Harry and the Hooker
As Harry enters the police station, en route to his first
day in Personnel, he sees some hookers being led away. One of the girls calls out to
him, and he recognizes her as Jenny, a witness from an old case. They exchange a
little small talk which ends with an offer for him to make use of her services someday
soon. Harry points out that it's unlikely, as he doesn't have the back for it.
A little Eastwood-style comic relief that appears in the
novel. If it ever appeared in a draft of the script, it was probably cut as Harry's
session in Personnel already contained several moments of humor. It's worth noting,
however, considering the nature of the Enforcer case ("It
keeps comin' up hookers"). Perhaps Jenny was, at some point, intended to
provide Harry with information, in the same way that Mustapha assisted him.
Harry's Landlady
Attempting to get in touch with Harry following
his suspension, Bressler and McKay go to Harry's apartment. They encounter his
landlady who informs them that Harry isn't home. As they leave, McKay notes that the
landlady isn't very friendly or big on conversation, to which Bressler responds, "Why
do you think Harry lives here!" Here we see how Bressler and McKay found
Harry in the bar.
