RANNOCH
It’s peat.
Larry looks at him quizzically.
RANNOCH
The East Highland line?
Suddenly, Larry begins to understand. Rannoch slowly pulls the hood down over his hairline and tightens it.
LARRY
I had nothing to do with --
The big man grabs the back of Larry’s head and tries to shove the peat brick into his mouth. Larry fights back, but he’s overmatched. He flails, kicks and gouges, angering Rannoch, who shoves him back into the urinal. Larry’s panicked GRUNTS are drowned out by a rising crowd NOISE.

INT. THEATER - NIGHT

The stage is dark but the small crowd is stamping and shouting.

CROWD
Caber toss! Caber toss! Caber toss!
And Sydney is right up front, leading the chant.
