                                                   THE MAN
                                     No, nothing. We always look like
                                     that. We can't buy or sell
                                     anything. Just look around at our
                                     home, and you'll understand.


                       Policeman B looks around the house with an understanding eye.
                       He suddenly notices someone moving on a bed set behind a
                       dirty curtain. He looks at the bed intensely and turns around to ask the
                       man.


                                                   POLICEMAN B
                                     Is your kid sick?


                       The man's face turns white.



                                                   THE MAN


                                     Yes.

                       Policeman B attempts to stand up.



                                                   POLICEMAN B
                                     Please let me see if I can do
                                     anything to help.

                       The man raises his hand to stop him.



                                                   THE MAN
                                     No, there's no need. She just has a
                                     slight fever.

                       Policeman B speaks in a solemn, official tone.
