HOLLIS:
Sam! I was just telling a few
about your old man.
FENTON:
He was a unique individual.
SAM:
Yeah, he was that.
We sense a little strain when Sam has to talk about his father--
HOLLIS:
Big day coming up--I wish we'd
have thought of it while he was
still living. But he went so
unexpected
FENTON:
Better late than never. Korean
War hero, Sheriff for near thirty
years--Buddy Deeds Memorial P---
SAM:
I heard there was a bit of a fuss.
HOLLIS:
Oh, you know, the usual
troublemakers. Danny Padilla
from the Sentinel, that crowd.
FENTON:
country is called after Martin
Luther King, they can't let our
side have one measly park?
HOLLIS:
King wasn't Mexican, Fenton--
FENTON:
Bad enough all the street names
are in Spanish--
SAM:
They were here first.
FENTON:
Then name it after Big Chief
Shitinabucket! Whoever that
Tonkawa fella was. He had the
Mexes beat by centuries.
HOLLIS:
There was a faction pulling for
that boy who was killed in the
Gulf War--Ruben--
SAM:
--Santiago.
HOLLIS:
Right. But nobody here ever
noticed him till they read his
name on the national news--
FENTON:
They just wanted it to be one of
theirs--
HOLLIS:
That's not the whole story. The
Mexicans that know, that remember,
understand what Buddy was for
their people. Hell, it was
Mercedes over there who swung the
deciding vote for him.
Sam looks to the register where Pilar's mother, MERCEDES
CRUZ, whacks rolls of change apart on the counter. She seems
to be avoiding looking toward him.
SAM:
That so?
HOLLIS:
She put it even at three to three,
so as the Mayor I get to cast the
tiebreaker. The older generation
won't have any problem with it.
They remember how Buddy come to
be Sheriff, that it was all 'cause
he took their part.
FENTON:
Tell that one, Hollis--
HOLLIS:
Hell, everybody heard that story
a million times.
SAM:
I'd like to hear it. Your version
of it.
Something about the way Sam says it puts Hollis on guard.
FENTON:
Go ahead, Hollis.
CU HOLLIS:
Hollis is hooked into it now --
HOLLIS:
The two of us were the only
deputies back then me and Buddy--
it's what--'58--
FENTON (O.S.)
'57, 1 believe--
HOLLIS:
And the Sheriff at the time was
one of your old-fashioned bribe-
or-bullets kind of Sheriffs, he
took a healthy bite out of whatever
moved through this county.
He looks down at the table--
HOLLIS:
It was in here one night, back
when Jimmy Herrera run the place.
Started right here in this booth.
We PAN down to the table, The food has changed. The tortillas
are in a straw basket instead of plastic. The jukebox changes
to ANOTHER SONG and the LIGHT DIMS slightly. A hand with a
big Masonic ring on one finger appears to lift a tortilla --
underneath it lie three ten-dollar bills. The hand lifts
them up and we TILT to see the face of SHERIFF CHARLEY WADE,
