Hilly and Kora approach the two. Kora comes right up to Ptolemy and proffers a hand. Ptolemy remembers to shake and seems to get some pleasure from the ability. KORA BROOKS Hello, Mr. Grey. Do your remember me? Kora Brooks. PTOLEMY (not really, but) Uh-huh. KORA BROOKS Mr. Brown here says that you want him to cash your checks. PTOLEMY Yeah, uh-huh. Reggie’s at his house and um, and um... Hilly is taking me there. KORA BROOKS So you know Mr. Brown? PTOLEMY He’s my sister’s daughter’s child. Like the cops before her Kora is leery of Hilly but Ptolemy is just lucid enough. KORA BROOKS (to Hilly) Come with me, Mr. Brown. They leave. SHIRLEY WRING So can you lend me the money, Ptolemy? He looks at her, a little at sea. SHIRLEY WRING(CONT'D) For the ring, the treasure. This reminds Ptolemy to look at the ring in his hand. PTOLEMY That’s what Coydog meant. A treasure.
