(Open to Jack’s Place. Smilin’ Jack Ruby is sitting at his desk, a cup of coffee and the morning newspaper on his desk.
(Jack’s eye is drawn to an article on the third page.)
(Byline: Mason Silver
(Headline: Bodies of 2 UNLV co-eds found in the alley outside the 4 Deuces bar.
(The bodies of Tara Johnson and Muffy Fredricks were found in the alley in back of the 4 Deuces bar last night.
(Witnesses were unable to identify their assailants, however the hospital spokesperson did state that whoever worked them over did a very professional job. Along with various contusions and lacerations, both women suffered from broken noses, missing teeth and fractured ribs.
(The LVPD stated that the area where the 4 Deuces is located is a hotbed for this sort of activity and believe this to be a simple mugging.)
(Jack sighs as he closes the paper after looking at the picture of the 2 girls. Before the beating, that is.
(Jack hits a button on the intercom and is connected to the bar where Sam is working.)
Ruby: Sam, is Moe out there?
Sam: Yeah. He’s working on some paperwork.
Ruby: Send him in, would you?
Sam: Sure.
(Sam yells for Moe to get his worthless ass in to see the boss.
(The door opens and Moe enters Jack’s office)
Moe: Hey dere, Jack. What’s up?
Ruby: Have you seen the paper today?
Moe: Nah. I don’t read it. Too depressing.
Ruby: Well, take a quick peek at this.
(Ruby opens the paper to the story and turns it so Moe can read it.
(Moe lets out a low whistle.)
Ruby: You recognize these two?
Moe: Uh…
Ruby: Listen, I want you to concentrate on your bartending duties and not the customers, you got that?
Moe: Uh, sure. Oh, and, hey. I got some stuff I’d like to order for the bar.
(Ruby takes the paperwork and looks it over, a frown on his face.)
Ruby: 5 cases of Wild Turkey 101?
Moe: Uh, yeah.
Ruby: So you think you can persuade THC to come here so you can fawn over Annie?
Moe: Well, I wouldn’t say “fawn over”.
Ruby: Ok, moon over.
Moe: Well….
Ruby: Fine. Just watch your step. I get the feeling that she doesn’t take well to anybody who is interested in her being interested in anybody else.
Moe: Yeah, I can see dat.
Ruby: All right, 5 cases of Wild Turkey 101….what next?
Moe: Well, I was thinking of allowing THC to run a tab here.
Ruby: And then tear it up at the end of the night?
Moe: Well…
Ruby: Whatever they run up on the tab comes out of YOUR check.
(Fade to black as Moe leaves, mumbling to himself)
