ROY:
A little eye opener, Kenny?
WELLS:
Breakfast of champions, Roy. Breakfast
of champions.
Wells raises his glass in his signature salute.
5.
WELLS (CONT’D)
To the mother lode.
Wells pounds the whiskey and WE GO...
INT. THE THREE GREENHORNS BAR - BACK BOOTH - LATER
Wells sits at his “desk” -- the corner booth in the back of
the bar. Working one of the two phones on the table. He
flicks the ash from his smoke into a half full ashtray.
WELLS:
(into phone)
...It’s an outstanding opportunity,
which is why I’m calling you
personally. The geologic reports are
encouraging and we’re taking a very
aggressive position. We’re looking at
yields in the high six figures.
A prospectus? ...Of course, I can mail
one right out. I should tell you,
though - this offering is already
oversubscribed. I’m taking out of my
own holdings to cover demand but hey,
we can always get you in on the next
one... I understand. Look, why don’t
I give you a ring this afternoon and
we’ll see if there are any parcels
left. Well, if you just give me...
Click. Another one that got away.
WELLS (CONT’D)
You have a pleasant day...
He hangs up the receiver and grabs his drink, a HAND stops it
before it reaches his lips.
KAY:
11:
15, Kenny.WELLS:
Oh, Christ.
He hops out of the booth. Maybe drinking all morning suddenly
not the best idea.
KAY:
There’s a fresh shirt in the “office.”
WELLS:
5A.
KAY:
Sittin’ right here.
Wells grabs his briefcase and heads into his adjunct office.
6.
INT. GREENHORNS BATHROOM - DAY
Fresh shirt laid out. Wells gives himself a sink bath.
Electric shave. Visine. Gargle of Scope.
And WE GO...
INT. THE THREE GREENHORNS BAR - MOMENTS LATER
Wells emerges, transformed, presents himself to Kay.
KAY:
It’s a miracle.
WELLS:
A million bucks?
Her looks says let’s not get carried away, but she says:
KAY:
Two million.
He drains his drink.
WELLS:
I’ll come by for you after. We’ll
celebrate.
KAY:
I’ll have my dancing shoes on.
Down the bar a NICKEL SLOT MACHINE noisily pays out. They both
see this as a good sign.
WELLS:
I’ve got a good feeling about this.
And he’s off. And WE GO:
INT. COLEMAN & MEAD CAPITAL GROUP - RECEPTION - DAY
TIGHT ON a PICTORIAL in Northern Prospector. Wells, in the
reception of a local investment bank, flipping pages. Flip
Flip. Checks his watch, looks at the receptionist, BEV.
WELLS:
Any idea how much longer, Bev?
BEV:
Shouldn’t be too much longer now,
Kenny. How you been?
6A.
He makes the so-so gesture with his hand. Two bankers enter.
LLOYD STANTON (30’s) and HENRY ANDREWS, even younger, in nicer
