Last Days of Ptolemy Grey, The - pilot

21.

REGGIE What good is that to a old black man in LA? DR. RILEY Dr. Rubin will be in town for a few days in a week or so. He specializes in dementia and needs candidates like your uncle for examination and tests. REGGIE Tests like on a guinea pig? DR. RILEY I’ve made the appointment already. The address is on the back side. Rubin knows more about your uncle’s condition than anyone I know. He’ll make suggestions but it’ll be up to you how far you go.

Off Reggie - thinking many things.

EXT. BUSY STREET OF SOUTH LA - AFTERNOON Walking down the street Reggie is on point but Ptolemy is distracted by people and movements: Ptolemy sees someone across the street. It looks like Coydog; maybe it is him - in Ptolemy’s mind. Coydog gestures at Ptolemy to cross over to him. PTOLEMY Hey, Reggie. There he is. That’s Coydog. Hey, Coy! Ptolemy walks right out into the street causing a driver to hit his brakes and honk. Reggie rushes out and pulls the old man back up on the curb. PTOLEMY (CONT'D) Lemme go! That’s Coydog. The DRIVER (black male, 30s, medium build) jumps out of his car, furious. DRIVER What the fuck you think you doin’? Driver angrily rushes up to the duo only realizing Reggie’s size and power when he gets on them.
