Last Days of Ptolemy Grey, The - pilot

38.

HILLY But we been up and down this street ten times. If you have a name I could call information. PTOLEMY Call ‘em then. Call ‘em. HILLY Here, Papa Grey gimme your wallet. PTOLEMY What for? HILLY Maybe there’s a bank card in there. Lemme look. PTOLEMY (hesitant) Okay.

Ptolemy gives his assent but doesn’t move to get the wallet so Hilly reaches into the old man’s back pocket and fishes out the billfold. While this process is going on a Police Cruiser passes down the opposite side of the boulevard. The car starts to make the U-turn. PTOLEMY (CONT'D) John Bull. Hilly is looking for the wallet while the cops make their turn. PTOLEMY (CONT'D) (louder) John Bull. Hilly finds something that might reveal the name and location of the bank. HILLY Grollier’s Bank. It ain’t even on this street. The cruiser is pulling to the curb behind Hilly. PTOLEMY Goddammit, boy, I said John Bull. HILLY What?
