EXT. DAY. DESERT.
A NOMAD IS WANDERING WITH HIS CAMEL WHEN HE MEETS ANOTHER NOMAD AND CAMEL.
N1: Hello, you're?
N2: We've never met.
N1: Ok, on your own then?
N2: Yeah, looks like it.
N1: Bad year for the crops.
N2: Sand's not so good for growing.
N1: That's true, very barren and dry, there's a word I'm looking for..
N2: Arid.
N1: Bingo. Arid, that's the one. (PAUSE) Eating well?
N2: I haven't had any banquets lately but I get just about enough.
N1: Yeah same here, we're all in the same boat.
N2: Yep, we sure are.
N1: Do you ever think it would be good if camels talked, you know, for the company and that?
N2: Yeah, well, maybe, actually I don't know. Once you get used to them not talking it would be quite a shock if they started.
N1: Yeah, yeah. (LOOKS AROUND AND STARTS WHISTLING) Warm one.
N2: Warm one, yep. Very, very warm one.
N1: Needn't complain though, middle of the afternoon in the desert there'd be something wrong if it wasn't warm.
N2: There would be something wrong indeed, yep. If there was sub zero temperatures here at the minute you'd have cause for complaint.
N1: What way are you heading?
N2: What way are you heading?
N1: I'm going this way.
N2: I'm going that way.
N1: I was thinking of going that way.
N2: I prefer travelling alone, if that's ok with you.
N1: Ok, I'd best be off. If you come across any goodies, give us a shout.
N2: I'll holler for all I'm worth, bye.
N1: Bye.
