EXLEY<br />

Larry, he called you queer. He<br />

said at Casitas you took it up<br />

the ass. He said --<br />

FONTAINE<br />

I DIDN'T KILL NOBODY!<br />

The voice is strong, full of conviction. Exley<br />

glances at the mirror. Then...<br />

EXLEY<br />

Why'd you burn the clothes?<br />

FONTAINE<br />

(sobbing)<br />

I just wanted to lose my cherry.<br />

I didn't mean to hurt her.<br />

Exley can't hide his surprise at this.<br />

EXLEY<br />

Hurt who? Was she a hooker?<br />

Hurt who?<br />

But Fontaine is gone. Head lolling, eyes squeezing<br />

out tears.<br />

OBSERVATION ROOM<br />

Exley steps out of the interrogation room. Dudley<br />

braces him.<br />

Bud's all ears.<br />

#3 ROOM<br />

DUDLEY<br />

Don't get sidetracked. Stay with<br />

the Nite Owl.<br />

EXLEY<br />

She may still be alive, whoever<br />

she is.<br />

Reading, Jones has his feet on the table. Exley<br />

bursts in.<br />

JONES<br />

This newspaper shit ain't shit.<br />

EXLEY<br />

Where's the girl? Did you kill her?<br />

No answer, but Jones looks nervous.
