(Jan and Lucy both sit down in front of both officers)
(Officer Quintana picks up a duffel bag, placing it on the table.)
 “10 pounds.”
“That I’m not sharing.”
 (Jan slowly turns his head)
 “You’re serious?”
“Buddy, that’s Purple Haze.”
 “Lucy!”
“What?! It’s hard to come by!”
 “Lucy!”
“What?!”
(Jan and Lucy continue to argue, while both officers turn their heads to one another, unclear of what to do. Officer Terrazaz checks the bag)
 “Is it actually Purple Haze?”
“You want to check?”
 (Both officers look back at the arguing couple)
 “Oh I’m the one that got us into this mess?!
Who had the car with 10 pounds of kush?!”
“Who put it in the car?!”
(While the pair continues to argue, both officers peek into the bag, rubbing their fingers on the bags of marijuana then intensely sniffing it)
 “Smells like Blue Dream.”
“You sure? Smell it again.”
(While arguing, Lucy heard the officers’ conversation. Concerned, she turns back to face both officers)
 “Wait, are you sure?”
 (Taking the marijuana out of the bag then continuing to sniff it) “Yeah dude.”
“No way.”
(Hurriedly, Lucy gets out of her chair, grabbing the bag out of the officer’s hand, then furiously sniffing the marijuana)
“Oh good God.”
 (Lucy continues to sniff the rest of the bags of marijuana, while the other 3 watch)
 “Umm… shouldn’t you two be doing something about this?”
 “Like, smoke it?”
 “No, dude…”
 “Oh… sorry.”
(Jan taps Lucy, getting her attention and making her sit back down)
 “So, could you tell me where you got all this marijuana?”
“Easy, my dealer, the same guy you saw put it in both cars, which we did not know he did. You both clearly saw what he did before he ran off.”
 “If you’re stating you were innocent, then why did you decide keep this bag to yourself?”
 “You know, to be honest, I thought it’d be funny.”
(Both officers look confused, looking at Jan, hoping for a response, only for Jan to shrug and shake his head)
 “Her dealer also happens to be her boyfriend.”
“Ah ah ah, ‘happened’, to be my boyfriend.” “Oh yeah, that’s right.”
(Officer Terrazaz takes out a small notebook, ready to write as Officer Quintana questions them)
“Do you know where he is?”
“Yeah, Ezra’s in the Caelum Apartments near Argentum Boulevard, probably packaging with friends.”
 (Both officers nod at one another, rising from their chairs and opening the door for the pair)
 “That’s it?”
“Yes it is... you want to come watch us arrest your friend?”

(Six men are being arrested and put into the backs of the police cars)
“I’ll remember your face kid! Don’t forget that!”
“Well… yeah! We’re cousins!”
(As they watch the car, drive away, Lucy turns to the officers)
 “So, we keep the kush, right?”
(Both officers shake their heads)
 “Oh… you guys want to smoke then?”
 (Both officers agree, Jan shrugging)
 “Sure, why not?”
