4/6/92 D.G., W.H. 3.
JEFF:
As he walks through the temple --
EXT. PO LIN MONASTERY - NIGHT
Jeff comes out the huge doors.
Looks off at the city of Hong Kong across the harbor --
A million lights.
Beautiful, cooly remote...
JEFF - VERY CLOSE
The look in his eyes --
A moment of contemplation --
Tinged with regret?
He turns and moves off as THE SONG continues...
DISSOLVE.
EXT. TSIMSHATSUI DISTRICT - KOWLOON - NIGHT
The heart of Hong Kong's night life --
A massive NEON EXPLOSION of bars, restaurants, shops, cocktail lounges...
Five star luxe class hotels the size of airline terminals.
Nightclubs with lavish floor shows --
Chic discos -- every possible kind of restaurant...
EXT. WUCHOW DRAGON NIGHT CLUB - NIGHT
On a side street off Nathan road --
A small private club.
Rolls', Daimlers, Mercedes parked in front --
An elegant building with a traditional Chinese facade.
INT. WUCHOW DRAGON NIGHT CLUB - NIGHT
Expensively decorated with lacquered furniture, Chinese antiques --
A few knots of men at tables laden with bottles of liquor. Cognac, expensive Scotch...
Hostesses in Cheong Sams --
All nationalities.
Private rooms in back for gambling, opium, deals, sex...
Against the wall on a platform performing THE SONG;
A three piece group with a Woman Singer.
She is JENNY KWAN.
Late twenties. Beautiful.
