Adena.
[He follows her into the break room, where he finds two more familiar faces.]
Hey hey hey.
FeltonGee.
Felton?
We've been waitin' for you.
Crosetti?
Have a seat. [starts dealing cards] Okay, jack of spades for Mr. Beau Felton, a ten of diamonds for my esteemed Lieutenant, and a whole lot a' nothing for the little Italian salami-brain.
What are we playing?
Five card stud.
Who's the fourth chair for?
FeltonWe don't know yet. But they'll be here sooner or later.
Anybody I know?
Maybe. It's not like it's written in stone, it's not preordained or anything, Lieutenant.
I suddenly got worried. My son, he's a cop. I thought maybe-
I wouldn't worry, Lieutenant. Life is short, but once you're dead, you're long time dead, if you know what I mean.
FeltonYour son?
Michael.
FeltonHe's a good kid?
Yes.
FeltonYou taught him well?
I tried my best. I wish -
Gee, no regrets, huh?
FeltonYou know what the best thing about this place is? All the worries and cares that you had in life? They don't matter anymore. "Rest in Peace" means what it says.
Lieutenant, do you want a cup of coffee?
[with a dawning smile] Coffee. Coffee would be good. You have any espresso?
No espresso! Where do you think you are, Heaven? Sit!
FeltonTwenty to you, Gee.
I'm in.
[continues dealing] Okay, we got one more card comin' up here [to Felton], we have another card there [to Gee]…
[The scene slowly fades to white, in an inversion of the show's traditional fade to black.]
