Burnett's burning now.

LOWREY:

So, baby. What you wearin'?

BURNETT:

Gimme that phone.

(grabs it)

Hello, Theresa? Theresa!

LOWREY:

Man, it's off. It was a joke.

BURNETT:

Hey, man. Don't mess with me!

That's the mother of my children.

Don't break up a happy home.

A132 INT. SAVE-MORE DRUGS - MORNING (Formerly Sc. 207) A132

Lowrey is annoyed. He holds the list Theresa just gavehim as they walk down the aisle.

LOWREY:

Marcus, this is crazy. We are

five minutes away from pickingup this a**hole and returningto our lives. And we're here

doin' this sh*t. Where the f***

is it?

BURNETT:

Hey. Don't ask me to find it for

you. You're the expert on mywife.

LOWREY:

You know, this is like some reallybizarre sh*t that you're on right

now. Your wife asked me to do

this, and I'm doin' it. Besides,

I'm you, remember?

BURNETT:

You don't even know where you'regoing. You're in the wrong aisle.

Lowrey follows Burnett to the next aisle, where Burnettgestures to the wall of feminine hygiene products.

BURNETT:

You think you know what Theresaneeds, man, but I do this everymonth.

(challenges)

Just look for 'Fresh Days.'

Lowrey moves ahead. There's too much to look at.

LOWREY:

You're unbalanced. Listen, I

read the parole jacket on thisguy Noah. Armed robbery.

Attempted murder. He's a violent

offender somethin' like nine

times. Sweet guy. Not a singledrug bust on his sheet.

BURNETT:

So? He's a new recruit. Keeplooking, will ya? 'Fresh Days.'

LOWREY:

You know, it is a damn shame she

makes you buy this stuff.

BURNETT:

Hey, this what husband's do.

LOWREY:

Terrible f***in' job.

(examining shelves)

It's like shaving cream.

They're all the same. Fresh.

Free. Confident. Secure.

(grabs a box)

Super wide? What the f***? We're

takin' this one.

Burnett snatches Lowrey's box and puts it back on theshelf.

BURNETT:

Hey, man, look! You're not even

reading. These are panty liners,

okay?

A woman chooses this moment to walk by.

BURNETT:

That's a whole 'nother categoryof thing! Man, for a guy thatspends all his time chasingpussy, you sure don't know muchabout the woo woo.

(beat)

Here it is. Fresh Days. You

pay for it.

132 EXT. GRUNGY TRAILER PARK - DAY 132

Burnett and Lowrey park and pop the trunk. Inside are

guns and uniforms.

BURNETT:

What are we gonna be today? Postal

Inspectors or Water and Power?

LOWREY:

Water and Power.

133 EXT. TRAILER - DAY 133

Approaching are Burnett and Lowrey, but now they'redressed in shorts and T-shirts with bright orange vestsand caps reading "Water and Power." And as Lowrey knockson the door.

CLOSE ON HEAVY LINK CHAIN

Wrapped around a pink refrigerator. It moves.

BURNETT:

What do you think the chain's for?

LOWREY:

I dunno. Maybe some kind of

hurricane anchor.

They knock again. The chain jerks slightly.

BURNETT:

Well, the anchor just moved.

Both turn and look. And the chain is moving. At first,

it simply sways back and forth, then it pulls taut andthe FRIDGE JOLTS! A deep, GUTTURAL NOISE sounds. From

around the corner, a shadow grows large. Lowrey andBurnett instinctively withdraw their guns and aim just asa LION rounds the corner, teeth bared, claws tearing atthe deck.

The door swings open.

Burnett pushes Lowrey inside just as the big cat lunges.

134 INT. TRAILER - DAY 134

WOMAN (O.S.)

Who are you?!

Lowrey and Burnett heave, then turn. They're equallyshocked to find a huge, three-hundred-pound WOMAN innothing but her underwear.

BURNETT:

AAAAAAAAAAA-Animal Control!

WOMAN:

But your uniforms say Water andPower!

LOWREY:

We're undercover! Now, we're

lookin' for the owner of that

animal.

WOMAN:

Listen. The cat don't belong to

me. It belong to my brother. And

I don't know where he is.

BURNETT:

That's too bad. Because his

lion's tied to your trailer. So

you gotta move the beast. Or move

the trailer.

WOMAN:

Move the trailer? Move it to

where?

LOWREY:

Everglades. Only part of SouthFlorida that's zoned for Wild

Kingdom sh*t. 'Course, the crocks

down there'll probably eat yourbrother's cat.

WOMAN:

But he loves that lion! Raised

him from a little kitty!

BURNETT:

Well, little kitty's gonna begator bait 'less you suddenlyremember where your brother is.

By the look on her face, her memory is coming back.

135 EXT. LOWREY'S BUILDING - AFTERNOON 135

Lowrey and Burnett pull up in the unmarked police car.

Chet is there to help with the door.

CHET:

(to each of them)

'Morning, Mr. Lowrey. 'Morning,

Mr. Lowrey.

Burnett grabs Lowrey and yanks him toward the elevators.

136 INT. LOWREY'S CONDO - CONTINUOUS ACTION 136

Keys in the door and Burnett and Lowrey enter the

apartment. Julie's DOGS run up to them, YAPPING.

BURNETT:

It's me, Julie...

Julie enters from the bedroom, dressed in something hotwith the tag still hanging from a sleeve.

JULIE:

I'll be ready in just a minute.

I thought I'd have you tell -

She stalls at the sight of Lowrey, a little spark ofinterest passes between them.

JULIE:

Hi. I'm Julie. You must be

Marcus.

(hand outstretched)

I recognize you from all the

photographs. Nice to meet you.

(turns around forBurnett)

What do you think?

LOWREY:

Very nice. The occasion?

JULIE:

He said we were going to a club

tonight.

BURNETT:

Yes. We were going to a club. As

in me and my partner.

JULIE:

Oh, that's f***in' swell! And you

call this protective custody? I'm

here all day. I'm alone and scared.

And all I got to protect me is Chet

the doorman -

LOWREY:

What's that on the rug? Looks

like... a stain?

Teeth grit.

JULIE:

It was my babies, Luke and Duke.

They get nervous in new

surroundings. I offered to pay

for the cleaning, but Mike

wouldn't hear of it --

Lowrey spots rings from glasses on the table.

LOWREY:

And have you ever heard of a new

invention called the 'coaster'?

As he tries buffing the table with his sleeve.

CLOSE ON JULIE:

She might be catching on here.

JULIE:

Marcus, you act like it's your

place.

BURNETT:

What?

LOWREY:

No. It's not my place. My wife.

She's a designer. She decorated

the whole place at a discount just

for Mike. And when she hears about

how he's been taking care of -

(glares witheringlyat dogs)

Off the couch!

Lowrey chases the dogs into the bedroom. One of the dogsruns out with a Cole Hahn loafer in his mouth. They bothfollow him into the bedroom.
