BUD<br />
No, sir. I won't.<br />
The Chief sighs, looks to Loew.<br />
CHIEF<br />
District Attorney Loew.<br />
Loew steps to Bud, holds up a newspaper with the cell<br />
block photo. The headline: "BLOODY CHRISTMAS."<br />
LOEW<br />
Bloody Christmas. The press love<br />
to label. You and Officer<br />
Stensland brought the liquor into<br />
the precinct. Stensland was<br />
already drunk. Do you see how<br />
appearing as a voluntary witness<br />
against him could offset the<br />
damage you've done to yourself?<br />
BUD<br />
I won't do it.<br />
(staring at mirror)<br />
I won't testify against my partner<br />
or anyone else.<br />
LOEW<br />
This man is a disgrace.<br />
CHIEF<br />
Your badge and gun, Officer.<br />
Bud sets them on The Chief's desk.<br />
CHIEF<br />
This is the new L.A.P.D., White.<br />
You're suspended from duty and<br />
dismissed.<br />
Turning, White shoots the mirror a stiff middle finger as<br />
he makes his way out. Dudley Smith hides a smile.<br />
OTHER SIDE OF G<strong>LA</strong>SS<br />
Exley watches, involuntarily leans back as Bud passes on<br />
the other side of the glass.<br />
THE CHIEF'S OFFICE<br />
Dudley, Loew and The Chief wait as Exley enters.<br />
CHIEF<br />
Ed, your observations have been<br />
astute. What's your assessment of<br />
this situation?
