CROWE sits down across from BEN.

CROWE

Look, you seem like a good kid. Nobody wants to hurt you.

Off Ben’s incredulous look CROWE (CONT’D)

Okay, maybe someone got a little carried away. Adrenaline rush sort of thing. If it makes a difference, he feels bad about it.

BEN

He put a gun to my head and pulled the trigger.

CROWE

And you didn’t shit your pants. People were impressed, by the way.

BEN

I’m thrilled.

CROWE

Lighten up-it’s not like your hands are so clean.

BEN

What are you talking about?

CROWE

(smirking)

Yeah, okay.

BEN

So what do you want?

CROWE

You ready to listen now?

Ben doesn’t say anything-he opens his hands-“I’m here.”

CROWE (CONT’D)

Okay, here’s what you do.
