The Mystery of Spot (also, pay attention the script here. Les is eating SAUSAGE. Not a hot dog. sausage. Therefore what Sarah later discovers in his draw later is also a sausage.)
INT. NEWSPAPERMAN'S RESTAURANT - DAY
David, Spot, Race, Mush, Boots, Blink pick dispiritedly at a plate of knockwurst. Les, hungry as always, finishes a large sausage and takes another as he listens.
KID BLINK
He won't be in there long -- the jail ain't built that Jack can't bust outta
BOOTS
They're buildin' some might good jains these days...
RACETRACK
So where's Denton
He said he'd be here
(beat)
We can't let this stop us. We gotta keep the strike going, just like Jack was here.
MUSH
(the sad truth)
Yeah, but Jack ain't here.
RACETRACK
We know that genius-- if he was here, he'd be tellin' us what to do when he ain't here.
SPOT
(gets up)
You bummers is given me a headache.
DAVID
Where you goin'? We need you.
Spot sighs: he hates having to explain the obvious.
SPOT
Nachally Spot Conlon is needed wherever -- which right now is Brooklyn. Some of my boys is worried, I must give ear to their concerns--(slams fist in his palm) -- and resassure them.
As he starts out, he passes Dentonm coming in, Denton hardly noticeds him as he moves up to the table is greeted (AD LIB) by the boys. He seems grim, bitter.
DAVID
Why didn't the Sun print the story?
DENTON
Because it never happened.
