2 Days in the Valley Page #6

Synopsis: John Herzfeld deftly welds together a multitude of subplots-- a loser hitman and a cool assassin involved in an insurance scam; a washed-up director, turned suicidal, if only he had someone to care for his beloved dog; a snooty art dealer, wracked by kidney stones, cared for by his devoted assistant; a grungy deranged vice cop, now partnered with a fresh-faced rookie; and two beautiful and jealous women entangled in their deadly scheme--into a spoof of the crime thriller genre.

you little selfish prick...

because you

I don't give a sh*t about!

I can't go.

I'm in a lot of pain!

Doctors compare the pain

of passing a kidney stone...

to a woman

giving birth to a baby!

Bouncing in the car will hurt.

I've got to take painkillers

and lay down!

Tell him, Audrey. You're a nurse.

Make him understand!

He's out of pain now.

Let's go.

Audrey, come on.

As soon as I'm out of the Valley,

I'll let you all go.

I really didn't

want to have to hit him.

You lost your temper.

Sometimes that happens.

When I was a kid,

once I got so mad at my father...

'cause he didn't come to my...

What didn't he come to?

To my piano recital.

I got so mad I...

I set fire

to his favorite chair.

Did you really?

Good for you.

What's your name?

Dosmo.

- You still play the piano?

- Nah, I gave it up.

Well, it's never too late

to start again.

Let's get the hell outta here.

You, in the back.

In the front.

- Am I dying?

- Is Becky dead?

She ran. I shot at her.

I don't know if I hit her.

It hurts.

Please take me to a hospital.

What are you doing?

This is a tough decision for me.

"Decision"?

What decision?

Honey, I love you. There's no other way.

I can't take you to a hospital.

Understand?

Give me a minute.

You give everybody else a minute.

Baby, the wound,

it's not as bad as it looks.

No, you've lost too much blood.

You're definitely dying.

I'm doing you a favor

by finishing you off.

Honey, just tell me the truth.

I gotta know.

Did you sleep with Roy?

How can you ask me that?

How can you ask me that now?

You're right. I'm sorry.

I gotta get outta here.

Just for the record,

I think you did sleep with him.

Goddamn automatics!

Always jam!

Hold on a second.

You don't mind

if I borrow this, do you?

Hey, baby.

Help!

- Where we going?

- I'm gonna drop everybody in Pasadena.

Then you're gonna go

back to Brooklyn?

What's this?

- Stop the car!

- Shut up!

- Stop the car!

- Keep goin'!

I'm a nurse.

I have to get out of the car!

- Shut up and just...

- Let her out.

- What happened?

- She came out of the bushes.

All right. It's okay.

Try to relax.

Just try to relax. That's it.

You can hold onto my hand.

That's it.

Everything's gonna be okay.

- What kind of language is that?

- Sounds Swedish.

Try to relax.

Everything's gonna be okay.

She's not gonna make it...

- Get out.

- What's going on?

- I need the car.

- I'm driving you.

Thank you, Teddy.

There you go.

Everything's gonna be okay.

All right. That's it.

Try to breathe.

That's a girl. Just relax.

Get the f*** down!

Down!

Get behind the car.

Stay the f*** down!

Go on.

Save him, 'cause the next shot's

gonna blow his brains out.

- Who is he?

- I'm a police officer.

Stay where you are.

Do not jeopardize

your safety for me.

Shoot a guy when he's down?

Where's your guts?

You can save him.

Go get him.

F*** him.

I'm comin' to get you.

Come get me, Dumbo.

Stay where you are.

That's an order.

You motherfuckin' cowardly prick!

Come get me, Dumbo.

Dosmo, don't!

He'll kill you!

Boo!

Time's up.

You're a tricky son of a b*tch.

You almost got away with it...

but that's your life,

isn't it, Dosmo?

Almost, but not quite.

Come on, Dosmo.

Dosmo, hurry!

Go.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You want this?

Nah.

You know, you do know me.

From Polly's Pizza

in Studio City.

You knew?

I realized it when you were cooking,

but I didn't want to say anything.

I didn't want to embarrass you.

You know...

this could be seed money

to open up a pizzeria in Brooklyn.

- Dosmo?

- What?

There's just one thing

that bothers me.

It's been bothering me

since we met.

Can I do something?

Don't get mad. Just try it.

What?

- Give me that!

- You really look better without it.

Don't ever do that again.
