LOLA:

You sound so sure of yourself.

NED:

I'm not as dumb as I look.

LOLA:

Let me buy you a drink, Mr. uh...

NED:

Ravine. Ned Ravine. And you are...?

LOLA:

Thirsty. What about that drink?

NED:

I'm on duty.

LOLA:

Brain surgeon?

NED:

Cop.

LOLA:

Oooo... and I bet you have a big

gun.

NED:

You lose.

Lola looks toward a nearby hot dog vendor.

LOLA:

If I can't buy you a drink...

(nods toward vendor)

...let me buy you one of those.

NED:

Who can say no to a weiner?

LOLA:

Not me.

Lola turns to the hot dog VENDOR, raising two fingers.

LOLA:

Two dogs. Hot.

She takes them... hands one to Ned. He picks up the plastic

mustard container to put mustard on her hot dog first.

NED:

You come here often?

LOLA:

Only when I'm in heat.

Ned REACTS to this, squeezing the container. A stream of

mustard squirts out, hitting the front of Lola's dress.

NED:

Oh! Sorry.

Flustered, he stuffs his hot dog into his inside jacket

pocket, then tries to wipe the mustard off Lola's dress,

smearing it all over her, making it worse. She watches him

with a cool, detached gaze as he fumbles ingenuously.

Suddenly, Ned stops, looking off. He sees... Milo Crumley

going into the PUBLIC RESTROOM. Ned starts to leave. Lola

grabs his hand, holding it tightly against her breast.

LOLA:

Where ya going?

NED:

Get something to wipe it off.

LOLA:

That's okay. You're doing just fine.

NED:

I'll get you a wet paper towel.

He heads for the men's room... signaling to Arch, who's

waiting in line at the Nacho stand. Arch motions at the long

line... all UNIFORMED COPS... shrugging helplessly.

INT. MEN'S ROOM ON PIER - NIGHT

Several MEN are at the urinals. Milo, still wearing the panty

hose over his head, washes his face at the sink. He looks

up, sees Ned enter. Ned sees Milo... reacts, pulling the

frankfurter out of his pocket and pointing it.

NED:

Hold it right there, Milo!

The Men turn, seeing Ned pointing the frankfurter.

RESTROOM PATRON:

Look out! He's got a weenie!

Milo bolts, slamming into Ned, knocking him back through the

door of a stall, into the lap of the MAN inside.

EXT. MEN'S ROOM - NIGHT

Milo bursts out, colliding with Arch. They both go down in a

flurry of Nacho chips and cheese. Arch helps Milo to his

feet, apologizing profusely... picking up the gun that Milo

dropped, handing it back to him. Milo sprints off down the

pier.

A beat later, Ned bursts out the door... dashing after Milo.

ANGLE - ALONG THE PIER

Milo runs frantically, knocking people aside! He ducks into...

INT. BUMPER CAR PAVILION - NIGHT

...and drags a FLUSTERED MAN out of a bumper car, jumps in,

and speeds away!

A beat later, Ned runs up, followed by Arch. Ned flashes his

badge at a FRECKLE-FACED KID in one of the bumper cars.
