EXT. VICTORY HOTEL - NIGHT<br />
Hair dripping wet, Bud makes it to his car. The tires<br />
spit gravel as he tears away. Dudley appears in the<br />
doorway, watching curiously. As cauliflower continues to<br />
SCREAM...<br />
INT. BUD'S PACKARD - 1736 NOTTINGHAM (LYNN'S) - NIGHT<br />
Bud watches Lynn Bracken's apartment, Colored lights<br />
play on the windows. Shadows pass. Finally the front<br />
door opens. There's Veronica Lake, all sparkles and<br />
spangles, kissing another distinguished gentleman<br />
goodnight. Bud watches the man into a waiting limo. As<br />
it pulls away...<br />
INT. 1736 NOTTINGHAM (LYNN BRACKEN'S) - LIVING ROOM -<br />
NIGHT<br />
Now Lynn just looks tired. As she puts away Scotch<br />
bottles and picks up empty glasses, there's a KNOCK on<br />
the door. Lynn sighs, be<strong>com</strong>e sultry Veronica Lake before<br />
our eyes.<br />
INT. FRONT HALL - NIGHT<br />
LYNN<br />
(opening door)<br />
Did you forget some --<br />
Bud stands there, filling up the door frame.<br />
LYNN<br />
I wondered when you might ring the<br />
bell again, Officer White.<br />
It's Bud.<br />
BUD<br />
Bud looks at Lynn a moment, then down at his own feet.<br />
Embarrassed. She smiles.<br />
LYNN<br />
You should see yourself. You look<br />
like you're ten years old.<br />
Bud looks back up. Lynn's smile fades as she studies his<br />
face. She's not going to ask questions. Lynn looks at<br />
him a moment more, then runs a hand through the blonde<br />
hair covering one eye.<br />
LYNN<br />
If you'd called first, I wouldn't<br />
look this ridiculous.
