INT. A TRAILER ON A FILM SET
- HOPKINS
- What was it? That did it, I mean?
- OLDMAN
- Fentanyl. (still reading) Smoked, though. Eesh.
- HOPKINS
- You can smoke that? I thought it was liquid.
- OLDMAN
- You can smoke anything if you change its form. (winking) Form is liquid.
- HOPKINS
- If it’s form is — oh, of course. Clever bird, you are. But really what is it - Fentanyl?
- OLDMAN
- I don’t actually know, Tony. I too pictured it in a vial.
OLDMAN begins typing on his phone
- OLDMAN (cont'd)
- WebMD says it’s…just an opioid. Makes sense.
- HOPKINS
- Yes, well stop there - WebMD, what is that? I mean I know what it is, of course, but I never know if I’m to trust it.
- OLDMAN
- (Laughing, giving up) I don’t know, old boy. Just don’t smoke Fentanyl, how about. (Cheekily) Do you think you can do it?
- HOPKINS
- Difficult to say.
