MAN:

Did you ever see the Maltese Falcon?

She looks at him as he CRANKS UP the CIGARETTE and backs

away from the pier.

MAN:

1941. Nominated for three

Academy Awards, lost, but what

the f*** does the Academy know

anyway. John Houston's first

film and probably Bogey's best.

He turns the BOAT around and POWERS out of the bay.

MAN:

At the end, when they realize the

bird's a fake, and all they had

gone through and sacrificed was for

nothing, Gutman, the bad guy in the

movie, says, 'well, sir, what do you

think, shall we stand here, shed

tears, and call each other names,

or shall we go to Istanbul?'

(CONTINUED)

113.

180 CONTINUED:

GINGER:

Istanbul? What's in Istanbul?

MAN:

The, ah, stuff dreams are made of.

GINGER:

Huh?

They both smile as the CIGARETTE disappears toward the

horizon.

FADE OUT.
