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.
