BUD<br />
There are no rules! Why the fuck<br />
are you doing this? The Nite Owl<br />
made you. You want to tear all<br />
that down.<br />
EXLEY<br />
With a wrecking ball. You want to<br />
help me swing it?<br />
Bud smiles. For a second he likes Exley.<br />
EXLEY<br />
Let's go see Pierce Patchett. Run<br />
a good-cop-bad-cop.<br />
BUD<br />
Which one are you and which one am<br />
I?<br />
EXT. 1184 GRETNA GREEN (PIERCE PATCHETT'S) - DAY<br />
Exley and Bud make their way up the walk. Bud pulls his<br />
.38 from its shoulder holster, shoves it in his<br />
waistband.<br />
FRONT DOOR<br />
EXLEY<br />
You expecting problems?<br />
BUD<br />
Patchett uses a lot of ex-cop<br />
muscle.<br />
Exley RINGS the BUZZER. Looking back, Bud sees a<br />
pitching wedge and pile of golf balls abandoned in the<br />
grass. A single ball floats in the koi pond. Bud's eyes<br />
narrow at the sight. Not like Patchett at all.<br />
Come on.<br />
BUD<br />
And Bud shoulders the heavy door right off its hinges.<br />
INT. 1184 GRETNA GREEN - HALLWAY - DAY<br />
Bud draws his .38 as he strides in. Exley tries to keep up.<br />
What?<br />
EXLEY<br />
(a screaming<br />
whisper)<br />
Double doors on the left open into a library. Bud stops<br />
short, slowly lowers his gun. Exley steps up beside him.
