75INT. TIMMY'S TAP -- DAY

Timmy's Tap is a local watering hole, not unlike the L Street Bar. Sean is at the bar, telling a joke to TIMMY (45) the owner of the place, and several other REGULARS.

SEAN

So she goes runnin' up the aisle and I

figure "fuck it" and I yell out "don't

forget the coffee!

The men erupt in laughter. MARTY, one of the regulars pipe up.

MARTY

Bullshit! You didn't say that!

Timmy and Sean exchange a look.

TIMMY

Jesus Christ, Marty. It's a joke.

Lambeau enters, a bit overdressed in his sport coat and tie.

SEAN

Gerry! Any trouble finding the place?

LAMBEAU

Not at all.

SEAN

Timmy this is Gerry, an old friend of

mine. We went to college together.

TIMMY

Good to meet you.

LAMBEAU

Pleasure to meet you.

SEAN

Could we get a couple of sandwhiches?

(beat, smiles)

Put it on my tab.

Sean heads towards a table.

TIMMY

You ever plan on payin' your tab?

SEAN

(pulls out lottery ticket)

I got the winning numbers right here.

TIMMY

What's the jackpot?

SEAN

Twelve million.

TIMMY

I don't think that'll cover it.

Lambeau follows [Sean]. They sit.

LAMBEAU

You're here quite a bit, then.

SEAN

I live right around the corner.

LAMBEAU

You moved?

SEAN

I been here a couple years.

There is an awkward moment.

SEAN (cont'd)
