     EXT.  STREET IN GEORGETOWN -- MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT



Fog hangs above the street, amongst the streetlamps.  Apartment

buildings line the curb, it is very quiet.  In one building, six floors

up, a bedroom light is on.  WE SEE the silhouette of Norman's WIFE

looking out the window.
                         WIFE (O.S.)

               What kind of a crash was it?
                         NORMAN (O.S.)

               You seen my suitcase?
                         WIFE (O.S.)

               There's nothing on the news about a

crash.  Did he say what airline?
                         NORMAN (O.S.)

               He didn't say much at all.  Honey --
                         WIFE (O.S.)
