SCHAEFFER<br />
Thank you, Sheriff. It's been an<br />
education.<br />
He hangs up. A beat; the man is a study in frustration. Then he<br />
glances up.<br />
ANOTHER ANGLE<br />
Standing in his doorway are the two plainclothesmen who spotted<br />
Carter in Book's office in the earlier scene. And...<br />
EXT. LAPP FARM – DAY<br />
A bright, sunny afternoon.<br />
SAMUEL<br />
CUT TO:<br />
Where he's leading a team of horses to the barn. In the b.g. three<br />
buggies are parked in the barnyard, traces empty. Visitors.<br />
ANGLE IN SICKROOM<br />
Where Book lies in the bed. His fever seems to have subsided. He's<br />
<strong>com</strong>ing awake, tries to focus on the room.<br />
BOOK'S POV – CLERGY<br />
PANNING the four men in Amish black who are standing around the<br />
bed looking down at Book, muttering among themselves in German.<br />
These include TSCHANTZ, the district bishop, a hawk-nosed, sterneyed<br />
old fellow; Stoltzfus, a deacon as well as a healer; and two<br />
preachers, ERB and HERSHBERGER. Eli stands somewhat apart.<br />
ANGLE<br />
Another moment of silence, then Book opens his eyes.<br />
Tschantz rumbles in German.<br />
SUBTITLES OVER.<br />
TSCHANTZ<br />
Well, Stoltzfus, another Lazarus to your<br />
credit.<br />
STOLTZFUS<br />
He was touched <strong>by</strong> God's hand.<br />
Tschantz grunts, motions, for the other clergy aside with him.
