RIGGS<br />
Sam, every day ... in every way ...<br />
I'm getting better and better.<br />
Opens the box and removes its contents. Brand new color<br />
TELEVISION. Plugs it in. Switches it ON. Sits down<br />
with a bottle of whiskey. Drinks. On the screen, the<br />
Grinch steals Christmas from the residents of Whoville.<br />
29 ANOTHER ANGLE 29<br />
Riggs opens a drawer beside him, and takes out a bottle<br />
of sleeping pills. Picks it up. As he does -- the sound<br />
of the TELEVISION FADES OUT -- silence, dead silence...<br />
As Riggs rolls the bottle in his fingers. Slowly,<br />
thoughtfully, unscrews the cap ... dumps them on the table.<br />
Runs his fingers through them. CLICK... CLICK... Stares.<br />
Mesmerized. RAIN BEATS on the window.<br />
30 EXT. TRAILER 30<br />
The RAIN CONTINUES to hammer the lonely little pit which<br />
Riggs calls home.<br />
CUT TO:<br />
31 L.A.P.D. - MORNING 31<br />
A zoo. A sign reads METRO ROBBERY/HOMICIDE.<br />
Roger Murtaugh sits at his desk, lost in thought.<br />
Behind him, McCASKEY, Class Three Detective. He talks<br />
to Murtaugh:<br />
McCASKEY<br />
See, you're behind the times,<br />
Sarge. Guys in the Eighties<br />
aren't tough. They're sensitive<br />
people. They show emotions around<br />
women and shit like that.<br />
(beat)<br />
I think I'm an Eighties man.<br />
MURTAUGH<br />
How you figure?<br />
McCASKEY<br />
Last night: I cried in bed, so<br />
how's that?<br />
MURTAUGH<br />
Were you with a woman?<br />
McCASKEY<br />
No, I was alone, why the fuck you<br />
think I was crying?<br />
MURTAUGH<br />
Sounds like an Eighties man to me.
