Scene III

The Scene opens up back at the bar where Hooch and Skye were deep in conversation with their customers.
Hooch: where've you been Gunnar? We haven't seen you around for
months.
Gunnar: I don't discuss my goings and comings.
Fred: Sure, but what are you doing walking around on a rainy night, did your piece of crap Harley break down?
Gunnar: And I don't discuss my business with the likes of you.
Just then the restaurant door opens again the homeless woman walks in. She is dressed in rags; her hair is greasy and hanging down in her face. She looks confused, and bewildered.
Skye: What's yer name hunney? And what can I get yew?
Hobo: Name? I'm not sure… (pause with a sad look…) but I could use some coffee.
Skye: (as she grabs the coffee pot and a cup) Not sure!?! What, did ya ferget your name?
Hobo: I guess, I don't remember anything… Broom Hilda… that’s all
that comes to mind, you can call me that.
Skye: (hands her the cup and points to a stool indicating for her to sit down) Broom Hilda, eh? Sure thang hunney, but maybe we should do something about that memery of yers.
Fred: Yea, maybe the reason you can't remember your life is because the mysterious Gunnar here stole it from you. He doesn't seem to have one of his own.
Gunnar glares at Fred silently as he takes a last swig from his Shirley Temple.
B.Hilda: Maybe I'll find it tomorrow…is this refillable? (picking up the cup and holding it out)
Skye: Shure (Skye grabs the coffee pot and fills the cup) Gunnar gets up and steps away from the bar, then exits Hooch Central without saying a word.
Hooch: (turning to B.Hilda) I've seen you wandering around town, don't you have a place to stay?
B.Hilda: (in a slightly bitter tone) I've got a cardboard condo on the main street, what's it to you?
Hooch: Hey, just asking, it’s my job to be the caring bartender.
B.Hilda continues to silently drink her coffee. The camera pauses on a close up shot for a few moments and then cuts to Max E. Streets office, where he and his secretary, Kenya Rusley, are having a late night meeting. Max E. Street is a 'legit' family businessman who is monumentally handsome.

Scene II

The scene opens on the shot of the maid as she sees the body on the floor. She then lets a gasp out of her mouth, and a hand flew to her mouth. She then rushes to the body and begins to shake it.
Maid: (in desperation) Mista Cottonwoud!! Mista Cottonwoud!!
She looks up and around, with a scared expression, she then gets up and runs out of the room. The Camera cuts back to the bar where Hooch, (who I forgot to mention is unfortunately handsome) is looking curiously at Gunnar. Skye has silently joined the conversation.
