31. INT. BANK. EVENING

The bank, dark now. Among the empty desks Henderson sits with his head in his hands. Barbara is leaning against a desk nearby. Beyond them in the distance a young Vietnamese girl with a long pole closes the shutters on the high windows.

Henderson Oh my God, Barbara, I can tell you despise me.

Barbara Have I said anything?

Henderson No. Not at all. It’s just … your general demeanour. You behave as if I’m doing something wrong.

Barbara looks down at him, as if a little surprised.

I do have to tell you, I’ve been going crazy …

Barbara Well, in that case it’s best that you leave. Hong Kong is a good place to forget me. (She smiles slightly, amused at the ludicrousness of the remark.) So you’ll be much happier there. (She is looking at the floor.)

Henderson I would like … I feel you disapprove of me.

She does not answer.

You feel I’m cowardly, that’s right?

Barbara smiles, this time bitterly, at the inadequacy of what she will say.

Barbara I think that we … who were not born here … should make sure we go with dignity.

There is a pause.

That’s all.
