Mister Taylor, have you been monitoring me and my family?

HARRY:

What makes you think that?

MARTIN JOHNSON:

I saw you watching us with your night-vision binoculars.

HARRY:

That’s impossible! you were… I mean, I’m a cop, I wouldn’t do that.

Go to your doctor tomorrow. I have done you a favor, so please drop the investigation.

HARRY (Acting innocent.)

What investigation?

MARTIN JOHNSON (still looking expressionless.)

Please don’t play this game. I know all about it, go to work on Tuesday as usual, then at lunch time, go to the Stat’s-Room. Put this

disc into the computer, and type in these codes, press accept and bring back the disc.

HARRY:

Who the hell, do you think you’re dealing with?

MARTIN JOHNSON:

I’m dealing with a life form that couldn’t even pass the entrance exam for the police force without inside help.

HARRY:

That does it, I’m calling my buddies, you are going to be placed on a stage 2.

MARTIN JOHNSON:

Don’t you mean, a stage 3? A stage 2 is using violent behavior.

HARRY:

I’ll have you sectioned for this, I’ll have you arrested, I’ll …(Harry starts to have chest pains.)

MARTIN JOHNSON:

Your husband is having a heart attack, Mrs. Taylor, please get an ambulance.

DAPHNE:

My God, Harry, hang on! (Daphne runs to phone.)

MARTIN JOHNSON (Grabs Harry and leads him to couch.)

Don’t worry Mr. Taylor you will be alright.

HARRY: (Panting for breath)

Get your hands off me, I am OK, I don’t need your help!

MARTIN JOHNSON:

Lay’s Harry down on the couch while inserting a small micro-needle into the back of his neck.

DAPHNE: (Comes back.)

OK, Mister Johnson! I have called the police and the ambulance, so you will have some explaining to do.

MARTIN JOHNSON: (Pointing to Harry.)

I want you to look at this, Mrs. Taylor, it doesn’t look good.

DAPHNE: (Runs over to Harry.)

What is it, Pumpkin! (Daphne always calls Harry, Pumpkin when something serious happens.)

DAPHNE : (Bends over Harry, Martin Johnson inserts a micro-needle into her neck.)

What do you want us to tell the Police, Martin?

You will receive instructions in the next few minutes.
