INT. McNEIL PENITENTIARY - VISITOR BOOTH - DAY<br />

Mickey Cohen sits across from visitor Johnny Stompanato.<br />

Cohen is going off the handle.<br />

COHEN<br />

What do you mean Deuce Perkins got<br />

clipped last night?!<br />

STOMPANATO<br />

They shot him in his library.<br />

COHEN<br />

I don't want a floor plan; I want<br />

to know who! Who's taking the<br />

ticket for this, Johnny?<br />

STOMPANATO<br />

Nobody. At least not yet.<br />

COHEN<br />

And what about the merchandise<br />

Deuce was holding for me?<br />

STOMPANATO<br />

Gone. Not a trace.<br />

COHEN<br />

should ask Hedda Hopper!<br />

new member Jack Vincennes arrives late.
