bacon places a pile of money on a table. the rest are eating, tom keeps looking at his plate distastefully.
we calm down for a while. a cool track is playing. ed is now smartly dressed, sitting in an armchair. we have a close-up of his face. he is motionless, eyes closed; he looks asleep. the camera slowly tracks down his body we reach a single hand; he is cutting the pack skilfully and faultlessly; he is very much awake. there is a knock on his door. his eyes open.
tom, bacon and soap are sitting in front of ed who looks as though he is about to launch in to a speech.
the situation has been explained. there are thoughtful frowns on all foreheads. there is a pause.
