CLOSE SHOT - MAN

Who staggers back and falls, sprawling. As he hits the

ground, he yells:

MAN:

You can't leave me here, you

blighter.[2] I'm a British subject!

We meet Alexander P. Lovett.

24. MEDIUM SHOT

Conway looks his surprise and lifts him off the ground.

CLOSE SHOT - A CHINAMAN

Glaring off toward Conway, picks up a board and starts

toward Conway.

26. MED. CLOSE SHOT ENTRANCE TO SHIP

George emerges in time to see the Chinese lift the board

and about to clout Conway on the head. George moves quickly,

puts out his left hand, wards off the blow and with his

right he punches the Chinese, who reels out of the scene.

GEORGE:

Look out, Bob!

27. MEDIUM SHOT

A shadowy figure materializes in the cockpit, and clubs

Fenner from behind. He shoves Fenner aside and takes his

place.

28. MEDIUM SHOT

Conway pushes George up and starts to mount himself. He

looks off - and what he sees startles him.

CONWAY:

(yells off)

All right, Fenner! Go ahead!

29. LONG SHOT

Of what Conway sees. Several trucks loaded with bandits -

in makeshift uniforms - come tearing up the road - come to

a stop. Some fire toward plane - others are setting up

machine guns. Droves of refugees scramble to cover.

INT. PLANE

30. FULL SHOT

Already present are Barnard, an American; Gloria Stone,

the prostitute; and Lovett, whom we saw dressed as a

Chinese. Conway slams the door shut - looks off - then

cries:

CONWAY:

Get down on the floor, everybody.

Go ahead, Fenner!

They all fall on their faces.

GEORGE:

Fenner, let's go!

MED. CLOSE SHOT

Of the new pilot setting the controls and lifting the plane

into flight.
