[Todd tracked Tess down in a restaurant...Tess, seeing him, asked Nash
to keep Todd away from her, so as Tess went out a back exit Nash stopped
Todd from following her]
Todd: Get the hell out of my way.
Nash: No, I don't think so.
[Nash punches Todd so hard Todd falls backwards onto the floor]
Todd: This clown hit me.
Maitre d': Is that right?
Nash: Yeah.
Todd: I got to go.
Nash: No, no, you're not going anywhere. (to the Maitre d')
I slugged him because he tried to steal this lady's purse.
(gestures toward a woman nearby)
Woman: (gasps)
Maitre d': What?
Woman: I didn't even realize!
Nash: That's the way the pros operate, ma'am.
[Tess has disappeared and Nash wrongly assumes that Todd had something
to do with it]
Nash: Well, Tess, if I can get a lead on the guy who bruised my knuckles
with his face, then maybe he can lead me to you. I hope he's not the
kind of guy to hold a grudge.
[Nash does research on Todd on the internet]
Nash: "Todd Manning, Pennsylvania." Wow, there there's a ton
of stuff on this guy. Going back years. "Children's hospital."
I hate him already. "Todd Manning, football star at Llanview
University, was arrested last night for allegedly instigating the brutal
gang rape of a university student." Really? So Tess has a rapist
stalking her. No wonder she hit the road.
[Nash prepares to leave for Llanview to confront Todd]
Nash: Todd Manning is never going to know what hit him.
