JACOB- Here, let's sit over there.
[ISABELLE and JACOB sit down at a table and 2 chairs]
ISABELLE- What's wrong?
JACOB- [JACOB takes her hands in his] Isabelle, you are my best friend and I want to do anything but lie to you. I always want to be honest with you, so I should be honest after 4 years of this being on my mind. Isabelle... I--
[ISABELLE's phone rings]
ISABELLE- It's the Chief.
JACOB- [JACOB lets go of her hands] You should probably answer it, it may be important.
ISABELLE- Alright.
[ISABELLE picks up the phone, nods, says a few "yups" and "mhms" and hangs up]
ISABELLE- He has uniforms for us.
JACOB- Oooh! I get to be all swagged up when solving crimes!
ISABELLE- Never say "swagged up" ever again.
JACOB- Understood.
ISABELLE- What did you want to say before?
JACOB- Oh, it's nothing too important, don't worry about it. Now come on, let's go!
ISABELLE- Ok!
[they walk to the police station and see CHIEF REEVES holding up two tan detective coats]
JACOB- Oooh! They look so cool! Can we try them on now?
CHIEF REEVES- Of course. You can just put them on over your clothes that you're wearing now.
[ISABELLE and JACOB put the coats on]
ISABELLE- We're looking snazzy!
JACOB- Yeah, I'd say we're pretty swagged--
ISABELLE- Don't you dare.
JACOB- --up.
CHIEF REEVES- You two act like siblings. It's funny.
JACOB- Does that mean you're our work dad?
CHIEF REEVES- If you'd like to think of me as a father figure, I wouldn't mind.
ISABELLE- I've been doing that because I don't have a dad. Plus, you remind me of him.
CHIEF REEVES- How so?
ISABELLE- The beard and a smile never being present, only what I've seen from pictures.
CHIEF REEVES- Oh.
[suddenly, OFFICER VEC speed walks in with DETAINED MAN in handcuffs]
OFFICER VEC- This man is a murderer!
CHIEF REEVES- Calm down Officer Vec, what seems to be the issue?
OFFICER VEC- Didn't you hear me? This guy killed someone! I saw it with my own eyes!
[DETAINED MAN stays quiet]
ISABELLE- Shouldn't he get interrogated first?
OFFICER VEC- For what?! I saw him--!
ISABELLE- That's enough. All we know is what you are claiming; there could be a deeper meaning.
JACOB- I'd listen to her.
OFFICER VEC- Fine. Come on... uh...
ISABELLE- Isabelle.
OFFICER VEC- Oh right, the new detective. Now come on.
