INT. 30 ST. STATION, PHILADELPHIA – DAY<br />
Rachel is in a line at one of the counters. The plain dress of the<br />
two Amish – particularly Samuel's black coat and hat – are drawing<br />
curious stares.<br />
SAMUEL<br />
He's un<strong>com</strong>fortably aware of the shy looks and giggles of a little<br />
girl about his own age, standing in line with her parents at the<br />
next counter. He edges away from his mother...<br />
ANGLE<br />
As Samuel <strong>com</strong>es upon a figure garbed in a long black frock coat<br />
and flat-brimmed hat... the man's back is turned, could, from<br />
appearances, be an Amishman.<br />
Samuel stares... A beat, the man turns to face Samuel and we<br />
discover that he is a Hasidic Jew.<br />
SAMUEL<br />
As he reacts.<br />
BACK TO TICKET COUNTER<br />
As Rachel's turn arrives. The TICKET SELLER glances up and she<br />
shows him her ticket.<br />
RACHEL<br />
We have a ticket to Baltimore. Where is<br />
that train, please?<br />
TICKET SELLER<br />
Delayed three hours. You'll hear an<br />
announcement when it's time to board.<br />
He starts to go without his hat, but Rachel collars him and puts<br />
it on his head.<br />
ANGLE IN MEN'S ROOM<br />
As Samuel enters.<br />
It's a long row of sinks, urinals, and stalls... Samuel stops<br />
before one of the urinals – a long, trough-like affair with water<br />
drizzling down the rear porcelain panel.<br />
It's set a little high for Samuel, and it is making GLUGGING-<br />
FLUSHING NOISES that are, at least, intimidating. Samuel stares<br />
for a moment, then turns, looks toward the stalls, stoops to see<br />
which are empty.
