Timeline Page #5

Synopsis: In this case, a group of archaeologists and combat experts led by Paul Walker and Frances O'Connor use a "3-D fax machine" (so much for technobabble!) to time-travel back to France in 1357, in hopes of retrieving Walker's father and returning safely to the present. No such luck! Fending for themselves against marauding hordes of medieval French warriors at war with the invading British, these semi-intrepid travelers find their body count rising, and the deadline for their return home is rapidly approaching.

Over here, Andre,

This way, Come on,

My marker, Guys, l lost my marker!

Don't worry, we only need one marker

to get home, OK?

- This can't be happening,

- Careful with the rest,

Those bastards killed Franois,

Professor,

Professor!

Oh, my God, You got my message,

Chris, your dad,

- Dad,

- Chris, my son,

- Glad you're still alive,

Oh, God,

What happened?

- You've lost such blood,

- lt's not my blood,

lt's Franois',

He's dead,

Oliver had him killed

because he's French,

This guy had a sword

and he just ran him through,

Professor, what happened?

l was trying to avoid the English,

but they found me in the monastery,

l convinced Oliver l was a magister

on my way to Dublin,

l skipped Shakespeare,

What is a magister?

- lt's a scientist,

- He accused me of being a spy,

- How did you survive that?

- l promised Oliver a new weapon,

What kind of weapon?

A liquid fire so intense

that even water couldn't harm it,

Greek fire?

You promised him Greek fire?

Professor, l'm sorry, have you

considered what you may have done?

You've given the English

a serious advantage in this battle,

- They're supposed to lose the war!

- l was alone!

- Marek, Marek!

- l'm sorry, l'm sorry, You're right,

The point is,

when these guys come here,

and take us up to La Roque,

when they seal that place off for battle,

there is no escape,

We're as good as dead,

- No, we gotta get out of here now,

- Wait, wait, wait,

Remember that field

where the peasant huts were?

That's the closest place

with enough room to use the marker,

- How do we get there?

- We have to do it fast,

- We've got four hours,

- Four hours is plenty,

The way l see it, we've got 650 years

of knowledge on these guys,

There's no reason why we shouldn't

be able to get home in 20 minutes,

- OK, let's find a way out,

- Let's look around,

There's a hole here

big enough to climb through,

- Quiet!

- OK, all right,

She was with the group

we caught earlier, my lord,

May l ask why

you're trespassing on my land?

Come, come,

- What are you doing?

- Here's what l'll do:

l'm gonna scale down the wall, When

it's clear, l'm gonna let you guys out,

- All right,

- You're not going anywhere,

What? l am, l'm,,,

Marek, l'm the best climber,

l am the best climber,

lf anyone should

be going, it should be me,

but those roof slats won't

hold me, or you, or you, Chris,

- No, no,,,

- Wait, Wait,

But they might hold you, Kate,

Now, Kate, this isn't a game,

Are you prepared to take a life?

l'll do what l have to do,

There's no way,

You're not going anywhere,

lt's going to be all right, OK?

There's one thing worse than

dying here, and that's living here,

l refuse to do either,

l'm going, lt's OK,

She's right,

Kate,

- Please, please take care,

- Hey, it's easy, lt's gonna be easy,

and keep it open,

Search everywhere and capture them!

Oh, by the way,

my name's Andre Marek,

Castlegard was your village, wasn't it?

- Don't worry, you'll return there soon,

- No,

The English will burn it to the ground

before they move to La Roque,

- No, La Roque will fall too,

- Yes,

But it will take many more lives

and many months of fighting

before it happens,

The French built that fortress,

We know how strong it is,

La Roque will fall tonight,

Only a prophet,,,or a fool

could make such a claim,

ln your case, it's probably the fool,

Whichever makes you smile like that,

Are you,,,married?

No,

We've been fighting the English

since before l was born,

There's no time for marriage,

Of course,

Are you with,,,anyone?

- Am l with anyone?

- Yeah,

l'm with you,

l know, l know,

What l mean is, is there someone,,,?

ls there someone that you see?

- Do l see?

- Yeah,

Nobody, lt is possible

they are hiding on the shore

or in the woods,

They could be anywhere,

Oh, God, You know, it's funny,

Jeff Maguire

Jeff Maguire (born 1952) is an American screenwriter.Regarded for his talent for writing sports films, Jeff Maguire got his first screenwriting break with his script Escape to Victory, a film about soccer directed by John Huston in 1981. His most recent contribution is Gridiron Gang, released in 2006. Maguire's most famous film is In the Line of Fire starring Clint Eastwood and directed by Wolfgang Petersen, for which he received a Best Original Screenplay Oscar nomination for 1993. In 1990 Maguire was approached by producer Jeff Apple to develop his Secret Service agent concept into a film treatment. Maguire was in debt to his relatives and about to have his utilities turned off when his script based on Apple's concept, "In the Line of Fire," went into a bidding war between Tom Cruise, Sean Connery, and Clint Eastwood. When he received a call from Eastwood congratulating him on the completed deal (over $1,000,000.00) Jeff's wife reportedly had to return a dress so they could afford to go out to dinner to celebrate. Prior to this, various moguls had rejected and almost destroyed the story. Dustin Hoffman cleverly added the hero's guilt over failing to save JFK, then exited; Tom Cruise's people demanded this be deleted, because a 28-year-old hero would not have been around for JFK. The dead-broke writer spurned about $100,000 from Cruise, but wound up with Clint Eastwood and about $1,000,000.Jeff Maguire is a graduate of Hampshire College, Amherst, Massachusetts. Raised in Greenwich, Connecticut, Maguire was once a railroad worker, a waiter, and a volunteer counselor with Mother Teresa's group, Missionaries of Charity, in the Pico-Union section of downtown Los Angeles, working primarily with Hispanic gangs. In the 1980s and 90s, he also frequented the famous Manhattan Beach, California video store Video Archives, where future filmmakers Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary were clerks. Today, Jeff Maguire is a follower of Meher Baba and has contributed to the Meher Baba journal, Glow International.Jeff Maguire appears in In the Line of Fire briefly as a secret service officer running alongside the president's limousine. more…
