Dave Page #4

---

The child doesn't respond at first. Dave moves a little

closer to the boy.

DAVE:

Don't you have a name?

CHILD (KID)

(sniffling)

... Sam.

DAVE:

(soothingly)

Hi, Sam... You want a riddle?

The Kid thinks for a second then nods. He wipes some stuff

off his nose.

DAVE:

Okay. What can run all day without

getting tired?

The Kid ponders it for a moment.

DAVE:

(leaning closer)

Well come on, Sam. It's not your

jar...

Dave touches the Kid's ear as his eyes suddenly light up.

SAM (KID)

My nose?

DAVE:

Right. !!!

Dave reaches up and "magically" produces a quarter from the

side of the child's nose. He beams with delight as Dave hands

him the coin.

CUT TO:

EXT. BALTINORE STREET - DAY

Dave hurries down the busy sidewalk clutching a beat-un

briefcase and his Uncle Sam hat. In civilian clothes, with

his tousled hair, no one even notices that he looks like the

President. Dave ducks into a small storefront office with a

simple sign above it:

"KOVIC TEMPS"

"Like we've been there forever"

INT. DAVE'S OFFICE

The place is small and cluttered and very well lived in.

Dave's secretary and ex-wife, ALICE, is kissing her boyfriend

JERRY goodbye.

JERRY:

Six-thirty?

ALICE:

Perfect.

JERRY:

Great, I'll see you then.

He blows her another kiss and turns to the door just as Dave

bounds into the room.

JERRY:

Hi, Dave.

DAVE:

(buoyant)

Hi, .....

He hangs up his coat and turns to Alice as Jerry leaves the

room.

DAVE:

(hanging up his coat)

It went great, Alice. I killed em

down there.

ALICE:

Yeah? Why don't you see what you *)

can do in here.

DIFFERENT ANGLE:

Dave turns around to see three women

stacked up in his waiting area.

DAVE:

(renewed energy)

No problem. What `ve we got?

ALICE:

(rattling it off)

Mabel says it's too far on the bus.

Jennifer's boss tried to hit on her

again and Lola's been crying in your

office for an hour.
