SARAH:

Andy! This is a nice surprise.

How are you, hon?

ANDREW:

I'm fine.

SARAH:

What's Dr. Gillman say?

ANDREW:

Hold on, Mom.

(punching into the

conference call)

There's no way my client will go

along with that.

HARGREAVE:

Who's this?

ANDREW:

Andrew Beckett. Hi, Karen. I'm

sorry I interrupted...

He punches out of the conference, back to his Mom (glancing

over his shoulder to make sure the door is shut).

ANDREW (CONT.)

Gillman says I'm fine. My blood

work is excellent. T-cells are up.

Just a sec ...

(conference call)

Yes, I think that would alleviate

most of our concerns.

(back to Mom)

My platelets look good too.

SARAH:

Are you on one of those conference

calls? I hate when you put me on

hold.

CUT ON ANDREW'S LAUGHTER TO:

THE MOON ABOVE THE WHEELER BUILDING LATE AT NIGHT (EXT.)

TITLE:
"One-thirty a.m."

CUT TO:

ANDREW AT WORK IN THE FIRM'S LIBRARY (INT./NIGHT) ...

Andrew's fingers FLY across the keys of a notebook computer.

Needing a reference, he shoves his rolling chair away from

the computer... opens a reference book... grabs a carton of

Chinese food... (NOTE: The library may be equipped with a

computer terminal which Andrew uses for reference, rather

than a book.)

Andrew eats sauteed string beans with chopsticks, finding a

relevant citation:

ANDREW:

Ah hah! Yes!

(chewing a string bean)

Rentworth v. Pennsylvania...

court of appeals affirms jury

award of punitive damages for

wrongful interference with

prospective economic

relations...

A SHADOW falls across Andrew. He IGNORES IT.

ANGLE:
TWO MEN IN SILHOUETTE. WALTER KENTON says:

KENTON:

Look at this f***ing guy. He's

an animal.
