The BARTENDER walks down the bar to where Jack arrives.<br />
BARTENDER<br />
What'll it be, Jack?<br />
JACK<br />
(pulls out wallet)<br />
A bottle of Scotch.<br />
As the Bartender turns for one, the only bill Jack finds<br />
is the President Grant fifty. The things he's done for<br />
fifty bucks... As he looks up with despair at his<br />
reflection in the bar mirror, the Bartneder sets down a<br />
bottle and shot glass. He plucks the fifty from Jack's<br />
hand.<br />
Jack grabs the bottle and starts out.<br />
BARTENDER<br />
Hey! Your change!<br />
