STANLEY:
There's a lot more where this
came from.
MASTERS:
You know what I think you should
do now. Why don't you pull some
files... some files that were
completed, others that went
unsold, and I'll have somebody
run it down, talk to the customers
and get some statements.
STANLEY:
Pulling files is another thing.
That might not be easy.
MASTERS:
To sneak a few here and there
when you can.
STANLEY:

very little.

There's a KNOCK at the window of the diner.

101 INT. DINER - DAY 101
Nora and Tilley are sitting alone at a table drinking
coffee.
TILLEY:
Was not long ago you never would
have seen a woman in here.
NORA:
You don't have to tell me. How
many nights did you drop me off
and come up here all the time?
TILLEY:
I know. I was just trying to
be congenial... you know, start
a conversation off, on a nice
kind of light level, you know.
So, what's the scoop, Nora?
NORA:
Well you know, I think we really
should get divorced.
TILLEY:
Makes sense. You want some more
coffee?
