1.   FADE IN:

     CLOSE SHOT   A WHISKEY TUMBLER



That sits on an oak side bar under a glowing green bankers

lamp, as two ice cubes are dropped in.  From elsewhere in

the room:


Man  (off)

I'm talkin' about friendship.  I'm talkin' about

character.  I'm talkin' about--hell, Leo, I ain't

embarassed to use the word--I'm talkin' about

ethics.


Whiskey is poured into the tumbler, filling it almost to

the rim, as the offscreen man continues.


. . . You know I'm a sporting man.  I like to

make the occasional bet.  But I ain't that

sporting.


     THE SPEAKER

          FADE IN:



          1 INT. HARVEY'S KITCHEN - RECORDED WILL - NIGHT - 1978



Close on a finger pressing the "record" button of a circa

1970's tape recorder.


          HARVEY MILK (V.O.)

          This is Harvey Milk speaking on

Friday November 18th. This is to be

played only in the event of my

death by assassination...

REVEAL: HARVEY MILK, 48, sitting at his kitchen table in a

cluttered San Francisco apartment.


          HARVEY MILK (CONT'D)

          During one of the early campaigns,

I started opening my speeches with

the same line and it sort of became

my signature...


          2 EXT. CITY HALL - NIGHT



In street clothes, trying to corral an angry mob on City

Hall's steps, Harvey lifts a bullhorn.
