Scene 4: Penthouse Hallway
Mike gets off elevator and approaches Johnny, who blocks the door.
JOHNNY: Sorry, you can't go in. From now on, you have to use CID instead.
It's orders.
MIKE: Who's Sid?
JOHNNY: No, C-I-D. CID. It's your new Communication Interface Device
[gestures toward slot machine].
MIKE: [Looks skeptical]
JOHNNY: Sonny had it installed just for you. Here, you'll need these.
Johnny hands Mike a roll of quarters, then disappears into Sonny's
suite. The door lock clicks behind him.
Mike notices a brass image of himself on the front of the slot machine. He
puts in a quarter and pulls the lever.
KA-CHING, KA-CHONG, CLICKETY-CLACKETY
Instead of coins, a card emerges. Mike reads it: Loser!
Another quarter, another card: No, you can't borrow any money,
Deadbeat.
Again: Deserting dickhead dad!
And again: Liar, liar, Daddy's pants are on fire
Mike sighs deeply and gets back on the elevator.
