Panel 1Camera view from behind Cook, viewing Tessa still sitting in Sticks's lap.

Why don't you two go play with them while us grown-ups talk?Panel 2Close-up of Adams slouching in his seat with one arm over the back, a bored look on his face.Adams: Stop it, both of you! Can we have one whole meeting without it degenerating into kindergarten? All the Doc said Tessa is that Gates isn't going to get locked up!Panel 3Adams closes his eyes and leans back with his arms behind his head.Adams: Hell if he didn't turn that guy into a fine paste, they probably wouldn't even have arrested him!
