Scene drawn from Dirty Sexy Money (Craig Wright 2007-2009)
Characters: Brian, Reverend/School Headmaster, Nick.
Context: Brian Darling, an Episcopal priest, is attempting to bribe a private school headmaster, who is also a reverend, to secure admission for his illegitimate son. Darling family lawyer, Nick, intervenes.
​
Brian: I’ll give you forty thousand dollars, just let him in.
Reverend: This is an academic institution, reverend, not an auction.
Brian: Don’t lecture me, Bozo, or I’ll get somebody in here to beat you up.
Nick: Sorry, I’m late.
Brian: Where the hell have you been?
Nick: What’s going on?
Brian: This is Nick George, our family lawyer. You better do what he says, or else... Or else you're gonna wake up tomorrow morning and find your tyres slashed or something.
It won't be good. I promise.
Nick: Where the hell are you going?
Brian: I have to go do a baptism.
