OTHER SIDE OF G<strong>LA</strong>SS<br />

Exley clenches his fist in victory. The Chief continues.<br />

CHIEF<br />

Ace them at the grand jury<br />

tomorrow, son. Wear the smartlooking<br />

suit and ace them. And,<br />

Ed? Lose the glasses.<br />

INT. ROOM 114 (GRAND JURY WITNESS ROOM) - DAY<br />

Glasses off, Exley waits, looks up as Jack enters.<br />

JACK<br />

You're the key witness?<br />

That's right.<br />

EXLEY<br />

JACK<br />

I should've known. What's the<br />

Chief throwing you?<br />

THROWING ME?<br />

EXLEY<br />

JACK<br />

Yeah, Exley. What's the payoff?<br />

EXLEY<br />

You're the payoff expert. I'm<br />

just doing my duty.<br />

JACK<br />

You're playing an angle, college<br />

boy. You're getting something out<br />

of this so you don't have to<br />

hobnob with the fucking rank and<br />

file cops who'll hate your guts<br />

for snitching. If they're making<br />

you a detective, watch out. Some<br />

Bureau guys are gonna burn in this<br />

and you're gonna have to work with<br />

friends of theirs.<br />

EXLEY<br />

What about you?<br />

JACK<br />

I'm snitching three old timers<br />

who'll be fishing in Oregon next<br />

week. Next to you I'm clean. And<br />

smart.<br />

At that, a CLERK steps in from the hallway.
