98INT. PRIVATE DETECTIVE’S OFFICE. DAY.

A small room on the 30th floor of an office building. Raleigh, Richie and Dudley sit across a desk from the large man in the coat and tie. He is a detective.

DETECTIVE

How much do you already know, gentlemen?

RALEIGH

Very little, I assure you.

DETECTIVE

Would you like to examine the report?

RALEIGH

We would, rather. Yes.

The detective hands Raleigh a manila folder. He opens and begins to read. Richie looks over his shoulder.

MONTAGE:

Margot at age twelve buys a pack of cigarettes in a bodega. She smokes one on the roof of the house, leaning against the chimney, next to the falcon’s coop.

(In each of the following images, Margot smokes a cigarette.)

Margot climbs out the window of a girls’ dormitory. She carries a small suitcase. She shimmies down the gutter and runs across the lawn.

Margot stands inside a torch-lit shack among a group of dancing Rastafarians in Jamaica. She holds hands with one of them while he lights a large brown-paper-wrapped marijuana cigarette. A man dressed in a black shirt with a priest’s collar places a string of shells around Margot’s neck. Another man has a small machine gun. There is a goat in the doorway, and the ocean glimmers outside.

Margot opens a window and looks out at the Eifel Tower. She wears a bra and a slip. A topless girl appears next to her, eating a croissant. The girl puts her arms around Margot’s waist, and Margot runs her hands through the girl’s hair.

Margot stands in a pool of water facing a young tribesman in New Guinea. He has on warpaint and wears a large tusk in his nose. Margot kisses him on the mouth.
