VIOLET:

Yes.

CORKY:

Good.

Corky begins to pace, ordering the information in her head.

CORKY:

All right, now, tell me about Johnnie.

VIOLET:

Johnnie?

CORKY:

It sounded like he and Caesar don't

like each other.

VIOLET:

Like each other? They hate each

other.

CORKY:

Why?

VIOLET:

It started way before I was around.

I think basically it's because he

thinks Johnnie is a complete idiot.

But Johnnie runs Chicago because

Gino is his father.

CORKY:

Who is Gino?

Violet suddenly feels that she has made a mistake.

VIOLET:

Gino Marzzone.

CORKY:

Marzzone? As in Angelo Marzzone,

head of the Marzzone family?

VIOLET:

That's his brother.

CORKY:

... sh*t.

Corky covers her mouth.

CORKY:

Gino Marzzone is coming tonight to

pick up the money?

VIOLET:

Yeah.

CORKY:

And Johnnie is his son, that's Johnnie

Marzzone?

VIOLET:

Yeah.

CORKY:

Sweet Jesus.

Eyes wide, she paces, pulling at her lip, mumbling.

Suddenly she freezes as it clicks into place. She looks at

Violet.

CORKY:

It's perfect.

She's pacing again.

CORKY:

Gino Marzzone is coming to your

apartment. It's a big deal, isn't

it? That means Caesar will be ready.

He doesn't want to look like an idiot.

Gino has been there before?

VIOLET:

Yeah, twice.

CORKY:

What happened?

VIOLET:

Not much, really. Caesar was nervous,

kept cleaning the apartment. |The

first time, he picked out the dress

he wanted me to wear.

Something occurs to Corky.

CORKY:

Does Johnnie hit on you?

VIOLET:

Johnnie hits on anything in high

heels.

CORKY:

Has Caesar ever seen him?

VIOLET:

He does it right in front of him.

CORKY:

It's getting better and better.

Keep going.

VIOLET:

Gino doesn't know English, or at

least he pretends he doesn't, so he

doesn't talk much. He gets right to

the point. Both times they talked

for about five minutes, had one drink

and then they left.

CORKY:

What did Gino drink?

VIOLET:

Scotch, Glenlivet. I remember that

Caesar made a huge deal about it.

Corky smiles, the wheels rolling.

CORKY:

All right ...

She turns from the window and gets onto the bed.

CORKY:

I have an idea to make this work.

INT. CAESAR'S APARTMENT - DAY

Violet is getting dressed, lining her lips with lip-pencil.

CORKY (V.O.)

You'll go back and get ready, take

your time, make it real.

As she works on her face, we see the room behind her and the

discarded dresses scattered about.

CORKY (V.O.)

The more attractive you are, the

more believable it will be.

INT. CORKY'S APARTMENT - DAY

Corky breaks her thought-train.

CORKY:

What time did you say they would be

there?

VIOLET:

The plane is in at seven, so I'd say

about eight.

CORKY:

Any bodyguards?

VIOLET:

Gino travels with a big man named

Roy. Caesar calls him the driver.

CORKY:

Fine.

INT. OFFICE - DAY

Caesar again checks his watch.

CORKY (V.O.)

At some point Caesar is going to

quit. I'd guess sometime around

six, making sure he's got time to

get ready.

The watch reads 6:10. Caesar rubs his eyes, his temples.

INT. LIVING ROOM - DAY

Violet is at the bar in a sexy dress and high heels.

CAESAR:

Un-f***ing-believable, what this guy

did. Shelly is one smart-ass

mothefucker, I mean, he was one smart-

ass motherf***er.

He laughs as Violet smiles, handing him an enormous drink.
