45 INT. UNMARKED CAR - DAY 45

Lowrey's driving, no seatbelt, doing his usual speed-

weaving. Burnett's hanging onto the handle above thedoor.

BURNETT:

Not a f***ing lead. So now that

we've done the obvious, we need

a shortcut.

LOWREY:

Okay. So we talk to Max.

BURNETT:

Huh uh. Not this time. I'm

tired of you working p*ssy into

everything we do.

LOWREY:

You got a better idea?

A46 EXT. CONGRESS GYM - ESTABLISHING - DAY A46

Lowrey and Burnett arrive in the unmarked car.

46 INT. CONGRESS GYM - DAY 46

Once-colorful stucco, fading and crumbling. ScrappyCuban fighters spar and work out on the aging equipmentwhile, at the same time, a remarkable amount of amazing-

looking women work out on weight bags, shadow box withtrainers. Curves and sweat, any way you look.

BURNETT AND LOWREY

enter. And while Lowrey cruises amongst the sweaty fleshas if it were a day in the park, Burnett lags. Maybe hehas been married too long.

CLOSE ON MAX LOGAN

she's doing sit-ups on an incline bench. She notices

Lowrey.

MAX:

Hi, Mike. You come to work-out?

LOWREY:

Raincheck, darlin'. Gotta talk.

Anyplace we can go?

MAX:

Equipment room. Hiya, Marcus.

How's your wife?

BURNETT:

Huh?

MAX:

That's what I thought.

47 INT. EQUIPMENT ROOM - DAY 47

This room isn't enclosed. It's walled by wire mesh.

Private enough, though. Max shuts the door.

LOWREY:

Sorry to come around only whenI need something.

MAX:

Forget about it. I owe you therest of my life, Mike.

Lowrey just gives her an "oh please" look.

MAX:

Don't be lookin' at me like I'm

getting all sentimental.

LOWREY:

Hey, I didn't open my mouth.

Listen, there's some major, majorill sh*t happening down at the

P.D. Lotta heroin involved. There's

gonna be a lotta cash involved, too.

Gonna be some happy motherfuckersaround that wanna party.

MAX:

So you want me to check around?

LOWREY:

Just make a coupla calls. See what's

what. Don't be doin' no wild sh*t.

Just call me if you hear something.

48 INT. BOXING GYM - DAY 48

Burnett is surrounded by beautiful, sweaty women. One of

them is a fabulous BLACK WOMAN with legs so long andtoned, they're not just legs, they're weapons. Burnett

can't help but stare.

BLACK WOMAN:

Who's Max's friend?

A cop.

BURNETT:

Oooh.

BLACK WOMAN:

I love cops.

The other girls are suddenly interested, too.

swallows and...

Burnett

BURNETT:

You know? I'm a cop. I shot

somebody just last week. Didn't

kill him, just shot him in the

ass.

Stone cold looks from them all. They walk away withBurnett giving a "what did I say" look. Lowrey appears.

LOWREY:

You know, that was really smooth.

Think you could do that again?

(as they startwalking)

Ohh. I'll tell you, when the wifegets meaner, the grass gets greener.

BURNETT:

Green ain't the color I was

thinkin' of. More of a coco puff.

Just real shiny, thick...

49 EXT. BOXING GYM 49

As they head toward their car, Burnett's BEEPER SOUNDS.

He switches it OFF.

BURNETT:

Damn! The woman's got f***in'radar on my ass. Sensed me

lookin' at another woman. Bet

she wants me to pick up Huggies'stead of those baby Garanimalsthat they wear.

LOWREY:

I don't think anybody could bethat married.

BAD BOYS - Rev. 6/24/94 PM 19A.

50 INT. UNMARKED POLICE CAR - IN MOTION - DAY 50

Burnett drives cautiously while both he and Lowrey bobto Ice-T's "COP KILLER." They get a kick out of the

song.

LOWREY:

(complies)

Miami's the perfect town for you,

Burnett. You drive like a one-

hundred-seven-year-old lady with

her turn signal on.

BURNETT:

And I plan on living to be old

just like 'em. Rubbin' Ben Gay

on my joints and everythin'.

An old guy passes them even though his car is pullingan Airstream camper behind it. Lowrey can't believe it.

LOWREY:

You gonna let every old

motherf***er pass you? Or just

the ones with big-ass trailers

draggin' behind? A-c-c-el-er-ate.

BURNETT:

I don't have a death wish like

you. I got a family that counts

on me. A mortgage to pay. And

I'm not sayin' it's me, but most

of the guys in the station think

you're some rich kid playin' cop.

LOWREY:

Who said that?

Burnett mumbles an answer.

LOWREY:

If somebody's talking about me, I

wanna know... Man, I'm so sick of

this. I don't apologize for

nothing I do. I get up early and

take it to the max every day. I'm

always the first guy through the

door. And the last guy to leave a

crime scene. So f*** 'em all. I

could give a sh*t what those boot

lickin', brown-nosin', ass kissin'

motherfuckers think of Mike Lowrey.

What can Burnett say to all that, but...

(CONTINUED)

BAD BOYS - Rev. 6/24/94 PM 20.

BURNETT:

I love you, man.

He lets loose a big grin.

LOWREY:

Oh, f*** you, Marcus.

The RADIO CRACKLES.

DISPATCHER (V.O.)

(over radio)

Two-one? I got that address foryou on the air conditioning

company. Oh, and Theresa called,

she added something to your grocerlist: Muppets toothpaste. Bubble

gum flavor. She says Quincydoesn't like mint.

Lowrey rolls his eyes, glances at Burnett, who'sembarrassed.

LOWREY:

Yeah. Roger that. Gimme the

address.

DISPATCHER (V.O.)

Orona's been working out of hishouse. He's at...

51 EXT. KEY BISCAYNE ESTATE - ESTABLISHING - DAY 51

Burnett and Lowrey step from their unmarked car andstart up the steps to this stony, estate-sized house.

LOWREY:

The air conditioning businesshas been good to Orona.

Lowrey rings the bell. They wait. No answer.

BURNETT:

Well, we can leave a note or we

can break and enter -LOWREY

Wait. Hear that? I thought Iheard Orona beating his wife.

BAD BOYS - Rev. 6/24/94 PM 21.

52 INT. ESTATE - REAR DOOR 52

Lowrey kicks the door in.

LOWREY:

Uh oh. No alarm.

BURNETT:

Aw, man. Did you cut one?

LOWREY:

No, man. Musta been you.

BURNETT:

Not me.

Lowrey and Burnett look at each other and draw guns.

LOWREY AND BURNETT

Dead guy.

53 INT. ORONA'S DEN - DAY 53

The door is unlocked and swings open easily to revealLowrey and Burnett in an instant, repulsed reaction toOrona's body which sits upright in his office chair, thebody grotesque and bloated.

LOWREY:

Now what?

A sickened Burnett goes over to the body, speaking toOrona as if he were alive.

BURNETT:

Where are the drugs?

(no answer)

Where... are... the... drugs?

(shrugs)

He ain't sayin' nothin'. He must

be guilty of somethin'.

Meanwhile, Lowrey's got no problem with the dead body.

He tries opening a desk drawer, but Orona's rigor mortis-

stiffened knee is in the way. So Lowrey gives it a shoveand the chair swivels. Orona's dead arm sweeps the lampoff the desk.

BURNETT:

Whoa. Watch where you're swinging

them dead arms, Orona. You're

gonna f*** up your own crime

scene.
