LYNN:

Everybody does?

MS. JONES

Yep. And you can listen to it without

anybody else listening. Let's try it

out.

She puts some ear phones on her. She holds up the plug-in

end.

MS. JONES

This is what they call the jack. Hi,

Jack!

LYNN:

Laughs.

MS. JONES

It goes in that little hole.

LYNN:

Let me do it.

She plugs the jack in. MS. JONES turns on the radio. LYNN

gets a big smile on her face.

LYNN:

(loudly)

It's loud!

She goes to work, playing with the radio, changing stations,

etc., oblivious to all else.

MS JONES:

Removes a Pro Label Machine from

under the seat. She begins to type

in several characters.

MR. SMITH

Let's get down to business.

GENE:

Who are you? You're not the police.

MS. JONES

Brilliant.

MS JONES presses PRINT on the Labeller. A strip of plastic

emerges that she begins to apply to a Name Tag. He looks

back to her. MR. SMITH whacks him on the knee with the gun.

It hurts.

MR. SMITH

Pay attention, Mr. Watson. Pay

attention and your daughter won't be

hurt.

GENE:

You wouldn't...

MS. JONES

Try us.

He looks back. She is caressing LYNN's hair.

GENE:

Get your hands off her.

He makes a move. MR. SMITH whacks his knee again, harder.

MR. SMITH

Mr. Watson, you're not paying

attention. Your daughter's life

depends on you. Do you understand

that?
