NYPD BLUE Pilot Revised Network Draft 9/18/18 23.
THEO I checked with the morgue. They haven’t had a female floater her age in five years. PETTIBONE Bodies sink in winter then pop up in spring, or get tangled in seaweed and never come up at all. Theo sags. He leans back and for the first time takes in the desk he’s using. Irvin takes note. IRVIN It was your dad’s desk. THEO (a little wistful) Yeah. I kinda remember. Why’s it empty? IRVIN Ex-Detective Fluger texted a vulgar photograph to Detective Lazarus. His ‘one too many with the boys’ defense finally expired. THEO Ah. Irvin produces a Magic 8 Ball from his drawer. IRVIN This was your dad’s, too. He left it here. They were gonna throw it out, but... Irvin walks over with the 8 Ball and hands it to Theo. Lightbulb for Theo. THEO I remember you now. You babysat for me. Irvin’s overjoyed; glad to be remembered. IRVIN Yes! THEO You’d always read me Where the Wild Things Are .
