Scene Twenty-Six - Parting

EXT. SHEPHEARD'S HOTEL. DAY

Almásy, still in the same clothes, and evidently weary, emerges from the cab, and pulls Katharine's belongings from the trunk, then holds open the door for her.

As she walks toward the hotel, he hands her bag to a porter. Katharine is stung.

KATHARINE: Will you not come in?

ALMÁSY: No. I should go home.

 

KATHARINE: Will you please come in?

ALMÁSY (a beat): Mrs. Clifton--Katharine turns, disgusted.

KATHARINE: Don't.

 

ALMÁSY: I believe you still have my book.

 

Katharine fishes the book from her knapsack, shoves it at him, then disappears inside the hotel.
