a slightly seedy little branch bank, old yellow brick, blond varnished wood, a rubber plant, an american flag. through the windows we see howard, the aged black bank guard, in uniform, taking down the american flag from outside. past him comes sal carrying an attache case. he passes howard coming toward us through the door into the bank. as he passes camera: sonny, re-entering the bank, speaks to howard. as sonny and sylvia walk into bank and head for the group at the rear. mulvaney is seated at his desk, but the rest of the girls are standing around the vault area. as sonny enters carrying food. as sonny comes running in. sylvia is now showing off her new-found expertise with a cigarette to miriam, jenny and deborah, seated around edna's desk. meanwhile, edna is back in the conference room with mulvaney; margaret is seated at her desk, speaking on the phone; maria, speaking on phone, is seated at mulvaney's desk - where television is still on.
