Scene Fifteen - Night Camp 2

EXT. BASE CAMP AT POTTERY HILL. NIGHT

The group of expeditioners is around the fire. Clifton holds up a glass.

CLIFTON: Gentlemen, to map-making!

ALL: Map-making!

MADOX: And a special thank-you to Geoffrey and Katharine, without whose fund-raising heroics we'd still be kicking our heels.

CLIFTON: To arm-twisting.

 

MADOX (to Almásy): Did Katharine say? Geoffrey has to fly to Cairo.

CLIFTON: Return the favor--take a few photographs of the Army.

 

 

ALMÁSY: What kind of photographs?

 

 

CLIFTON: Portraits. The Brigadier, the Brigadier's wife, the Brigadier's dogs, the Brigadier by the Pyramids, the Brigadier breathing. I shall of course be bereft, but finally able to explore the Cairo nightlife. I shall produce an authoritative guide to the Zinc Bars and--I want to say Harems--are we in the right country for Harems?
