Chapter 15: Interrogating Tomber

MOMENTS LATER - Mater tows Tomber, following Finn, Holley and the group.

TOMBER

"Your rusty piece of junk, get your dirty hook off me!"

INT. A SMALL GARAGE - MOMENTS LATER

Finn throws open a door. Cars scatter like cockroaches.

FINN

(To the cars)

"Allez! Maintenant - vite!"

Mater unhooks an angry Tomber who spits in French. Finn pulls the door down. As it LATCHES TIGHT ---

TOMBER

(TO FINN)

"Electroshock! Are you kidding me??"

FINN

"Easy, Tomber. This is her first field assignment - she didn't know you were my informant."

BOTH (HOLLEY & JUDY)

"Informant?"

TOMBER

"A rookie, eh? I never liked new car-smell."

Holley and EVE FUMES with anger.

FINN

"Tomber was doing 20 to life in a Moroccan impound the first time me and Kenji saved him and met of course, if I recall correctly."

TOMBER

"Speaking of recalls Finn, Kenji you're getting up a Korean Hair eh, Pal?"

KENJI

"Ah, I need a Glow up style Tom."

HOLLEY

"Alright, we get it. You both know each other, you're both old."

JUDY

"And we both knew we have an important thing to talk about so. there you go, informant. Inform us."

Holley shoots a HOLOGRAPHIC PHOTO of the engine in front of Tomber. Tomber eyes the photo. He recoils, unimpressed.

TOMBER

"That is the worst motor ever made."

Suddenly, Tomber narrows his gaze.

TOMBER

"Wait. That oil filter... those wheel bearings."

FINN

"Do those parts look familiar, Tomber?"

TOMBER

"They should. I sold them."

HOLLEY

"To whom?"

TOMBER

"No idea. He's my best customer, but he always does his business over the phone. I was always wondering why he needs so many parts. Now I know."

SHANK

"Who does that and besides why would anybody purchase that many?"

MATER

"Well, a lemon needs parts. Ain't nothing truer than that."

FINN

"Lemon?"

SHANK

"What do mean by Lemon."
