Barney's Version Page #3
Barney tosses the folder aside.
BARNEY:
I'll give it my utmost attention.
SOLANGE:
I hired a new lawyer, a real shark,
and he says-
MARK:
Whoa, whoa, Solange, why do we needto bring lawyers into this?
Solange turns around and pushes the Exec's out.
SOLANGE:
Out! I want to talk Barney alone.
MARK:
Barney, we have to discuss-
SOLANGE:
OUT!
She slams the door on them and turns to Barney. Her tone
instantly softens.
SOLANGE (CONT'D)
I feel like everyone is laughing at
me. Tell me honestly, how do I look?
Beat.
BARNEY:
You look like the reason we're still
on the air. Sexy as hell.
SOLANGE:
(teary)
Thank you.
(beat)
But you're still going to pay mewhat I deserve.

She stops just before exiting.
SOLANGE (CONT'D)
I saw the paper. How are you doing?
BARNEY:
Fine.
Not wanting to get into it, Barney busies himself with movingaround papers. Solange takes the cue, then takes a deepbreath, puts her game face on and storms out, slamming thedoor behind her for effect.
CUT TO:
INT/EXT. BARNEY'S CAR - DRIVING - DAY
Barney drives through downtown Montreal, eventually parkingin front of Grumpy's Bar.
INT. GRUMPY'S BAR - DAY
Barney walks into his regular watering hole - GRUMPY'S BAR.
The bar spotted with regulars who mumble hello to him.
JILL THE BARTENDER serves him his usual.
JILL:
You get home okay last night?
BARNEY:
I got home.
With a glance, Jill directs Barney down the bar.
JILL:
He's had more than a few already.
DETECTIVE SEAN O'HEARNE, around 60, slides off his barstool.
Grossly overweight, blotchy salmon red complexion.
O'HEARNE
You see that review in the papertoday? Not bad.
Barney ignores him. O'Hearne places a copy of the infamousbook he's written "WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE" on the bar.
O'HEARNE (CONT'D)
That's for you. I even signed it.
Barney opens the book - dumps a handful of peanuts on thepage, POUNDS it shut with his fist, then flips it back openand starts eating from the cracked nuts.
WHITE 10-23-09 10.
O'HEARNE (CONT'D)
Why do you have to be like that? I
wrote a nice little note to you.
O'Hearne slides the book back over to himself and clumsilyflips to his hand written inscription. He's very drunk.
O'HEARNE (CONT'D)
"To Barney, none of this would havebeen possible without you. All the
best, Detective Sean O'Hearne".
BARNEY:
What the hell are you doing here?
O'HEARNE
This is a big day. I thought I'dbuy you a drink, share in the moment,
be a "mensch", like you might say.
