JAKE, wearing slacks and a sportshirt, hangs out

with the "BOYS" near the bar area. Older, "MADE"

MEN play cards. A young FAN walks by and says:

FAN:

Hey, Jake.

At the opposite end of the pool where the GIRLS

gossip, and sunbathe, JOEY swaps small talk with

VICKIE, a school girl, about 15. VICKIE is a

knockout.

SALVY, FRANKIE and JUNIOR are with VICKIE and her

FRIENDS. They joke with JOEY.

JAKE watches SALVY and VICKIE.

JAKE'S P.O.V.:
JOEY is talking (PAN) to VICKIE.

VICKIE giggles. JOEY stands and walks over to JAKE.

JAKE:

(referring to Vickie)

Who's that?

JOEY:

Whadda you care?

JAKE:

Whadda ya mean, whadda I care? Who

is she? What's a matter? You afraid

I'm gonna take her on you?

JOEY:

No, I'm not afraid. Why? You wanna

meet her?

JAKE:

Yeah --

JOEY:

Cause I'll go right over there and

bring her here.

JAKE:

Go 'head.

JOEY:

You sure you wanna meet her? Don't

make me go over there, you change

your mind and you make me look bad,

cause she's really a knockout.

She's 15, this kid -- a great piece

of ass.

JAKE:

How do you know? You know her that

good?

JOEY:

No, I see her around the pool. I

know her. I know her like that --

not like that.

JAKE:

(gesturing to his bandage)

Nah, not now... I wanna wait. I

don't feel right...

JAKE watches VICKIE.

NIGHT:

JOEY:

(to Jake)

I'm tellin' you, she'll be there, I

know she'll be there.

JAKE:

'Cause I wanna catch her alone.

JOEY:

How you gonna catch anybody alone

at a dance?... I don't know if

she'll be there alone... She'll

probably be there with her

girlfriends or something.

JAKE:

She ever go with them? Like Salvy?

JOEY:

Nah, she don't go with nobody.

She's only 15 years old.

JAKE:

What does that have to do with it?

She don't look 15 to me. I heard

somethin' with Salvy.

She was with him once or somethin',

I think. It was like some blonde.

That's the one...

JOEY:

Probably. You know she talks to

everybody, and not just him.

JAKE:

Yeah, she's nice.

JOEY:

Ah, some piece of ass, I'm tellin'

you.

JAKE:

You wasn't with her, were you?

JOEY:

Huh?

JAKE:

You wasn't with her?

JOEY:

With her? How?

JAKE:

You know, like bang her or

anything?

JOEY:

Ah, no, no. I didn't bang her. I

know her from around here, that's

all. You want to meet her or what?

JAKE:

Nah, not now -- all those hard-ons

around. I'll wait. Not now.

The scene ends on VICKIE as JAKE watches her.

(to Jake)

I'm tellin' you, she'll be there, I

around. That's all I know.
