:E6330 (E) - /h2//h3//h4//h9//en5//en14/ TIME CODE: 63:30 Lylla and Evelyn enter the area as the videotape of Dr. Brodey's will ends. JACK Special relationship, right? Like maybe special as in conspiracy? TRUDY I didn't have anything to do with the will. JACK Bull-- TRUDY It's the first time I've seen the tape. JACK Hey, let's see that "special relationship" part again . . . LYLLA That won't be necessary. JACK We got a conspiracy here-- TRUDY I don't have to listen to this. JACK You're not going anywhere. TRUDY Let go of me! LYLLA Jack, just take it easy, okay? JACK Look, maybe you don't want to prove how I've been conspired against by this freaked out sister of mine but-- LYLLA We've got a bigger problem here -- Angelo took the matre'd hostage-- JUSTIN Are you serious? LYLLA Yang Wolf is working with him. But somehow Brad got ahold of the gun and-- JUSTIN They've got a gun over there? LYLLA Brad's running the show. We left Angelo trying to figure out what to do. Is there a phone up here? JUSTIN No. SUSANNE The only one in the ballroom is upfront. JACK Why would Angelo take the matre'd hostage? LYLLA I thought maybe you could tell me, Jack. Apparently the drug deal backfired. Or perhaps he was double-crossed. JACK Look, for the last time, I don't do deals with Angelo, okay? If somebody blackmailed him, it wasn't me. JUSTIN If Brad has the gun, maybe it was Brad. LYLLA Wolf is definitely in cahoots with Angelo. What are they up to, Jack? TRUDY Where's Maxine? LYLLA I haven't seen her lately. TRUDY She may be dealing drugs herself. EVELYN According to her, you are. TRUDY She'd say something like that. EVELYN In competition with Jack. TRUDY Maxine is deranged. LYLLA I'm beginning to think she isn't the only one. JACK That aimed at me, is it? LYLLA No. I meant that this entire evening could've come from the funny farm. Who isn't dealing drugs, for example? JACK Me. Not here. You say Brad's got the gun and the drugs? LYLLA Last I looked. Be nice to get it away from him. Will he listen to you? JACK You mean, you want me to go over there? Fat chance. Brad's real nervous right now, I wouldn't trust him with a gun. EVELYN Well, he has it. Unless Angelo manages to get it back. JUSTIN Might there be another weapon up here somewhere? You'd think they'd have one in case of an emergency. LYLLA You'd think the matre'd would carry one if anyone did -- and he isn't. JUSTIN You know Brad best, Jack. What do you think? JACK I think he's trying to run off with the drugs. LYLLA What drugs? I mean, from which source -- like I said, who isn't dealing around here? JACK Drugs is drugs -- if Brad got ahold of some, he'll want to split and score. Why not? He got fired. Ain't no future for him here. JUSTIN Will you talk to him? JACK I don't trust him. I mean, he's been rattled all evening. LYLLA Because he wanted to break off his relationship with you, right? JACK I don't have to answer that. Look, he's not going to do anything unless he's pressed. So he has a gun. We finish and he splits. We still got other business to take care of around here -- like getting back to the "special relationship" between weirdo here and-- TRUDY I don't have to listen to this. She starts away. Maxine will flee into F as Trudy heads off to meet her there. /ex3/ TIME CODE: 65:30 ?"Follow Trudy" ?"Continue" :"Follow Trudy" >.loadmark[F6600] :"Continue" JACK You'll have to in court! LYLLA Let her go, Jack. JACK Man, I don't understand you. You're supposed to be on my side. LYLLA I am. We're going to have plenty to go to court with, believe me. JACK Wouldn't know it by you. LYLLA Maybe Jack is right, and Brad is okay as long as there's no pressure on him. JUSTIN Where does that leave us? LYLLA Being patient. JUSTIN Patience isn't one of my virtues. LYLLA Well, you can always play John Wayne and go over there yourself. JUSTIN That's exactly what I've been considering. SUSANNE Justin, that would be too dangerous. JUSTIN If I distracted him, perhaps someone could get the gun from him. LYLLA If it was Angelo, who's probably trying to figure out how to do just that, we may be in worse shape than before. I tend to agree with Jack that-- JACK Thanks heaps. LYLLA --that Brad is running scared. He'll probably take off as soon as we can get away. JACK Scared as a jack rabbit, you can bet on it. EVELYN What a time to be without my recorder. LYLLA You'll get your story. EVELYN I could've had it live! SUSANNE Is that all you can think about is a story? EVELYN I'm a professional. SUSANNE Our lives could be in danger. LYLLA I don't think so, not as long as Brad is in control. It's Angelo who would frighten me. We left him down there, hiding and trying to figure out how to get his gun back. Let's hope he doesn't figure out how. JUSTIN Maybe we should get him over here. LYLLA How would you do that? JUSTIN I don't know -- go over there and wing it. LYLLA Just dying to be a hero, aren't you? JUSTIN Well, somebody's got to do something, for Christ's sake. We can't all sit around and wait for the wedding to end. LYLLA Why not? JUSTIN Because-- . . . it's not in my nature to wait. EVELYN May I ask a question. LYLLA Of course. EVELYN What's the goal here? To get the gun away from him? To make sure the cops are waiting outside? What? JUSTIN To make sure justice is done. LYLLA To translate that: yes, to get the gun away from him, to make the arrests that are proper both in regard to the hijacking, if that's the proper term, and the drug dealing. EVELYN We really don't have very much hard information -- except for the gun stuff over there. Why don't I go over and see if I can find out what's really going on? JUSTIN How in the world do you propose to do that? EVELYN By asking for an interview. It's not as ridiculous as it sounds -- I suspect we have some pretty big egos at work over there. JUSTIN Criminal egos. EVELYN Getting your name in the paper is half the fun. I'll promise to tell their side of the story. LYLLA If it would work, I think it's a great idea. JUSTIN My worry is that the police were never called. SUSANNE Well, I don't think they were. JUSTIN Since the only close phone is up front, we have to get to it. Which means, drawing him away somehow. LYLLA Would a ruckus do that? Richard rushes up and into the area. /en6/ TIME CODE: 67:00 ?"Go on" :"Go on" Go on
