Clo�Clo, feet wide apart, arms and hands still half raised
and holding the castanets, watches. The orchestra plays
feebly on.
Suddenly Clo�Clo smiles. She lifts her hands a little higher,
takes a step forward and lets the castanets loose with a roll
that sounds like machine�gun fire. The leopard startled,:
twists in a half turn of fright, strains suddenly at the
leash and lunges forward. The leash pulls out of Kiki's
frightened hand.
REFLECTION SHOT in the pool. The still water reflects the
quick bound and leap of the leopard in its panic flight for
freedom.
MED. CLOSE SHOT - Kiki. She stands leaning against the table,
trembling in fright. Behind her Clo�Clo can be seen can be
seen on the platform, smiling. Jerry comes into the scene,
puts his arm about Kiki's waist.
JERRY:
Are you all right?
KIKI:
(wildly, and
in disgust)
Now look what you've done.
The familiar tone of anger reassures Jerry.
JERRY:
(briefly)
You are all right.
MED. SHOT - the leopard bounding through the gate.
MED. SHOT at the gate. A waiter with a napkin over his arm
and a water carafe in his hand, stands aghast, pressing his
back to the wall in fear. The water carafe falls with a
crash. The waiter holds up his hand, dazed. His hand is
streaming with blood.

We TRUCK WITH them down the alley. They bring us to the open
end of the passage, athwart which a fire truck is parked.
Near this fire truck stands the Chief of Police, Robles, a
dignified, well�spoken, Mexican police officer, serious and
conscientious, very much on duty at all times.
No leopard, Chief -- no cat, no
kittens, nothing. We're going to
tackle the houses
Robles nods. He makes a gesture to one of the men on the fire
truck and two long lances of light pierce the darkness of the
alley.
LONG SHOT - Pasaje De Las Sombras. The shafts of light from
the searchlights cross and re-cross, moving, as they explore
the dark jags and corners of the alley. It is one of the

sun has difficulty lightening its dark shadows. The adobe
houses, standing wall to wall, were never built on any
