INT TAXI, MOVING - LATER
TIM removes the Walkman from around his neck, opening his attache
case.
TIM
I hate to complain -- I really do -
about the trash, the garbage, the
disease, about how filthy this city
really is and you know and I know that
it is a sty...

TIM places the Walkman in the attache case and pulls out today's
New York Post, opening it up.

PATRICK (V.O.)Oh... my... god.
TIMIn one issue -- in one issue -- let's
see here...

PATRICK (V.O.)Please... shut up.
TIM
...strangled models, babies thrown
from rooftops, kids killed in the
subway, a Communist rally, mafia boss
wiped out, Nazis-

TIM flips through the pages excitedly...
TIM (CONT'D)-baseball players with AIDS, more
mafia shit, gridlock, the homeless,
various maniacs, faggots dropping like
flies in the streets, the cancellation
of a soap opera, surrogate mothers...
and the joke is, the punch line is,
it's all in this city - nowhere else,
just here, it sucks, whoa wait, more
Nazis, gridlock, baby-sellers, black-
market babies, coma baby, hot water
burns baby, AIDS babies, bridge
collapses-
 


TIM stops, catching his breath.  He notices something through the
window...

TIM's POV:
A HOMELESS PERSON begs for change on a street corner.TIM (O.S.)That's the twenty-fourth one I've seen
today.  I've kept count.
