        Lylla and Evelyn enter the area as the videotape of Dr.
        Brodey's will ends.

                        JACK
                Special relationship, right?  Like maybe
                special as in conspiracy?

                        TRUDY
                I didn't have anything to do with the will.

                        JACK
                Bull--

                        TRUDY
                It's the first time I've seen the tape.

                        JACK
                Hey, let's see that "special relationship"
                part again . . .

                        LYLLA
                That won't be necessary.

                        JACK
                We got a conspiracy here--

                        TRUDY
                I don't have to listen to this.

                        JACK
                You're not going anywhere.

                        TRUDY
                Let go of me!

                        LYLLA
                Jack, just take it easy, okay?

                        JACK
                Look, maybe you don't want to prove how I've
                been conspired against by this freaked out
                sister of mine but--

                        LYLLA
                We've got a bigger problem here -- Angelo took
                the matre'd hostage--

                        JUSTIN
                Are you serious?

                        LYLLA
                Yang Wolf is working with him.  But somehow
                   Brad got ahold of the gun and--

                        JUSTIN
                They've got a gun over there?

                        LYLLA
                Brad's running the show.  We left Angelo
                trying to figure out what to do.  Is there a
                phone up here?

                        JUSTIN
                No.

                        SUSANNE
                The only one in the ballroom is upfront.

                        JACK
                Why would Angelo take the matre'd hostage?

                        LYLLA
                I thought maybe you could tell me, Jack.
                Apparently the drug deal backfired.  Or
                perhaps he was double-crossed.

                        JACK
                Look, for the last time, I don't do deals with
                Angelo, okay?  If somebody blackmailed him, it
                wasn't me.

                        JUSTIN
                If Brad has the gun, maybe it was Brad.

                        LYLLA
                Wolf is definitely in cahoots with Angelo.
                What are they up to, Jack?

                        TRUDY
                Where's Maxine?

                        LYLLA
                I haven't seen her lately.

                        TRUDY
                She may be dealing drugs herself.

                        EVELYN
                According to her, you are.

                        TRUDY
                She'd say something like that.

                        EVELYN
                In competition with Jack.

                        TRUDY
                Maxine is deranged.

                        LYLLA
                I'm beginning to think she isn't the only one.

                        JACK
                That aimed at me, is it?

                        LYLLA
                No.  I meant that this entire evening could've
                come from the funny farm.  Who isn't dealing
                drugs, for example?

                        JACK
                Me.  Not here.  You say Brad's got the gun and
                the drugs?

                        LYLLA
                Last I looked.  Be nice to get it away from
                him.  Will he listen to you?

                        JACK
                You mean, you want me to go over there?  Fat
                chance.  Brad's real nervous right now, I
                wouldn't trust him with a gun.

                        EVELYN
                Well, he has it.  Unless Angelo manages to get
                it back.

                        JUSTIN
                Might there be another weapon up here
                somewhere?  You'd think they'd have one in
                case of an emergency.

                        LYLLA
                You'd think the matre'd would carry one if
                anyone did -- and he isn't.

                        JUSTIN
                You know Brad best, Jack.  What do you think?

                        JACK
                I think he's trying to run off with the drugs.

                        LYLLA
                What drugs?  I mean, from which source -- like
                I said, who isn't dealing around here?

                        JACK
                Drugs is drugs -- if Brad got ahold of some,
                he'll want to split and score.  Why not?  He
                got fired.  Ain't no future for him here.

                        JUSTIN
                Will you talk to him?

                        JACK
                I don't trust him.  I mean, he's been rattled
                all evening.

                        LYLLA
                Because he wanted to break off his
                relationship with you, right?

                        JACK
                I don't have to answer that.  Look, he's not
                going to do anything unless he's pressed.  So
                he has a gun.  We finish and he splits.  We
                still got other business to take care of
                around here -- like getting back to the
                "special relationship" between weirdo here
                and--

                        TRUDY
                I don't have to listen to this.

        She starts away.  Maxine will flee into F as Trudy heads
        off to meet her there. /ex3/ TIME CODE: 65:30

                        JACK
                You'll have to in court!

                        LYLLA
                Let her go, Jack.

                        JACK
                Man, I don't understand you.  You're supposed
                to be on my side.

                        LYLLA
                I am.  We're going to have plenty to go to
                court with, believe me.

                        JACK
                Wouldn't know it by you.

                        LYLLA
                Maybe Jack is right, and Brad is okay as long
                as there's no pressure on him.

                        JUSTIN
                Where does that leave us?

                        LYLLA
                Being patient.

                        JUSTIN
                Patience isn't one of my virtues.

                        LYLLA
                Well, you can always play John Wayne and go
                over there yourself.

                        JUSTIN
                That's exactly what I've been considering.

                        SUSANNE
                Justin, that would be too dangerous.

                        JUSTIN
                If I distracted him, perhaps someone could get
                the gun from him.

                        LYLLA
                If it was Angelo, who's probably trying to
                figure out how to do just that, we may be in
                worse shape than before.  I tend to agree with
                Jack that--

                        JACK
                Thanks heaps.

                        LYLLA
                --that Brad is running scared.  He'll probably
                take off as soon as we can get away.

                        JACK
                Scared as a jack rabbit, you can bet on it.

                        EVELYN
                What a time to be without my recorder.

                        LYLLA
                You'll get your story.

                        EVELYN
                I could've had it live!

                        SUSANNE
                Is that all you can think about is a story?

                        EVELYN
                I'm a professional.

                        SUSANNE
                Our lives could be in danger.

                        LYLLA
                I don't think so, not as long as Brad is in
                control.  It's Angelo who would frighten me.
                We left him down there, hiding and trying to
                figure out how to get his gun back.  Let's
                hope he doesn't figure out how.

                        JUSTIN
                Maybe we should get him over here.

                        LYLLA
                How would you do that?

                        JUSTIN
                I don't know -- go over there and wing it.

                        LYLLA
                Just dying to be a hero, aren't you?

                        JUSTIN
                Well, somebody's got to do something, for
                Christ's sake.  We can't all sit around and
                wait for the wedding to end.

                        LYLLA
                Why not?

                        JUSTIN
                Because-- . . . it's not in my nature to wait.

                                EVELYN
                May I ask a question.

                        LYLLA
                Of course.

                        EVELYN
                What's the goal here?  To get the gun away
                from him?  To make sure the cops are waiting
                outside?  What?

                        JUSTIN
                To make sure justice is done.

                        LYLLA
                To translate that: yes, to get the gun away
                from him, to make the arrests that are proper
                both in regard to the hijacking, if that's the
                proper term, and the drug dealing.

                        EVELYN
                We really don't have very much hard
                information -- except for the gun stuff over
                there.  Why don't I go over and see if I can
                find out what's really going on?

                        JUSTIN
                How in the world do you propose to do that?

                        EVELYN
                By asking for an interview.  It's not as
                ridiculous as it sounds -- I suspect we have
                some pretty big egos at work over there.

                        JUSTIN
                Criminal egos.

                        EVELYN
                Getting your name in the paper is half the
                fun.  I'll promise to tell their side of the
                story.

                        LYLLA
                If it would work, I think it's a great idea.

                        JUSTIN
                My worry is that the police were never called.

                        SUSANNE
                Well, I don't think they were.

                        JUSTIN
                Since the only close phone is up front, we have to
                get to it.  Which means, drawing him away
                somehow.

                        LYLLA
                Would a ruckus do that?

        Richard rushes up  and into the area.
