ROGERS:

Ask Sergeant Chang to come in, please.

INT. PALE FLOWER NIGHTCLUB - WANCHAI - NIGHT

Another night.

Jenny sings ANOTHER SONG.

There is an oversized brandy snifter on top of her keyboard.

Across the way Jeff stands at the bar, watching her.

He finishes his drink.

Approaches Jenny.

Jeff puts a wad of bills in the snifter --

Lingers a moment.

She feels his presence.

Turns her dead eyes in his direction.

JENNY:

Do you have a request?

JEFF:

I'm sorry. I only speak English.

JENNY:

Do you wish a request?

He can't answer.

Moves away.

EXT. STREET - WANCHAI - NIGHT

Some of the other clubs on the street are already closed.

Others are closing.

Jeff comes out of the Pale Flower.

Lights a cigarette.

Moves off down the street.

INT. PALE FLOWER NIGHTCLUB - WANCHAI - NIGHT

Jenny is packing up to leave.

She takes the money from the snifter.

Puts it in her purse.

A WAITER tries to help her to the door --

JENNY:

It's all right, I can manage by myself.

WAITER:

Do you have a ride home?

JENNY:

There's a cab stand at the end of the street.

4/6/92 D.G., W.H. 14

WAITER:

Wait a minute. I'll walk with you..

JENNY:

Please. I'll be all right by myself.

She knows the way out.

No need for the white cane she carries.

EXT. STREET - WANCHAI - NIGHT

Jenny comes out of the nightclub.

Turns left and starts up the street.

Now she needs the cane --

Behind her a MOTORCYCLE comes slowly up the street.

TWO RIDERS.

They trail her for a moment.

Speed up --

The passenger GRABS Jenny's bag.

Knocks her over.

The Driver accelerates...

Gets about ten feet. Jeff suddenly appears out of the shadows --

A FLYING KICK sends Driver and Passenger sprawling.

The motorcycle CRASHES into a flower stand --

JEFF:

Pounces on the Kid with Jenny's bag

Grabs the bag as the Driver runs off.

Jeff indicates the other Kid should follow him --

He does.

And fast.

JENNY:

On her hands and knees groping for her cane --

Jeff comes over to her.

Tries to help her up --

She thinks it's one of the muggers --

Wrenches free.

JENNY:

Help! Get away from me.

JEFF:

Wait...

She finds her cane and swings it at him.

He catches it.

Then grabs her hands.
