Scene 2
(Years earlier, train platform, payphone, evening)
GENE
Yeah. Tinker kid, it’s Gene. Free as a bird Tink. Free as a bird. That brass band you hired, they musta gone to the wrong station. So it’s Tuesday, right? About 4:30. You’re probably at the distributors or something. I figured you’d be here.
I’ll catch the bus and meet you at Adorno’s then. Just in case. We’ll have that dinner. Veal chops and that good whiskey. So I’ll head there on the bus. Should be there in about a half hour or so. I’ll call you from there if I don’t see you.
Maybe we meet up later or fuck it, just rain-check right? I know you’re busy. I’ll head that way, just in case. See you there. If you get this just leave word if you’re gonna show. I’ll wait. It’ll be great to see you Tink. Like old times. Lots of laughs. We’re overdue kid. At the bar Tink, alright? See you. See you soon I hope.
