Enemy of the State Page #2

L.T.

I don't under--

DEAN:

The Union's trying to railroad you

into accepting terms worse than

what you have now.

L.T.

Why would the Union--

DEAN swivels around in his chair and faces L.T.

DEAN:

Because they've been paid off by

Bellmoth.

L.T.

Mr. Dean--

DEAN:

My name's Bobby. I'm your lawyer.

Don't do anything 'till I talk to you.

DEAN gets up and walks a grateful L.T. to the door,

calling to his secretary as they go--

DEAN (CONT'D)

(calling)

Martha!

MARTHA appears in the doorway...

DEAN (CONT'D)

Larry Spinks, St. Lukes. Send him a

case of chianti from the firm. And

send his wife Rosalie some flowers.

EXT. RESTAURANT - DAY

RACHEL:

How's the trout?

DEAN:

It tastes like fish.

RACHEL:

It is fish.

DEAN:

I mean it tastes like every other

fish I've ever had. Every fish

tastes the same.

RACHEL:

Do you like fish?

DEAN:

Not that much.

DEAN dines in a booth with RACHEL BANKS, 30's. RACHEL

opens her briefcase, removing an 8x10 envelope.

RACHEL:

Here's what you asked for. Brill's

note said it was everything you'd

need to, shall we say, coax DePinto--

DEAN:

When do I get to meet him?

RACHEL:

DePinto?

DEAN:

Brill.

RACHEL:

Never.

DEAN:

That wasn't the answer I was hoping

for.

RACHEL:

What answer were you--

DEAN is reaching inside his jacket pocket. He removes

an envelope marked "BRILL".

DEAN:

"Soon". Or at least sooner than never.

RACHEL:

It's how he works.

DEAN:

Brill?

RACHEL:

Yes.

DEAN:

So you've said.

DEAN hands her the envelope.

DEAN (CONT'D)

Ten thousand cash. I don't know if

it's Brill's prices going up or

your commission.
