PAYNE:

I won't be able to get cash till the bank opens

tomorrow.

JEFF:

I'll just keep you with me until then.

PAYNE:

You have my word of honor you will get the money.

JEFF:

Your word stinks and you have no honor. That's

why we're all here in this car --

PAYNE:

You were seen at the Weng hit. The police are

looking for you.

JEFF:

That's my problem.

PAYNE:

It becomes mine if they catch you.

JEFF:

Don't worry. I know the rules even if you don't.

PAYNE:

I know the rules. I'm good for the money. I'll pay

you..

JEFF:

Maybe you're right. I don't think I could stand being

with you for the next eight hours. Sometime after

midnight, I'd get bored looking at your pretty face.

I'~l have to do something about it.

(to Sidney)

l ct me out here.

Sidney pulls over to let him out.

JEFF:

I'll be in touch. Don't f*** with me about the

money. Twenty four hours. Or your dead.

He's out the door and gone.

Disappearing into the street throng

INT. ROYAL HONG KONG POLICE H.Q. - ROGERS' OFFICE - DAY

Lee, Chang, Rogers..

LEE:

I could have shot him, but I felt it would endanger the

civilian.

ROGERS:

The Commissioner will find this a welcome change

From your previous policy. This civilian is the girl he

blinded in the Lim hit --

They acknowledge this.

ROGERS:

And now she's his girlfriend. It's a novel approach

to courtship. I assume she's still under surveillance?

CHANG:

Twenty four hours a day. Phone tapped and we've

lifted her passport.

ROGERS:

My guess is your man is long gone by now.

LEE:

l le's not going to leave without the girl. He said so.

ROGERS:

And you're prepared to rely on his word?

LEE:

Absolutely.

ROGERS:

You'll l pardon my cynicism.

CHANG:

\Ve really don't have anything else to go on --

LEE:

He'll show up for the girl.

ROGERS:

As we have nothing to do, but wait, I suppose we'll

wait..
