FADE IN
INT. POLICE STATION OFFICE DAY
ALLEN GAMBLE sits at his desk and types on his computer.
As he is typing, TERRY HOITZ enters the room.
TERRY HOITZ
Do you know what I just did?
Allen Gamble stops typing
TERRY HOITZ
I just walked out that door, saw a
couple detectives, and I was about
to start bad mouthing you behind
your back, but i stopped myslef
because my pops taught me that a
man that talks behind somebodys
back, is a coward.
ALLEN GAMBLE
Wow, i actually appreciate that
TERRY HOITZ
Good, because im going to tell you
directly to your face.
ALLEN GAMBLE
(Quietly)
No, you don’t have too
TERRY HOITZ
I don’t like you. I think you’re a
fake cop. The sound of your piss
hitting the urinal, it sounds
feminine.
ALLEN GAMBLE
Mmm
TERRY HOITZ
If we were in the wild,i would
attack you. Even if you wern’t in
my food chain, i would go out of my
way to attack you. If i were a
lion and you were a tuna, i would
swin out to the middle of the ocean
and i would freaking eat you! And
then i’d bang your tuna girlfriend.
ALLEN GAMBLE
Ok, first off, a lion? Swimming in
the ocean? Lions don’t like
water. If you’d placed it near a
river or some fresh water source,
that would make sense. But you
find yourself in the ocean, 20 foot
wave, i’m assuming it’s off the
coast of South Africa, coming up
against a full grown 800 pound
tuna, with his twenty or thirty
friends? You lose that
battle. You lose that battle nine
times out of ten. And guess
what? You’ve wandered into our
school of tuna, and we now have a
taste of lion. We’ve talked to
ourselves. we’ve communicated.
TERRY HOITZ
Yeah?
ALLEN GAMBLE
And said, you know what, lion
tastes good! Lets go get some more
lion. We’ve developed a system, to
establish a beach head, and
aggressivly hunt you and your
family. And we will corner your,
your pride, your childeren, your
offspring.
TERRY HOITZ
How you gonna do that?
ALLEN GAMBLE
We will construct a series of
breathing aparatus with kelp. We
will be able to trap certain
amounts of oxygen. It’s not going
to be days at a time. An hour,
hour fourty five, no problem. That
will give us enough time to figure
out where you live, go back to the
sea, get more oxygen, and then
stalk you. You just lost at your
own game, you are outgunned and
outmanned.
Awkward pause
Allen Gamble resumes typing
ALLEN GAMBLE
Did that go the way you thought it
was gonna go?
Allen shakes head
Nope
Terry dumps hot coffee on Allen.
Allen screams as Terry exits the room.
FADE OUT
