MAN

Go ahead and call, for heaven's sake. It doesn't seem to have made a difference so far.

INDIO

They'll butcher us until they know every death on our side means a death on theirs.

VAISYA

You're crazy, Indio. They can obliterate everything.

INDIO

Themselves included.

VAISYA

What consolation is that?

MAN

Couldn't you at least wait until the State Department got this mess straightened out?

WOMAN

I've got to find them!

MAN

Well why don't you call?

WOMAN

I'm frightened.

VAISYA

The longer I hold this rifle the more I feel like an animal.

MAN

So am I.

(excitedly)

These things always get sidetracked!

INDIO

(aims rifle)

These things always do.
