The Time Machine Page #2
WALTER KEMP, a middle aged man with keen (c)
black piercing eyes, angrily chews on
his Havana.
Filby fidgets uncomfortably in his chair (d)
as
Hillyer glances impatiently at his (e)
watch, comparing time with a GRAND-
FATHER CLOCK behind him, then snaps
it shut and glares at:
Conspicuously unoccupied.
GRANDFATHER CLOCK - CLOSE SHOT 6
Reaching the hour of eight, it begins to STRIKE ITS
YELLOW CHIMES. Other timepieces JOIN IN the announce-
ment.
GROUPSHOT 7
The men look at each other until the CHIMES, BELLS
ETC. FADE away. Dr. Hillyer angrily slaps on the
arm of his leather chair.
DR. HILLYER
I say, this is outright rude of the man!
FILBEY:
He's undoubtedly been detained. That's
all.
Bridewell, filling his glass, is trying to say some-
thing but is interrupted by
KEMP (unscrews the cigar from
his tight lips)
This is such a confounded waste of
time! If he's not coming, I've any
number of more important things to do.
All heads turn as Mrs. Watchett enters, closing the
door quietly behind her. With an envelope in her
hand she stands there, hesitating.
DR. HILLYER
Speak up -- what is it, woman?
She is taken aback for a moment, then walks over
to Filby and hands him the open envelope. He
takes his time in extracting the note.
BRIDEWELL:
Well...are we or are we not invited
to dinner?
FILBY (reading)
Apparently we are.
(to Mrs. Watchett)
How long has he been gone?
MRS. WATCHETT (nervously)
I can't rightly say, sir. - Several
days...I hardly catch a glimpse of
him lately. He never leaves the
laboratory and comes out only to
nibble at his meals...but he did tell
me days ago about dinner tonight and
left these instructions.
(pointing to note)
