EXT. POLICE STATION - DAY 3

An hour after dawn. SARAH sighs.
     
 
SARAH
 
  Bailed to appear this morning...Do you think I'll appear before or after I prosecute Kenny?  
     
 
DUNBAR
 
  After. Because Kenny was here first.  
     
           
SARAH
           
  You don't think we should have disclosed a bit more of my defence?
 
     
 
DUNBAR
 
  And give the prosecution a chance to prepare?  
     
 
SARAH
 
 

So why didn't I go back to the pub?

 
     
 
DUNBAR
 
  Listen, we get you up before a female bench, spin a "woman in jeopardy" story, a few tears, a dropped hanky, and you walk away without a stain on your character.
(askance)
You might want to practice the crying bit, though.
 
     
 
SARAH
 
  You are a scumbag, you know that?  
     
 
DUNBAR
 
  So are you. Kenny's still in there 'til you prosecute him later on. (A Beat) Come on. I'll give you a lift home. I always like to try it on with my female clients when they're distressed and vulnerable.  
     
 
SARAH
 
  Wait a minute. You drove here?  
     
 
DUNBAR
 
  Yeah.  
     
 
SARAH
 
  But you were drinking too.  
     
 
DUNBAR
 
  Hallo, the deputy district judge is back on the block.  
     
 
SARAH
 
  You were drink-driving too.  
     
 
DUNBAR
 
  Yeah, but I didn't get caught.
And whenever I'm entitled to a cab on legal aid, I always like to drive myself and fiddle the difference.
 
     
Hold on SARAH's reaction.
