STARLING
That. I know Robert seems dreadful,
but when you truly get to know the man,
well, he's much worse.
(beat)
And I'm one of his defenders.
(Patterson smiles)
Forget him for now- it's your first
ride to Tsavo- I think you'll find it
breathtaking.
(And on that word-)

CUT TO

STARLING coughing like crazy, hands over his face which is caked with
dust- he and Patterson stare out at an absolutely dreary desert.

PATTERSON
(shouting toward Starling)
"Breathtaking" doesn't begin to do it
justice.
(As Starling starts to
laugh, his mouth opens
and sand flies in, and
his coughing fit returns
and)

CUT TO

THE DESERT. ENDLESS. LATER IN THE DAY.

CUT TO

THE TWO OF THEM, bent over, arms covering their faces as the dust gets
worse- a wind has kicked up.

CUT TO

THE TRAIN, TRYING TO MAKE IT UP A STEEP GRADE. STILL LATER.

Patterson and Starling are walking beside the train now, helping to push
it, trudging through the dust. All the other passengers spread out
behind them, also pushing- the train obviously needs all the assistance
it can get.

CUT TO

INSIDE A RAILROAD CAR, EARLY EVENING.
