			_ACT ONE_


FADE IN

EXTERIOR BAR - HANGCHOW, CHINA - NIGHT

Emerging from the bar is a burly Japanese, Mister Yamamoto.  He is 
accompanied by a small, bespectacled Japanese man who is somewhat 
tense as Yamamoto, with a big smile, shakes his hand heartily and exits.  
Immediately, Yamamoto's two bodyguards fall in around him and they 
walk away, toward the waterfront.

JAPANESE MAN

Watching Yamamoto leave, still nervous as he takes darting looks around 
and then moves off quickly in the opposite direction.

ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE BAR

Picking up two men who, for the sake of description, are referred to as 
agents.  They look like Japanese versions of gangsters out of a 30s film 
with their snap brim hats and pin striped suits.  One of them nods in the 
direction of the bespectacled man.  They follow him.

JAPANESE MAN

As he reaches a corner, the two agents seize him.  The man's cries are to no 
avail as the agents search him roughly.

AGENT

Pulling a wad of Japanese yen out of the man's inside coat pocket.

			AGENT
		(in Japanese)
	Who gave you this much money?

			JAPANESE MAN
		(in Japanese)
	No one!  It's mine!

			AGENT
		(holds knife to his throat)
	You will talk now.

			JAPANESE MAN
		(hangs head defeatedly)
	Yamamoto.

			AGENT
	Traitor!
		(he moves the knife closer)

THE OTHER AGENT

Off camera hears an anguished groan and the sound of the Japanese man's 
body falling to the street.

The two agents rush to a car parked across the street.

EXTERIOR - HANGCHOW WHARF - NIGHT

Yamamoto, flanked by his bodyguards, as they board Yamamoto's boat.  
As soon as they board, the motors can be heard turning over.

THE JAPANESE CAR

Turning a corner, screeching to a stop at the wharf.

YAMAMOTO'S BOAT

As it moves away from the wharf at an accelerated speed.

THE AGENTS

Getting out of the car.  Too late, as they watch...

YAMAMOTO'S BOAT

At a distance now from the land, at full throttle.

INTERIOR MONKEY BAR - NIGHT

Establishing the activity, and picking up Gushie as he wheels through the 
bar with a tray of drinks heading for a private room.

INTERIOR PRIVATE ROOM, MONKEY BAR - NIGHT

Gushie enters and serves the drinks to the poker players there: Corky, 
Sarah, Louie, Jake, and an absolutely stunning girl -- Sabrina, resplendent 
in a dazzling dress, shuffling the cards at the speed of light.

			JAKE'S VOICE
	Sabrina was her name and poker was her game.  She had come in 
	on the Clipper, on her way to Tagataya, she said, to compete 
	against some of the higher rollers in this part of the world....

All eyes on the cards, on what she can do with them.  Each player has an 
equal stack of chips in front of them.

			JAKE'S VOICE
	Now I have never met a girl I couldn't bluff in poker.  I let her 
	know I was willing to arrange a small stakes game during her 
	stopover in Boragora.  Sabrina was more than willing to oblige.

			JAKE
	That looks almost illegal.

			SABRINA
	I never cheat -- not unless someone else does it first.
		(extends deck)
	Cut.

Sarah cuts the cards.  Sabrina deals, _rapidly_.

JAKE'S HAND

He picks up his cards -- has three of a kind, queens.

			JAKE
	I'll open for a dollar.

Everyone calls.

SABRINA'S HAND

Four hearts and a spade.  She discards the spade, will draw one.

FULL - THE GAME

			SABRINA
	Cards?

			SARAH
	Three.

She deals.

			CORKY
	Two.

She deals.

			LOUIE
	One.

She deals.

			SABRINA
	Jake?

			JAKE
	I'll play these.

			SABRINA
	One card for the dealer.

She takes the card, doesn't look at it.

			JAKE
	I'll bet three dollars.

They all fold except Sabrina.

			SABRINA
	Raise you three.

			JAKE
	You haven't looked at your draw.

			SABRINA
		(smiles)
	Your bet.

			JAKE
	I'll raise again.

			SABRINA
	Call.  What do you have?

			JAKE
	Three ladies.

Sabrina turns her cards over one at a time.  The fifth card, the one that she 
drew, is also a heart.

			SABRINA
	I filled the flush.

She rakes in the pot.

DISSOLVE TO

JAKE'S CHIPS

His stack has diminished to one last chip.  He places it in the pot.

FULL - THE GAME

			JAKE
	Call.

We notice that the only stack of chips is in front of Sabrina.

			SABRINA
	Pair of kings.

Jake throws in his cards.

			JAKE
	You made a believer out of me.

			SARAH
	Out of all of us, I'm afraid.

The game is over.

			SABRINA
	Since this was a social game -- dinner's on me.

			LOUIE
	I will see what the cook can do.

Jack barks "yes."

			CORKY
	Jack wants to eat too.

			SABRINA
	He is also invited.

			CORKY
	C'mon, Jack, let's go wash our hands.

Corky and Jack exit.

			SABRINA
		(noticing the jacket)
	Flying Tiger.  That's impressive.  I come from a long line of 
	flyers.

			JAKE
	You do?

			SABRINA
	My daddy was just a pup in the war when he ran off and joined 
	the Lafayette Espadrille.

			JAKE
	They were the best -- fly those Spads under bridges if they had 
	to...to knock the Germans out.  Probably be happening again 
	soon.

			SABRINA
	Let's hope not.  Life is too short to include wars, don't you think?

			JAKE
	I certainly do.

			SARAH
		(sensing a rival)
	You'll hardly have time to eat, Sabrina.  The Clipper leaves 
	shortly.

			SABRINA
		(looks at Jake)
	If I could rent your plane in the morning, I wouldn't have to leave 
	on the Clipper tonight.

			JAKE
	That's no problem, I'm making a run there tomorrow.

			SABRINA
	I had something more in mind -- say a charter for a couple of 
	days.

			JAKE
	Other passengers are already booked for tomorrow.

			SABRINA
	Oh, that's alright.  As long as I can count on you to stay with me 
	there and get me back here safely to the Clipper when it returns.

			JAKE
	Safely?  You expect some kind of trouble, Sabrina?

			SABRINA
	In my profession, I always expect trouble.  I should be carrying a 
	considerable amount of money when I leave Tagataya.

			JAKE
	Well, I guess I could accommodate you.

Sarah's eyes roll.

			SARAH
	Excuse me.

As she leaves, Sabrina smiles graciously.  Jake hardly notices.  Alone for 
the first time, Jake is taken with her.

			JAKE
	You're amazing.  You won fourteen of sixteen hands -- and you 
	folded on the other two.  Sure you didn't cheat?

			SABRINA
	No, the way people bet usually tells you what they have.  And 
	tonight I was lucky.
		(knocks on wood)
	Here's hoping it holds for tomorrow's game.

			JAKE
	How's a girl like you become a poker player?

			SABRINA
	When my father died I had to do something.  He taught me two 
	things...how to fly and how to play poker.  Not much call for 
	female flyers.

			JAKE
	How big a game do you play?

			SABRINA
	In Tagataya it takes twenty thousand to get in.

Jake is impressed.

			JAKE
	That's four times what the Goose cost me -- and you could lose it 
	in one night.

			SABRINA
	Or win four times as much.  You can see why I could use an 
	escort.

			JAKE
	Never heard of a game that big.  I'd just like to be there to see it.

			SABRINA
	You will be.
		(rises)
	Don't go away.  I'll be right back.

Hold on Jake watching with pleasure as she goes.

AT THE ENTRANCE

Sarah, not in a good mood, is about to exit as Louie approaches her.

			LOUIE
	Sarah, where are you going?  It's time for a song.

			SARAH
	I don't feel like singing, Louie.

			LOUIE
	But you lost only eight dollars in that game.  It's not the end of the 
	world.

			SARAH
	It's not the money, Louie.

			LOUIE
	Ah, Sabrina.  Pardon.  I should have known.

			SARAH
	I don't like her, Louie.

			LOUIE
	You just met her.

			SARAH
	I form quick impressions.  I'll bet her father wasn't even a flyer.  
	She's pulling out all the stops to make Jake go ga-ga over her.

			LOUIE
	You surprise me, Sarah.

			SARAH
	That's a good sign.  Maybe I'll start surprising other people 
	around here.

Sarah turns to exit.

			LOUIE
	Sarah, please, a song?

Sarah reconsiders with a tight smile.

			LOUIE
	Remember, it is a moment like this when a chanteuse sings with 
	feeling extraordinaire.

			SARAH
	Stop while you're ahead, Louie.

Louie shrugs, accompanies her to the piano.

AT THE BAR - NIGHT

Passengers at the bar watch as the stunning Sabrina emerges from the 
ladies room and walks by the bar.  Among them is Tex Henderson, loud, 
brass, something of a buffoon, the original Ugly American.

			HENDERSON
	Pardon me, cutie, let ole Tex buy you a drink 'fore we get back on 
	the Clipper.

He pulls at her.

			SABRINA
	I'm a big girl, Tex, you don't have to manhandle me.

			HENDERSON
	Now that's no way to act, cutie -- down my neck of the woods, 
	Galveston, U.S.A. Texas women are saved for the good things of 
	life and that don't include walkin' through bars on faraway 
	islands.

			SABRINA
	Is that a fact?  And just what are the good things in life?

			HENDERSON
		(with a leer)
	I'll give you a hint -- they take place in three rooms, the kitchen, 
	the living room and the good ole boudoir.  Enough said?

			SABRINA
	Your message comes through loud and clear, Tex -- but I'm what 
	you call a modern woman.

She continues by the bar.  Tex is off his stool and in hot pursuit.

			HENDERSON
	Hold on now.  I got nothing against modern women -- especially 
	away from home.  But you listen to the truth, Ruth -- even a 
	modern woman needs a man -- _especially_ away from home.

			SABRINA
		(amused)
	And you fill that bill, huh, Tex?

			HENDERSON
	Now you're really getting the message, cutie.  Just name the time, 
	place and amount.

			SABRINA
		(still good humored)
	I'll keep you in mind, Tex.

She continues by the bar.

			HENDERSON
	Hey!  You got a name to go along with those gorgeous gams?

			SABRINA
		(putting him on)
	Why, of course.  But I'm getting used to cutie.  See you around, 
	hot stuff.

Henderson just stands there looking at her as she disappears into the 
private room.

INTERIOR MONKEY BAR, PRIVATE ROOM - NIGHT

One of Louie's servants is preparing the table for dinner as Sabrina rejoins 
Jake.  We hear Sarah begin to sing in the bar.

			SABRINA
	Pretty song she's singing.  Your girlfriend?

Jake hems and haws, then:

			JAKE
	No.

			SABRINA
	How does a Tiger end up flying charter in such a remote place?

			JAKE
	When you tire of seeing people kill one another.

A pause.  Sarah's song comes in more strongly.  Sabrina smiles softly at 
Jake.

			SABRINA
	My dad felt the same way.  Care to dance, Jake?

			JAKE
	Why -- sure.

They get up and dance slowly to the music.  Their eyes locked on one 
another.

			SABRINA
	Hope you don't think I'm being too forward but -- my father, like 
	all pilots, was a very romantic man.  Sometimes, I miss him 
	terribly.

			JAKE
	I don't see what's forward about that, Sabrina.

			SABRINA
	It's just that -- you remind me of my father.

She smiles shyly.  They continue to dance.

EXTERIOR TAGATAYA DOCK - DAY

Establishing, as the Goose comes in for a landing.

DISSOLVE TO

INTERIOR PRINCESS KOJI'S CASINO - NIGHT

A very posh establishment with the clientele an elegant contrast to the 
Monkey Bar patrons.  Tex Henderson is at the bar downing a shot of 
whiskey.

POKER TABLE

Neatly stacked chips are placed in front of the five seats.  But only two 
players are there at the moment -- Mister Yamamoto sipping saki and a 
monocled German, Count Von Schloffen, tapping his fingers impatiently.  
The two men do not speak.  People are gathered nearby waiting for the 
game to commence.  Among them, one of Yamamoto's bodyguards, and 
the ever smiling Todo occupied with placing a roped velvet partition 
around the playing area, pushing the onlookers back beyond the roped 
enclosure.

INTERIOR KOJI'S CASINO, AT THE ENTRANCE - NIGHT

Jake, Sabrina, Corky and Jack enter.

			CORKY
	This is too rich for my blood, Jake.  I'll just go down to the wharf 
	and visit with some pals.  Come on, Jack, this is no place for a 
	dog either.

Jack barks "no."

			JAKE
	Don't call him a dog, Corky.  You know he doesn't like that.

Sabrina smiles.

			CORKY
	Yeah, right.  Come on, Jack.
		(starts to leave)
	Good luck, Sabrina.

			SABRINA
	Thanks, Corky.

Corky exits.  Jake and Sabrina continue into the casino.

PRINCESS KOJI
Seeing Jake, approaching him, her rapacious smile in place.

			KOJI
	Jake Cutter -- what a delicious surprise.  I'll see to it I'm available 
	tonight.

Sabrina steps forward.  Koji gives her an icy stare.

			KOJI
	Sorry.  Unescorted women are not permitted in the casino.

			JAKE
	She's not unescorted.

Koji reacts as:

			SABRINA
	You're Princess Koji?

			KOJI
	I am.

			SABRINA
	Sabrina Doppler.

			KOJI
	Sabrina -- yes, you're expected.  Unfortunately, we're still one 
	player short.

Tex Henderson comes barreling in from the bar.

			HENDERSON
	Hello there, cutie -- you show up just about every place I do -- 
	must be destiny....
		(takes her by the arm)
	Come on, I'll buy you a drink.

			SABRINA
	No thanks, Tex, I have more important things to do.

			HENDERSON
	Now what could be more important than spending time with one 
	of the ten richest men in Texas.
			(pulls at her)
	Pull up a stool and try being social.

Sabrina pulls away.

			HENDERSON
		(laughs)
	Nothing I like better than feisty women.
		(grabs her again)
	Come on now.

Jake steps in.

			JAKE
	You heard the lady.

			HENDERSON
	Butt out, pardner.

			KOJI
	Todo!

Todo appears on the run.

			KOJI
		(to Henderson)
	You will leave the premises immediately or Todo here will begin 
	removing your fingernails one by one.

Todo has Henderson in his grasp.

			HENDERSON
	Wait a minute here -- I'm just lookin' for some socializin'.

			SABRINA
	Can we get started with the game?

			KOJI
	The Russian, Prince Igor, has been unavoidably detained in 
	Tokyo.

			HENDERSON
		(to Sabrina)
	_You_ a poker playin' lady.  Well, how about that!
		(to Koji)
	Ole Tex's been known to play a hand now and then -- if it's a fifth 
	player you need.

			KOJI
		(disdainful)
	A minimum of twenty thousand dollars in cash is required.

			HENDERSON
	Shoot, I got more'n that in my hip pocket.

Henderson pulls out a wad of bills, fans them out for all to see as:

			HENDERSON
	How's them apples?

Both Koji and Sabrina know a 'mark' when they see one.  Koji is charm 
personified as:

			KOJI
	Have a seat, Mister...?

			HENDERSON
	Henderson.  Just call me Tex.

THE POKER TABLE

With Jake, among the others, standing behind the roped off area.  The 
players each check their chips and hand Koji twenty thousand dollars.  A 
total of eighty thousand that she stacks neatly and hands to Todo, who 
places it in a strong box.

			KOJI
	In the safe, Todo.
		(Todo exits with the money)
	Your deal, Mister Yamamoto.

Yamamoto grunts, holds out the cards for Sabrina to cut -- and deals.

YAMAMOTO'S HAND

He has picked up a pair of jacks.

HENDERSON'S HAND

Five different cards leading nowhere.

JAKE

From where he stands, he can see Henderson's lousy hand.

SABRINA'S HAND

An ace and four cards of no consequence.

			KOJI
		(looks at her cards)
	Jacks or better to open.

			YAMAMOTO
	Open.  Five thousand.

Jake and other reacting.  This is, indeed, high stakes poker.

			HENDERSON
	I'll push that another five grand.

REACTION - JAKE

Incredulous.  Henderson's betting ten thousand on nothing.

			JAKE'S VOICE
	The Texan played poker about as well as my Aunt Em.  Maybe 
	his brains were fried from too much booze.  Whatever the reason, 
	if I could've gotten him on a slow boat to China, I could've retired 
	and lived like a king.

The Count and Koji throw in their cards.

			SABRINA
	Call.

			YAMAMOTO
	Cards?

			HENDERSON
	One little ole card should do it.

			SABRINA
	Four, please.

Yamamoto deals her four cards.

			YAMAMOTO
	Dealer takes three.

HENDERSON'S HAND

Just as bad as before.

YAMAMOTO'S HAND

He has drawn a third jack.

			YAMAMOTO
	Five thousand.

			HENDERSON
	I'll call that.

ON JAKE

He can't believe what Henderson is doing.

			SABRINA
	Call.

Yamamoto spreads his hand, revealing the three jacks.  Henderson throws 
in his hand in disgust.

			HENDERSON
	Beats me.

Sabrina lays down her hand.  Three aces.  She rakes in the pot much to 
Yamamoto's dismay.

DISSOLVE TO

THE POKER GAME - MORNING

Empty glasses and filled ash trays tell us the game has been going on for 
some time now.  Yamamoto is nervously counting out more money to Koji 
in exchange for chips.  All the players' stacks have been decimated with 
the exception of Sabrina.  Her stack is impressively high and she is in 
excellent spirits.

Koji begins to deal.

			SABRINA
	Jake -- will you play a few hands for me?

			JAKE
	But, Sabrina, I'm just a....

Sabrina rises.

			SABRINA
	Don't worry about it -- I'm way ahead.
		(to players)
	Excuse me, I have to powder my nose.

Jake sits in as Sabrina exits.

JAKE'S HAND

As he picks it up -- a straight!  He pulls out a cigar and lights up as:

			YAMAMOTO
	Five thousand.

			HENDERSON
	Call.

			JAKE
	I'll see that.

INTERIOR HOTEL CORRIDOR - DAY

Sabrina moves along the corridor, stops in front of room 118, looks up and 
down the corridor, sees that it is safe.  She pulls a thin wire from inside her 
purse, inserts it into the lock and enters the room.

INTERIOR CORRIDOR, OTHER END - DAY

Appearing from around the corner and having seen Sabrina enter the room 
is -- Yamamoto's second bodyguard.

					FADE OUT

			_END OF ACT ONE_


			_ACT TWO_

FADE IN

INTERIOR KOJI'S CASINO - DAY

At the poker table.  Jake has accumulated more chips and is having a ball 
as:

			JAKE
	Raise five thousand.

The wooden expressions of the other players, including Henderson, are in 
contrast to Jake.

			YAMAMOTO
	I will see the raise.

Yamamoto is out of chips.  He writes 5,000 on a slip of paper and tosses it 
into the pot.

			KOJI
	You accept his marker?

			JAKE
	I've already accepted four of them -- one more won't hurt.

Sabrina returns as:

			SABRINA
	You look like you're doing just great, Jake.

			JAKE
	I might just change careers.
		(spreads cards)
	Full house.

Yamamoto tosses his cards into the pile.  Jake rises, proud of himself, as 
Sabrina re-takes her seat.

BODYGUARDS

As the second bodyguard joins the first one, whispers something to him.  
The first bodyguard turns and gets Yamamoto's attention.  Yamamoto 
rises, goes outside the roped off area and joins his two men.  We cannot 
hear what they say.

AT THE POKER TABLE

Sabrina smiles as Koji starts to deal.  Yamamoto returns.

			YAMAMOTO
	Excuse me, but I have lost enough.  The lady and her friend are 
	better players.  I know when to quit.

			HENDERSON
	Think I'll throw in the sponge myself.

			KOJI
	The game is over, gentlemen.  Todo!  Bring the money.

Todo exits.

			YAMAMOTO
		(very cordial)
	If you will accompany me to my room, Sabrina, I will reclaim 
	those markers.

			SABRINA
	It can wait, Mr. Yamamoto.

			YAMAMOTO
	I insist.  I have the money in my room and I must be leaving.

			SABRINA
	Alright then.  Jake?

She takes Jake by the arm as they begin to follow Yamamoto.  Todo 
returns with the money in a strong box.

			JAKE
		(to Sabrina indicating box)
	Don't forget your money.

			SABRINA
	You'll hold it for me, Princess, til I return?

			KOJI
	Gladly.

Yamamoto and his bodyguards wait, then lead the way as Jake and Sabrina 
follow.

			JAKE
		(sotto)
	You should get your money from her now.

			SABRINA
	I'm not sure I trust these men.  It'll be safer with her.

			JAKE
	You don't know Princess Koji.

			SABRINA
	Oh?

			JAKE
	Leaving her with that kind of cash -- you might as well turn a 
	tiger loose in a chop house.

			SABRINA
		(smiles)
	I'll take my chances.

Over their exit:

			JAKE'S VOICE
	Chalk this up as Sabrina's first mistake.  Nothing I could do about 
	it.  I was just a hired hand, so to speak.

AT THE POKER TABLE

Koji counts the remaining chips belonging to Count Von Schloffen.

			KOJI
	You've lost sixteen thousand, Count...
		(spreads out four thousand)
	plus a ten percent fee to the casino, leaving you two thousand.

She takes back half the pile and returns it to the box.

INTERIOR YAMAMOTO'S ROOM - DAY

As they enter.  As soon as they are in, one of the bodyguards locks the 
door.

REACTION - JAKE AND SABRINA

And a further reaction as:

FULL SHOT

The second bodyguard takes out a gun.

			YAMAMOTO
	The film please.

Jake is confused, and so, it seems, is Sabrina.

			SABRINA
	I don't think I understand.


			YAMAMOTO
	Don't waste any time.
		(indicating bodyguard)
	He saw you come in here and he checked -- the film is gone.

			SABRINA
	You must be mistaken.

			YAMAMOTO
	Search her.

			JAKE
	Now wait a minute.  She said she wasn't...

The gun is placed at Jake's head while the other bodyguard grabs Sabrina's 
purse, pours out the contents on a table, and examines every item 
_thoroughly_ as:

			SABRINA
	What are you doing to my things?

			YAMAMOTO
	Nothing compared to what I will do to you if you do not return 
	that film.

			SABRINA
	I don't know what you're talking about.  My room is two doors 
	down -- that's the room he saw me enter, not this one.

The bodyguard scans the inside of the now empty purse, looks up at 
Yamamoto.

			BODYGUARD
		(in Japanese)
	It is not here.

			YAMAMOTO
	Remove her dress.

One of the bodyguards approaches.

			SABRINA
	You stay away from me, you hear!

Jake tries to stop the man, is punched in the stomach for his effort.  He 
bends over, gasping for breath as:

			YAMAMOTO
		(to Sabrina)
	You may remove the dress in the bathroom if you desire -- but 
	make no mistake about it -- you will be searched.

Sabrina realizes that she has no choice.  She enters the bathroom.

			YAMAMOTO
	Check out her room.

One of the bodyguards nods and exits.  Yamamoto enters the bathroom.

			JAKE
		(still out of breath)
	I don't know what you guys are up to, but you're making a big 
	mistake.

In response the bodyguard smiles and then hurls Jake onto a chair.

INTERIOR WATERFRONT BAR - DAY

Picking up Corky with a group of friends.  Corky downs a beer as Jack 
barks "no."

			CORKY
	You're right, Jack.  I'm over my limit.  See you guys -- gotta go 
	check in on Jake and his dream girl.

Jack barks "yes."

			CORKY
	I heard you the first time, Jack.  Come on.

Corky and Jack exit the bar.

			CORKY
	You're a real party poop, you know that, Jack?

Jack again barks "yes."

INTERIOR YAMAMOTO'S ROOM - DAY

Yamamoto emerges from the bathroom, sits down on the edge of his bed, 
obviously unnerved as he holds his head in his hands.

			YAMAMOTO
	She doesn't have it.

			JAKE'S VOICE
	I was totally in the dark but one thing I knew for sure...the 
	previously calm Mr. Yamamoto was showing signs of falling 
	apart at the seams.

Sabrina comes out of the bathroom, straightening her floor-length dress.

			SABRINA
	Like I said, Mr. Yamamoto, your man is mistaken.

The second bodyguard returns from Sabrina's room, shakes his head.  
Yamamoto is growing desperate now.

			YAMAMOTO
	Search him.

			JAKE
	Me?  I don't have any...

The bodyguards stand him up roughly, empty out his pockets, ripping at 
them in fact as they shake him down thoroughly.  They find nothing.

			SABRINA
	Why don't you just give me the money you owe me and I'll 
	register no complaints about this with the authorities.

Yamamoto hesitates.  Could he be wrong?

			YAMAMOTO
	No.  You will both accompany me to my boat.  Take them.

Yamamoto exits first.

INTERIOR HOTEL CORRIDOR - DAY

Yamamoto leads the way with Sabrina and Jake being held firmly by each 
of the bodyguards, each of whose free hand is on a gun inside their 
pockets.

INTERIOR CASINO - DAY

Corky and Jack enter.  He looks around, doesn't see Jake, gets a lot of 
disapproving looks from the elegant customers.  Princess Koji walks up to 
him.

			KOJI
	I run a respectable establishment here, Corky.

			CORKY
	But Princess Koji, I'm respectable.

			KOJI
	You don't look respectable nor does the dog with the idiotic 
	patch.

Jack growls at her.

			KOJI
	Out.  Now.

			CORKY
	Okay.  Okay.  I'm just looking for Jake.

			KOJI
	If I see him, I'll tell him to look for you in the street.  Now go.

The Princess scares Corky a bit.  He and Jack are gone in a hurry.

EXTERIOR TAGATAYA STREET - DAY

Picking up Henderson walking along.  He stops, leans against a tree, looks 
around carefully for a moment -- then goes behind the tree.  His hand 
reaches into:

BACK OF TREE

A cut out section of the bark.  Henderson's hand sweeps inside the hole, 
comes out empty.

HENDERSON

Returning to the street, walking away.

INTERIOR HOTEL CORRIDOR - DAY

Picking up Henderson walking down the corridor.  He stops in front of 
Yamamoto's room, knocks.  There is no answer.  He tries the door knob.  It 
is unlocked.  He enters.

INTERIOR YAMAMOTO'S ROOM - DAY

Henderson enters and begins looking around.

EXTERIOR TAGATAYA DOCK - DAY

Angling on Yamamoto's boat as Yamamoto climbs aboard, followed by 
Jake and Sabrina held firmly by the bodyguards.

EXTERIOR YAMAMOTO'S BOAT - DAY

As the boat leaves the dock.

EXTERIOR PRINCESS KOJI'S CASINO - DAY

Corky is pacing up and down in front of the casino.  Jack is sitting near the 
entrance.

HENDERSON

Approaching from down the street, starts to enter, spots Corky.

			HENDERSON
	Don't I know you from some place, partner?

			CORKY
	Don't think so.  My name's Corky.

			HENDERSON
	Howdy.  Of course I know you.  Saw you in Boragora yesterday.  
	Don't you work on that Jake Cutter's plane?

			CORKY
	Yeah, I do.  You know Jake?

			HENDERSON
	We've met.  Fact is I played some poker with him today.  He and 
	that good looker he teamed up with -- they cleaned the house out.

			CORKY
	You mean Sabrina.

			HENDERSON
	Yep.  That's the filly's name.

			CORKY
	Did Jake play in that game too?

			HENDERSON
	He sure did -- filled in for the girl and won a pile.

			CORKY
	No wonder I can't find him.

			HENDERSON
	You haven't seen him since the game?

			CORKY
	Sure haven't.

			HENDERSON
	He and the girl left with that Yamamoto character.  What say we 
	team up and look for 'em together?

			CORKY
	You looking for Jake too?

			HENDERSON
	Well, not exactly.  It's Yamamoto I'm looking for.  Come on, 
	Corky.

They walk down the street together.  Jack growls.

			CORKY
	What're you growling about, Jack.  This is a real live Texan we 
	got here -- reminds me of Gandy Dancer.
		(smiles to Henderson)
	Jack usually likes Texans.

			HENDERSON
		(smiles tightly)
	Cute dog.

They start down the stairs with Jack following.

			HENDERSON
	Tell me about your friend Jake.

EXTERIOR WATER, YAMAMOTO'S BOAT - DAY

As one of the bodyguards drops anchor.

INTERIOR CABIN - DAY

Jake and Sabrina are in the cabin.  The splash of the anchor dropping can 
be heard.

			SABRINA
	Is that the anchor dropping?

			JAKE
	Either that or someone's overboard.  You want to tell me what's 
	going on?

			SABRINA
	What do you mean, Jake?

			JAKE
	Come on now.  We're up to our eyeballs in trouble -- it's about 
	time you clue me in, don't you think?

They react to a key being inserted into the door lock.  The door is opened 
by one of Yamamoto's bodyguards who remains outside as Yamamoto 
enters.

			YAMAMOTO
	I've given you both time to reflect.  Are you now ready to tell 
	where the film is?

			SABRINA
	Mister Yamamoto -- please -- you are mistaken.  Believe me!

			YAMAMOTO
	I will give you two hours.  If by then the location of the negative 
	is not revealed to me, I will begin removing your flesh one pound 
	at a time -- and I will continue to do so until your screams stop.

Yamamoto exits.  We hear the lock in the door being turned.

JAKE AND SABRINA

Sabrina starts pacing.

			SABRINA
	Oh, dear.

			JAKE
		(grimaces)
	A pound of flesh at a time.  You know, if we weren't in such a 
	predicament with this joker, I could get very angry with you.

			SABRINA
	Jake, I've told you -- I don't know what he's talking about.

			JAKE
	I'm not buying it, Sabrina.  You were gone a mighty long time 
	just to powder your nose.

			SABRINA
	Jake, trust me.

			JAKE
	Trust you?  I have.  Look where it's got me.

			SABRINA
	First things first.  We have to get off this boat because if we don't, 
	as sure as the sun will rise in the morning, Yamamoto's going to 
	kill us.

			JAKE
	Then for God's sake, give him what he wants!

			SABRINA
	I can't, Jake.
		(moves closer, takes his hand)
	Being a poker player is a convenient way to travel around the 
	world.

			JAKE
	Convenient?  For what?

			SABRINA
	Jake, I'm breaking all the rules telling you this but -- I'm a 
	government agent.

On Jake's reaction:

					FADE OUT


			_END OF ACT TWO_


			_ACT THREE_

FADE IN

INTERIOR CABIN - DAY

Sabrina is kneeling at the lock, trying to pick it open with a wire.  She's 
been at it a while.  She stops.

			SABRINA
	It just won't turn.

			JAKE
	Let me try it.

Jake takes the wire, tries picking the lock.

			SABRINA
	There must be another way out of here.

			JAKE
	I'm open to suggestions.

Jake stops working the wire.  It just won't work.  Sabrina, showing stress 
for the first time, point to:

THE PORT HOLE

			SABRINA'S VOICE
	What about the port hole?

BACK TO SABRINA AND JAKE

			JAKE
	We'd have to be thin as snakes to get through here.

			SABRINA
	Then we'll just have to break the door down.

			JAKE
	Those gorillas aren't deaf, Sabrina.  We wouldn't make it to the 
	deck.

			SABRINA
	Anything's better than sitting here waiting to die.

Jake has an idea.  He takes the fire extinguisher off the wall, holds it like a 
weapon as he moves to a position that will be behind the locked door as it 
opens.

			JAKE
	Tell 'em you're ready to talk.

Sabrina considers this.

			SABRINA
	Are you sure about this?

			JAKE
	Not exactly.
		(sticks a cheroot in his mouth)
	But it beats being on some shark's menu tonight.

Sabrina forces a strained smile.

			SABRINA
	Okay, here goes.

She moves closer to the door, knocks on it.

			BODYGUARD'S VOICE
		(in Japanese)
	What is it?

			SABRINA
		(fluent Japanese)
	Take me to Yamamoto's cabin.  I want to talk.

We hear a key being inserted into the lock.  Jake raises the fire 
extinguisher, ready to strike.  He motions to Sabrina to move back from 
the door.

The door opens.  The big, burly bodyguard enters.

BODYGUARD'S POINT OF VIEW - THE CABIN

Sabrina is standing the middle of the cabin; she smiles.

FULL SHOT - THE CABIN

As the bodyguard gets halfway in, reacts quickly as Jake pulls the door all 
the way open.

CLOSE

The bodyguard is able to raise a protective arm as the fire extinguisher 
comes slamming down on his elbow.  He winces in pain.  The fire 
extinguisher falls to the floor.

FAVORING JAKE AND BODYGUARD

At that moment Jake quickly closes the door, and as the bodyguard is 
recovering from his pain, Jack rams a hook into his mid-section.

CLOSE - JAKE

His reaction wide eyed as:

FULL

The bodyguard is smiling.  The blow has had no effect.  He lunges at Jake 
with both hands and hurls him against the cabin wall.

INTERIOR YAMAMOTO'S CABIN - DAY

Yamamoto and his other bodyguard huddled over a map, charting a 
course.  The bodyguard reacts to an off screen thudding sound, but 
Yamamoto is more interested in the charting.

			YAMAMOTO
		(in Japanese)
	We will need it if we are to relocate in Hong Kong.
		(pointing)
	I suggest we take this route.

The bodyguard's eyes follow the route, nods.

INTERIOR CABIN - DAY

Jake is barely able to get out of the way of the charging bodyguard.  But, 
finally there is no place left to hide.  He moves in for the kill.  Abruptly, 
Sabrina blocks his way, standing between Jake and the bodyguard who 
reaches her arm to pull her out of the way.  Then, a quick ju-jitsu move by 
Sabrina and the bodyguard is flipped to the floor.


REACTION - JAKE

Further surprised by Sabrina's skills.

The bodyguard rises quickly, knowing now that with the two of them, he is 
up against some serious opposition.  In that moment, the bodyguard is 
turned away from Sabrina.  She hits him dead center in the back of the 
neck with a karate chop.  As he starts to fall, Jake catches him so that he 
reaches the floor quietly.

			JAKE
	What took you so long?

			SABRINA
	Just waiting for the right opportunity.

			JAKE
	If you waited any longer you'd be carrying me out of here like a 
	sack of potatoes.

Jake opens the door, takes a cautious look outside, then sticks his head 
back inside the cabin.

			JAKE
	Let's go.

AT THE DOOR - JAKE AND SABRINA

As she joins him.

			JAKE
		(a whisper)
	Remind me never to pick a fight with you.

Jake leads the way as they exit.

EXTERIOR DECK - DAY

As Jake and Sabrina emerge from down below.  They make their way 
along the deck to where the long boat is secured.  He starts to remove it, 
reacts to:

BOAT LOCK

Securing the long boat.

BACK TO JAKE AND SABRINA

			JAKE
		(in whisper)
	It's locked.

He takes out a pen knife and starts to pick at the lock.

			SABRINA
	What good is the boat going to do us?  The two hours is nearly 
	up.  They'll return to our cabin, see that we're gone and catch us 
	before we can get anywhere near Tagataya.

			JAKE
	We're not going to Tagataya.

			SABRINA
	But, Jake, we're in the middle of the ocean.  We have to go 
	somewhere!

			JAKE
	There are at least a hundred and fifty atolls around here.  It'll be a 
	cold day in hell before they find out which one we're on.

Jake opens the lock, removes the boat's covering as:

			SABRINA
	My purse!

			JAKE
	Your purse?  My God, Sabrina, this is no time to....

			SABRINA
	Jake, I have to!  The film!

Sabrina darts back down the deck.  Jake busies himself lowering the boat.

EXTERIOR GOOSE - DAY

Tex Henderson is standing outside the Goose as Corky emerges, joins him.

			CORKY
	They're not here, Tex.

			HENDERSON
		(nods slowly, considering)
	Not here, not in the hotel rooms, not in the casino.  You know 
	how to fly this machine, Corky?

			CORKY
	Sure I do.

			HENDERSON
	Then let's give it a whirl.  'Cause I think your friend and the girl 
	are out there on the water somewhere, being entertained by Mister 
	Yamamoto.

			CORKY
	I don't think Jake's gonna like it -- me prying into his personal 
	life.

Henderson levels Corky with a serious expression.

			HENDERSON
	Corky, if I got this thing figured right, your friend Jake and that 
	Sabrina are in one big pack of trouble -- and we'd best find them.

			CORKY
	Trouble?  With who?

			HENDERSON
	Yamamoto.  Let's get that Goose airborne and find the boat.

EXTERIOR ATOLL - DAY

Jake hides the boat as much as possible while Sabrina swims the short 
distance to land, immediately lying down, catching her breath.  Jake now 
comes out of the water, drops next to Sabrina.

			SABRINA
		(smiles)
	We made it, Jake.

			JAKE
		(catches his breath)
	Yeah.

			SABRINA
	You alright?

			JAKE
	I've known better days.

			SABRINA
	Me too.  Sometimes this spy business gets so crazy.

			JAKE
	Explain something to me.  Was it that Texan Yamamoto intended 
	the film for?

			SABRINA
	How did you know that?

			JAKE
	The way he played his cards.  He was trying to give his money 
	away.

			SABRINA
	That's the way Yamamoto gets paid.  First he gets his money, then 
	he turns over the goods.

			JAKE
	But Henderson!

			SABRINA
	Don't let appearances deceive you.  He's a German agent.

			JAKE
	But the Japanese and the Germans -- they're partners.

			SABRINA
	Not quite.  Though that's what we anticipate will happen.  Right 
	now they steal from each other, from us, from anyone who has 
	secrets for sale.

			JAKE
	And your job was to prevent the exchange?

			SABRINA
	Exactly.  Jake, I'm so sorry to get you involved with this.  I really 
	thought you'd only have to do what I asked you -- to take me to 
	Tagataya and back to Boragora.

			JAKE
		(smiles)
	A karate expert, fluent Japanese, a top poker player -- tell me, 
	what don't you do well?

			SABRINA
	I'm a lousy cook...
		(shivering)
	and I can't stand being cold.

She snuggles into Jake's arms.  Jake holds her willingly.  They kiss.

			SABRINA
	I wish we could stay here forever.

			JAKE
	If a fishing boat doesn't come along -- we may have to.

			SABRINA
	But we have a boat.

			JAKE
	Not one I'll be traveling in again.  You forget, Yamamoto will be 
	looking for it.

			SABRINA
	You're good at this sort of game, Jake.  You think of everything.

			JAKE
	I like staying alive.

She reaches up and kisses him again.

	Yeah.  But are you sure Jake's on there?

Henderson takes a gun from his holster, checks the chamber as:

			HENDERSON
	I'm sure.

			CORKY
	What're you gonna do with that?

			HENDERSON
	Just trust me, Corky -- and your friend will be alright.

EXTERIOR WATER - BOAT IN FLAMES - DAY (STOCK)

			CORKY'S VOICE
	Jake!  Jake!

	Nothing we can do now.  Let's get out of here.

EXTERIOR GOOSE  - DAY

The Goose turns and heads back to Tagataya.

EXTERIOR TAGATAYA WHARF, FISHING BOAT - DAY

As Jake and Sabrina get off.  Jake shakes the fisherman's hand, thanking 
him for the ride.  Jake and Sabrina walk away from the wharf.

INTERIOR BAR - DAY

Corky, grief stricken, sits at the bar in front of a long line of beers.  Jack 
sits on the stool next to him.

			CORKY
	Here's to the best friend a guy ever had.

Corky downs his beer, picks up a second one, starts to drink it then puts it 
down.  He puts his arm around Jack.

			CORKY
	What're we gonna do, Jack?  What're we gonna do?

No answer from Jack, just a raised paw on Corky's arm to console him.

INTERIOR CASINO - DAY

Princess Koji, sitting with Todo, reacts to something off screen, nudges 
Todo to have a look.

AT THE ENTRANCE

Sabrina and Jake have just entered.  Despite her appearance, she is in good 
spirits.

			SABRINA
	I'll change.  Then I think it's a good idea if we get out of here.

			JAKE
	Yeah, I'll go find Corky.

Jake leaves.  Hold on Sabrina as she looks in the direction of Koji and 
Todo.

KOJI AND TODO

Watching her.

SABRINA

She exits to the hotel area.

KOJI AND TODO

			KOJI
	Alright, Todo.

Todo grins, rises.

			TODO
	It will be taken care of, Princess.

Todo exits.  Hold on Koji as she picks up the strong box, opens it, caresses 
the thousands of dollars inside with a pleasurable smile.

INTERIOR BAR - DAY

Corky is finishing the last of his beers.  He is sloshed with grief.

			CORKY
	C'mon, Jack.  I have to radio Louie.

They start out.  But before they reach the entrance, Corky stops, frozen in 
his tracks.  Blinks his eyes to be sure they aren't playing tricks on him.  
Jack can be heard barking.

CORKY'S POINT OF VIEW - JAKE

Standing in the entrance as Jack runs up to him, jumps in his arms.

			JAKE
	How you doing, Jack?

FULL SHOT

as Corky staggers forward.

			CORKY
	Jake!  Is that really you?

			JAKE
	Hoisted a few, huh?  I can't let you out of my sight.

			CORKY
	But Jake, you're dead!

			JAKE
	You on the hard stuff again, Corky?

			CORKY
	But I saw the boat go up in flames!

			JAKE
	The boat?  What are you talk -- Yamamoto's boat?

			CORKY
	Yeah, a torpedo hit it.  Tex said you and Sabrina were on board.

			JAKE
	Tex?

			CORKY
	Yeah.  We were flying around looking for you -- I was looking 
	for you.  Tex -- he was looking for Yamamoto.

			JAKE
	Where is he?

			CORKY
	Who?

			JAKE
	Henderson, Corky.  Where is he?

			CORKY
	In his hotel room, he said he was dog tired.

			JAKE
	C'mon.

			CORKY
	Where we going, Jake?

			JAKE
	I'm going to the Goose to get the gun -- then I'm going to 
	Henderson's room.  You're going to sleep.

INTERIOR HOTEL CORRIDOR - DAY

Jake moves along the corridor, stops in front of Henderson's door.  He 
holds the gun inside his jacket and knocks on the door.  There is no 
answer.  Jake tries the knob.  The door opens.  Jake takes out the gun now, 
enters cautiously.

INTERIOR HOTEL ROOM - DAY

Jake enters with the gun aimed, reacts to:

HENDERSON

Draped over the bed in a twisted position, his arms dangling motionless 
over the edge of the bed.

JAKE

On his reaction:

					FADE OUT

			_END OF ACT THREE_


			_ACT FOUR_

FADE IN

EXTERIOR GOOSE - NIGHT

In flight.

INTERIOR GOOSE, COCKPIT - NIGHT

Jake is at the controls, Jack is seated next to him in Corky's usual seat.  
Jake looks troubled.

INTERIOR GOOSE, REAR - NIGHT

Sabrina and Corky are playing cards.  Corky draws a winning card.

			CORKY
		(spreads his cards down)
	There!  Rummy!

			SABRINA
	You win, Corky.

			CORKY
	Finally.
		(picks up cards)
	Let's play another.  I'm on a hot streak.

Sabrina smiles graciously.

			SABRINA
	Okay. Deal 'em up.

IN GOOSE, COCKPIT - NIGHT

Jake's mood seems a contrast to the card playing Corky and Sabrina.

EXTERIOR MONKEY BAR - NIGHT

As Louis spreads an elegant lace cloth over a table in the far corner.  His 
native workers now place down the settings of silver and china.  Wine is 
opened to allow it to breathe.  Louie darts around the table, arranging it, 
with a vase of flowers being the last touch.

SARAH

She watches this with some bewilderment, hand-painted Chinese screens 
are brought forward to enclose the table area, providing privacy.  Louie, 
with a look of achievement in his expression, steps away from the table as 
the screens are placed.

			SARAH
	I didn't know the Governor and his wife were on the island.

			LOUIE
	They aren't.  It was requested
		(caught up in the decor he has created)
	by Sabrina for...
		(aware of Sarah's feelings; slower)
	she and Jake are...

			SARAH
	I get the picture, Louie.

Sarah walks away, reacts to:

ENTRANCE

Jake enters in a dashing suit with tie to match.  He walks up directly to 
Sarah.

			JAKE
	Sarah, I've been looking for you.

			SARAH
	Where'd you get the suit?

			JAKE
	Oh, this -- Sabrina bought it for me in Tagataya -- It's not 
	important.  What is important is...

			SARAH
		(steamed)
	There is nothing you can say to me that's important, _Mister_ 
	Cutter.

Sarah stalks off.

			JAKE
		(following)
	Sarah!  Now wait a minute!  I have to talk to you!

Sarah keeps going out the door.  Jake follows.

AT THE BAR

Louie and Corky watching them.

			LOUIE
	L'amour.  L'Amour.  It is a merry-go-round, Corky.

			CORKY
	There's gonna be hell to pay after Sabrina leaves.

			LOUIE
	Perhaps she will stay.  Perhaps Jake will leave.

CORKY

His reaction to the possibility.

INTERIOR MONKEY BAR, AT PRIVATE TABLE - NIGHT

Panning across the flowers to the lit candles and picking up Sabrina, 
radiant, in a stunning dress.  Jake is across from her.  She pours the vintage 
wine into Jake's glass.

			SABRINA
	I persuaded Louie to serve his very best Margaux.
		(indicating table and scene)
	Isn't everything beautiful?

Jake, whose stoical expression is in contrast to Sabrina's high spirits, 
smiles, rather sadly.

			JAKE
	Yes.  Beautiful.

			SABRINA
		(pouring wine for herself)
	No matter how far from home a Frenchman travels, he remains a 
	romantic.  Just look at this filigreed work on the candalabras.

Jake nods, his expression remaining sad.  She picks up on it, dismisses it as 
she raises her glass in toast.

			SABRINA
	Here's to us, Jake.

They drink.

			JAKE
	There's something I have to ask you...

			SABRINA
	No, Jake, please.  Let me speak first.  There isn't much time.  The 
	Clipper leaves tonight.  I want you to go with me.  I'm going to 
	give up this crazy spy business.

			JAKE
	How would we live?

			SABRINA
	I have plenty of money to stake us.

			JAKE
	Plenty of money?  You don't even have what you had coming 
	from the poker game.  Princess Koji ended up with it all.

			SABRINA
	Jake, Princess Koji works for the Japanese.  I didn't want to take a 
	chance on crossing her -- my mission was to get the film.

			JAKE
	Still, as a poker player you had that money coming.

			SABRINA
	There were more important considerations -- like leaving 
	Tagataya.

			JAKE
		(cynically)
	Sure.

			SABRINA
	Jake, what's wrong?

			JAKE
	I'm remembering the boat, Sabrina.  You lied to me when you 
	went back for your purse.

			SABRINA
	Jake, I _did_ go for my purse.

			JAKE
	But not for the reason you said.  I watched Yamamoto's men 
	search your purse in the hotel room.  They didn't miss anything.  
	The film wasn't there.  You used the purse as an excuse while you 
	went to the radio and transmitted the location of Yamamoto's boat 
	-- and they torpedoed him out of this world.

Sabrina realizes that Jake can no longer be persuaded.  She sighs audibly, 
sips her wine.

			SABRINA
	Yes, my orders -- once everything was secured.

			JAKE
	Where did you stash the film?

			SABRINA
	In a planter leading from the hotel to the casino.  I was worried 
	that Yamamoto or Henderson would be suspicious.
		(reaches for his hand)
	Jake, please, no more -- let's enjoy this.  The Clipper will be 
	leaving.  I want you to go with me.

Jake removes his hand from hers.

			JAKE
	You're really something, Sabrina.  It was a Japanese torpedo that 
	did Yamamoto in.  You work for them.

			SABRINA
	Jake, you're wrong.

			JAKE
	And the reason you didn't get the money back from Koji -- that 
	was her cut for killing the American agent, Henderson, once you 
	gave her the all clear sign.  Neat little package -- one Japanese 
	traitor and one American agent dead.  The Fatherland will be 
	proud of you.

			SABRINA
	Jake, let me spend a little time convincing you you're wrong.  Get 
	on the Clipper with me, Jake.

			JAKE
	I'm not wrong, Sabrina.  I checked.  It's been confirmed.  Tex 
	Henderson was an American agent.  Frau Hedda Doppler.  Nice 
	change to Sabrina.

The tears roll quietly down Sabrina's face.

			SABRINA
	Jake, I love you.  You must believe that.

Jake is silent.  He looks away.  He'd _like_ to believe her.

			SABRINA
	They made me do it, Jake.  The Nazis.  Those terrible men.  If I 
	didn't cooperate, all my relatives still in Germany would be killed.  
	You must understand.

			JAKE
	Give me the film to prove it.

			SABRINA
	The film?

			JAKE
	Yes, the film.

Suddenly, an expression of joy breaks through Sabrina's tears.

			SABRINA
	Of course, Jake.  But I don't have it with me.

			JAKE
		(firmly)
	It's not in your room.

Sabrina reacts to the fact that Jake has checked her room, then she smiles.

			SABRINA
	No, that's the last place I'd conceal it.
		(she gets up)
	Come on.  I'll get it for you -- and you can do whatever you want 
	with it.

FULL SHOT - THE MONKEY BAR

As Sabrina and Jake emerge from the screened-off table and make their 
way through the bar to the entrance.

EXTERIOR MONKEY BAR - NIGHT

Jake and Sabrina come out.

EXTERIOR BORAGORA - NIGHT

Jake and Sabrina turn down a dimly-lit street.  Halfway down the street 
Sabrina stops in front of the street light.

CLOSER - STREET LIGHT AREA - NIGHT

Sabrina reaches up into the base of the light, retrieves a small white piece 
of paper, folded over.  She hands it to Jake.

			SABRINA
	I was going to pick it up just before boarding the Clipper.

Jake opens the paper, holds up the negative inside to the light, then 
replaces it in the paper, places it in his pocket.

			SABRINA
	C'mon, Jake -- you have to pack.  The Clipper leaves in a hour.

			JAKE
	I won't be going.  I'm not ready for a change yet.  I kinda like it 
	here.

			SABRINA
	Jake, please -- reconsider.

			JAKE
	You gave me the film.  So I believe your story.  You're free to go.  
	Goodbye, Sabrina.

Jake turns and walks back down the quiet street.

SABRINA

Standing there under the street light, watching Jake go.

JAKE

Walking down the shadowy street, the intersection up ahead.  The _sound_ of 
Sabrina's running towards him is heard as:

			SABRINA'S VOICE
	Jake.

Jake turns.  Angle widens to include Sabrina.  She is holding a small 
derringer at point blank range.

			SABRINA
	Give me the film, Jake.

			JAKE
	I gave you a chance.  Why didn't you take it?

			SABRINA
	The film, Jake.  I don't want to shoot you.

Jake reaches in his pocket, takes out the folded paper as:

			SARAH'S VOICE
	Drop the gun, Frau Doppler, or you're one dead lady.

Sabrina turns to the sound of the voice.

SARAH

Stepping out of the shadows, both hands steady on a .45 automatic.

FULL SHOT

Sabrina drops the gun.  Jake, sadly, steps up to Sarah, hands her the film.

			JAKE
	Thanks for doing it my way, Sarah.  I had to know.

Jake takes one last look at Sabrina.  In defeat, she is still able to smile and 
look beautiful.

			SABRINA
	Nice knowing you, Jake Cutter.

Jake walks away.

SARAH

Watching Jake with sympathy and yearning.

AT INTERSECTION

Jake appears, pulls the tie away from his collar, takes out a cigar, grits it in 
his teeth and lights it as Jack runs up to him.

			JAKE
	Hi, Jack.

Jake and Jack exit together.

EXTERIOR STREET - NIGHT

As Sarah, the .45 automatic raised, follows Sabrina as they walk down the 
street.

			_TAG_

FADE IN

EXTERIOR HOTEL AREA - DAY

Picking up Sarah returning from a walk.  She reaches the stairs, starts up to 
her room, pauses, looks over at:

EXTERIOR VERANDA - SARAH'S POINT OF VIEW - DAY

Jake seated, feet propped up, nursing a beer, looking somewhat 
disconsolately out toward the ocean.

BACK TO SARAH

She would like to join him, thinks better of it and begins climbing the 
stairs.

			JAKE'S VOICE
	Sarah!

She is somewhat surprised and then pleased as Jake walks up to her.

JAKE AND SARAH

Jake reacts to her smile.

			JAKE
	That's the first smile I've seen out of you in days.

			SARAH
	Well, it's the first words I've heard out of you in days.  It's nice to 
	know you're back among the living.

			JAKE
	Yeah, I guess I have been brooding a bit.

			SARAH
	Brooding?  I'd say you've been downright gloomy, Jake.

Jake acknowledges that he has been.

			JAKE
	I just wanted to say thanks.

			SARAH
	I should be thanking you.  You helped us catch a very dangerous 
	spy.

			JAKE
	Anyway -- you left me alone to sort things out and I appreciate it.

			SARAH
	Oh, Jake, I'm sorry that...
		(she can't find the words)

			JAKE
	That I what, Sarah?

			SARAH
	You know -- fell for that girl.

			JAKE
		(shrugs, a smile)
	I plead temporary insanity.

			SARAH
		(equally light)
	Your pleas is accepted.

			JAKE
	Good.  Let's have a bite to eat.

			SARAH
	I'll change.

			JAKE
	You look terrific just the way you are.  Come on.

He takes her by the hand.  Pan them to the Monkey Bar entrance.

INTERIOR MONKEY BAR - DAY

As Jake and Sarah enter, waiting for them with a towel draped across his 
arm is Louie.

			LOUIE
	This way, Madame, M'sieur.

Jake smiles knowingly.  Sarah is puzzled.

AT THE CHINESE SCREENS

As Louie leads the way to the partitioned section previously used by 
Sabrina and Jake.

AT THE TABLE

Bedecked with flowers and candles, a sumptuous meal is being served by 
Louie and his servants.  Sarah is pleasantly surprised as Jake holds back 
her chair.  She sits.  Jake sits.  Louie pours the wine for them.

			LOUIE
	You will start with escargot bourgogne, to be followed by salmon 
	fume, and then, our rarest local delicacy, shark in a meuniere 
	sauce.
		(seriously)
	Bon appetit, mes amis.

Louie exits.

			SARAH
	You call this a bite to eat?

			JAKE
	I had to think of something to get back into your good graces.
		(holds up his wine glass)
	Here's to us, Sarah.  A new beginning.

Sarah raises her glass, truly touched.  They drink.  She looks at him 
tenderly.  He reaches across the table and, cups her hand in his.
