ON FOUCHET:

He's dealing with his 26-year-old chemist named ELLIOT.

FOUCHET:

Okay. Explain it to me, Elliot.

Why are we behind?

ELLIOT:

The cutting agent is highlyvolatile. You can't cook it like

you would a pizza. I had to gearthe ovens down to half-speed.

FOUCHET:

We already accounted for that,

Elliot. It's in our fuckingtimetable. So what else?

Elliot is uncomfortable. He looks back at WALLY, his

stoned-looking assistant, before forging ahead.

ELLIOT:

There's too much moisture down

here. The pies are taking longerto cook than we originallyplanned.

WALLY:

Yeah. It's totally f***ed.

FOUCHET:

You. Shut up.

(back to Elliot)

Now, listen, you little p*ssy.

We're not making pizza.

FOUCHET (CONT'D)

We're making money. I gave you a

deadline. If you succeed, you're

a millionaire. If you fail,

you're a f***in' corpse. And so

help me God, Elliot. If you give

me a f***in' ulcer, I'll dig up

your dead mother and f*** her with

your severed dick, do you

understand? Christ -

(calls out)

Noah?! Bring me something for my

stomach! A f***in' Snapple or

somethin'.

114 INT. LOWREY'S CONDO - DAY 114

Burnett enters and instantly those DOGS of hers areYAPPING.

BURNETT:

Shut up before I step on you...

Julie?

He drops his bags and heads into bedroom where...

115 INT. BATHROOM - CONTINUOUS ACTION 115

Julie's fresh from a shower, towel about her and dryingher hair.

BURNETT (O.S.)

Julie!

JULIE:

That you, Mike?

BURNETT (O.S.)

Yeah. It's me. Mike.

JULIE:

At least your timing's good.

Can you bring me the lotion on

the nightstand?

Burnett enters. Julie has a towel wrapped around herbody.

JULIE:

Thanks. So I was thinking...

Julie, obviously free with her body, suddenly drops thetowel and starts applying lotion. Burnett averts his

eyes, turning around a full one-eighty, but finds himselffacing a mirror. Oops. Looks left, another shinysurface. Sh*t.

BURNETT:

(to himself)

Crazy f***in' woman.

He steps from the bathroom and stands outside the door.

JULIE:

The guy who killed Max. Now, he

was looking for the heroin thatEddie stole from him... Max went

to the party as a favor to you.

You're a dope cop, right?

BURNETT:

Special Narcotics Division.

JULIE:

So this isn't about Max's death

at all. It's about dope.

BURNETT:

We find the dope, we find ourshooter, too.

JULIE:

There's some powder in there, too.

Can you hand that to me?

(waits for ananswer)

Mike? Mike?

Burnett has disappeared into...

TIME CUT TO:

Burnett is going through Lowrey's extensive and meticulously

coordinated wardrobe, shaking his way all the waythrough.

BURNETT:

Man, when this is over, I'm gonnaget me somethin' better thanquality time. It's gonna be me'nTheresa on a boat -JULIE

(O.S.)

Mike? I borrowed a T-shirt and

some boxer shorts until we can

somehow get back over to myplace to pick up some clothes.

117 INT. BEDROOM - CONTINUOUS ACTION 117

Burnett exits the closet to find Julie brushing out herwet hair, wearing nothing but what she described, a T-

shirt and pair of Lowrey's boxers tied up with a shoestring. This ensemble never looked so good.

BURNETT:

Mug shots. We got mug shots tolook at. 'Scuse me, I gotta hookinto the P.D. computer.

He heads out of the bedroom.

JULIE:

Hey, Mike. Who's the guy in allthe pictures?

Burnett turns. And there behind Julie is a wall full of

photos that he's never, ever noticed. Nearly all ofLowrey. All ego.

BURNETT:

That guy? Well, that's Marcus

Burnett, my partner.

Burnett gets closer and must look around until he findsthe singular photo of the two of them. It's in a shittyframe, too.

BURNETT:

There's the two of us, see?

(gestures to photos)

... My partner.

Me'n'...

JULIE:

Listen, Mike. I've known a lotta

guys. And I've seen a good numberof their bedrooms, okay? But I've

never seen... I mean, look at it.

It's like a shrine to him.

(CONTINUED)

BAD BOYS - Rev. 6/23/94 PM 54.

117 CONTINUED:

BURNETT:

Yeah. Okay. Sure, I can see how

it looks that way... But you see...

you see... It's uh... a cop thing.

(then it comes)

That's because I've put a pictureup there for every time Marcus hassaved my life.

JULIE:

Saved your life?

BURNETT:

I save his life. He saves mine. He's

got the same thing in his house.

Pictures of me. More, even. Good

family man, that Marcus.

JULIE:

Okay, but Mike. This is like a

lot of pictures. I mean, this

isn't something by the bedstand.

This is a whole wall... And I know

Max said you were just friends.

That's why I was thinking,

maybe... you could be... gay.

Burnett reacts, then recovers with...

Me? Gay?

mind?

BURNETT:

Are you outta your

JULIE:

I didn't mean to offend you.

BURNETT:

It's a good thing that I'm securein my manhood to see that you don'tmean that. You know how many womenI've had in that waterbed? Check the

waves as they go by. Count 'em.

(turns back toliving room)

Now, mug shots?

118 INT. LOWREY'S CONDO - NIGHT 118

Burnett and Julie are sitting at the computer looking atmug shots dialed in from the police database. She

fiddles with, but does not eat her salad, while stealingsideways glances from the computer screen to the nasty,

bologna sandwich Burnett is eating.

118 CONTINUED:

BURNETT:

The shooter said four days untilhe makes the deal. What else

did he say?

JULIE:

Somethin' weird. Sounded like

three angels... He wasn't worriedbecause he had three little angelson his shoulders tellin' him

something. I didn't get the rest.

(back to the mug

shots)

I'm getting tired of looking atugly people.

BURNETT:

Just a few more and we can take

another break.

JULIE:

I don't wanna take a break. Then

we'd have to talk and I gotnothing to say to a cannibal.

BURNETT:

A what?

JULIE:

That was a living, breathingconsciousness. It felt joy.

Sadness. Maybe it even had a

name.

BURNETT:

What had a name.

JULIE:

That flesh you're shovelinginto your mouth.

BURNETT:

(stops chewing)

It's just bologna.

JULIE:

It was alive. Some farmer fed it.

Got it to trust him. Then blew

its brains out, dumped it in acement mixer with a ton of

carcinogens and now you're eatingit.

(CONTINUED)

118 CONTINUED:
(2) 118

Burnett never looked at it that way. He starts to put itdown.

JULIE:

No. At least finish it so I

won't have to look at it.

(back to the

screen)

Let's look at some more uglypeople.

ANGLE - COMPUTER SCREEN

It's a photo of Noah along with his extensive rap sheet.

JULIE:

Wait. Hold it. Go back...

That's him! That's one of 'em.

BURNETT:

You sure?

Julie nods. She's certain.
