Actually, I thought that the transition from Pointsman's "we want to
expose Slothrop to the German rocket" to the description of the Whit
Visitation was very cinematic.  I could almost feel/see the camera zooming
in here, pulling pack there, panning, tilting, etc.

CLOSE-UP On POINTSMAN
Pointsman:  We want to expose Slothrop to the German rocket.

PULL BACK AND TILT UP TO CEILING

Then just follow the "camera" from there.
