        After Cyndi and Rich leave the area, Lylla brings Jack and
        Brad/Brenda into the area.

                        LYLLA
                So what the hell is going on around here?

                        JACK
                Ask Brad/Brenda.

                        WAITPERSON
                Hey, I don't know why you need me here,
                and I've got work to do--

                        LYLLA
                Jack, what's he got to do with it?

                        WAITPERSON
                Nothing, man.

                        JACK
                Too late for that, Brad/Brenda.  You blackmail me
                like that, I got no choice.

                        WAITPERSON
                I don't know what he's talking about.

                        LYLLA
                I overheard the Yins and Yangs talking about
                drugs.  Earlier you two are playing hot potato
                with a bag of cocaine.

                        WAITPERSON
                Listen, I do have work to do and--

                        LYLLA
                So what's going on?

                        WAITPERSON
                I'm not taking the rap alone, man.

                        LYLLA
                Jack?  You two in this together or what?

                        JACK
                It's his problem more than mine.

                        WAITPERSON
                That's a damn lie!

                        JACK
                It's not my place the drugs were in.

                                WAITPERSON
                Hey, if you think you're pinning this on me,
                you're crazy.

                        LYLLA
                If you don't tell me what's going on, I can't
                help you.

                        WAITPERSON
                Why would you help us?

                        JACK
                She's my lawyer, man.

                        WAITPERSON
                Why didn't you say so?

                        LYLLA
                Now once again: Will someone please tell me
                what's going on.  You two have something to do
                with drugs; so does the cult, I think -- do
                these two observations have anything to do
                with one another?  Jack?

                        JACK
                I thought you quit.

                        LYLLA
                I may quit.  It depends on your attitude.

                        WAITPERSON
                What do you want to know?

                        LYLLA
                Everything.

                        JACK
                The stash I had?  He gave it to me.  I didn't
                want anything to do with it.

                        WAITPERSON
                It's your deal, man, I was just working for
                you!

                        LYLLA
                Can we start at the beginning?


                        WAITPERSON
                I got the stuff in Astoria. But the connections, the
                deal, all the details, are his, the whole
                show.

                        LYLLA
                Jack?

                        JACK
                You know, I'm not sure if anyone's actually
                accused me of anything, right?  I'm not sure
                it's necessary to defend myself.

                        LYLLA
                If we're going to have a relationship, I have
                to know what's going on.  Are you dealing
                cocaine or what?

         Jack shrugs, still refusing to answer.

                        LYLLA
                I can't help you if you keep something that
                important from me.

                        JACK
                You're supposed to be interested in Trudy's
                drug connection, not mine.  What do you think
                they were doing on that tape, shooting up with
                vitamins?

                        LYLLA
                It's hard to say what they were doing.

                        WAITPERSON
                What tape?

                        LYLLA
                It doesn't concern you.

                        JACK
                Some weird church ritual, with everyone
                shooting up.

                        WAITPERSON
                I may know something about that.

                        LYLLA
                About the church and drugs?

                        WAITPERSON
                Maybe.  I talked to that lady from the other
                boat -- not the bride, the other -- and she
                said a few interesting things.

                        LYLLA
                You talked to Maxine?

                        WAITPERSON
                Maxine, right.  But I'll tell you one thing:
                I'm not taking the rap for drugs being on the
                ship.  I was working for Jack.

                        JACK
                You're an asshole, Brad.  None of this
                would've happened if you hadn't panicked.

                        LYLLA
                Tell me more about the church and drugs.

                        WAITPERSON
                What's in it for me?

                        LYLLA
                It depends.  I'd like you to watch the tape.
                We'll go from there.

                        WAITPERSON
                That's all I got to do?

                        LYLLA
                Just watch the tape of the ritual.

                        JACK
                If you don't even believe anything's going on,
                what help will he be?

                        LYLLA
                I think he should see it -- if it's alright
                with you.

                        JACK
                How's this going to help me prove Trudy is
                crazy?  We're not even sure she's in the tape.

                        LYLLA
                It's hard to say who's there and who isn't.
                The quality isn't very good, and they're all
                dressed up in skins and sheets and whatever.
                Let's go watch it -- you're willing?

                        WAITPERSON
                I'll watch a tape, sure -- I'm not saying I'll
                do more than that.  I'm protecting number one
                first, okay?

                        LYLLA
                 As you should.

                        JACK
                Hey, as I should, too, okay?

                        LYLLA
                We're just going to watch the tape again -- I
                know you've been saying drugs are in there all
                along, Jack, but I didn't really see it that
                way.  I couldn't tell what the hell they were
                doing.  But considering what I overheard, it's
                worth another look.  I'd like as much
                interpretation as possible.  So shall we?

        They leave. In H, the matre'd and Susanne, who have been
        spying on them, will move quickly around into G, spying on
        the tape being shown in E.  /ex2/ /ex5/ /ex8/
