KAYLA ARE BACK AT THE LOFT. JACK LEAPS ONTO THE SOFA AND RELAXES.
JACK: I think that went pretty well don't
you? KAYLA: I did everything you
wanted Jack.
JACK: Hmmm. I feel a favor coming on.
KAYLA: Look you keep hinting that you know
where Steve is.
 JACK:
Maybe I do and maybe I don't.
KAYLA: If you've got him somewhere, please
let me see him.
JACK: Kayla, Sweetheart! Can I have a cup of coffee?
KAYLA: Jack! Look, I just want to see him
for a while, please? It'll make me feel better.
JACK: (Indecisive at first.)....No, I can't.
KAYLA: Why not? What in the world difference
does it make to you?
JACK: Because maybe I don't feel like granting
any favors right now. But that is unless you're ready to reciprocate....
KAYLA: You disgust me.
JACK: Suit yourself.
KAYLA: Get your feet off my couch!
KAYLA GRABS HER COAT AND OPENS THE DOOR.
THE BODYGUARD IS THERE SO SHE GOES UP TO THE ROOF.

You can believe me.
JACK: Well alright, we'll get together
first thing in the morning. We'll talk and....
MELISSA: No, no, this can't wait until
morning. I have to see you tonight.
JACK: Well could you tell me what's so
urgent?
MELISSA: Look I'm at the pier. I'll wait
for you.
JACK: Well just give me an idea.

from anyone but me, HER HUSBAND.
KAYLA: Jack....
STEVE: YOU'RE NOT HER HUSBAND. YOU'RE A
