FADE IN:
INT. DANNY WILLIAMS' OFFICE
DANNO IS ON THE PHONE TO HIS BOSS AFTER JUST RETURNING FROM FAILING TO TWART A ROBBERY ATTEMPT.
KONO IS IN DANNO'S OFFICE JUST SITTING.
DANNO
Steve, it was not like I had any advantage. He had some type of automatic gun.
Was this guy a large man?
I think so. I mean I couldn't see all of him.
KONO WAVES HIS HANDS TO GET DANNO'S ATTENTION.
DANNO
(being interrupted)
Steve. Hang on a second...
KONO
Tell him about the multitude of accomplices you said were also there.
DANNO
(back to the phone)
So, yeah, Steve, I meant to tell you also about the other guys he had in his gang.
Big? Yeah, they were huge. And armed!
Well, no, I didn't see their weapons, per se.
KONO AGAIN WAVES HIS HANDS TO GET DANNO'S ATTENTION.
DANNO
(being interrupted)
Steve. Hang on for another second, will you? ...
KONO
Tell him those guys had menacing tatoos on their muscular shoulders.
(about to laugh)
DANNO
(back to the phone)
... And those other guys wore sleeveless shirts, like guinea tees, so their hairy,
muscular shoulders were revealed and showed dispicable tatoos.
I said, dispicable tatoos. You know, crosses, swords and such.
Yes. swords.
Why didn't I call for back-up?
KONO AGAIN WAVES HIS HANDS TO GET DANNO'S ATTENTION.
DANNO
(being interrupted)
KONO
Tell him you had broken your radio when you tried to hop over a stone wall.
DANNO
(back to the phone)
... Well, I had no radio. The thief had shot it up.
Yes, that's right. I had no option but to try to escape.
KONO ONCE AGAIN WAVES HIS HANDS TO GET DANNO'S ATTENTION.
DANNO
(pointing to Kono to stop it)
I said, escape. On foot.
Yes.
OK, I will go home and rest. Thank you.
KONO
Hey Danny, now do you see where fast thinking will get you?
DANNO
KONO
Yes you do, my friend.
Hey, the truth. How many thief gang members were there? Seven? Eight?
DANNO
What thief gang? I had had a bad night before with Belinda. The last thing I
needed was to then get shot over a crummy surfboard!
Made up the gang part.
KONO
I hear ya.
But, Belinda?? Come on, man!
