Noise Page #2

Synopsis: In long flashbacks, David Owen looks back to when he lived in Manhattan with his wife and baby. The unnecessary noises of the city interrupt his life to the point that he takes a baseball bat to the windshield of cars whose alarms are blaring. After a few arrests, his wife kicks him out. On his own, he learns to avoid arrest and leaves a calling card as "The Rectifier" when he breaks into an offending car. Gruska, an enterprising young reporter, tracks him down. He tells her his story, they become lovers, and she organizes a petition drive for a ballot initiative to ban car alarms. The mayor becomes the Rectifier's bête noire. Can David fight City Hall and win?

Sorry, no.

Lavinia, Constable Reichelt

has managed to get your things.

There you go, Lavie.

Where's

my picture?

My photo. I had

a framed photo.

- What photograph?

- That's all they gave me.

That had

my name on it.

Oh god,

he knows my name.

- No, he doesn't.

- Oh god, he knows my name.

- Lavinia!

- Oh f***, he knows my name!

- Sh*t! No no no!

- Lavinia, no.

I'm f***ed now. You guys

are fine but I'm f***ed.

Oh f***.

Okay, I'm just gonna

pop this in your ear.

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Yes, it's Dr. Milner

here from audiology.

Can I speak to

Dr. Searson please?

You like your work here,

do you, Graham?

sorry?

- You enjoy police work?

It's all right,

most of it.

No, it's good.

And everything's

all right at home?

- Hmm?

- No trouble at home?

No, not really.

What's... Sorry, the young lass

you had in here on open day?

- Caitlin.

- Kate-Lynn, right.

- How's she? Still with the band?

- Yep.

They're rehearsing for the

carols thingy at the moment.

Oh good.

So everything's

all right?

- Hmm?

- Everything's fine?

- Mm-hmm.

- So what's your f***ing problem?

Sorry?

You just told me how

you don't mind the work

And everything's

fine at home.

And I just don't

see that, frankly.

Now I'm gonna put

something to you

'cause I'm interested

in your thoughts on this.

During the course of performing

your duties yesterday evening,

You fell over going

up an escalator

And sadly you bumped your

head while riding an escalator.

Sorry, sir, could I ask

you to sign this?

I'm assuming these

escalators are similar

To the ones they've got

at Chadstone Plaza.

Are they similar to the ones

they've got at Chadstone Plaza?

And what's... Tin...

Tinnitus?

What's tinnitus?

It's like a ringing

in my ears.

Right.

Okay.

- That's a legitimate

doctor's certificate.

- I'm sure it is, Graham.

That's a legal

document.

You're legally obliged

to process that.

There's two of them. You're not

telling me how to do my job, are you?

No, I'm not. I'm just saying.

Sounds a little bit like you are.

I'm just saying, that's

a doctor's certificate.

And as such, will be duly

processed in the fullness of time.

Jesus.

- I could have a tumor.

- Fine.

You get me a doctor's certificate

that says that and I'll look into it.

The information currently at

hand is you've bumped your head.

- Grab a pen.

- I've got a photocopy of that, sir.

You can photocopy

your a**hole, Graham,

But you're an idiot if you think

it's gonna change my roster.

Hey.

Yep, mm-hmm.

Set.

Set.

Mm-hmm.

Set.

Just move

to the left.

- Mm-hmm.

- Okay.

Police have released

a likeness of the man

They believe responsible
