[Hoop disguised as a old business man]
Hoop:
Freddy, you got my Linoleum contracts?
Freddy:
Your Linoleum contracts?
Hoop:
The contracts.
Freddy:
Your contracts?
Hoop:
That's what I [bleep] said, the Kuperman Contracts! Are you deaf?
Freddy:
Yes, in one ear.
Hoop:
Oh. [stands close in Freddy's non-deaf ear] Give me the [bleep] Kuperman Contracts.
Freddy:
All you did was show them the pattern books.
Hoop:
That's all I did, huh? All I did was show them the books?
Freddy:
They were walking out the door when I saw them. I made that sale.
Hoop:
You ungrateful [bleep]. You child! I was signing contracts for Linoleum when you were learning to crawl on it. [pulls up a gun]
Freddy:
You think you can threaten me?
Hoop:
You think you can cast me aside? Walk all over me like an old shag runner?
[Freddy shoots Hoop]
Hoop:
So this is how it ends, huh? Dead on a carpet. Sunset Beige. Our plush-cut line. I know the patterns, Freddy, but I never found the pattern of my life. I never found it. [dies]
[the act ends]
Teacher Director:
Wonderful. Wonderful. It says here you played Hedda the Lead Cheerleader in "Crisis at the Car Wash" and Julio the Crippled Pimp in "The Death of a Cell Phone".
Hoop:
They're not plays. Those are cases where I acted undercover. I'm a detective.
Teacher Director:
Hoop, you bring a street-smart quality we could really use. You're hired!
Hoop:
Oh, my god! A part in a David Mamet play? It'll be so nice to hone my craft without getting shot at.
