Or if you told anybody else whereyou are?

Burnett's getting a "not again" look on his face when -

KUH-BOOM!

A SHOTGUN BLAST blows the front door open. Clutching thebag, Julie races around the living room.

BURNETT:

Let's go!

JULIE:

Luke?! Where's my other dog?!

Fine. So what do you want to do?

Where will you feel safe?

JULIE:

Burnett walks over to CHET, the doorman, a shifty littleguy who's always got his hand out. He's sitting on afolding chair reading Penthouse Forum.

CHET:

Detective Burnett... Mr. Lowrey is

out...

BURNETT:

He told me I could use the placetonight...

CHET:

Didn't mention it to me.

Chet holds out his hand. Burnett slips him ten. Chet

sneaks a peek over at the car, sees Julie putting onlipstick.

CHET:

Say. How's that Mrs. Burnett?

Burnett realizes this is going to cost him more. Gives

him another ten. But for Chet it's still not enough.

CHET:

Julie enters, looking left and right, cautious butimpressed by the stylish digs.

JULIE:

Nice... very nice.

BURNETT:

JULIE:

Right. What was your last pick?

A horse in the number two race at

Pimlico? Or did a bookie give youan inside tip.

CLOSE ON WINE RACK

Which Julie runs her hands across labels. All French.

BURNETT:

You must be tired -JULIE

BURNETT:

Satisfied? Good. So... why don'tyou make yourself at home? Here's

the T.V. remote. Watch yourselfsome 'Gilligan's Island' reruns orsomethin'.

Hits "ON" button. Instead of TV, the room immediatelybecomes a seduction den: lights dim, romantic music.

BURNETT:

Heh -- all these damn things lookalike.

(switches it off)

Well, gotta run... There's probablya couple of good steaks in thefridge for the dogs. Help yourselfto whatever.

(starts to go)

I'll check on you in the morning.

JULIE:

Where are you going?

BURNETT:

BURNETT:

Okay. Important lesson. Julie's

not a call girl. Can I go now?

JULIE:

Just one more thing.

Julie steps forward and wraps her arms around Burnett.

It's a one-way hug. Uncomfortable, Burnett doesn't

reciprocate other than a palsy pat on the back.

JULIE:

Thank you. For everything.

BURNETT:

Don't mention it.

Burnett tries to break toward the door when the PHONE

RINGS. Burnett stares at the phone, not knowing whatto do.

JULIE:

LOWREY'S MACHINE (V.O.)

Hi. You're live with Lowrey.

Leave it at the beep.

The PHONE BEEPS.

YVETTE (V.O.)
