BARRY SCOTT APPROACHES ANOTHER GROUP OF MEN, AGAIN, HOLDING OUT HIS HAND.

(really shouting.) Hi, I’m Barry Scott.
A FIST BREAKS FREE FROM THE CROUD AND PUNCHES HIM SQUARE ON THE JAW. WE DON’T EVEN SEE WHO IT WAS AS BARRY HITS THE DECK.
BARRY SCOTT STRIDES OVER TO MAX SITTING ON HIS OWN IN A CORNER OF THE BAR. HE LOOKS LIKE A STUDENT, READING FROM A LARGE FOLDER.
BARRY SCOTT
(really shouting.) Hi, I’m Barry Scott.
NO RESPONSE.
BARRY SCOTT
(really shouting.) Mind if I join you?
STILL NO RESPONSE SO BARRY SCOTT SITS DOWN.
BARRY SCOTT
(really shouting.) So, what do you do?
MAX LOOKS UP SUDDENLY AND IS A BIT SURPRISED TO SEE BARRY SCOTT.
MAX
(really shouting.) Sorry, didn’t see you sit down.
BARRY SCOTT
(really shouting.) I’m Barry Scott.
MAX
(really shouting.).What?
HE PULLS HIS IPOD HEADPHONES FROM HIS EARS.
MAX
Sorry, what did you say?.
BARRY SCOTT
(really shouting.) Hi, I’m Barry Scott.
HE HOLDS OUT HIS HAND. MAX GRABS BARRY’S HAND PULLING HIM TOWARDS HIM. WITH THE OTHER HAND HE SMASHES BARRY’S HEAD INTO THE TABLE REALLY OVER THE TOP VIOLENCE. HE SMASHES IT AGAIN. BARRY IS BARELY MOVING.
MAX THROWS BARRY SCOTT TO THE FLOOR AND CARRIES ON READING FROM HIS FILE. THEN…
MAX STANDS UP AND KICKS BARRYS LIMP BODY A FEW TIMES. HE PICKS UP HIS FILE AND WALKS OFF.
BARRY DOESN’T MOVE.
WITHOUT WARNING, MAX RUNS BACK TO BARRY, PICKS UP A CHAIR AND STARTS HITTING HIM REPEATEDLY WITH IT.
HE PAUSES TO WIPE HIS BROW. THEN, PICKS UP THE CHAIR AND CARRIES ON PULVERISING BARRY SCOTT.
