INT. High Rollers' Lounge NIGHT
Manny
Nick Virago! What are you doing working in the High Roller Lounge?
Manny
I would think Maximino's private lawyer would have his own office.
Virago
I do, but they don't serve drinks there.
Manny
Got a little lipstick on ya, Loverboy.
Virago
I already got rid of that, and I can do the same to you, Calavera...
Virago
...so if I were you I'd keep my jaw shut.
Manny
Everything all legal with the kitties?
Virago
Yes, they keep themselves pretty clean.
Manny
Who do you like in the fourth race?
Virago
Well, there's a white-footed tabby in gate two that's looking strong but has a slight eye infection...
Manny
But you think he's gonna pull out of it and win anyway, right?
Virago
No, that pus-eyed puss is going to lose!
Virago
But nobody knows--and I'm going to make a mint!
Manny
I have to tell this to someone: I hate cats.
Virago
Me too, but they keep the lights on around here.
Manny
Nick, I need a lawyer.
Virago
You get yourself in some kind of trouble, Calavera?
Manny
No, we just need someone for the dunking booth over at the club.
Virago
Funny guy.
Manny
How's tricks, Nick?
Virago
Mmm.
Manny
Virago, I REALLY need a lawyer.
Virago
What is it this time, Calavera?
Manny
Someone's claiming my roulette tables are fixed.
Virago
But your roulette tables ARE fixed.
Manny
Exactly. That's why I need a lawyer.
Virago
So...will you be needing a regular lawyer, or an EXCELLENT lawyer?
Manny
An excellent lawyer.
Virago
Any excellent lawyer... or the BEST excellent lawyer?
Manny
The very best is good enough for me.
Virago
And who would you say that would be, Calavera?
Virago
Who would you say is the BEST lawyer you know, in all the Land of the Dead?
Manny
You are, Nick.
Virago
That's right, and that's why Maximino retains me on an EXCLUSIVE basis.
Virago
So, sorry, but I don't do... "odd jobs."
Manny
How's tricks, Nick?
Virago
Mmm.
Manny
Virago, I REALLY need a lawyer.
Virago
Well, my dance card is full, so what are you gonna do?
Manny
I could tell Max about you and Olivia.
Virago
That sort of claim could send a man like Max into quite a rage.
Virago
Especially if the messenger had no proof.
Manny
Max and I are friends. He'll believe me.
Virago
People believe what they want to believe, Calavera...
Virago
...and I want to believe you're a smart man who doesn't go around spreading dangerous rumors.
Virago
I've got to go talk to Max for a moment.
Virago
When I get back, I hope you're gone, because I'm sick of looking at you.
Manny
Man, this is gonna get me in trouble.
Manny
There's something rattling inside...
Manny
It must be in a hidden compartment somewhere, but I don't see a latch or anything.
INT. Blue Casket Kitchen NIGHT
Manny
The sink is full of dirty hookah water.
Manny
I would, but it's full.
Manny
I don't want to squirt out all the hookah water here.
