BB:

schmuck! You schmuck!

He moves toward Tilley.

TILLEY:

Back away from me, do ya hear me?

BB:

Back away? You want me to back

He turns to walk away from Tilley, walks and then turns

TILLEY:

You're a f***ing lunatic!

He goes for BB, jumps him and they both fall on to the

trunk of BB's car. People have started to gather and

immediately jump in and pull BB and Tilley apart.

BB:

You're a madman! Smashes into

me, attacks me... the man is

crazy!

People continue to pull them apart.

He turns back and looks at Tilley.

heavyset man in his 50's, delicately butters his toast,

GIL, who is pouring half a pound of sugar into his coffee,
