　　CHUCKIE （cont’’d）
　　Look， we can do this the easy way or
　　the hard way.
　　
　　The executives are completely blank.
　　
　　CHUCKIE （cont’’d）
　　At the current time I am looking at a
　　number of different fields from which
　　to disseminate which offer is most
　　pursuant aid to my benefit.
　　（a beat）
　　What do you want？ What do I want？
　　What does anybody want？ Leniency.
　　
　　EXECUTIVE
　　I’’m not sure--
　　
　　CHUCKIE
　　--These circumstances are mitigated.
　　Right now. They’’re mitigated.
　　
　　Chuckie puts his hands up， as if getting a vibe from the room.
　　
　　EXECUTIVE
　　Okay……
　　
　　Chuckie points to the third executive.
　　
　　CHUCKIE
　　He knows what I’’m talking about.
　　
　　The third executive is baffled.
　　
　　CHUCKIE （cont’’d）
　　A retainer. Nobody in this town works
　　without a retainer. You think you can
　　find someone who does， you have my
　　blessin’’. But I think we all know
　　that person isn’’t going to represent
　　you as well as I can.
　　
　　EXECUTIVE
　　Will， our offer starts you at eighty-
　　four thousand a year， plus benefits.
　　
　　CHUCKIE
　　Retainer……
　　
　　EXECUTIVE
　　You want us to give you cash right
　　now？
　　
　　CHUCKIE
　　Allegedly， what I am saying is your
　　situation will be concurrently improved
　　if I had two hundred sheets in my pocket
　　right now.
　　
　　The executives exchange looks and go for their wallets.
　　
　　EXECUTIVE
　　I don’’t think I……Larry？
　　
　　EXECUTIVE
　　I have about seventy-three……
　　
　　EXECUTIVE
　　Will you take a check？
　　
　　CHUCKIE
　　Come now……what do you think I am， a
　　juvinile？ You don’’t got any money on
　　you right now. You think I’’m gonna
　　take a check？
　　EXECUTIVE
　　It’’s fine， John， I can cover the rest.
　　
　　CHUCKIE
　　That’’s right， you know.
　　（turns to #1）
　　He knows.
　　
　　Chuckie stands up and takes the money.
　　
　　CHUCKIE （cont’’d）
　　（to exec #1）
　　You’’re suspect.
　　I don’’t know what your reputation is，
　　but after the shit you tried to pull
　　today， you can bet I’’ll be looking
　　into it. Any conversations you want
　　to have with me heretofore， you can
　　have with my attourney. Gentlemen，
　　keep your ears to the grindstone.
　　
　　CUT TO:
　　
　　EXT. AU BON PAIN COURTYARD， HARVARD SQUARE -- DAY
　　
　　Will and Skylar sit in the open courtyard of this Harvard Square
　　eatery. Skylar is working on another O-chem lab. Will sits
　　across from her， slightly bored watching her work.
　　
　　WILL
　　How’’s it goin’’？
　　
　　SKYLAR
　　Fine.
　　
　　WILL
　　Want me to take a look？
　　
　　SKYLAR
　　No.
　　
　　WILL
　　C’’mon， give me a peek and we’’ll go to
　　the battin’’ cages.
