(the ENGINEER approaches JOHN)



ENGINEER

hey monsieur John, how'd you like to get rich

go home in style. . .?



JOHN

yeah okay, what's the pitch?



ENGINEER

an U.S. visa to help me out

lend me a bit of your embassy clout



JOHN

there isn't a chance pal, you're too well known

look, what I want is that girl in the dress



ENGINEER

you have a good eye

her name is Kim, she's my new princess

you give her a try?



JOHN

it's my friend Chris

who's the one feeling down



MARINE

I ordered a beer!



ENGINEER

she'll get him up,

it's her first night in town

but I have to warn you

she don't come cheap

it's got to be twenty for my princess



JOHN

twenty dollars??



ENGINEER

she's sort of a virgin, well more or less

for twenty more you get a room and key

for fifty bucks, she's got the whole night free



MARINES

no one gives us a buzz

like the Engineer does



(JOHN approaches CHRIS with Kim)



JOHN

stop drooling white boy

you're losing your cool

you like this jail bait



CHRIS

John, open your eyes

this is the end of the line

this whole rotten scene



this little girl, we could be in the sack

for what it costs me to buy a big mac

John, it's time to go back -

you know what I mean



JOHN

I'm starting to cry pal

you're so out of touch

the trouble with you is you think too much

ooh

ol' Dr. John knows what you need alright

I've bought you a present

she yours all night



MARINES

no one gives you a hit like the Engineer's shit!!



(Across the room, the ENGINEER speaks to KIM.)



ENGINEER

see little princess, I was right

you got the biggest score tonight

you caught that sergeant by the nose

you stay with him until he goes

call him Chris

he'll like that



KIM

that marine

wants his beer



ENGINEER

you said you needed a job

you said you'd turn a trick

you'd better prove it, and quick!



(he leads KIM to CHRIS)



ENGINEER

voila!
