Billy sits in the waiting area. The other customers avoid eye contact. A LITTLE BOY points at him...
LITTLE BOY That's Billy Speck!
BOY'S MOM Shhh. Don't bother him.
LITTLE BOY He's the one who threw the wild card game...
BOY'S MOM Quiet. (to Billy) Sorry.
BILLY No need. He's right.
A suited BANKER approaches.
BANKER Mr. Speck? |
|
Billy stands, follows the banker towards his desk... Bangs into JACK as he crosses in the opposite direction. JACK Sorry bub.
They recognize each other, try not to let on.
BILLY No problem. |

JACK (V.O.) I don't know what motivated me. Love? Lust? A desire to self-destruct...
He contemplates his CELL PHONE, scrolls to contacts: FRED and AVA. |
|
JACK (V.O.) Or simply trying to do something that resembles right.
JACK (INTO PHONE) I got 'um.
FRED (ON PHONE) Good, why you calling me?
JACK (INTO PHONE) To let you know there's been a change of plans.
FRED (ON PHONE) Oh really? Are you sure you want to go down that road?
JACK (INTO PHONE) You want the bonds, give me the tape. (silence) Meet me at Marlowe's, one hour.
Jack hangs up, exits the bank. AVA (ON PHONE) Have you reconsidered your evening?
JACK (INTO PHONE) I'm reconsidering a few things.
AVA (ON PHONE) Sounds adventurous.
JACK (INTO PHONE) Might be. Can we meet?
AVA (ON PHONE) I'll be at the club. My usual booth.
JACK (INTO PHONE) Fred?...
AVA (ON PHONE) ... Won't be there. He has another "photo spread" with Greta Glade.
JACK (INTO PHONE) I'll see you soon. Jack hangs up, exits the bank. |

Billy sits across from the Banker.
BANKER How and I help you today Mr. Speck?
BILLY I was hoping I could get some of my money...
BANKER Right. Yes, well. As you're aware your accounts have been seized. Pending your appeal, there's nothing we can do.
BILLY That's not happening. Today.
BANKER Of course.
BILLY But it will.
BANKER Assuredly.
BILLY What about a loan?
BANKER With what collateral Mr. Speck? You can't take a loan against frozen assets.
BILLY I can figure something out. |

BILLY (V.O.) I know a guy who owes me. Something big. |
