Reacher Pilot 6th Pre-Production Studio Draft 1/12/2021 16.
REACHER
What’s 5 bucks? CURTIS From the looks of it, your jacket. REACHER I’m big for my age. Just like you’re ugly for your age.
Joe just shakes his head - here we go. CURTIS New guys think they’re funny.
*
Reacher takes a step toward Curtis but Joe stops him. JOE Let’s just go home. * Reacher wants to kick Curtis’ ass, but he nods. They move to go, but Curtis shoves Reacher hard. He falls. * CURTIS I said, five dollars. Reacher, from the ground, looks up and sighs, resigned - just * like he did when cops arrived at the Margrave diner. REACHER Have it your way. Reacher moves to a tree, takes off his jacket, hangs it on a branch. He sees Joe, next to him, hanging his jacket too. REACHER (CONT'D) You don’t have to. It’s my fight. JOE It’s never just your fight... (as they roll up their sleeves to fight) Mom was right. Trouble does kinda seem to find you. Reacher gives Joe a small smile. Appreciates him. Loves him.

Reacher lies on his back on the bench, his head propped up by zip-tied wrists behind him, resting them on the arm-rest; he observes the cops in the bullpen. His feet hang off the end of the bench.
