INT BLUE EMPRESS OFFICE - NIGHT

Inside, behind a desk sporting two surveillence monitors,

working a phone is HENRY LEE. He's mid- forties and slicker

than an oil spill. The consummate chameleon. Whatever he

needs to be, he is. If Satan walks earth, it's in the body of

Henry Lee.

LEE:

(Cantonese)

Forty thousand a piece. Fifty percent up front or else

the shipment will never leave the boat...Fine.

Lee hangs up as Chen fires the smoke he lifted from an ivory box on Lee's desk.

LEE:

My congratulations on your commendation. I trust you

enjoyed the little gift I sent over.

Lee lights a cigarette of his own, enjoying making Chen feel

like a mutt. Chen doesn't like it much, but knew it would happen

the minute he started undressing Lee's present.

LEE:

Uncle Benny is very proud of you.

Lee reaches into his desk drawer, produces a bulging envelope

and hands it to Chen who quickly counts the pile of hundreds.

CHEN:

Thought he'd be more proud this time.

LEE:

He is.

Lee lifts his wastepaper basket revealing strips of paper.

LEE:

Your markers. Two thousand eighty three of them. You

really should consider other forms of recreation.

Chen slides the envelope of cash into his jacket pocket.

CHEN:

Your soldier who got killed the other day was working

with the F.B.I.

Lee's smile dampens but his calm remains intact.

LEE:

Really?

CHEN:

Medical Examiner found a wire on him and the Feds

came down to pick it up. Lucky for you it had about six

bullets in it so it wasn't much good.

LEE:

Lucky for you too maybe.

Chen lets it pass.

CHEN:

That, plus the tourist who got killed, have the

Feds worked up. Word is they're going after the

triad. Probably Uncle Benny himself.

LEE:

Why us? It's the Fukienese Dragons who killed her.

We're just trying to do business as we've always done.

CHEN:

Because you're suppose to keep order in Chinatown.

LEE:

It's not like it once was. The youth gangs are not

easily controlled. They have no respect, no honor.

CHEN:

That's your problem. You can't control them, the

Feds are gonna revoke your free parking.

LEE:

Taking care of the Fukes is your problem. That's why

we pay you.

CHEN:

Yeah, well, it doesn't really matter cause to the Feds

you're all the same.
