RECEPTIONIST: Just one second, please.

(The Receptionist leaves CATHERINE at the desk. It doesn't take long before an older white-haired man appears behind her.)

SAM BRAUN: Mugs?

(CATHERINE turns around, she smiles and gives the old man a hug.)

What mugs means here? help please...

Hmm... I don't think there is enough context to know for sure. I can't tell who the pronouns refer to, and is Sam Braun the white-haired man?

My guess is that in this situation, Mugs is Catherine's nickname.
