INT. LOFT APARTMENT - MANHATTAN - MORNING
STEVEN SCHWIMMER, a drama critic, asleep on his bed. He
wears a sleep mask.
The bed is a mattress on a makeshift platform.
Papers strewn on the floor.
An exercise bike.
A desk with and old manual typewriter, reference works,
periodicals, Styrofoam cups.
A cast-off sofa with pants, shirts, sweater, underwear and
socks tossed haphazardly on the cushions and arms.
A counter that sets apart the kitchen area. A portable TV set
on the counter. The remains of dinner for one.
A row of stacked cardboard boxes with mail spilling out on
the floor. Boxes are labeled in crayon: HATE MAIL.
A coffee table with a candle nub in a saucer and six gleaming
rounds of ammunition scattered next to a Llama Comanche .357
Magnum with a checkered walnut stock -- overall length, nine
and a quarter inches.
A Port-O-San toilet, about seven feet high, orange, scarred
and dented -- scavenged from a construction site.
A snapshot on the bedside table. It's a blurry picture of
Steven holding a cat. Steven wears a peaked cap, and a shadow
falls across his face. Next to the picture is a clock radio,
which comes on with a buzz as the clock shows nine AM.
RADIO ANNOUNCER begins to speak --
LONE EAGLE (V.O.)
(softly)
Traffic flowing smoothly on the
Deegan right now but if you're
lucky enough to have a ticket for
tonight's game, be sure to leave
early because it's going to be
bumper to bumper.
Steven does not stir.
EXT. LOFT BUILDING2
Steven's loft is in an old squat building on 47th Street near
Twelfth Avenue. The structure looks abandoned. Graffiti
everywhere. Entranceway filled with debris.
LONE EAGLE (V.O.)
Another day of traffic. Traffic
everywhere I look. Cars stop and
move and stop again. People sit at
the wheel thinking their thoughts.
EXT. UNITED NATIONS PLAZA APTS - - MORNING
The shimmering glass facade of the United Nations Plaza
Apartments at 48th Street and First Avenue. A man visible at
a window on one of the high floors, a cup of coffee in his
hand.
LONE EAGLE (V.O.)
Day in, day out. Red light, green
light. Traffic on the major
arteries and traffic in the little
veins.
From his POV we see the traffic below creeping along, nearly
at a standstill.
LONE EAGLE (V.O.)
Cars, vans, taxis, trucks, limos,
Mopeds, bikes and buses. Emergency
vehicles screaming and wailing.
Birth and death, walk and don't
walk.
The man takes a sip of coffee.
LONE EAGLE (V.O.)
Traffic yesterday, today and
tomorrow. Bumper to bumper, soul to
soul. This is Lone Eagle over and
out.
EXT. 47TH STREET AND FIRST AVENUE - A LITTLE LATER
The same man -- the playwright Nicky Rogan with his hand in
the air, hailing a cab. He is forty-five, vigorous, wearing
well-made sporty clothes.
OCTOBER 25, 1986
