	"THE FABULOUS BAKER BOYS"


	FADE IN:

	JACK BAKER

	is standing before a dirty window, looking
	out at a dirty city street.  He is wearing a tuxedo.

				VOICE (O.S.)
		Hey.

	WIDEN ANGLE

	It's the GIRL from this afternoon.

				JACK
		Hey.

	Jack looks at the Girl, sleepy and warm under the
	bedcovers, then at the rest of the apartment.  
	Not good.

				GIRL
		Whatcha doin' over there?

				JACK
		Gotta go.

				GIRL
		How come?

				JACK
		Job.

	The Girl glances at the bedside clock.

				GIRL
		Funny hours.

				JACK
		Funny job.

				GIRL
		Will I see you again?

	Jack looks out at the dirty street again.

				JACK
		No.

	The Girl doesn't appear terribly unnerved by this.

				GIRL
			(at the tux)
		You weren't wearing that, were
		you? Earlier.

	Jack shakes his head, taps a brown paper bag on
	the sill.

				JACK
		Brought it.

				GIRL
		Shit, thank God.  You look like a creep.

				JACK
		Thanks.

				GIRL
		I mean, I'd hate to think I'd pick up someone
		who wore that shit.

	Jack smiles, grabs the paper bag, and moves to
	the door.

				GIRL
			(continuing)
		Hey.
			(as he stops)
		You got great hands.
