Eye In The Sky Movie Script

STEVE:

Hey, guys. Seen any giraffes?

FIRST CREWMAN: Matter of fact, yeah...

CARRIE:

Oh wow.

SECOND CREWMAN: A whole bunch of them ‘bout thirty miles east of the city.

FIRST CREWMAN: The LR crew saw a whole herd of elephant on take off.

CARRIE:

No kidding?

STEVE:

Makes a change from staring at goats.

The guys laugh. On one of the screens, we see the Parklands house and its neighbourhood. This image is fed from the MQ-9 Reaper UAV flying 20,000 feet above Nairobi.

FIRST CREWMAN: The aircraft is established in the orbit at Flight Level two zero zero, running covert. Aircraft and GCS are in the green with no write ups.

He gets up and STEVE settles into the seat.

SECOND CREWMAN: (to Carrie) All cameras checked good. Here is the target... Ground forces are two streets away, in an old factory, over here.

He pulls back on the throttle that controls the camera zoom and the image snaps out to a wider area. He points out the location of the fifty soldiers of D Company concealed in their compound.

CARRIE:

Okay, thanks.

CARRIE settles into her seat.
