SAMPLE

Samson strides across the midway, followed by JONESY. The midway is a flurry of activity. Tents are going up, and people are doing morning chores, as Samson stalks past, Jonesy limping along behind him.

JONESY
I'm serious!

SAMSON
Carnies belly-achin'. Sounds real serious to me.

JONESY
I'm tellin' ya. I got to talkin' with the men and they were telling things they're not happy with.

They pass a roustabout, OSGOOD, with a wheelbarrow under a tent.

SAMSON
Osgood! Run get the sedan.

Osgood immediately drops what he's doing and runs.

JONESY
It ain't just belly-achin. I got men ready to bolt.

SAMSON
Look, I don't have time for this.

JONESY
They've been hinky since we left the circuit. Now you got us settin' up in the middle of nowhere. It just don't make sense to me is all.

Roustabouts, as they pass, pretend not to be listening, but there are suddenly men walking by and standing close to Jonesy, "not listening."

SAMSON
Look, it ain't my call!

JONESY
Well, then talk to him. Tell him!

SAMSON
You know that ain't gonna do a damn bit of good.
