                 People were always asking me, did I

know Tyler Durden.
     FADE IN:



     INT.  SOCIAL ROOM - TOP FLOOR OF HIGH RISE -- NIGHT



TYLER has one arm around Jack's shoulder; the other hand

holds a HANDGUN with the barrel lodged in JACK'S MOUTH.

Tyler is sitting in Jack's lap.
They are both sweating and disheveled, both around 30; Tyler

is blond, handsome; and Jack, brunette, is appealing in a

dry sort of way.  Tyler looks at his watch.

                 One minute.

(looking out window)

This is the beginning.  We're at

ground zero.  Maybe you should say a

few words, to mark the occasion.
                             JACK
