Winston inspects the Fed Ex box on the table.
WINSTON:
I see Lydecker finally sent payment...
Winston unpacks the box to produce a WHISKEY BOTTLE. He
looks at it, puzzled. Holds it up to Chance.
WINSTON (CONT’D)
Whiskey...?
CHANCE:
It’s not whiskey. It’s 30 year old
Yamazaki. It’s a $900 bottle of scotch.
(off Winston’s look)
Hey, that stuff’s not easy to find...
WINSTON:
When I suggested we might keep
transactions quiet by bartering instead
of cash, I assumed you understood I
meant, ‘bartering for things of value’.
(re:
a canvas by the table)This is a Degas. It has great value.
(re:
the whiskey)This is a slow Tuesday night for you.
CHANCE:
(re:
the scotch)Ken Lydecker is a good guy who was in a
bad spot. I figured he could use a break.
(re:
the Degas)That guy... I didn’t much like that guy.

(beat)
Alright, setting aside for the moment
your stunning disregard for our solvency,
there’s a bigger conversation I’ve been
putting off...
(then)
There are a finite number of times you
can cause a mess of that magnitude and
still have clients show up at our door.
CHANCE:
Don’t start... I told you, it was the
only way to stop the guy from killing
Lydecker, along with dozens of bystanders.
WINSTON:
I understand that. What I can’t figure
out is why it got that far. Why not
challenge him at the outset? You said he
hadn’t armed the vest yet, why not disarm
CHANCE:
What do you think, I let it get that far
because I thought it’d be fun?
WINSTON:
I don’t know, mate, you tell me.
CHANCE:
Come on-- I controlled the situation.
WINSTON:
The building explo-
CHANCE:
--exploded, I know, I was there.
(then)
I waited because I felt Lydecker was in
no immediate danger. I let it play out
until I had an angle. When the bomb
went, I got distance, gave myself cover.
I was in control the whole time.
A beat, Winston unable to take that at face value, but
unready to push the issue. Yet. He nods, gets up to leave.
CHANCE (CONT’D)
Where are you headed?
WINSTON:
Peale has a referral he wants me to see.

(4)CHANCE:
I can come.
WINSTON:
No you can’t. Shop stays closed while
you recover. No discussion.
CHANCE:
Hey... Thanks for worrying. But really,
there’s nothing to worry about.
Off Winston, hoping that’s true. He exits.
