CUT TO: DOWNTOWN DISTRICT
EXT DOWNTOWN - NIGHT
SHADE FIGHTS OFF THE GROUP OF THUGS AND THEN APPROACHES KELFORD.
[Shade]
What's going on here?
[Kelford]
Look, this is going to sound crazy but that's my car.
[Shade]
Can you prove it?
[Kelford]
Yeah.
KELFORD USES HIS KEY FOB TO UNLOCK THE CAR DOORS.
[Shade]
Okay, let's just go on a ledge here and say that you're telling me the truth.
[Kelford]
I am telling you the truth!
A SQUAD CAR ARRIVES ON THE SCENE. THE OFFICERS APPROACH SHADE AND KELFORD IN A HAUGHTY FASHION.
[Police Officer#1]
What seems to be the issue here boys?
[Kelford]
That's my car! I've got the keys to prove it and I'm sure unless they screwed with the VIN number I've got the paperwork at home to prove it too.
[Police Officer#2]
That may be true but unfortunately, we can't just let you drive off with it.
[Kelford]
What? Why not? What the hell are you guys talking about?
[Police Officer#2]
It's because we're here about a call reporting an assault.
A BLONDE GIRL AND HER FRIENDS COME OUT OF THE BAR THAT THUG#1 WAS IN AND APPROACH THE POLICE.
[Blonde Female#1]
Officer, that's him! He tried to steal my boyfriend's car and assaulted him!
[Kelford]
What?! That's not true!
[Shade]
Yeah, it's not. I saw the whole thing.
[Blonde Female#1]
You can't listen to them! Look at poor Johnny! He looks like he got hit by a truck and that asshole is who's responsible.
[Police Officer#1]
Alright, just quiet down. Listen, kid, we can pull the tapes and figure out what happened but we can't just let you walk away.
[Kelford]
What?!
[Police Officer#2]
You attacked that man—!
[Kelford]
Yeah, after he attacked me! I was trying to call the police and he tried to take my phone away!
[Police Officer#1]
Listen you're not under arrest. We're just detaining you so that we can figure out what's going on.
KELFORD LOOKS TO SHADE AND SHADE SIGHS.
[Shade]
Listen, we both know that most of the cops are full of shit—!
[Police Officer#2]
Hey, watch it!
[Shade]
Piss off, first amendment! Listen, bud, just go with them and tell your side of the story.
