Brazil (1985), script.

2/2

...

TUTTLE Are you expecting anyone?

SAM No. Wait here. He goes out closing the immediate door and goes to the front door which he opens. He is confronted by two officious little men in boiler suits who are standing outside his door. 

Their names are SPOOR and DOWSER. 

DOWSER is SPOOR's echo. 

SAM Yes? 

SPOOR Central Services. 

DOWSER ...ervices. 

SAM Uh - what? - I ... 

SPOOR You telephone, sir. 

DOWSER ...elephoned sir. 

SPOOR Trouble with your air-conditioning. 

DOWSER ...ditioning. 

SAM (gulps) No, not at all. I mean, it's all right. It's fixed. 

SPOOR Fixed? 

DOWSER Fixed? They don't like that. 

SAM I mean it fixed itself. 

SPOOR Fixed itself. 

DOWSER ...ixed itself. 

SPOOR Machines don't fix themselves. 

DOWSER ... fix themselves. 

SPOOR He's tampered with it, Dowser. 

DOWSER ...ampered. with it, Spoor. 

SAM Look, I'm sorry about your wasted journey 

SAM tries to close the door but 

SPOOR prevents this. 

SPOOR (to Dowser) I think we'd better have a look. 

DOWSER ... have a look. 

SAM No you can't. He is pushed aside. 

SPOOR followed by 

DOWSER, heads for the door behind which is MR TUTTLE. 

SAM is paralysed. 

SPOOR approaches the door as if it is dangerous. He turns the handle quietly and gives the door a little nudge. The door begins to swing slowly open. 

SAM Just a minute! 

SPOOR and DOWSER turn round as the door continues to swing open. When the door is open, behind their backs 

TUTTLE is seen holding his pistol in a two-handed grip, his knees slightly bent. 

TUTTLE freezes like that, pointing his pistol through the open door. 

SAM Have you got a 27B/6? 

DOWSER looks very angry. Veins stand out on his forehead and he goes into what looks like some sort of fit. 

SPOOR knocks him to the ground. 

SPOOR (to Sam) Now look what you've done to him. 

SAM Have you got one or haven't you?

SPOOR Not ... as such ... 

DOWSER moans and begins to get back on his feet. 

SPOOR But we can get one. 

SPOOR (worried about Dowser) It's all right, Terry, it's all right, everything's all right. 

SAM (ushering them to the door) I'm sorry, but I'm a bit of a stickler for paper work. Where would we be if we didn't follow the correct procedures? 

SPOOR We'll be back. 

DOWSER ...Be back.
