The Old Man trudges on, proud and suspicious, too.

CATCH:

Right now your mind’s making

pictures of me robbing your

groceires, but, y’know, nine times

out of ten, people do the right

thing.

The Old Man glances at him, still not convinced, but he

soon has to stop and rest. Catch stops, too. The old

man looks at him, a bit embarrassed.

OLD MAN:

It’s the dog food that makes it so

heavy.

Catch nods, puts out his hand. The Old Man hesitates,

then decides and lifts a bag, and Catch takes it.

CATCH:

I guess it’s worth it... for a

good dog.

Catch isn’t kidding. He has that honesty. The Old Man

nods and starts trudging again. As they walk on

together, Catch reaches for that second bag. The man

relents and lets him take it. They continue on, Catch

carrying the bags and every now and then lifting them a

bit for his upper body work.

EXT. VIDEO GAME ROOM -DAY

This is the call Sharon and Robby have sped to. It is a

chaotic scene of cops breaking up a fight between eight

boys, 16-20. A big KID, 18 or so, is being pulled off

another by Sharon and Robby. The Kid is wild and

resisting and Sharon shows her toughness and

professionalism and some anger, too, as she slams him

into a fence --and Robby holds him while she cuffs the

young man --who is very mouthy, playing to his friends.

KID:

Look at this b*tch. Whoo! Benny,

look at this!

Sharon and Robby are both very good at their jobs, taking

this Kid to their car while other cops contain the rest.

A crowd watches --mostly teens.

KID:

(to Sharon)

You come in with me. Hey, b*tch.

Some of his bystanders friends howl at that.

KID:

You’re going to arrest me, you

come into the back seat with me.

Come on!

He resists a bit, but they’re getting him into the car.

KID:

Come on. We’ll have a good time.

INT. POLICE CAR -DAY (FEW MINUTES LATER)

Sharon’s on the radio to dispatch as Robby drives and the

Kid keeps mouthing off.

SHARON:

(to radio)

Three Adam Five --show us 1019 to

the jail with one male prisoner.

KID:

Take off your uniform. Take off

my handcuffs, b*tch, and come back

here. I want one touch.

ROBBY:

Give it a rest!

Sharon is stone-faced through this.

CONTINUED:

KID:

If you’re going to put me away,

you gotta give me one sweet touch.

INT. JAIL BOOKING AREA -DAY

As Robby and Sharon bring their suspect to the booking

counter, each holding one of his cuffed arms. The Kid is

looking at Sharon’s hand on his arm.

KID:

That ain’t the touch. That ain’t

the touch I want.
