The MAORIS touch the exposed legs of the piano. STEWART speaks to the
other European man BAINES.
STEWART:
Tell them to carry in pairs.
black and the red, then the
suitcases.
STEWART holds BAINES back a moment.
STEWART:
What do you think?
STEWART nods towards ADA. BAINES thinks a moment then turns towards
ADA too.
BAINES:
She looks tired.
STEWART:
She's stunted, that's one
thing.
BAINES walks over to HONE a big man and the MAORJ leader, he stands
tall with a great sense of his own importance. (Mana)
BAINES:
Anei nga pouaka - ko era e
toro.
Me era e raa.
(Here are the boxes, those
three and those two.)
UNSUBTITLED:
HONE:
E Hoal
HONE takes an aggressive fighting posture towards BAINES, insulted
that BAINES should suggest he might carry anything. HONE does not
carrying, he is the boss. With great dignity HONE retreats, too
injured to help. Other MAORIS come up and BAINES assigns them boxes.
ADA gets worried, the piano is being left alone. She writes on her
pad, "THE PIANO?" She shows STEWART.
STEWART:
Oh no, it can't come now.
FLORA:
It must come.
STEWART looks at FLORA
FLORA:
She wants it to come.
STEWART:
Yes and so do I, but there are
too few of us here to carry it.
TOO - HEAVY
ADA writes "I NEED THE PIANO." Her MAORI mimic copies her.
STEWART:
Do you mean you don't want your
kitchenware or your clothes? Is
that what you mean?
ADA signs to FLORA.
FLORA:
We can't leave the piano
STEWART:
Let us not discuss this
further. I am very pleased....
STEWART slows down as he watches ADA again sign to FLORA, he has the
uncomfortable impression he is being interrupted.
FLORA:
Mother wants to know if they
could come back directly for
it?
STEWART is shocked, his mouth hangs slightly open, paused in mid
speech. TAHU mimics this mouth drop perfectly.
FLORA:
After they have taken the other
things?
