32 INT. WINDOW - DAY<br />
32<br />
KATHY, RUTH, AMANDA, LAURA, and the five other girls stand<br />
in the shadows of Hailsham’s front doorway, watching the<br />
CAR approach.<br />
33 EXT. DRIVEWAY - DAY<br />
33<br />
The car pulls up on the gravel courtyard of Hailsham, and<br />
parks.<br />
The driver, MADAME, exits the car, then goes around to the<br />
boot -<br />
- which she opens.<br />
Inside is her luggage - a small overnight bag.<br />
She takes it out, closes the boot, then turns -<br />
- and STARTS.<br />
Because surrounding her, in a tight circle, are the nine<br />
girls.<br />
There are standing several feet away, not moving. Just<br />
looking at MADAME.<br />
A beat. Frozen and uncertain for MADAME.<br />
Then she starts to walk.<br />
And almost as soon as she does so -<br />
- the children start to walk too.<br />
Moving straight for her. Making her stop again in her<br />
tracks, and hold the overnight bag to her chest.<br />
In a slightly stiff, glazed way, the girls each murmur,<br />
dream-like -<br />
GIRLS<br />
Excuse me, miss.<br />
- as they pass her.<br />
Then they separate, each walking in different directions...<br />
... leaving MADAME alone.<br />
SHOOTING SCRIPT 24TH MARCH p20.<br />
It’s a very odd moment. Surreal. But it reveals exactly<br />
what RUTH said it would.
