HUDGEONS<br />
Okay so we worked together. It<br />
was an information exchange. I<br />
got him first class collars and he<br />
got me good stories. We were<br />
friends for Chrissakes!<br />
DUDLEY<br />
Alright. We'll drop that line for<br />
now. Next topic. Please <strong>com</strong>ment<br />
on Pierce Patchett.<br />
Bud looks over at mention of the name.<br />
HUDGEONS<br />
You think he had something to do<br />
with Vincennes getting iced?<br />
Dudley sighs, looks to Bud.<br />
DUDLEY<br />
Wendell. I want full and docile<br />
cooperation on all topics.<br />
Hudgeons flinches as Bud steps up, twice Breuning's size.<br />
HUDGEONS<br />
Okay. Okay. Everyone knows<br />
Patchett's worth a boat-load of<br />
greenbacks. From aviation,<br />
freeway construction. But the man<br />
has hobbies, too. He bankrolls B<br />
movies under the table and runs<br />
movie star look-alike hookers.<br />
And try this on: he's rumored to<br />
be a periodic heroin sniffer. All<br />
in all a powerful behind-thescenes<br />
strange-o.<br />
And?<br />
And what?<br />
DUDLEY<br />
HUDGEONS<br />
Bud digs a fist into Hudgeons' gut. As Hudgeons gasps to<br />
get his breath back.<br />
DUDLEY<br />
Reciprocity, Mr. Hudgeons, is the<br />
key to all relationships.<br />
HUDGEONS<br />
He runs call girls. Primo tail.<br />
Fixed up like movie stars.<br />
Bud looms, rests his hands on the back of Hudgeons'<br />
chair. He doesn't like where this is going.
