Time Lady of L.A. #13: Page 27
Page 27, 4 Panels- Tahrir Square, 1985 Cairo Egypt Panel 1: Close-up on the upper half of W's body as he starts to take six steps away from M. The phone (which is very clearly an iPhone) is pressed to the man's ear, listening to the unheard person on the other end. In the background, you can faintly see M in the distance listening to the conversation. There's also a little more of the section of buildings on the Square that we saw in the middle of the previous page. (PAGE NOTE- The background of the page, hidden amongst the panels, should look like the door-like front of the T.E.D. time travel device that we saw all the way back in Issue 9) W [into the phone, pleasant; Bubble 1]: Hello sir, how was your trip from... W [Cont., surprised and taken aback; Bubble 2]: Wait, anomaly?...But that's impossible! They're back in 2014. How could they be--? Panel 2: Same setting/layout as the previous panel. The same shock that was in his voice in the 2nd speech bubble is now visible in his face as the conversation with the person on the other end ("The American") continues. In the background, you can start to see M move forward toward the foreground. W [nodding; Bubble 1]: Yes, sir....Y--Yes, sir. I--I know it's not my place to argue with you or the Hierarchy....I know the hardwork and resources you've poured into the E.o.M. Everything you've done for me, I'm forever grateful, sir. I... W [Cont.; Bubble 2]: If I knew they were here, I absolutely would have brought them to your immediate attention. I...Of course I would, my--my loyalty has never been in ques... Panel 3-4: Same setting/layout as the previous panel. It's here that W, for the first time in this page, has stopped moving while M continues forward. His attention to the conversation is at its highest peak, revealing a very subservient manner in terms of his body language, which continues on to Panel 4. It's here that we see M now in full view over W's slightly perturbed shoulder. W [Panel 3, Bubble 1]: Yes, sir...Of course, sir. I--I'm on my way to the mansion now. I...It's completely understandable that you'd wanna have Mr. Sims there to montior things. But personally, I thi... W [Cont.; Panel 3, Bubble 2]: I promise, sir, this situation will be taken care of long before you arrive for the Rally...I'll see you after the Rally...Yes, God bless Capitalism... W [clicking the button to end the call; Panel 4]: Bye, Mr. Tyrell! M [to W, with a sarcastic glee through robotic filter; Panel 4]: Need a little help? END OF ISSUE 13
