PATCHETT<br />
He no longer works for me.<br />
(a beat)<br />
Find Susan's killer, Mr. White.<br />
I'll give you a handsome reward.<br />
WHATEVER YOU DESIRE.<br />
If only Jack had been around to hear that.<br />
BUD<br />
Thanks, but no thanks.<br />
PATCHETT<br />
Against your code?<br />
BUD<br />
I don't have one. Lefferts looked<br />
beat-up Christmas Eve, but didn't<br />
act it. How <strong>com</strong>e?<br />
PATCHETT<br />
Do you care about criminal matters<br />
peripheral to Susan's murder?<br />
No.<br />
BUD<br />
PATCHETT<br />
Then you wouldn't feel obligated<br />
to report them?<br />
That's right.<br />
BUD<br />
PATCHETT<br />
Then listen closely, because I'll<br />
only say this once and if it gets<br />
repeated, I'll deny it. I run<br />
call girls. Lynn Bracken is one<br />
of them and so was Susan Lefferts.<br />
I treat my girls very well. I<br />
have grown daughters, myself, and<br />
I don't like the thought of women<br />
being hurt. I sense you share<br />
this feeling.<br />
BUD<br />
(ignores <strong>com</strong>ment)<br />
Why were Lefferts' eyes black?<br />
PATCHETT<br />
I think she'd been hit in the face<br />
with a tennis racket. She is -was<br />
-- a big doubles fan.<br />
BUD<br />
You wanna go downtown and discuss<br />
this officially?
