INT. SAM’S OFFICE – CONTINUOUS
The phone starts ringing on Sam’s desk. He answers it.
SAM
Yeah?
CHERYL (O.S.)
There’s a Martin here to see you. He said you’d want to see him.
SAM
Okay.
Sam hangs up the phone.
SAM
Will you excuse me please?
CLIENT
Sure.
Sam gets up and exits his office.
INT. WAITING ROOM – CONTINUOUS
Sams enters.
SAM
What the hell are you doing here?
MARTIN
You tell me, Sam.
SAM
I paid you. Get the hell out of my office.
MARTIN
You see, that’s where I’m confused. I talked to Jimmy and he says you never paid.
There’s several seconds of silence.
SAM
What?
MARTIN
He says you never paid. I don’t know what you’re talking about you paid. Are you trying to cheat us?
SAM
Hey, I dropped off the money where Jimmy, or you, told me to. After that, I’m not responsible.
MARTIN
Where did you drop it off.
SAM
Down by the Hart Plaza, where I was told.
MARTIN
Who told you?
SAM
I thought it was you, but it must have been Jimmy.
MARTIN
You didn’t ask?
SAM
Jimmy’s the only person I owe money to and that would fucking call me at three in the morning.
MARTIN
Look, I don’t know what’s going on, but you owe us and Jimmy is not going to take that bullshit for an answer. You better come up with the money.
SAM
Hey, someone called me and it was one of you guys. Someone is either trying to fuck me or fuck Jimmy and that caller sounded just like you.
Martin slaps Sam across the face.
MARTIN
Watch what you say. I know you and I respect you, but we never told you to drop it off anywhere but in our hands. If you’re too stupid to find out who’s calling you or speak to us directly, then that’s on you, not us. I’ll give you two more days to come up with our money. And that’s being very generous.
Martin exits.
