The club is closing, Maurice is locking up and turning the lights off out

front. CAMERA hangs around with Buck, Becky and Reed. (Director's Note:

They pass Little Bill who walks to his old Station Wagon, rips a parking

Yeah. Is Andy there? Is he . . . ?

I'd like to say hello, I'd like to say

hello to my son and that's all.

(beat)

Lemme tell you something, Tom.

Lemme tell you something you don't know;

I know a lawyer, you understand?

You might think I don't but I do

and I'll take you to court . . . .

No . . . please don't, Tom, Tom, Tom --

Dial tone from the phone. She hangs up.

7 INT. LITTLE BILL'S HOUSE - NIGHT

Little Bill enters his house quietly, turns on a small light to help guide

him down a hallway.

walks to the door, hesitates, then opens --

CUT TO:

8 INT. LITTLE BILL'S BEDROOM - NIGHT - THAT MOMENT

LITTLE BILL'S WIFE and a BIG STUD are doing it on the bed. They stop a

moment and casually look at him.

LITTLE BILL:

I've got a cock in my p*ssy, you idiot.
