DANNY:

Like I said.

JIMMY:

F*** man. Come on, Bobby.

BOBBY:

Bobby, Bobby, Bobby. Rhymes with ...

(he draws a blank)

DANNY:

Hobby?

Bobby twists a smile, revealing speed-blackened teeth.

BOBBY:

That's a good man. I like that.

DANNY:

(calmly)

Hey, Bobby, look .. What you got

going with your old lay, it's none

of our business. We're just a couple

of dope fiends trying to score.

Bobby lowers his speargun.

BOBBY:

Two eight balls?

Jimmy breaths a sigh of relief.

EXT. CHEAP MOTEL ROOM - DAY

Danny and Jimmy exit the room, closing the door behind them. Danny

looks at Jimmy.

DANNY:

Nice dealer you got there, Jimmy.

JIMMY:

Oh ... that. Ah, he was just juiced.

He wouldn't have did nothin'

WHAP, WHAP! Two spears plunge through the cheap door, stopping inches

from Danny's head.

They run like hell.

EXT. SKY - DAY

TIME LAPSE. The sun plunges down. The sky turns black. The moon

races up and down. The sky lightens. The sun races up and down.

Night comes again.

INT. PARTY HOUSE - NIGHT

Everyone crashing. Jonestown, post Kool-Aid. It looks like they have

all simultaneously fallen asleep where they were standing or sitting.

Danny stirs awake. Looks around. He stretches. KNOCKING OVER A

BOTTLE OF BEER.

ALL OTHER SOUND FADES OUT AS the beer SPLATTER to the floor. IT IS

UNNATURALLY LOUD.

DANNY staring intently at the spilling liquid.

The beer pools up on the floor.

Danny transfixed by the image.

The last few drops of beer LOUDLY splashing down.

EXT PAYPHONE - NIGHT

Danny on the phone.

DANNY:

C.I. number 678-43K-107

(beat)

Tanner and Garcetti

He hangs up.

EXT. ALLEY - NIGHT

Danny waiting in the shadows.

A car, sans headlights, pulls into the alley and stops.

Danny emerges from the shadows, opens the back door and lays on the

back seat.

INT. CAR - SAME

Two guys in suits in the front, TANNER and GARCETTI. Tanner. blue eyes

and SHAVED HEAD, an air of ex-military around him. Garcetti: swarthly

and serious, a MIASMA OF BAD-ASS ATTITUDE.

DANNY:

(lying on the back seat)

I've got a hot one.
