Ghost Ship Page #5

MURPHY:

As I said, what seems to be the

trouble?

RIVETER:

Didn't you hear me, grandpa? Or you

got your hearing aid turned down?

MURPHY:

I heard you. But I'm choosing to

ignore you. Epps, let's go.

Epps starts forward but the Riveter stands in her way, taking

Murphy by the collar.

RIVETER:

These ladies was having themselves a

discussion and you're interrupting

it.

MURPHY:

You got about two seconds to get

your paws off me, Tarzan.

RIVETER:

Or what?

Or WHACK! Murphy can't help but wince as a pool cue breaks

in two over the Riveter's head.

Dodge, cigarette in his mouth, takes a look at the cue half

he still holds, shaking his head.

The Riveter's hands fall from Murphy's collar and his legs

buckle. Some of his BUDDIES hold him up as Greer reminds

some of the others he's holding a pool cue of his own.

MURPHY:

Epps?

He looks to Epps like let's get the hell out of here. She

grabs her coat.

COASTGUARDSMAN:

Wait.

Epps holds there as the Coastguardsman steps up to his

girlfriend.

COASTGUARDSMAN:

Darlene. It's over.

He gives her the ring from his finger. Murphy rolls his eyes

as the others look on.

COASTGUARDSMAN:

I don't love you anymore.

Darlene breaks into tears as they all look on, some pat her

on the back.

COASTGUARDSMAN:

(to Epps)

Come on, Candy. Let's get out of

here.

The Coastguardsman takes her by the hand. Epps looks to Murphy

and the others as he leads her out.
