LYLE (CONT'D) MOM & SON ESQ. P.I. - "PILOT"
28.
And I do not share investigative database access with non-employees. Nor with former private investigators stripped of their licenses following criminal charges related to illegal wire-tapping and forgery. Todd is taken aback, chagrinned. He gulps, defends himself: TODD I had nothing to do with the forgery. LYLE
Oh, I remember your defense. You were “seduced and deceived” by your “mentor.” You thought you were equal partners in your little detective agency. And you had “no idea” she was making you the fall guy for her criminal activities. TODD (indignant) Yeah. That’s right. LYLE Well, your mother can keep you out of jail but she can’t force you into my office. Good day. TODD Look, this is not company business. I just need information about a house. It’s personal. For my Mom. LYLE
Use of company equipment for personal searches is strictly forbidden. And so is eating in my office. (points) Crumbs. Get out. Lyle closes his door in Todd’s face (then vacuums: Dyson Stick). INT. FANCY LAW FIRM - DAY Stunned and insulted, walking back to his mother’s office, Todd happens to notice a doorplate and doubles back: SUSAN LEE? He peers inside the office. Is that really her? TODD Susan?? SUSAN Oh My God - Todd. Hi.
