56      INT. KITCHEN OF SANDECKER’S HOME – NIGHT                                           56

 

Pitt and Sandecker are at a table.  They’ve finished eggs and coffee.

 

SANDECKER

Want some more coffee?

 

PITT

No, thanks.  I have to get some

sleep.

 

He rises.

 

56A   TRAVELLING TWO SHOT                                                                                        56A

 

They walk through the house.

 

SANDECKER

I need you on this one, Dirk.

 

PITT

No, you don’t.  You need Sherlock

Holmes.  You really think I can

track down that stuff after almost

seventy years?

 

SANDECKER

It has to be someplace.  It didn’t

just evaporate

 

PITT

(takes a drink)

The way I see it, you only have

one lead.  The dead man . . . Sergeant

Jake Hobart.  That means classified

Army Archives.

 

SANDECKER

That’s General Wiggin’s baby.

 

PITT

(he grins)

Last time I saw Art Wiggin he won

ten bucks off me in a poker game.

(beat)

All right.  I’ll call the General

tomorrow and see what I can find

out.

 

57      EXT. SANDECKER’S HOME – NIGHT                                                                    57

 

Sandecker and Pitt walk toward a car at the curb.

 

PITT

One more thing . . .

 

SANDECKER

What’s that?

 

PITT

Keep this guy Seagram out of my

hair.

 

SANDECKER

(oil on the water)

Gene’s all right.  Maybe he gets

a little anxious sometimes but he’s

brilliant.

 

PITT

Good.  Let him be brilliant on

somebody else.
