INT. CASINO - DAY
Cars play craps with FUZZY DICE; slot machines with odometers for jackpot numbers; cigarette girls sell car items.
CIGARETTE GIRL CAR
"Air Freshener, antenna balls, sparkplugs..."
ON MATER - He tows VICTOR. They are flanked on all four corners by Hugo thugs, ala a presidential motorcade. The largess of the interior design seems to finally snap Mater out of his funk.
MATER
(WIDE-EYED)
"Wow, this place looks like it's made out of gold."
The Hugos on either side of Mater exchange a look.
HOLLEY (OVER RADIO)
"That's because it is, Mater. Now, be careful what you say."
MATER
"Why is that? What do you mean don't talk to you?
(More talking from Holley which we cannot hear)
So, you want me to stop talking to you. Right now?"
ALEXANDER HUGO
"You are acting strange today, Ivan."
MATER
"I have no idea what you're talking about..."
MATER'S P.O.V. - A digital readout isolates the Hugo and starts to scroll reams of information alongside.
MATER
"...Alexander Hugo, aka "Chop Shop Alex."
IN A WIDER SHOT we realize this display is invisible to all but Mater. Some of Alex's other alias' include "Alexander Hu-Don't Go" and "Alexander the Not-So Great."
MATER
"Hey, you got a lot of akas, Alex. But I guess that makes sense seeings how you's wanted in France, Germany, the Czech Republic..."
HOLLEY
(Cutting in to his DISPLAY)
"Mater! Stop it!"
Alexander Hugo, unaware of Holley's interruption, whispers to Mater as they turn a corner.
ALEXANDER HUGO
"Okay, okay. Keep your voice down. You're gonna make me arrested.
(To the other Hugos)
Don't mess with Ivan today. He's in a bad mood."
EXT. CASINO - DAY
Holley and Judy, hearing this, can't believe it.
FINN
"He's so good."
NICK
"Define, Good..."
