The man smiled. "Checking the ground, Cho ... He's the one I was looking for years - young,caucasian, and a true adept.""He'd be burned - once kung fu, always kung fu."Tony shook his head. "David Carradine wasn't ... Okay, we'll never win an Oscar, but it'smovies, and it makes a living - I've seen worse burn marks," he looked at Cho, "and I'll seemore of them."Cho smiled. "It's a thought ... But for starters, Harry's under exclusive rights."Tony nodded. "That's understood ... You know where to find me, if you change your mind."He walked off.Harry stared at Cho. "Are you my agent?""Nonsense ... You cannot play in movies, Harry - you have to finish school first.""Allright, then let me get back to school. Are we done here?"Cho bit her lips. "A few more minutes. I had no chance yet to talk with Samy.""Too busy with starlets, huh? ... Pity it's not his wife, then I might be able to help."Cho glared at him. "That wasn't funny!""Maybe it wasn't thought as a joke ... How long?"The answer came as a hissing. "Why don't you leave? Nobody's holding you back.""I came with you, and I'll go with you - that's why."A sneering. "That's not the standard here.""But it's my standard ... You'll find me at the bar."For the next hour, Harry was sitting in a corner - the company at the bar hadn't been to histaste, and there were a few things to think over. Even so, he was offered all kinds of sex -female, male, front or tail, a threesome, and an orgy. Looking mean didn't help, quite thecontrary.He saw Cho talking with a man who seemed to be the host. The man was laughing, shakinghis head, saying something which looked very much like an offer to forget business and f***instead.Cho came over. "That's it ... Let's go.""No luck?""He wasn't interested in a deal - not the one I had in mind."34
"Yes, I saw the alternative offer ... Anyway, I can outnumber this kind of offer by far - had thefull choice, really.""I don't think so," replied Cho dryly, "because you don't know what's the full choice here."In this case, Harry could live without this knowledge. He followed Cho to the car, sat in thepassenger's seat silently, until they reached the hotel. The car came to a halt. Cho glanced athim. "What now?""We have to talk.""Where?"So she seemed to know the topic he had in mind. Still, her question sounded strange. "In thatsuite," he said, "where else? Were you planning to drive away?""I don't know what I was planning." Cho climbed out, took her bag, opened the trunk forHarry to get his suitcase.In the suite, Harry went to the small fridge that was called mini bar, took his first hard drinkof the evening - vodka with orange juice, sat down and waited until Cho was back from thebathroom, had her own drink, and her own seat. He looked at her, saw someone almostfamiliar, without that jacket, without the jewelry. "What's going on here?""I'm trying to sell spector technology, as a revolutionary concept of movie recording ... That'sthe bottom line.""And - what do they say?""So far, they're not interested. Movies are made of stars and stories and fiction andimagination, but most of all they're made of marketing ... Nobody cares about technology -sensurround isn't selling a single ticket more, that's what they say."Harry didn't know what sense-around was, didn't care either. A tired-looking Cho wassomething to care about, only he was at least as tired as herself, and he had some morequestions. He asked, "And otherwise?""What do you mean?""Why am I here? To escort you to that party? ... I felt like your earring, only you had somealready, and I'm not sparkling that much.""That's not the only reason." Cho didn't look up."You've learned to know a lot of people ... Gerry, for instance."Now she looked at him, sighed. "Yes."He waited, watching her.35
