POLICEMAN B (CONT'D)
Do you know that there are a lot of
bad people these days, especially
among young men? They don't have a
job; they don't want to study or
work; they gather to play cards,
drink, tease girls; and sometimes,
they do very bad things. For
example, the Amerasian...

The girl reacts immediately.

THE GIRL
The Amerasian didn't do anything
bad.

POLICEMAN B
How do you know? You can't possibly
know everything he has done. And
speaking of what he did to you,
don't you think it was bad? Didn't
your parents explain to you what he
did?

The girl speaks in a firm voice, her eyes gleaming with trust.

THE GIRL
The Amerasian didn't do anything
bad. He loves me.

Policeman B is surprised by her reply. He freezes for an instant and
then mutters:

POLICEMA
Love. So, it's love. But you know

nothing about love. You have been
used, but you just don't
understand, that's all. Poor you.
