two Maintenance Men.
BRUNO:

AS he speaks, Bruno SEES Tommy pass through the hallway... spot something on the floor... pick it up... furtively
put it in his pocket... and walk rapidly toward thedoor to the kitchens.
BRUNO:
(running after him)
Hey, you! Waiter! Hold it rightthere!
Bruno puts an arm on Tommy. Tommy instantly assumes afrantic, wimpy, craven persona, along wth his CARRIBBEANACCENT.
TOMMY:

BRUNO:

TOMMY:

Bruno snorts agreement, goes for his wallet... Tommy goesgor the ring... then suddenly leaps back in a cringe!
TOMMY:

call me a thief and send me back

Bruno snaps and GRABS TOMMY BY THE COLLAR.

TOMMY:

turn this over to police.
He starts to leave. Bruno grabs him.

So you'd better fork over...
TOMMY:

Another lightbulb.
BRUNO:

TOMMY:
You said 'thousands.'

BRUNO:
A thousand dollars.
TOMMY:

With an 'S'. This is plural.
This means "two or more thousands."
BRUNO:
(deep sigh)
Okay, you win. Two thousand.
Or more.
TOMMY:
Two or more.
Bruno's had enough -- his grip tightens around Tommy'sneck.
TOMMY:
Just making a point.
