• ,It is a warm morning in early summer. We are CLOSE and ANGLED SLIGHTLY DOWNWARD at-a marvelous look;Lng GIRL in a X bikini who is sunning herself beside a swimming pool. Somewhere Musak is playing unobtrusively. She takes off her sunglasses, swings ·off the deck chair and moves down to the end of the pool. She is qQite alone. She poises a _moment by a sign which warns guests that they use the pool at their own risk, then she dives into the water.

Now we discover that the • pool area is on top of a high-rise Hotel building (The Holiday Inn) in downtown San Francisco. The pool quickly shrinks to a tiny turquoise oblong, then suddenly the ZOOM 'BACK stops. We realize that we are on the rooftop of a second build'ing several blocks away and some .twenty-- five stories higher than the first. In the foreground is the figure of a ·MAN, his back to us.
