The Crying Game

FADE IN:



EXT. CARNIVAL - DAY



A loudspeaker playing Percy Sledge's "When a Man Loves a

Woman," as we see a carnival in the distance - with a Ferris

Wheel turning round and round.
A black man is by a stall. On his arm is an Irish girl with

blond hair. The black man is drunk, and is tossing rings

around a bowling pin.
                       JODY

            And that's cricket, hon.
An attendant hands him the teddy bear. It looks ridiculous in

his huge hands. He gives it to the girl.
                       JODY

            You want it?
                       GIRL

            Sure.
                       JODY

            Doesn't matter if you don't.
He puts his arm around her and drags her on.
                       JODY

            Jody won't be offended. Jody's never

offended. What'd you say your name was?
                       GIRL
