(Outside the East Hills Teen Center, Anne is getting a truck packed)

ANNE: Charles.

GUNN: Annie. (they hug) How you doing?

ANNE: Pretty good, I guess. We got a bunch of furniture donated. Gotta move this stuff to the new shelter.

GUNN: Still fighting the good fight, huh?

ANNE: That's the drill. How are things uptown?

GUNN: More fight, less good. (grabs a box) Seen Rondell or the guys? I hit some of the old spots. Didn't see anyone.

ANNE: They should be around. They said they'd help me haul this stuff. You know how it is, though. Things come up.

GUNN: Yeah. You got much vamp trouble these days?

ANNE: Never goes away for good. The boys help out, though. We're pretty safe. It gives me time to concentrate on the little things. Crack, runaways, abuse victims, psychotics. The old gang.

GUNN: Yeah, I remember.

ANNE: It's not so bad. We've had some really decent donations, and it's helping. We actually have a part-time paid psychiatric staff.

GUNN: What if I told you it doesn't help? What would you do if you found out that none of it matters? That it's all controlled by forces more powerful and uncaring than we can conceive, and they will never let it get better down here. What would you do?

ANNE: I'd get this truck packed before the new stuff gets here. Wanna give me a hand?

GUNN: I do.

(they each take one end of a couch)

GUNN: 1, 2, 3!

(they each lift their end of the couch and bring it to the truck)
