                       He lifts the guns, takes one step back, and aims the gun toward the
                       policeman. B stops in his track and stares at the Amerasian.


                                                   THE AMERASIAN

                                     Standstill or I will shoot.



                                                   POLICEMAN B
                                     Do you dare? Remember, I am a
                                     policeman. You will go to jail for
                                     life for shooting a policeman. Do
                                     you dare?


                                                   THE
                                     Take on a step forward and I will

                                     shoot. I am not afraid. I am just
                                     defending myself.

                       The policeman considers the determination on the Amerasian's  face
                       and feels a little afraid. But he regains his poise and  swiftly changes

                       the conversation.


                                                  POLICEMAN B
                                     I know you won't dare shoot me. You
                                     aren't stupid enough to add more
                                     calamities to your fate when you still
                                     have a big unresolved problem. Let me

                                     ask you again: do you love the girl? And
                                     remember that you are an Amerasian
                                     and she is an underage girl.


                                                   THE AMERASIAN
                                     The girl told me that love doesn't
                                     differentiate and accepts no
                                     boundaries. She is still young and
                                     she understands that. Why can't
                                     you?
