Ext. Desert. Day
The sun is beating down on the scorched earth. A lizard darts from under one
rock and quickly takes shelter in the shade of another. From off screen, the sound
of digging and scraping. Camera pans across the arid landscape to find Reinholdt
Jackson digging up dirt from a hole in the ground.
JACKSON
It has to be it has to be…. This was the spot
He keeps digging in desperation. He is now neck-deep in the hole.
JACKSON
This was the spot marked X. It has to be!...
He gives up, crawls out and throws his shovel down in frustration and shakes his
fist at the sky
JACKSON
Curse you Bob Appleby!! Curse you. I’ll get you
Back if it’s the last thing I do.
