STENS<strong>LA</strong>ND<br />
Don't look so down in the mouth,<br />
Bud. You nailed him good.<br />
BUD<br />
Yeah, sure... I got a couple of<br />
hours before I have to be at the<br />
Victory. Want to grab a beer?<br />
STENS<strong>LA</strong>ND<br />
Rain check me, partner. I got<br />
something big going on tonight.<br />
BUD<br />
What? That new mystery girl<br />
you've been seeing?<br />
STENS<strong>LA</strong>ND<br />
No. I'll tell you sometime. Not<br />
now. Don't want to jinx it. But<br />
it could take the edge off that<br />

STENS<strong>LA</strong>ND<br />
It's confidential, Bud. Like that<br />

INT. HOLLYWOOD STATION - SQUAD ROOM - NIGHT<br />
Exley sits alone in a sea of desks. The SQUAWK BOX<br />
DRONES. Exley squints at the clock on the wall, can't<br />
make it out. He takes his glasses from the inside of his<br />
jacket. 2:00 A.M. Finally, something to do. He walks<br />
to the wall calendar, tears off Feb. 28 to reveal Mar. 1.<br />
As Exley sits, the call SQUAWK BOX booms to life.<br />
VOICE<br />
