Dreadlock
(III)
Stephen Herczeg
EXT: ROOFTOP OF THE IIC BUILDING - DAY
A Hover Bus is parked on the roof. A team of twelve men is
assembled. Each wears a uniform of black combat gear, complete with armour and rifles.
Dreadlock moves in front of them, dressed as normal.
Zucco comes up to Dreadlock. She is dressed in black fatigues and
armour, but carries no gun.
Dreadlock looks her over, with an approving eye.
DREADLOCK
Geez, I wish all the soldiers looked like that when I was in the
war.
Zuccos face screws up and she walks up to Dreadlock, looking
him straight in the eye.
ZUCCO
Shut the fuck up or Ill have you up for harassment quicker
than you can toss off.
Dreadlock backs off, holding his hands up in front of him.
Dreadlock
Hey, hey, sorry, it was just a little joke, no offence meant.
Zucco
None taken.
Dreadlock lets out a breath.
DREADLOCK
Geez.
Zucco barks orders at the men, and they enter the bus. She follows.
One of the soldiers moves up to Dreadlock and slaps him on the
shoulder. This is DAN BURROWS. He is a strong looking redneck type. A typical blood and
guts soldier.
BURROWS
Dreadlock how you going man?
Dreadlock turns, recognises Burrows and smiles. He holds out his
right hand and the two men shake.
DREADLOCK
Good Dan, its been what, six years. Hows Brenda and the kids.
BURROWS
Fine, I think. It has been a long time hasnt it. We broke up
about three years ago.
DREADLOCK
Ah, shit man Im sorry.
BURROWS
Hey you werent to know any better. It happens you know.
Anyway, howd you get lumbered with this detail.
DREADLOCK
Im here to keep watch on Zucco.
BURROWS
Dont worry, Ive been doing the same thing. Is it just me
or has she got the tightest ass youve ever seen.
He makes a cupping motion with his hands.
Zucco sticks his head out of the bus.
ZUCCO
Are you two still coming with us, or would you like to walk?
Dreadlock and Burrows look at each other.
Dreadlock
Yea, except the whole thing is ass.
They both turn and board the bus.
The bus emits a cloud of vapour and climbs.
EXT: SKY above sydney
The hoverbus glides up and over the city. The city is huge.
Skyscrapers tower all around. The IIC building is situated on the North Shore of Sydney
Harbour.
The bus starts to move south.
The water of Sydney Harbour has long since been lost from view. It
is now criss-crossed by dozens of roads for land based cars. The Sydney Harbour Bridge is
nestled between two concrete super-highways. The top of the Opera House just peaks above a
couple of roads.
The bus moves through an alley way between a couple of buildings.
The Centre Point tower can be seen dwarfed by several skyscrapers.
The bus starts to climb more rapidly, it heads towards an air-borne
super-highway. As it climbs closer to the blurred lanes of rushing hover-traffic, it
accelerates until it disappears into the same blur as the other traffic.
INT: HOVER BUS
Two drivers are seated in the cockpit, an array of computer screens,
and switches are before them.
COMPUTERs voice
Course enabled. Destination plotted. Flight time twenty-three
minutes. Automatics engaged.
The pilots sit back. One flicks out a cigarette and lights it, the
other opens a book.
In the back of the bus, the dozen men are seated along the bus. They
look like war veterans, mainly because they are. They are the IICs crack SAS
equivalent.
Dreadlock is seated near the back, Zucco is in front of him looking
down at an electronic clipboard. There is writing on the clipboard, indicating sides of
the Warehouse, i.e. Back Door, Left Side, Right Side and Front Door.
She turns around, and starts talking to Dreadlock.
ZUCCO
Now remember, youre just an observer. Let these men do all the
investigating and any shooting required, and do not get in their way.
DREADLOCK
Yea, Ill observe alright.
Zucco turns back around. Dreadlock mouths the word
"Asshole".
EXT: SKY ABOVE WOLLONGONG
The sky is clear and skyscrapers dot the landscape.
The Hover bus leaves the blur of traffic and descends into
Wollongong. It glides through the city and descends, parking across the road from a large
warehouse.
EXT: ROAD OUTSIDE OF WAREHOUSE
A police car is parked in front of the warehouse.
The doors of the bus open and the men quickly exit, forming into two
orderly lines. Zucco exits, followed by Dreadlock.
ZUCCO
Open comms channels to 1. I want you to move into the positions I
assign and indicate your readiness by pressing your comms buttons.
All men fiddle with their wrist communicators. Dreadlock just looks
on, his hands behind his back.
Zucco points to two of the men.
ZUCCO
WARNER, YEEND, the back.
The two men move off down the street.
She points to the next two.
ZUCCO
PURCELL, LEE, far side.
The two men move off to the left.
She points to the next two, BURROWS and OSULLIVAN. She points
to the right.
ZUCCO
You two, side entrance this side.
They move off.
ZUCCO
The rest of you form a guard at the front.
The six remaining men move towards the front door, and take up
position. They are LEWIS, HOPMAN, HANFIELD, DWYER, RICHARDSON and STORTZ.
EXT: BACK DOOR OF WAREHOUSE
Warner and Yeend move to the back door.
Warner pushes a button on his communicator.
A red light appears on Zuccos clipboard, next to "Back
Door".
EXT: LEFT SIDE DOOR OF WAREHOUSE
Purcell and Lee arrive at the left-hand side door.
A red light appears next to "Left Side".
The "Right Side" light blinks on as well.
Zucco looks up and across the street. The remaining men have taken
up position.
The lead man turns and signals with his thumbs up.
Zucco looks back down at the clipboard. She presses the board with
her finger.
INT: WAREHOUSE FACING BACK DOOR
The door is kicked in and Warner and Yeend enter taking up a
defensive stance either side of the door.
INT: WAREHOUSE FACING LEFT SIDE DOOR
Purcell and Lee kick the door in and enter.
EXT: RIGHT SIDE DOOR
OSullivan moves to kick the door in. Burrows stops him. He
tries the door knob. It turns. He opens the door and both men move inside.
As the dust settles each group looks around to see that the rooms
are full of crates and barrels, nothing else.
ZUCCO
(into wrist communicator)
Report.
WARNERs voice
Nobody here maam. Just crates and barrels. No computers, no
people, nothing.
PURCELLs voice
Same here maam.
BURROWS voice
And here.
LEWIS voice
Lewis here maam, similar situation in front.
ZUCCO
Im coming in.
She turns to Dreadlock.
ZUCCO
You coming.
Dreadlock shrugs, and starts to walk. Zucco walks towards the front
and enters the building.
INT: FRONT ROOM OF WAREHOUSE
The room is rectangular, with doors connecting it to the back and
sides. A staircase leads up to a loft area. Zucco points to it.
ZUCCO
Lewis, up there.
Lewis moves to the staircase, and starts to climb.
Zucco points to Richardson, Storz and Hopman.
ZUCCO
The three of you start searching those crates. You two go out the
back and help Warner and Yeend.
Hanfield and Dwyer move to the connecting door.
INT: WAREHOUSE CORRIDOR
A narrow corridor with a door at each end and one off to each side.
They open the door and walk down to the far connecting door and open
it.
INT: BACK ROOM OF WAREHOUSE
Warner is peering over a barrel, trying to prize the top off.
He looks up as the two men enter.
Suddenly, all hell breaks loose.
One of the creatures from the video erupts from the barrel.
It grabs Warner by the throat breaking his neck.
It throws the corpse at the other two men, knocking them over.
Yeend un-shoulders his rifle and starts to take aim.
The creature points its arm at Yeend.
Its arm suddenly extends at high velocity, punching Yeend in the
chest, and bursting out the other side.
The creature retracts its arm, and Yeend stands for a second, blood
running from his mouth, his eyes going back in his head.
There is a ragged hole through his chest.
He falls forwards, his right hand clenching on the trigger of his
gun.
A spray of bullets smashes towards Hanfield. He goes down with six
bullets in him.
INT: FRONT ROOM
Several of the barrels suddenly explode.
Their occupants exit and attack the men nearest them.
Strorz has his head taken off. His torso drops to the ground.
One of the creatures jumps onto Richardson biting at his neck.
He collapses.
Hopman is grabbed from behind. He flails around trying to break the
hold.
Suddenly, he goes limp as the creatures hand bursts through
his chest.
The creature drops his corpse.
Lewis comes down the staircase, un-slinging his gun in one movement
and fires.
The two creatures who attacked Storz and Richardson go down.
The third jumps straight up and grabs hold of the rafters. It
scrambles along the beam.
Lewis sprays upwards, but misses.
Suddenly, the door near Lewis explodes outwards as Dwyers body
comes bursting through.
Lewis is knocked over.
The creature above drops on him, its claws smashing through his
head.
It looks around, hisses and bounds off towards one of the other
doors. It smashes through. Crashes and screams are heard from the room.
One of the creatures climbs up on the rafters from a side room. It
has a shoulder mounted rocket powered grenade launcher.
It fires.
Dreadlock looks up and sees it.
Dreadlock
SHIT!!
He dives to his left, catching Zucco as he moves.
They both fall behind a couple of crates as the grenade explodes
near where they were standing.
Dreadlock comes up with his gun in hand, and fires at the creature.
Its chest explodes.
It drops the gun and falls backwards from its perch.
Two creatures re-enter from the right room. They are both carrying
the SAS squads guns.
They fire at Dreadlock and Zucco. The crate near them spits up
splinters as the bullets hit.
Dreadlock dives sideways over a stack of crates and lands on
another.
It collapses under him.
He grimaces and grasps his shoulder in pain.
Dreadlock
Shit!
He crawls towards the stack of crates and looks around.
The crate he landed on has broken open; revealing hi-tech grenades.
Dreadlock grabs one and activates it.
He tosses it over the stack of crates.
As it flies through the air, its course diverts towards the heat
source of the creatures.
Their expressions change to complete surprise as they both explode
in spray of goo.
Dreadlock peers over the crates.
He slowly stands, gun forward.
Zucco stands next to him.
ZUCCO
Where the fuck are Purcell and Lee?
Dreadlock points upwards.
DREADLOCK
There!
Another creature is standing in the rafters holding Purcells
and Lees heads. It eyes them triumphantly.
ZUCCO
Fuck!
Zucco takes out a pistol and shoots the creature in the head.
It falls backwards into the room below.
Dreadlock looks at her with respect.
DREADLOCK
So, Im just observing and youre a non-combat General
huh?
ZUCCO
Fuck that.
Suddenly, a body bursts through the right hand wall and lands near
them.
Dreadlock runs over to it and turns the body over.
It is Burrows. He is clearly dead.
DREADLOCK
Burrows.
He looks at the body a little longer and spits out.
Dreadlock
Fuck!
He looks up as one of the creatures comes through the hole in the
wall.
He quickly brings his gun up and fires.
The creature is blown back through the hole.
DREADLOCK
That ones for you Dan.
Dreadlock looks around.
Zucco is still standing behind the crate.
Dreadlock re-holsters his gun and stands up.
Zucco is talking into his communicator.
ZUCCO
All stations report.
Nothing.
Dreadlock walks across to one of the smashed crates and looks down.
It is full of guns.
Zucco
All stations report.
Still nothing.
Dreadlock bends down and picks up a gun. It is one of the four
barrelled plasma type.
He holds it in front of his face.
DREADLOCK
(to himself)
The shits coming down. FAST!
INT: THELMAN DRAKES OFFICE
The gun that Dreadlock was holding is slammed down on Thelmans
desk.
Drake looks down at the gun, surprised.
THELMAN
What the fuck is that?
DREADLOCK
We recovered this little beauty from the Warehouse. Its the
same type thats been turning up all over Sydney. Young Punks, and wannabes are
carrying this sort of fire power. We havent had a clue how its been getting in or
where its coming from. We have now.
THELMAN
What?
DREADLOCK
The computer that we found linked into the Science NET, is made in
only one place. Perth.
THELMAN
Thats a pretty big area. You cant be more specific.
DREADLOCK
Van Thu has located the warehouse where the computers are made. He
thinks he may be able to track down who purchased it by tapping in.
THELMAN
You really think that they can break into a computer companys
records. The same company that created a computer which can hook into our network.
DREADLOCK
No, better. The gateway was still open from when it last hacked into
our network. They were actually just relaying instructions from a site in East Perth.
THELMAN
So, you already know where its coming from.
DREADLOCK
Yes.
THELMAN
Well, what are you still here for, get to Perth. NOW.
He turns to his screen, Lauras face comes on screen.
THELMAN
Laura, arrange transport to Perth, IDs, a standard cover
story, and a contact for Dared Locke, please. To leave immediately.
She nods and disappears.
Dreadlock stops him with his hand.
DReadlock
Make it first thing in the morning, theres someone I need to
see urgently.
Thelman looks back at the screen. Laura comes back on, looking
annoyed.
ThelmaN
Laura make it first thing in the morning.
Thelman turns to Dreadlock.
thelman
I hope shes worth it.
dreadlock
Oh, I think shell make it worth my while.
thelman
Your contact in Perth will be Dandra DeMarco.
Dreadlock looks shocked.
dreadlock
Dandra?
thelman
Weve set her up over there. Shes our main contact. Are
you okay with that? I know you two had something a while back.
Dreadlock
No. No, it should be okay. I havent talked to her in over two
years. I wasnt even sure where she was. I should be okay with it.
THELMAN
As long as youre sure. Wheres Zucco.
Dreadlock smiles and says.
DREADLOCK
Shes trying to work out how shes going to cover the cost
of losing an entire Special Weapons squad.
INT: AN EXECUTIVE OFFICE
The office is tastefully decorated, with wood-panelling and wooden
display cases filled with nick-nacks and books.
At a desk sits a bald-headed man, facing towards the door, his face
hidden from view.
The door opens and a man in his mid-twenties walks in. He is neat
and tidily dressed, a young executive. He is STEVE TESCH.
He walks up to the desk and stands quietly waiting to be addressed.
He looks a little nervous.
The BALD HEADED MAN looks up.
BALD HEADED MAN
Yes.
TESCH
Sir, our operative in Sydney just made contact. The warehouse has
been compromised, the security force has been eliminated and the computer network has been
tapped into.
BALD HEADED MAN
Excellent. Everything is going to plan.
Tesch looks surprised and then relieved.
TESCH
Yes, sir.
EXT: DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE BUILDING
Dreadlock walks briskly to the front door.
INT: DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE BUILDING FOYER
Steve Betts is at his station reading a paper. He looks up and sees
Dreadlock, just as he reaches the Security desk.
He mouths the word "SHIT", and tries to stand and reach
for his gun.
Dreadlock pull his gun and sticks it in his face.
Dreadlock
Sit down. This is important and I dont need fuckwits like you
stuffing me around.
Dreadlock replaces his gun and walks straight on.
Betts immediately taps the computer screen and starts to yabber into
it.
INT: SUE BENSONS OFFICE
Sue is sitting at her desk. Her computer screen beeps and Steve
Betts image appears on it.
BETTS
Ms Benson, Dreadlock just entered the building and got past me. He
looks like hes headed for you.
BENSON
Oh, is he.
The door opens and Dreadlock barges in.
BENSON
I think hes found me. You know what to do.
The screen goes blank. Benson looks up at Dreadlock.
BENSON
So, Dared to what do I owe this pleasure.
Dreadlock stops at her desk, and looks down and points at her.
DREAdlock
You are in deep shit.
As he starts to speak, two Security Guards burst in to the office
with their guns raised and pointed at Dreadlock.
Dreadlock rolls across the desk, coming up with his gun at
Bensons head.
dreadlock
(to Benson)
Call them off. I have a directive from the Head of IIC which means
that I can shoot first and ask questions later, until I get cooperation.
BENSON
What makes you think that my men cant put you down where you
stand.
dreadlock
Ask Betts on your front desk. If hes any measure then these
goons are mince-meat.
Benson looks at him for a couple of seconds. Her face changes to one
of resignation.
BENSON
Yes, I suppose your right, with your record you would probably shoot
them and me before you realised that you actually need me.
A smile spreads across Dreadlocks face.
Dreadlock
The only time I ever wanted to shoot you was when we were going out.
Benson smiles wryly.
BENSON
True.
She looks at the two Guards.
BENSON
Its okay men. Mr. Locke is my guest. You can go back to your
stations. Thank You, and shut the door on your way out.
They leave begrudgingly.
Dreadlock takes his gun away from her head and re-holsters it.
Benson looks over her shoulder at Dreadlock.
BENSON
So, what can I do for you, or is this just a subtle way to ask me
out again.
He chuckles a little and says.
dreadlock
In a fit.
He walks around the desk and takes a seat.
Dreadlock
Im here about the fact that we lost twelve men to the same
creatures that broke into your basement.
Benson expression remains calm.
dreadlock
You dont look surprised that I know.
BEnson
No, we know that Lambert gave you the Security video for that night.
dreadlock
Dont suppose you know where he is? I tried to contact him
again, but he seems to be missing. Your men didnt have anything to do with it I
presume.
benson
No, were just as lost as you are. I thought that you had him
in hiding.
Dreadlock looks at her suspiciously for a couple of seconds.
dreadlock
So, what is so important on Sub-Basement level 3 that someone would
want to blow up half your building, just as a diversion.
Benson looks at him, thinking about it.
Benson
Its none of your concern. We have our own Security here and we
dont come under the auspices of IIC.
dreadlock
Ive seen your Security at work and to tell the truth Im
not overly impressed. We lost a squad of men, you are involved and I want to know what the
fuck is going on here.
Benson
I dont have to show you anything.
dreadlock
Do you want me to go above your head. Im sure Eastcorp Central
would be interested in whats going on here.
Benson leans forward, a sneer coming to her face.
benson
They are interested in whats going on here and have given me
autonomy. You have no business being here and I want you out now.
Dreadlock pushes a button on his wrist communicator.
Benson turns to her screen and brings up Betts.
Benson
Betts, I want Security back up here. Mr. Locke is leaving.
Betts suddenly looks off screen. His face drops in surprise and his
hands shoot up in submission. He is terrified as he turns back to the screen.
Betts
Maam, I think we have a problem here.
A squad of six Special Weapons men has entered the foyer of the
Department of Science Building and surrounded Betts. Their weapons are drawn and are
pointed at his head.
Benson
What the hell is going on Betts?
Dreadlock leans across, a sly grin on his face.
Dreadlock
I think youll find that those are friends of mine. Now, I can
have them tear this place apart, or you can show me what you are hiding.
Bensons face changes to one of complete fury.
Benson
Shit!!
INT: SUB-BASEMENT LEVEL III
Benson leads Dreadlock along the corridor. Benson is still pissed.
Dreadlock is extremely calm and interested.
Dreadlock inspects the walls.
Dreadlock
You fixed this up pretty quickly.
He looks up and waves at the video camera.
INT: LAMBERTS SECURITY AREA
An Operator in Lamberts chair is watching the video, its
one of the men from Bensons office. He flips a bird at the screen.
SECURITY OPERATOR
Up Yours you mechanical freak.
INT: SUB-BASEMENT LEVEL III
Dreadlock walks over to the wall and inspects the hatch where the
machine guns come out.
Dreadlock
Im guessing its something very important.
Bensons mood starts to change from anger to a more resigned
but conceited attitude. She knows what her team is accomplishing and is proud of the fact.
benson
Well it could change the way we accept the progression of the
species.
dreadlock
English please.
benson
Birth, Death, Procreation etc.
Dreadlock
I enjoy the procreation bit just as it is, at least practising it
anyway.
benson
Ah, so thats what you call it. When you work out how to do it
correctly give me a call.
dreadlock
Yea, funny. I never heard you complain.
They come to another door. Benson puts here palm against a pad. A
light changes from red to green and the door opens. They walk through.
INT: DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE CLONING LABORATORY
A large clean scientific laboratory. Large glass cylinders can be
seen all around the place. People are moving around. They are your typical lab types, ie.
White coats, clipboards.
Benson and Dreadlock come through a second door.
Dreadlocks jaw drops as he scans the room slowly.
In the cylinders are human foetuses in different stages of
development. The scientists are walking around with clipboards, checking monitors etc.
Benson walks in, turns and holds her arms out.
benson
Welcome to the future.
Dreadlock stands looking shocked.
dreadlock
What the hell are you people doing here?
Benson
Come on Dared, dont be so backward. This is the Department of
Science Cloning Division. Weve been developing the technology to successfully clone
human beings for the last ten years.
dreadlock
Why? This is against all moral beliefs.
benson
Oh, come on. If it werent for this technology, you would have
been confined to a wheel-chair long ago. Where do you think the idea of muscle replacement
tissue came from? It was just a forerunner of this type of technology.
Dreadlock walks up to one of the tubes, he turns and indicates the
tube.
dreadlock
But, this is insanity. These are people.
benson
Not really. They are actually just inanimate bodies. We still
havent worked out how to get the brain working. It seems that during the cloning
process we lose all form of instinct. These clones have to be run on machine, they lack
all brain activity. The brain is alive, but it doesnt have the pre-recorded
instincts that come from natural gestation.
Dreadlock turns away, completely revolted. He takes a moment and
turns back.
A Scientist comes through a door to Dreadlocks right. One of
the pale morphing clones can be seen through the doorway.
Dreadlocks face changes to one of rage.
He walks to the doorway, looks through and turns back.
Dreadlock
What you make these as well?
Benson walks warily towards him.
Benson
No. Pity. We captured this one when it entered one of the other
Sub-Basement tunnels. It had two friends but they were killed during the capture.
Dreadlock turns back and looks at the clone.
It eyes him intently.
Suddenly, the clone lunges at Dreadlock, slapping the glass panel
with enough force to make it rock in its frame.
Dreadlock jumps back in surprise.
Immediately the clone is enveloped in a cloud of thick white gas. It
loses consciousness and slides down the glass panel to the floor.
dreadlock
Christ.
He walks back into the main laboratory area.
Dreadlock
So who would want this technology?
Benson walks up to one of the tubes and touches it tenderly. She
turns and looks at him.
benson
Who wouldnt? Do you know what would happen if we could animate
these clones? We would have an unlimited source of soldiers, workers, anything. Any other
power in the world would want this sort of thing. But, theres only one that I know
of that has the resources to get it.
dreadlock
Youre right, and Im going there in the morning.
INT: DREADLOCKS APARTMENT
Dreadlock is packing his suitcase.
He fingers a switch, and a panel slides out.
He places his gun and holster in the cut-out spot, and the panel
slides in again.
He flicks another and the same happens, this time his eye-piece goes
into it.
Without his eyepiece, it is revealed that Dreadlock is missing an
eye. There is just skin with a small metal cylinder poking out.
He finishes packing, and closes the suitcase.
He pushes a button on the suitcase.
A light glows red.
He walks to his computer and presses a menu item entitled
"X-Ray Proof".
The light on the suitcase changes from red to green.
He moves to a dresser and picks up his tickets and passport.
He opens the passport. His picture shows him wearing an eyepatch,
underneath is the name Geoffrey Pearson.
He places the tickets and passport back down and picks up an
eyepatch and puts it on.
He walks over to his bed and sits.
He picks up a small toolkit and extracts a screwdriver.
He holds up his left hand and studies it.
The left index finger opens and the blade slides out then in again.
The same happens on the middle finger.
A long stiletto appears slowly from the back of Dreadlocks
wrist, it extends out about six inches and slides back slowly again.
Dreadlock balls his hand into a fist, and the blade slides out
instantly.
He holds the fist up and rotates it slowly. A double edged blade
unfurls on each side of his wrist, stopping when they are perpendicular.
Dreadlocks hand is now a formidable weapon.
The blades all slide back into place, and Dreadlock stands.
He walks and stands in front of the mirror.
TIMELAPSE
He is now dressed in a conservative Business Suit, with a pair of
gloves on. Looking just like any business man with an eye-patch.
EXT: SYDney AIRPORT
A typical airport. Passengers with luggage are moving in and out of
the main terminal doors.
A taxi pulls up and Dreadlock steps out carrying his suitcase and a
small briefcase.
INT: Airport terminal
Dreadlock walks up to the check-in counter, placing his suitcase on
the hover-conveyor next to the counter.
A young OPERATOR attends him.
Operator
Hello sir can I help you.
dreadlock
Checking in for flight 2611 to Perth thanks.
Dreadlock hands her his ticket and passport. She picks them up and
starts reading.
operator
Thats fine sir.
She looks to her right.
operator
Just the one bag sir?
dreadlock
Yes.
The Operator places a tag on the bag and it moves off behind her. It
passes through a detector array, and an image flashes up on the screen in front of the
Operator.
A line of lights down the right hand side of the screen flash green.
A message appears: "PASSED".
The Operator looks up at Dreadlock and hands his ticket and passport
back.
Operator
Thats fine sir. Youll be boarding through Gate 6 in ten
minutes.
EXT: AIRPLANE
The plane resembles a space shuttle. Large exhaust ports are
situated on the fuselage. The ground crew are preparing it for take-off.
INT: AIRPLANE CABIN
Dreadlock is seated next to a FAT BUSINESS MAN. He places his
briefcase under the seat in front.
PILOTs voice
This is your Captain speaking. Our destination for this morning is
PERTH. Our cruising speed will be 4500 kilometres per hour, our cruising altitude will be
40,000 metres. This mornings flight time will be approximately one hour. On behalf
of the cabin crew I hope you enjoy your flight.
The fat business man next to Dreadlock turns and speaks to him.
FAT MAN
I hate long flights, dont you.
Dreadlock smiles and nods in agreement.
Go to part: [<<Prev] 1 2 3 4 5 [Next>>]
