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?
