ACT I
SCENE 1
YOU CAN SEE THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE, SUNRISE BEHIND THE
BAY.
THEN AN EXTERNAL SHOT OF AN APARTMENT BUILDING SOUTH OF
MARKET STREET. THERE IS A SHOT OF A WINDOW OF THE ROOM.
IT IS
FURNISHED SIMPLY.
AS WE PAN ACROSS THE ROOM WE SEE A MAN AND A WOMAN ASLEEP
AND
PARTIALLY NAKED. THE ALARM CLOCK RINGS. THE MAN REACHES
TO
THE CLOCK AND TURNS IT OFF. HE SLEEPILY AROUSES AND PUTS
ON
HIS SHORTS AND WALKS SLOWLY TO THE BATHROOM. HE CLOSES
THE
DOOR. PAN BACK TO THE WOMAN WAKING UP. THE MAN COMES OUT
OF
THE BATHROOM AND SMILES TENDERLY AT HER.

LISA
Well at least I don't have a promotion to think about.
JOHNNY
You have too much competition in the computer field.

I can handle it. You worry about yourself.
