Lynn looks across as Bud White heads toward the<br />

counter. Spotting her, Bud doesn't look so tough for a<br />

moment.<br />

OWNER<br />

You want it delivered?<br />

LYNN<br />

Before five tomorrow.<br />

The Owner spots Bud. A big smile turns to a frown.<br />

OWNER<br />

I'll be right with you, Lynn.<br />

The Owner begins indiscriminately loading hard liquor<br />

into a cardboard box, leaving Bud and Lynn to look at<br />

each other. Bud says the only thing he can think of.<br />

BUD<br />

Merry Christmas.<br />

LYNN<br />

Merry Christmas yourself, OFFICER.<br />

BUD<br />

That obvious, huh?<br />

LYNN<br />

(smiles sweetly)<br />

It's practically stamped on your<br />

forehead.<br />

As the Owner bangs a case of liquor on the counter...<br />

EXT. HOLLYWOOD LIQUOR - NIGHT<br />

Bud exits with his booze, heads for the car. Something<br />

catches his eye. A woman in the rear passenger seat of a<br />

new Cadillac. SUSAN LEFFERTS. Both her eyes are black.<br />

Bud starts over. The case on his hip, he motions for her<br />

to roll down the window. The driver's side door opens<br />

and bodyguard TURNER "BUZZ" MEEKS menaces his way out.<br />

MEEKS<br />

Get lost why don't you?<br />

Meeks stops short as Bud shoves his badge in Meeks' face.<br />

Setting the case on the car's hood, Bud spins Meeks<br />

around, pats him down. He finds a .38 in a shoulder<br />

holster.<br />

MEEKS<br />

I got a license for that.<br />

Bud removes Meeks' wallet, checks the ID.
