So does Jack.<br />

EXLEY<br />

I've given up angles for awhile.<br />

I just want to solve this thing.<br />

JACK<br />

The Nite Owl was solved,<br />

Lieutenant.<br />

EXLEY<br />

I want to do it right.<br />

JACK<br />

Okay, college boy, I'll help you.<br />

But I want half the collar.<br />

EXLEY<br />

A third. I don't think we can<br />

make a case without Bud White.<br />

EXT. BROWN DERBY - DAY<br />

A Packard pulls up out front. Bud gets out, heads<br />

inside. Another car pulls up across the street.<br />

CLOSE ON JACK<br />

Watching Bud. Jack gets out, starts across the street.<br />

INT. BROWN DERBY - BAR - DAY<br />

him. Stompanato isn't happy about it, but he smiles<br />

STOMPANATO<br />

BUD<br />

I ain't your paesano, you wop<br />

cocksucker.<br />

Nervous, Johnny taps his pinkie ring on a bottle of beer.<br />

Patchett.<br />

Johnny taps his ring harder. The bottle almost tips.
