1 EXT. METROPOLITAN CITY - DOWNTOWN - LATE NIGHT 1
Hot summer night. The flesh district - hookers working the
sidewalks, stopping cars.
MIKE REILLY, 20s, paces a corner, restless, looking for
action ... wet hair, three-day beard, trenchcoat, sneakers,
heat-seeking weary eyes. He flashes a wad of bills in an
effort to get some attention... no one notices.
Across the street, BILL RICE, 50's, a ragged transient,
strolls over.
RICE
Know what the problem is, kid? You're too
ugly to get propositioned.
REILLY
