CORKY (V.O.)

As soon as he is done, you'll be

right there to put a big drink in

his hand.

He takes the drink.

CORKY (V.O.)

We want him to come down, to relax,

feel in control again.

VIOLET:

Poor boy, has to work so hard.

She gives him a woman's sympathy pout; he knows what it,

loves it anyway.

Smiling, he slides his hand down over her ass.

CAESAR:

You look good enough to eat.

She smiles and waits for the kiss she knows is coming.

INT. CORKY'S APARTMENT - DAY

Both women are starting to feel it, to believe it.

VIOLET:

Where will you be?

CORKY:

Waiting in the apartment next door.

INT. EMPTY APARTMENT

Corky sits on the floor of the dark apartment. She has taken

off her boots, which are beside her.

VIOLET (V.O.)

Waiting for what?

Through the wall we can hear the shower.

CORKY (V.O.)

For the shower. That will be our

signal.

Corky opens a thin box filled with needle-thin lock picks.

She selects several and slips them into her multi-pierced

ears like earrings.

CORKY (V.O.)

When he's done with his shower, you

will go to the bar.

INT. BATHROOM - NIGHT

In slow motion, Caesar drops the shower plunger and water

chokes from the faucet.

INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

Behind the bar, Violet pulls out the bottle of Glenlivet.

CORKY (V.O.)

You'll get out the Scotch that Gino

drinks.

Violet steps out from the bar, her eyes on the bedroom, when

the bottle slips from her hands.

We watch it slowly fall --

CORKY (V.O.)

And as you do, the bottle will slip

from your hands. -- and shatter

against the hardwood floor.

CORKY (V.O.)

An accident.

VIOLET:

Sh*t! Oh sh*t!

Caesar yells from the bathroom.

CAESAR (V.O.)

What happened?!

INT. EMPTY APARTMENT - NIGHT

Hearing Caesar, Corky gets up, moving quietly toward the

door.

CAESAR (V.O.)

V! What the f*** was it?! Violet?

INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

Caesar enters, a towel wrapped around him, hair still

dripping.

CAESAR:

V, what? You can't hear me?

Violet looks terribly upset as she begins to clean up.

VIOLET:

Caesar, it slipped ... I was trying

to get ready ...

Caesar realizing what happened.

CAESAR:

Oh, f***ing Christ ... You gotta be

kidding me!

He rushes at her.

CAESAR:

F***! F***! How did you ... Awwww

goddammit!

VIOLET:

I'm sorry. It was an accident.

She stands up.

VIOLET:

Don't worry, I'll get some more.

CAESAR:

There's no time.

VIOLET:

Don't be silly, Caesar. It'll take

five minutes.

She turns him back toward the bedroom.

VIOLET:

I'll clean this up and be back before

you're even dressed.

INT. HALL - NIGHT

Violet opens her door, stepping into the hall where Corky is

waiting.

CORKY (V.O.)

When you open the door, I'll be there.

They pass each other in silence, Violet stepping out as Corky

slips in.

VIOLET (V.O.)

What if he sees you?

CORKY (V.O.)

He won't.

INT. BATHROOM - NIGHT

Caesar is working intensely on his fingernails. We glide

over a set of gleaming metal manicure tools. We see his

hand as he delicately applies a coat of clear polish to a

nail.

Through the open door, we see Corky moving almost casually

across the living room.

INT. CORKY'S APARTMENT - DAY

Corky is looking for something.

VIOLET:

You can't know for certain that he

won't see you.

CORKY:

Trust me, Violet.

She finds a black duffel bag from one of her tool buckets.

VIOLET:

I'm just asking, what if?

CORKY:

If he does ...

Corky slips her hand in between the mattress and box spring,

pulling out a gun.

CORKY:

Then I won't have a choice, will I?

She tosses the gun on the bed.

INT. OFFICE - NIGHT

The black case is lying on the desk, locked shut. Corky

moves around the desk, dropping down behind it.

CORKY (V.O.)

When I'm inside, I will get the money.

From her earlobe, she chooses the right pick, sliding out

the silver tool.
