ENGINEER as a surprise for his friend.)



(Across the room, the ENGINEER speaks to KIM.)



ENGINEER

you said you'd turn a trick

you'd better prove it, and quick!



(he leads KIM to CHRIS)



(A MARINE begins to play the saxophone. CHRIS and KIM start to dance. For a long time

they don't speak. Finally:)
