what this reminds me of.
Winston Churchill and TE Lawrence
dividing up The Middle East over a
glass of champagne and a cigar.
Drew a map on a napkin and shook
hands. Kings of Arabia.
He smiles at him.
PINE:
I’m guessing you’re Churchill.
ROPER:
Only thing is. Can’t stand cigars.
He laughs but PINE can sense the edge. Something not right.
Then ROPER leans in. Touches PINE’s hand. Speaks very
quietly.
ROPER (CONT’D)
So tell me one thing - as we enter
into our own special relationship.
Are you betraying me Andrew?
He looks at him. Almost needy. PINE stares at him.
PINE:
No Richard. I’m not.
ROPER:
Hand on heart?
And it MEANS something to ROPER here.
PINE:
Hand on heart? You’re the man I’ve
been looking for all my life.
