WILL
They’’re all sleepin’’ now.
(a beat, to Chuckie)
Let me get those keys.
CUT TO:
INT. FACULTY CLUB -- NIGHT
A cocktail party is underway. Professors mingle with
representatives from high tech companies. Lambeau stands
holding a drink and surrounded by several RECRUITERS.
Apparently he’’s the star of the show.
RECRUITER #1
What I want to know, Gerry, is when we
get to meet this wonder-boy.
LAMBEAU
We’’re still working together, the boy’’s
a little rough.
RECRUITER #2
We’’ve got our share of eccentric
geniuses at Tri-tech. We know how to
deal with that.
RECRUITER #3
I think we all do.
Laughter.
RECRUITER #1
If you’’re not exaggerating, Gerry--
LAMBEAU
Was I exaggerating in nineteen eighty-
four when I told you I’’d win the Field’’s
medal within two years?
More laughter.
RECRUITER #1
In that case the boy could run shipping
for us, routing--
RECRUITER #2
You say he doesn’’t have a diploma, but
we’’ll--
RECRUITER #1
I don’’t need to see a driver’’s license.
I can think of three departments right
now that he could head up for us.
LAMBEAU
At ease, gentlemen. We’’re looking
carefully at all our options.
RECRUITER #3
All right, Gerry. Close to the vest.
(gives him his card)
Good luck with these vultures.
He walks off.
CUT TO:
INT. TIMMY’’S TAP -- DAY
Timmy’’s Tap is a local watering hole, not unlike the L Street Bar.
Sean is at the bar, telling a joke to TIMMY (45) the owner of
the place, and several other REGULARS.
SEAN
So she goes runnin’’ up the aisle and I
figure "fuck it" and I yell out "don’’t
forget the coffee!
The men erupt in laughter. MARTY, one of the regulars pipe up.
MARTY
Bullshit! You didn’’t say that!
Timmy and Sean exchange a look.
TIMMY
Jesus Christ, Marty. It’’s a joke.
Lambeau enters, a bit overdressed in his sport coat and tie.
SEAN
Gerry! Any trouble finding the place?
LAMBEAU
Not at all.
SEAN
Timmy this is Gerry, an old friend of
mine. We went to college together.
TIMMY
Good to meet you.
LAMBEAU
Pleasure to meet you.
SEAN
Could we get a couple of sandwhiches?
(beat, smiles)
Put it on my tab.
Sean heads towards a table.
TIMMY
You ever plan on payin’’ your tab?
SEAN
(pulls out lottery ticket)
I got the winning numbers right here.
