Baby Driver Page #4

Synopsis: Baby is a young and partially hearing impaired getaway driver who can make any wild move while in motion with the right track playing. It's a critical talent he needs to survive his indentured servitude to the crime boss, Doc, who values his role in his meticulously planned robberies. However, just when Baby thinks he is finally free and clear to have his own life with his new girlfriend, Deborah, Doc coerces him back for another job. Now saddled with a crew of thugs too violently unstable to keep to Doc's plans, Baby finds himself and everything he cares for in terrible danger. To survive and escape the coming maelstrom, it will take all of Baby's skill, wits and daring, but even on the best track, can he make it when life is forcing him to face the music?

Yeah, Jack, all looks

fine back here. Over.

No bandit glass,

one armed guard,

10 cameras,

eight registers, two open,

11 customers and four employees.

Thank you.

Uh...

Uh, stamps.

That your boy?

Sure.

Yeah, he sure is.

How old is he?

Four.

Eight.

They grow up so

freaking fast, don't they?

Does he have a name?

You have a name, don't you?

Samm.

Well, Samm, I got a mint

with your name on it.

You have a mint

that says "Samm"?

Aw.

Sweet.

Are you here tomorrow?

Sure am. Working 9:00

to 5:
00, just like Dolly.

Oh, Dolly Parton. Yeah.

I like her.

Mmm, who doesn't?

"Everybody wants happiness,

nobody wants pain.

"But you can't have a rainbow

without a little rain."

Wise lady.

Yeah, she sure is.

Hmm.

Bye.

Hit me.

No bandit glass,

one armed guard,

10 cameras,

eight registers, three open.

And, uh, 11 customers.

And, uh, four employees.

Anything else?

The teller seemed nice.

She gave me a mint.

Did she?

Yeah.

You probably wouldn't even

need to use a gun with her.

Just say "boo," and she'll

give you the big bills first.

Chip's off the old block.

What floor are you on?

Third.

Those stairs must be a

real b*tch for Joe, huh?

It's my business

to know everything.

So, are they a b*tch?

There's an elevator.

Ooh, fancy.

So, am I gonna see you tonight?

Yes, you will.

You're not just saying what you

think I want to hear, right?

You consider me a friend,

don't you?

You and I are a team.

Nothing is more important

than our friendship.

Good to know.

You'll be out of

this shithole soon.

You're going up in the world!

Bo's diner, what'll you have?

Is Debora there?

Debbie, phone.

Keep it short.

Hello?

It's baby.

Hey. To what do

I owe this honor?

I just wanted to

hear your voice.

Am I still seeing you later?

I have to drive again.

Oh, okay. Thought

y'all were done with that.

So did I.

It's not what I want.

And what do you want, baby?

I want us to head west on 20,

in a car we can't afford,

with a plan we don't have.

Keep driving and never stop.

Are you serious?

I am, Debora.

You in?

I'm in, baby.

See you soon.

There he is.

Hey, baby.

Hey, baby.

Hear-no-evil's back, huh?

Have you seen this kid move?

Yeah, I've seen him.

Think doc likes

having him around

because he can park in the

disabled spots by the bank.

- Disabled spot?

- Yeah.

He got some sh*t wrong with his ears.

Tinnitus or something.

Anyway, he gotta listen

to music 24 hours a day

to drown out

the whining in his ears.

Oh, sh*t!

You know who else has

the exact same thing

and does that exact same thing?

Barbra Streisand.

Darling, do I look like

I know a f***ing thing

about Barbra f***ing Streisand?

Hey! Watch your mouth. That's

my lady you're talking to.

Yeah.

Watch your mouth.

I'll watch what I want to watch.

Is that true?

Is that why you have music

in your head all the time?

Drown out the noise?

Yeah.

It keeps me moving.

It's an escape. I get it.

Hey, buddy, you seen a violin?

I had a violin here.

Shut up.

I used to fool around with

cars when I was a kid.

Drive around all night like a speed

freak listening to the radio.

I used to have my special tape

that had my killer

track on it. Get me flying.

You got one of those?

Sure.

Well, what is it?

Brighton rock.

What?

Queen?

Yeah.

It's got that

crazy big guitar solo.

Yeah, I know that song.

My brother used to

play sheer heart attack

right through the wall.

You got it on here?

Uh, I got it on this one.

Play it.

Let's hear that killer track.

Yeah.

What you ladies listening to?

Queen.

Queen!

Queen? Streisand, now queen. What the f***?

What y'all gonna do?

Y'all gonna belt out show

tunes on the way to the job?

You don't need

a score for a score.

You just...

Put your f***ing foot on the

gas and drive the goddamn car.

That's all

the music you need, folks.

Come on, now.

You never been a wheelman?

You never had a lucky song?

Well, a cigarette song.

Apres- heist, glass of scotch.

Absolutely.

But not before a job.

I got enough demons right here

playing music all the time.

Yeah, well, that I believe.

Had a buddy once walk away from a job.

You know why?

Because something was playing

on the radio he didn't like.

We about to go in, he won't

get out the f***ing car. Why?

'Cause knock, knock,

knockin' on heaven's door

is playing on the Fm.

He called it a hex song.

That, end of the road

by Boyz ii men,

hotel California by the eagles.

He called 'em all hex songs.

Then come talking about some crazy

sh*t like we all gonna die.

So what?

You bail on the job?

F*** no,

I didn't bail on the job.

I went and got that money.

And we didn't die, either.

Now, he bought it

a little later,

but it had nothing

to do with the heist.

Do all your stories end up

with somebody dying?

I guess you just

got to find out, huh?

I need four pairs of eyes

and three sets of ears.

Gather round.

The postal service is dying.

People don't care

about their mail anymore.

Lucky for us,

their loss is our gain.

Money orders.

For I happen to know a guy

who has a machine

that can turn

blank ones into green.

Each box contains

250 slips per box,

each slip worth up to a grand.

That's quarter a mil per box.

Dot, dot, dot.

You do the math.

Darling goes in the front.

Buddy takes a five-alligator

count and follows her inside.

You put on these privacy glasses

to blind the CCTV camera.

Another five-alligator count.

Darling gets in line,

buddy takes her hostage,

shotgun to her head.

That gets you guys

in the back office.

We role-play that a lot.

Uh-huh.

Baby drives bats

around the loading dock.

Bats uses this security card supplied

by an insider with a nasal problem

to get in the staff entrance

and cover the rear.

You guys grab all the boxes

and then sneak out the back

to baby and the waiting car.

Did you get all that, baby?

Yeah.

Okay, one more thing.

We need some fresh hardware, not

traceable to us or any previous jobs.

Now, I've got some contacts who

can get us some clean firepower,

so the pickup is tonight.

But after the pickup,

you come straight back here.

You all have an early start in the

morning, and there's eyes everywhere.

So, you're staying

the night here.

Oh, we in bed together now.

Pull over there.

I got to take a leak.

Want some gum?

Want some gum, buddy?

Yeah, I'll take some gum.

Tell me what we're gonna do

with all that money.

We're gonna go to Vegas.

We'll put it all on red.

We'll get married again.

It'll be real romantic.

Mmm.

You know what was real,

real romantic?

What was real, real romantic?

When you stabbed that guy.

Which guy?

The guy that robbed you, the

guy that called you a whore,

or the guy that

looked at you funny?

The last one.

Yeah. I do remember that.

Bats just looked at me funny.

You want me to kill bats?

Not before the job, silly.

Hmm?

You think we should talk

about this in front of baby?

He won't say a thing.

Will you, baby? Hmm?

Edgar Wright

Edgar Howard Wright (born 18 April 1974) is an English director, screenwriter and producer. He began making independent short films before making his first feature film A Fistful of Fingers (1995). Wright created and directed the comedy series Asylum in 1996, written with David Walliams. After directing several other television shows, Wright directed the sitcom Spaced (1999–2001), which aired for two series and starred frequent collaborators Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. In 2004, Wright directed the first film in the Three Flavours Cornetto, the horror comedy Shaun of the Dead, starring Pegg and Frost. The film was co-written with Pegg—as were the next two entries in the trilogy, Hot Fuzz (2007) and The World's End (2013), which Wright directed and also starred the pair. In 2010, Wright co-wrote, produced, and directed the comedy action film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Along with Joe Cornish and Steven Moffat, he co-wrote Steven Spielberg's The Adventures of Tintin (2011). Wright and Cornish co-wrote the screenplay for the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Ant-Man in 2015, which Wright intended to direct but abandoned, citing creative differences. His latest film, the action comedy Baby Driver, was released in 2017. Wright has also directed numerous music videos, including The Bluetones' "Keep the Home Fires Burning" (2000), The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster's "Psychosis Safari" (2002), Mint Royale's "Blue Song" (2002), Pharrell Williams' "Gust of Wind" (2014), and Beck’s "Colors" (2018). more…
