Suburbs,exterior,night…

Magnum and Higgins sit in a car on stakeout, across the street from nice house in quiet, peaceful, middle-class neighborhood.

Magnum
He’s been in there a long time. He should be coming out soon?

Higgins
I’m hungry. Let’s get something to eat.

M
See if there’s anything close by.

Higgins grabs her phone and searches.

H
There’s a Joe’s Takeout within a mile

M
Sounds good. See if they deliver?

H
Yes, their ad says they deliver. What do you want?

Next scene she dials

Joe’s
Hello, Joe’s

H
Yes, Hello, You deliver right?

Joe’s
Yes we do. What’ll it be?

H
Do you have Fish N’ Chips?

Joe’s
Huh?

H
Do you have Fish N’ Chips?

Joe’s
We have Fish, and we have Chips, but we don’t have Fish N’ Chips.

H
Ok, I’ll take an order of Fish, and an order of Chips.

Joe’s
OK…What else?

H
Do you have Burgers N’ Fries?

Joe’s
We have Burgers, and we have Fries, but we don’t have
Burgers N’ Fries.

H
Ok…I’ll have a Double-Double, Animal Style, with Fries, and a large Doctor Pepper, and a large Tea with Honey.

Joe’s
Very Good. What’s your address?

H
We’re sitting in a car across the street from 101 Lalani Lane.

Joe’s
You’re in a car?

H
Yes. You do deliver to car’s don’t you?

Joe’s
Sure, Why Not!…Ah, this isn’t going to be anything embarrassing for my driver is it?

Higgins smiles



H
No, nothing like that. We’re just on a secret government covert reconnoitering operation, that’s all.

Joe’s
Huh?

H
We’re trusting you to tell No One about this.

Joe’s
About what?

H
Your discretion is appreciated.

Joe’s
Ah…yeah, ok…anything else?

H
No, that’ll be it.

Joe’s
Very good. We’ll be there in about ten minutes.

Higgins to Magnum
I just love telling people we’re on a Secret Mission.

Magnum Smiles

Next scene a food truck with JOE”S TAKEOUT, painted on the side, arrives with lights flashing, horns blowing, music playing,
roosters crowing, and exhausts backfiring. It pulls in behind them and a heavy Hawaiian jumps out, with his eyes closed, hands them a bag, and takes off.

Next scene they’re eating

H
Look! Isn’t that him walking his dog? He’s looking right at us.

M
I think we Blew Our Cover?

H
Are you kidding Me? We’re in a Red Ferrari.
