Maybe we should forget about lunch and follow up a lead or something?
Which lead did you have in mind, Lance?
We don't have one, Jim.
[laughing] Then I guess it would be hard to follow up then, huh?
C'mon, you and I both know that when you need a lead one always shows up. That's the way it works.
[Frustrated] No, it never just shows up, Lance. Never. Watch my lips: NEV - VER.
Hey guys, look at this.
[He gives Rockford a picture]
What's that?
I found this last night with the Senator. It was in his hand.
[Disbelievingly] Sure it was.
Yeah, I put it in my pocket and forgot about it.
This could be the lead we've been waiting for, Jim.
Wait, wait, wait a minute, let me get this straight.; ten seconds ago we had no leads - nothing, huh?
That's right.
And now Beamer pulls this picture of a band leader or something out of his pocket and says it was in the dead man's hand, and then he tells us it's been in his coat for 18 hours, and it shows up right now when we need it?
That's exactly right, Jim. What's the problem?
Oh, no problem. No, no problem at all. I just want to get it straight. I may want to tell an analyst.
[Turns and walks away]
