HAL TAFFIN: So, you're back again. You got enough money this time make me feel like talking to you?

LEV ARRIS: Yup.

(TO SC 117)

SC.117 ON TAFFIN (ARRIS IN B.G.)

Taffin sits on the desk, looks away from Arris, as if
getting uncomfortable. He touches the ruined part of his
face nervously.

TAFFIN

I sold it to a guy named Angus Santana,

on Anhur. He works for some charity

called Interplanetary Aid.

ARRIS

What did Santana want with it?

TAFFIN

They were looking for something to

use as a medevac.

ARRIS

How come you sold it so fast?

TAFFIN

I don't like trouble. That ship's

trouble. There were some people..

(Touches face nervously again)

There were lots of questions.

Everyone's been getting rid of

anything they have from that ship.

ARRIS

Why all the interest in

it?

TAFFIN

Get outta here
