                                 Re-Elect Fairchild

              INT   PENTHOUSE LUXURY CONDO   LATE AFTERNOON

              The chardonnay and brie set:  CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTORS who
              prefer the low-key approach to political huckstering.

              A SLEEK COUPLE stroll towards the WRAPAROUND PENTHOUSE
              WINDOWS admiring:

              A VIEW ACROSS A DIZZYINGLY VERTICAL, CROWDED SKYLINE

              Breathtaking in its sheer defiance of gravity.
              Towers, pyramids, spires, sheered columns.
              Soaring dozens -- hundreds -- of floors in the air.

              Now we can hear APPLAUSE ... growing louder ...

              Senator JUSTIN FAIRCHILD holds forth to the political
              flock.  When he talks, people listen ...

                                       FAIRCHILD

                        ... Our enemies now wish to reform
                        our criminal justice system ...
                                 (he pauses; a not-
                                  too-subtle sneer)

              Powerful, charismatic -- he still retains his boyish good
              looks despite advancing years.

                                       SLEEK WOMAN
                                 (whispering to companion)
                        He does take good care of himself,
                        doesn't he?

              We can see Fairchild revving himself up, breathing in the
              crowd's admiration ...  He loves this shit ...

                                       FAIRCHILD
                                 (continuing)
                        ... Our enemies have forgotten what
                        it was like ... when the animals
                        roamed our streets ...

              We see nods of agreement from some of the older
              contributors ...
