ALICE: (jubilantly) It means--it means that twenty men are crossing that lawn. It means that while you sat drinking there, Civilization was racing toward you at seventy miles an hour! HATCH: Damnation! We're trapped. Get to the wagon--quick! No. Leave the girl alone. We've no time for that. Drop that stuff. That way. That way. REDDY: (at window) No. Get back! Get back! It's too late. There's hundreds of them out there. HATCH: (running to centre door) Out here! This way! Quick! ALICE: (mockingly) Yes, come! You don't dare come this way NOW! (She drags open the curtains, disclosing CAPTAIN LUCAS and two other policemen. For an instant they stand, covering the burglars with revolvers. REDDY runs to window. He is seized by an entering crowd of men in the oil-stained blue jeans of engineers and brakemen.) |
