65.<br />
MABEL (CONT'D)<br />
A virtual skeleton. Took a pistol<br />
slap. I made the same choice once.<br />
Not to die on my bloody knees.<br />
FADE OUT.<br />
EXT. BARRACK BLOCK (DAWN)<br />
Two guards walk by carrying a STRETCHER.<br />
Beth makes out Bruce’s large gaunt frame under BLANKETS on<br />
the STRETCHER. His head is covered. One of his skeletal<br />
arms dangles down, bony fingers scraping the ground.<br />
Beth and Mabel stand at the door.<br />
MABEL<br />
He thought he was a Kalahari<br />
Bushman. Fought in Zimbabwe.<br />
Rhodesia. Apparently.<br />
Beth looks back to Mabel.<br />
Rhodesia?<br />
BETH<br />
MABEL<br />
(in Afrikaans)<br />
Don’t like to teach history<br />
these days, do they? Bloody war<br />
is still going on.<br />
What?<br />
BETH<br />
Mabel smiles.<br />
Exactly.<br />
MABEL<br />
EXT. COURT YARD (MORNING)<br />
The prisoners are in their orderly ranks. Beth stands<br />
weakly between Mabel and Nevil.<br />
The Guard Sergeant is running proceedings and stands<br />
facing the prisoners.<br />
Everybody watches as the Sympathetic Soldier is paraded<br />
in front of them in PLASTI-CUFFS.
