END OF MONTAGE<br />
EXT. HOLLYWOOD HIGH SCHOOL - DAY<br />
The marquee gushes: "Today Sgt. Joe Reno: Badge of<br />
Honor Star Brett Chase."<br />
INT. HOLLYWOOD HIGH SCHOOL - AUDITORIUM - DAY<br />
A nerdy 14-YEAR-OLD asks Brett Chase:<br />
14-YEAR-OLD<br />
Why'd you be<strong>com</strong>e a policeman?<br />
CHASE<br />
I'm not a policeman. I just play<br />
one on television. But I think I<br />
can answer for them. To help<br />
people. That's why I do the show.<br />
Chase looks over and winks at Jack who waits in the<br />
wings.<br />
CHASE<br />
To protect and serve. It's not<br />
just a motto.<br />
As the kids applaud, Chase joins Jack who gives him a<br />
quick drag of a cigarette. A nervous PA joins them.<br />
Chase points out a fetching girl in the second row.<br />
CHASE<br />
That one. In the sweater.<br />
(to Jack)<br />
They also serve who only stand and<br />
wait.<br />
Chase and Jack watch the PA ask "Sweater" a question<br />
while pointing to Chase. Maybe sixteen, she nods "yes"<br />
eagerly.<br />
CHASE<br />
Jack, I'll see you Monday on set.<br />
JACK<br />
I won't be there. They're toning<br />
down my profile.
