CONTINUED: (re: target) COLIN(CONT'D)<br />
You're drifting.<br />
DANNY<br />
(reloading)<br />
Am I?<br />
COLIN<br />
Looks like it. You're using the<br />
*<br />
Beretta 92F. Good weapon. The new<br />
*<br />
96 will be out soon. Ambidextrous<br />
*<br />
manual safety. But you'll know<br />

(eyes Danny)<br />
I guess you probably know why<br />

DANNY<br />
I guess I probably do. But then<br />

Ruth is watching, enrapt. There’s tea on a small table. One<br />
cup. A doorbell chimes. Ruth looks out of the window to see<br />
MALCOLM is out there, loitering furtively.<br />
She ushers him in - "it's open". He comes to the living room<br />
door and pauses politely. He's holding a Jiffy Bag.<br />
MALCOLM<br />
I'm off to curling club this<br />
afternoon, I wondered if you ...<br />
RUTH<br />
