INT. THE MONASTERY CLOISTERS. NIGHT
|
Hana comes through into the stables. The lamps lead her, then they stop. She peers into the shadows. |
|
 |
KIP: Hana.
She turns to the voice. He steps out of the darkness. |
|
HANA (happy): Kip. And he goes to her. |
 |
INT. CHURCH. DUSK
They enter the Church. It's in almost total darkness. Kip circles Hana with the rope, MAKING A SLING across her waist and shoulder. He lights a small flare and hands it to her before disappearing into the gloom.
 |
Hana stands holding the flare.
|
|
Kip runs up the sandbags, right up into the rafters. He collects the other end of the rope that is attached to Hana. Holding on to it, he just STEPS OFF INTO THE DARKNESS. |
 |
 |
SIMULTANEOUSLY HANA IS SWUNG UP INTO THE AIR, her startled yelp echoing around the Church. Kip touches ground, while Hana swings through space, coming to rest about three feet from the FRESCOED WALLS, painted by Piero della Francesca. Hana's flare makes a halo around her head. |
 |
Now Kip, on the ground, still
holding the rope, walks forward and causes Hana to SWING to the right.
|
|
She lets out a giddy laugh, exhilarated and nervous, and she flies, illuminating-en passant-faces, bodies, angels. |
 |
 |
Hana arrives, hovering, in front of THE QUEEN OF SHEBA TALKING TO SOLOMON. She's overwhelmed. She reaches out to touch the giant neck of the sad Queen. |
