ELEANOR GRANT:

You have a very brave father, Lynn.

LYNN looks up.

LYNN:

He's a hero.

ELEANOR GRANT:

Yes, yes he is.

LYNN:

Dads are like that.

She goes back to clinging to her father. Gene looks like he

might cry he, loves her so much.

GENE:

Can we go now?

ELEANOR GRANT:

Of course. I'll get a car to drive

you.

GENE:

No, that's... That's OK. We don't

need any help. We'll be just fine.

Won't we, Lynn?

LYNN nods. ELEANOR GRANT offers her hand to GENE.

ELEANOR GRANT:

Good luck.

GENE:

Same to you.

ELEANOR GRANT walks away. The PRESS renews their assault.

HUEY and GENE look at each other. Then:

GENE:

Thanks for the shine.

HUEY:

Thanks for the tip.

GENE:

(to LYNN)

Come on, kid. I gotta make a phone

call.

He gets up wearily, carrying his daughter, grabs his

briefcase, and heads away. LYNN peeks back over his shoulder

at HUEY, shyly waves. HUEY points at her.

HUEY:

Kisses to you.

LYNN laughs, comes to life.

LYNN:

No, kisses to you!

HUEY:

No, kisses to you.

INT. BONAVENTURE - LOBBY - DAY - 2:30PM

Across the lobby, GENE's watch lays on the ground. The crystal

is smashed, the hands stopped.

1:
31.

A shoe steps on the watch, crushing it further. It belongs

to the MYSTERY MAN. He stops, checks his perimeters and walks

slowly toward the exit.

FADE OUT:

THE END:
