Aztec Treasure 23

Test

Sean and Grant are in the communications room with the door closed.

Sean: We've got a real problem with Alan Quartermaine's ego. I caught it on the phone with him.

Grant: When it's hospital ship business, the three of us have to meet. When you and I get together to discuss the treasure, the meetings have got to look like two bachelors getting together.

Sean: Or Alan's going to start to get nosy.

Grant: That's it.

Sean: You're right, Grant, absolutely right.

Grant: This is the last time I should come to your office to met you.

Sean: All right. We'll work out other places to meet. Partytime up in my penthouse.

Grant: Two bachelors whooping it up, that way Alan won't want to be included. (The phone rings and Sean answers it.)

Sean: Yes, Janet.

Janet: Two things, Mr. Donely.

Sean: Yes, what?

Janet: You've got a ship-to-shore call from the hospital ship.

Sean: I'll take it.

Janet (quickly) And can I go to lunch now?

Sean: Go. Connect me.

Janet: You're on.

Sean (into the phone) Donely speaking.

Scene cuts to Janet in the outer room where Janet is frantically gathering up her purse, sunglasses and bag lunch. She's interrupted when the phone rings.

Janet: Sean Donely's office. Oh, Gordy, I'm leaving right now. Honest. (She hangs up as Holly enters. Half-up from her desk, Janet looks dismaying at Holly.)

Holly: Hello...

Janet: Hello. I'm on my way out to lunch. My boyfriend's been waiting and waiting...

Holly: I won't keep you. By any chance is Dr. Grant Andrews here.

Janet (heading for the door) Yes, he's with Mr. Donely. Go right on in.

Holly: Thank you. (She watches Janet rush out and then goes over to the closed door to Sean's inner office. She thinks about knocking and then shrugs. She enters... and looks at an empty room.) What was that girl talking about?

The scene switches to the hidden communications room)

Sean (into the phone) Weather report okay? Good. Then the ship will dock at Nags Head at the agreed time. Thank you. (He puts the phone down and doesn't notice that the phone slips off it's cradle.

The scene switches back to an annoyed Holly in the inner office.

Holly: This is ridiculous. What got into that girl telling me Grant was here with... (on the word "what" Holly slams her purse down on Sean's desk and his inter-office communications board. Holly whirls about when she hears over the speaker....)

Sean (over the speaker) The weather's good, Grant, luck is with us.

Grant: And let's hope it holds. Once we get the treasure on the ship, we don't want any delays in getting the hell out of Nags Head.

(Holly's eyes widen with shock and she looks toward the door to the Communications room)

Holly (softly) Grant and Sean.....

Grant: When the wedding party gets off the pullman at Love's head...

Sean: We move the treasure from the pullman to the ship.

Holly (after a moment of frozen shock) I've got to tell Robert!

She turns to exit fast and runs right into Prescott. She opens her mouth to scream, but he grabs her and roughly covers her mouth. She stares at him, freightened as the scene fades out to commercial.
