RAY
Gloria . . . My new lady friend? I ran down, you know,
to make sure she was OK. What’s up? Where’s, uh...our
friend?
BOB
RAY
John.
I thought his name was Albert.
No, he’s in the john.
Right.
BOB RAY
DREYFUSS
Gentlemen, I forgot that I brought you something.
He goes to his backpack and pulls out a box of a dozen Dunkin’
Donuts.
RAY
Albert, you shouldn’t have!
BOB
But still, it’s so nice that you did!
DREYFUSS
Officers, what are you waiting for? Please—partake!
BOB
Don’t mind if I do . . .
Bob goes to the wall, takes
down the portrait of Lincoln,
and replaces it with the
picture frame in hand, which
contains an unsmiling photo
of the current president.
Both men stare at the new
arrangement. Dreyfuss rushes
back in, out of breath.
