not to park here.
The attendant is still puzzled.
ATTENDANT
You, uh…… I’’m sorry, sir, but -
CARL
I decided not to - I’’m, uh, not
taking the trip as it turns out.
ATTENDANT
I’’m sorry, sir, we do have to
charge you the four dollars.
CARL
I just pulled in here. I just
fucking pulled in here!
ATTENDANT
Well, see, there’’s a minimum charge
of four dollars. Long-term parking
charges by the day.
A car behind beeps. Carl glances back, starts digging for
money.
CARL
I guess you think, ya know, you’’re
an authority figure. With that
stupid fucking uniform. Huh, buddy?
The attendant doesn’’t say anything.
CARL
…… King Clip-on Tie here. Big
fucking man.
He is peeling off one dollar bills.
CARL
…… You know, these are the limits
of your life, man. Ruler of your
little fucking gate here. There’’s
your four dollars. You pathetic
piece of shit.
GUSTAFSON OLDS GARAGE
Jerry is staring up, mouth agape, at the underside of a car
on a hydraulic lift. Bewildered, he looks about, then asks
a mechanic passing by, his voice raised over the din of the
shop.
JERRY
Where’’s Shep?
The mechanic points.
MECHANIC
Talkin’’ to a cop.
Jerry looks.
JERRY
…… Cop?
Marge and Shep face each other at the other end of the floor
in a grimy and cluttered glassed-in cubicle.
MECHANIC
Said she was a policewoman.
Marge and Shep silently talk.
Jerry stares, swallows.
INSIDE THE CUBICLE
MARGE
- Wednesday night?
Shep is shaking his head.
SHEP
Nope.
MARGE
Well, you do reside their at
1425 Fremont Terrace?
SHEP
Yep.
MARGE
Anyone else residing there?
SHEP
Nope.
MARGE
Well, Mr. Proudfoot, this call
came in past three in the morning.
It’’s just hard for me to believe
you can’’t remember anyone calling.
Shep says nothing.
MARGE
…… Now, I know you’’ve had some
problems, struggling with the
narcotics, some other entanglements,
currently on parole -
SHEP
So?
MARGE
Well, associating with criminals,
if you’’re the one they talked to,
that right there would be a
violation of your parole and would
end with you back in Stillwater.
SHEP
Uh-huh.
MARGE
Now, I saw some rough stuff on
your priors, but nothing in the
nature of a homicide……
Shep stares at her.
MARGE
…… I know you don’’t want to be
an accessory to something like
that.
SHEP
Nope.
MARGE
So you think you might remember
who those folks were who called
ya?
