She gets on a treadmill and cranks it up. Walking a few
moments before she's jogging, before she's running. No
easy pace here. Liza gets grim, cranks up the speed and
goes hard. She's punishing herself.
JERRY:
His voice trails off as he watches. Sad, he lowers the
binoculars, doesn't want to watch her do this. Throwing
the CAR in GEAR, he takes a last look and drives away.
A classic corner newsstand except that a river runs down
the street and over the curb. Newspaper stacks usually
on the sidewalk are up on milk crates. The owner, FLIP
TANNER, cruises the sidewalk in a battered wheelchair.
All sinew and tendons, Flip is black, about 50. He looks
to Jerry's cab plowing twin fountains as it approaches.
Flip heaves a stack of newspapers and magazines into his
lap. he rolls to meet Jerry at the curb, hands him the
stack through the window. Jerry looks down at the water.
FLIP:
Water main. Broke all the way
over on 40th Street and Seventh.
Subway's a damn river.
Jerry stares back over his shoulder at water gushing out
a manhole cover. Flip watches him, smiles.
FLIP:
What're you thinking, Jerry?
JERRY:
winter. It's August 1st.
FLIP:
Tell you what. Reminds me of life
in the Delta.
JERRY:
Mississippi?
FLIP:
Mekong, my friend, Mekong.
JERRY:
You know, Flip, Vietnam War was
fought because of a bet Howard
Hughes lost to Aristotle Onasis.
FLIP:
Sure. And the two of 'em used my
legs for a wishbone. Nearly
snapped me in half.
JERRY:
I gotta go, Flip. Thanks.
As Jerry drives away, Flip smiles, shakes his head.
EXT. VILLAGE BROWNSTONE - ROOFTOP - NIGHT
Carrying his magazines and newspapers, Jerry climbs onto
the roof from the fire escape. He deadpans a look back
and forth. All seems clear. Jerry starts across. COOS
as Jerry passes a PIGEON coop. He steps back, opens the
door.
