(politely)

Hi.

Is daddy home?…How ʼbout mommy..? OK. Go call her…I need to talk to her. . ..

JUDY

(looking through the file cabinet. He scares her at “Go” and she freezes, listening to him)

LARRY

(explodes)

Go! Get! Her!!

(quietly to himself)

You little bastard!

BATES

OK. I just simply wanted to present him a very good deal. Why donʼt you shut the fuck up and go in there and get him.

JUDY

(pissed off)

Who the hell you think youʼre talking to?!!

BATES

You talk too much. If youʼre not going to get him, sit down!!

(pushes her down in the chair)

JUDY 

(canʼt believe it, as she gets up fast, loudly)

YOU BASTARD! WHAT THE FUCK YOU THINK YOUʼRE DOING?!!

BATES 

(points at office door)

GET his ass the fuck OUT here or Iʼll mop you all over this fuckinʼ place!

JUDY 

(backs away from him)

You sick bastard!
