JACK: I think that went pretty well don't you?

KAYLA: I did everything you wanted Jack.

JACK: Hmmm. I feel a favor coming on.

KAYLA: Look you keep hinting that you know where Steve is.

JACK: Maybe I do and maybe I don't.

KAYLA: If you've got him somewhere, please let me see him.

JACK: Kayla, sweetheart! Can I have a cup of coffee?

KAYLA: Jack! Look, I just want to see him for a while, please? It'll make me feel better.

JACK: (Indecisive at first.)....No, I can't.

KAYLA: Why not? What in the world difference does it make to you?

JACK: Because maybe I don't feel like granting any favors right now. But that is unless you're ready to reciprocate....

KAYLA: You disgust me.

JACK: Suit yourself.

KAYLA: Get your feet off my couch!

 

KAYLA GRABS HER COAT AND OPENS THE DOOR. THE BODYGUARD IS THERE SO SHE GOES UP TO THE ROOF.

 

JACK: Suit yourself.

MELISSA: Listen I have to see you. Tonight. It's important.

JACK: Look....er....couldn't you just tell me over the phone?

MELISSA: No, look I have to see you.

JACK: I just can't pick up and go....

MELISSA: Jack please? It's very important. You can believe me.

JACK: Well alright, we'll get together first thing in the morning. We'll talk and....

MELISSA: No, no, this can't wait until morning. I have to see you tonight.

JACK: Well could you tell me what's so urgent?

MELISSA: Look I'm at the pier. I'll wait for you.

JACK: Well just give me an idea.

MELISSA: Jack I swear to you this is very important. I can't talk to you about it over the phone.

JACK: If he doesn't want you then I do. Come with me! Stay.

STEVE: You've got to go inside now Kayla. You let her go!

JACK: No, no. My wife doesn't take orders from anyone but me, HER HUSBAND.

KAYLA: Jack....

STEVE: YOU'RE NOT HER HUSBAND. YOU'RE A FILTHY PIG. YOU RAPED HER.

JACK: I DIDN'T RAPE ANYBODY. I MADE LOVE TO HER AND IT WAS WONDERFUL. I LOVED IT AND I ONLY WISH WE'D DONE IT SOONER.
