MOM & SON ESQ. P.I. - "PILOT"
4.
JOAN I said I would clear her name. And I will. Anything for a Kappa sister. Eleanor (smiling weakly) exits. Niki and Walter squabble as they go. Then BETH (38, hugely pregnant) waddles up. JOAN Beth, Dear God, you shouldn’t be here. BETH I don’t want to leave you in the lurch with these bus passengers... JOAN You can work from home! BETH It’s comin’ up thin, Joanie. I don’t trust these two witnesses to give reliable testimony. They claim they saw Kim on the bus but they’re dodgy with the details. I think it’s drugs. JOAN I’ll look it over. Go home, please. Beth waves her hand “Yeah, yeah” as she waddles off. FRANCEY They spot LYLE (40s, persnickety) across the floor, dealing with someone in a very high-maintenance, difficult way. JOAN (frowns) Not worth the headache. (as Lyle approaches) Good morning, Lyle. LYLE It’s 2 p.m. (exits) JOAN No thank you. Beth can handle it. FRANCEY You really need to get going. Here’s your bag, give me those files. INT. FANCY LAW FIRM - ELEVATOR - DAY (CONTINUOUS) As they step onto the elevator, SUSAN (30, stylish legal bombshell in Clark Kent glasses) jumps on with them: We could ask Lyle to assist Beth. We do have two investigators, ya know.
