           COREY:

           Go ahead.  I'll slow him up a little and follow you.

      Greg runs O.S.  For a LATER CUT Corey runs off in same
      direction. For a FINAL CUT The Copperhead reaches the same
      spot and ducks back as a shot hits the wall.  He then fires
      after Corey O.S. and a moment later runs up to the next level.
