Nice to meet you, Detective. * ANGLE ON Uniform Cops putting up crime scene tape, looking for shell casings, etc. Among them - MARVIN SANDEFORD - Black, fifties; his trainee ANDRE BENTLEY - Black, twenties; also RIVAS and LYLE; all but Sandeford sneak glances at Haywood, the new boss -- SANDEFORD (to Bentley) Pay attention - don’t just look on the ground for shell casings.
Sometimes they go into tires which is why you wanna look for flats. RIVAS Anyone know anything about our new commandante? LYLE (sarcastic) She was the most qualified candidate, that’s all. SANDEFORD You bucking for the job, Lyle? LYLE Not me, Marvin. I’ll be one of the enlisted swine to the day I die. I also don’t have affirmative action
