The monied johns watch horny as hell as "Ginger Rogers"<br />

EXT. POLICE HEADQUARTERS - DAY<br />
Reporters scribble as the Chief speaks. Uniforms<br />

CHIEF<br />
Edmund J. Exley has amassed a<br />
brilliant record in his seven<br />
years with the L.A.P.D. Recently<br />
he evinced spectacular bravery in<br />
the line of duty. It is my honor<br />
to present him with our highest<br />
honor, the Medal of Valor.<br />
Exley steps up. The Chief hangs a gold medallion around<br />
his neck. Flashbulbs pop as the two men shake hands.<br />
Exley then accepts a handshake from Dudley. The<br />
policemen stand on cue, applaud without enthusiasm.<br />
Dudley lifts the medal from his chest.<br />

Exley uses the noise to have aprivate chat with Dudley.<br />

Matched forensically. A few loose<br />
ends don't matter.<br />
EXLEY<br />
Something's wrong. I feel it<br />
inside. Doesn't that sound crazy?<br />
Dudley puts an arm around Exley's shoulder, smiles out as<br />
more bulbs flash.
