EXT. FIELD

32. LONG SHOT

As the plane swings around - taxies crazily - and leaves

the ground, accompanied by gunfire of the bandits.

INT. PLANE

33. FULL SHOT

The occupants are still on the floor. Conway rises and

glances out of a window, warily.

CONWAY:

(mumbling)

Well, I guess we're out of range.

(to others)

Everybody all right?

There are murmurs of "Yes" - "I'm all right" - as they

raise themselves.

GEORGE:

Whew! That was close.

34. MEDIUM SHOT

Conway starts for the back seat and suddenly sees Lovett.

CONWAY:

Where did you come from?

LOVETT:

I'm Alexander P. Lovett, sir.

CONWAY:

Why aren't you registered through

our office?

GEORGE:

(chiming in)

It would serve you right if you

were left behind.

LOVETT:

(high-pitched voice)

How could I know that a war was

going to break out right over my

head!

(a grave injustice)

Right over my head. Oh, my word! I

tell you, those Chinese were

pouncing on me from every direction.

I had to get into these ridiculous

clothes in order to escape.

CONWAY:

Where were you hiding?

LOVETT:

Hiding? Oh, no. Hunting - I was in

the interior - hunting fossils.

This morning I looked up suddenly—

CONWAY:

I know - and a war broke out right

over your head.

GEORGE:

The next time you're in wild country

like this, keep in touch with the

British Consul.
