Eye In The Sky Movie Script

FOUR COMPANY MANNEQUINS demonstrate military clothing. One wears undergarments, the second fatigues and the third is in full operational military body armour.

JAMES WILLETT, British Foreign Secretary, pale and sweaty in the heat, stands in front of the company name and slogan - Soldier Safety First -as he speaks to a small audience gathered around the stand.

YELLOW SHOOTING SCRIPT 12 September 2014 10.

JAMES:

On behalf of the British government, I am proud to introduce Integrated Battlefield Solutions, a UK company leading the field in the production of life-saving, lightweight military clothing.

Protecting our soldiers in the field of battle is at the core of my government’s commitment to our armed forces. Soldier safety first is why we are in partnership.

IBS director, NIGEL ADLER, beside him, nods vigorously.

JAMES (CONT’D) And so I am very pleased to introduce you to IBS managing director, Mister Nigel Adler.

A ripple of applause from the BRITISH REPS - but most of the people watching are invited FOREIGN BUYERS and they wait in silence for ADLER to speak.

Also watching are KATE BARNES (25), PR to the Foreign Secretary, and TOM BELLAMY (28), his aide.

ADLER:

Thank you very much, Foreign Secretary. We feel extremely honoured that you have taken time out of your hectic schedule to open our stand this afternoon. Thank you.

JAMES smiles bravely - but he is struggling with what turns out to be food poisoning.

KATE:

(a whisper to Tom) He’s going to throw up.

TOM:

I told him not to eat the prawns.

ADLER:

Today we are introducing three new

ranges:

the Adamant Assault Body Armour System, the Personal Camouflage System and our light, fast-wicking underclothing range... JAMES is struggling to keep his insides under control.

19 EXT. POWELL HOME/COUNTRY LANE - SURREY - MORNING 19 A car drives away from a modest, secluded country home and heads off down a quiet tree-lined road.

20 INT. CAR - COUNTRY LANE - SURREY - MORNING 20 POWELL, tense, drives. Now wearing the military uniform of an Army Colonel, she is on her car-mounted cell phone.

COLONEL POWELL: Simon, I will not have the boys bringing friends back for the night without asking me.

(a beat) I’m not having it.

(a beat) If they want to do all that, they can do it away from home.

She’s still so angry about it, she can’t finish the call: COLONEL POWELL (CONT’D) It’s not right - and I’m not having it.

That hasn’t calmed her down either.
