PAGE 5 (six panels)

Panel 1: Long shot of a corridor. People walking through this corridor are dressed in uniform—mechanics, pilots, janitors. ANGELA is walking with them. She has changed into a clean jumpsuit. Her goggles are draped around her neck. She holds onto them with one hand, like they’re about to leap off of her. Her eyes are downcast.

Panel 2: Shot is from behind ANGELA’S head. At the end of the hallway is a door. Two men (CASSO and BRUIN) are standing outside of it. They’re both as bald as eggs, in orange jumpsuits. Between them sits a cart with a duffel bag and two large, hard plastic cases. The men are watching ANGELA approach. CASSO is tall and thin; he has big ears. BRUIN is squat and frowning.

1 CASSO:
'BOUT TIME YOU SHOWED UP, LYTTON.

2 BRUIN:
WE BEEN WAITING FOR AN HOUR ‘LEAST.

Panel 3: ANGELA looks at the two men with affection.

1 ANGELA:
SORRY, GUYS. THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY.

2 CASSO:
AND BENSON CONNED YOU INTO FIXING IT? YOUR LAST DAY ON THE JOB, AND HE...

3 BRUIN:
YOU'RE TOO SWEET, ANGELA.

4 ANGELA:
IT'S TRUE.

Panel 4: BRUIN has his hand on a palm reader at the door. He’s turning slightly towards ANGELA and CASSO to talk to them.

1 BRUIN:
WE TRIED TAKING YOUR LUGGAGE IN, BUT THE SHIPMATE’S BEING ANAL. ‘AUTHORIZED CREW ONLY,’ IT SAYS.

2 ANGELA:
WELL, YOU TWO DO LOOK DANGEROUS. BETTER LET ME TRY.

Panel 5: ANGELA is close to the door, with her hand extended on the palm reader. The door is opening--- you can include a ‘WHOOSH!’ SFX if you want.

Panel 6: ANGELA looks at BRUIN and CASSO. The men have picked up her bags off the cart.

1 ANGELA:
WELL. I GUESS...

2 CASSO:
WE'LL HELP YOU GET YOUR STUFF PACKED AWAY.
