Danni: Now the fun part, sit around and watch one million bucks in a bin!
Mac: How’s it going?
Danni: Well a curious possum came and took a squiz, we don’t think it’s involved!
Stone has just taken out his steroids, then decided against taking them. Angie gets in the car just as he puts them away. They are on surveillance.
Angie: Do you use a deodorant?
Stone: What?
Angie: Do you use, a deodorant?
Stone: Of course I use a deodorant.
Angie: What sort?
Stone: I dunno, one without aluminum, it gives me a rash.
Angie: Well your sweating.
Stone: No I’m not!
Angie: When you’re working in close quarters like this, you should show a little bit more consideration.
Danni drives up. Pete opens the door for her.
Pete: Hi
Danni: Hi. You look like shit!
Pete: Been on the job, just gunna go home and get some shuteye
Danni: Oh, don’t let me hold you up! (Begins to walk away)
Pete: Ah, I just wanted to say something…you know…about the other night. (She leans against the car facing him.) I had a really nice time and I hope you did as well.
Danni: Pete, nothing happened the other night.
Pete: What?
Danni: Nothing happened. Comprente(?)
Pete: If that was nothing can I have some more.
Danni: Okay let me put it this way, what happened, happened, and I don’t regret it, not for a moment, but it’s not gunna happen again. Is that better?
Pete: No.
Danni: Pete we work together, its totally inappropiate. I was drunk and so were you.
Pete: I wasn’t drunk. You weren’t drunk! Not that drunk…
Danni: Okay have a nice snooze. (Begins to walk away)
Pete: Great thank you, thanks a lot.
Angie and Mac are in Mac’s office talking about why Angie is always rostered on with Oscar; they are both drinking coffee.
Ange: …You know Oscar, he can be a bit earnest…Sometimes you’d think we were joined at the hip.
Mac: (Takes a sip of her drink) I used to think you were! (Makes a face that says ‘opps, said to much!’)
Ange: (Looks around while Mac tries not to laugh) We were never an item if that’s what you mean!
Mac: You’re the one doing the talking!
Mac: Oscar is everything okay with you and Angie?
Oscar: Yeah, sure why?
Mac: It’s just something she said?
Stone: About what?
Mac: It was something about working closely together
Stone: (Smiles as he continues moving boxes)
Mac: Anything I should know?
Stone: Not really
Mac: Really?
Stone: Its nothing,
Mac: Come on.
Stone: It’s personal. She doesn’t like my deodorant. You see I ah…I can’t use anything with aluminum in it, it gives me a rash.
Mac: Oh I see.
Stone: So I’m gunna buy a new product.
Mac: Good, but Oscar I don’t think she was talking about your deodorant.
Stone: Oh you’d be surprised
Mac: On the work front any tensions?
Stone: None at all.
Mac: Personally?
Stone: Well she’s always fancied me, but I don’t let that be a problem!
Mac: Mmm, good. Really though, would you prefer to work with someone else?
Stone: Well… Angie is a bit wooly, politically speaking, a little bit left of center? So… yeah, maybe someone with a little bit more steal and sense of target might help!
Angie is sitting at her computer, typing, when Oscar comes over and sits on her desk. Danni is in the background sorting through some papers.
Stone: What do ya think?
Angie: (Shakes her head and keeps typing)
Stone: Notice anything different?
Angie: (Looks up and shakes her head.)
Stone: Well what about if I move in a little bit closer?
Angie: (Smiles strangely at him.)
Stone: It’s a new concept, no alcohol, no aluminum. Manner-hyme (?)
Danni: Would you like me to make myself scarce?
Oscar: Now Danni you’re a very disconcerting woman. What do you think?
Ange: He wants to know what you think of his new deodorant!
Danni: Oh right! Nifty…
Stone: Well I’ve been working out a lot, sweating a lot. The old stick just wasn’t doing the job!
Danni: Congratulations. (Walks to the desk opposite Angie, rolling her eyes.)
Stone: Well you know it’s the little things in life that matter.
(Danni gives Ange a worried look, raising her eyebrows!)
Ange: Right. (Walks off)
Pete has just found something out, from Ange. Danni is leaning against a doorway.
Danni: You onto something loverboy? Sorry that was inappropriate.
Pete: (He walks up and stands close to her, then looks around to see if anyone’s listening) It doesn’t have to be inappropriate!
Danni: Can we start this again?
Pete: Sure, let’s pretend it never happened ay!
Danni: Ok.
Pete: That way we’ve got it all ahead of us! (Smiles!)
Danni: I deserve this don’t I.
Pete: (Laughs.) You never called me loverboy before.
Danni: Oh come on Pete, stop it! Just let it go it’s not funny all right. (He’s laughing) Come on, its impossible.
Pete: All right I’m sorry I just don’t know how to stop! Not another word. (Starts to walk past her)
Danni: All right.
Pete: Still, you can’t blame a bloke for tryin ay! (Walks past her and hits her on the butt.)
Pete has just gotten a new car; the insurance company paid up! He drives up in it and Danni comes out to see.
Danni: I don’t s’pose there’s any chance of my getting behind the wheel?
Pete: Less than zero!
Danni: Can’t blame a girl for trying!
Pete: Guess not.
Danni: So if I buy you a beer can you be trusted?
Pete: Absolutely not.
Danni: Come on Pete, I’m just trying to give us a chance to redeem ourselves, get back to the way we were.
Pete: Fine by me where d’you wanna go? The bull and unique? (??)
Danni: (Smiles at him.)
Pete: It didn’t happen, it won’t happen, it can never happen again, swear to God.
Danni: Good. (Walks off)
(Camera shot shows Pete with his fingers crossed behind his back!)
