JOEY "TWO TONS"

Okay boss. Where are they?

ZAMMITO:

If I knew where they were you wouldn't

have to find them, would you?

JOEY "TWO TONS"

You didn't say find them. You said,

"get them."

ZAMMITO:

Just find them!

JOEY "TWO TONS"

Okay boss.

Zammito stares at Joey for a long beat, then...

ZAMMITO:

Papa Joey?

Joey looks away, embarrassed.

INT. SOPHIE'S WAREHOUSE -- NIGHT

Sami can't sleep. He walks over to the table and sorts through

the canvas bag containing the contents of Zammito's safe. Inside

a small cardboard box he finds several cassette tapes. He removes

the box and walks to the stereo system on the floor, then inserts

a tape into the cassette deck. A moment later Sophie enters.

SOPHIE:

Can't sleep?

SAMI:

No.

SOPHIE:

I'm sorry things went so wrong today.

SAMI:

It's not your fault.

She notices the box of tapes.

SOPHIE:

What are you doing?

SAMI:

I thought I'd listen to some of the tapes.

See what's so important that a mob guy

has to lock it away in his safe.

SOPHIE:

Sounds boring.

SAMI:

It's three in the morning. Not much

else to do.

She grins seductively, then leans in towards him.

SOPHIE:

I can think of something.

They kiss.

INT. SOPHIE'S WAREHOUSE -- MORNING

Sami is asleep on the floor, curled up under several blankets. He

wakes up and looks to his side expecting to find Sophie. She is

not there. Sami looks around for her.

Wayne is sitting on the couch preparing his morning joint.

WAYNE:

She's not here, man.

SAMI:

Where is she?

WAYNE:

I think she went to do some laundry.

Threw some stuff in a bag and left.

It takes a moment for Sami to connect the thoughts.

SAMI:

Bag?

Sami runs to the table. The black canvas bag is gone.

CLOSE ON DANIEL:
Asleep. Sami shakes him. He opens his eyes.

SAMI:

Get up. We've been ripped off!

INT. SOPHIE'S WAREHOUSE -- MOMENTS LATER

Daniel and Sami are with the crew. They are not a happy bunch.

Wayne is smoking his joint, his eyes locked on the television.

JULIEN:

Oh, man... this is bullshit! You can't

trust anyone these days.

RAYMOND:

She took everything! Didn't even leave

us cab fare.

A thought occurs to Sami.

SAMI:

Not everything.

He removes the tape he put in the cassette deck last night before

Sophie entered.

SAMI:

I was going to listen to it last night

but I --

He realizes it may not be the time to tell them what happened.

SAMI:

-- feel asleep.

Wayne blurts out a sloppy laugh.

WAYNE:

No you didn't, dude. You were bangin'

Sophie. I saw you guys going at it.

DANIEL:

You slept with her?

SAMI:

Well, actually I would say she slept

with me.

Daniel stares at him angrily.

SAMI:

What's the big deal? It's not like I

was on guard duty or something.

DANIEL:

You didn't think it was little suspicious

that someone you only knew for a few

hours wanted to sleep with you?

SAMI:

No. Chicks dig me.

Daniel grabs the cassette and puts it in the player. On the tape

we hear a phone ringing.

MAN'S VOICE

Hello?

ZAMMITO'S VOICE

It's me. I need an answer from you if

I'm going to move.

MAN'S VOICE

We're not just talkin' about a 'piece of

work' here. We're talking about a boss.

Sami is the first to realize what he is hearing.

SAMI:

Holy sh*t.

RAYMOND:

What?

Sami holds his hand signaling them to be quiet so he can hear the

rest.

ZAMMITO'S VOICE

Bonanno's a dinosaur. Guy thinks he's

f***in' Vito Corleone or something. The

old ways are gone. If we don't change

now we're going to get pushed out. I

need to know if I can count on your

support?

A pause on the line.

MAN'S VOICE

Yeah.

The line goes dead. Sami leans back.

SAMI:

No wonder Zammito didn't want us to walk

out with this stuff. He's planning on

killing Bonanno and taking over the

family.

JULIEN:

This wasn't the deal! The deal was to

steal a necklace, not get in the middle

of a Mafia war.

MARCEL:

The deal is whatever Mr. Bastaldi says

it is.

DANIEL:

You know, if you could get your nose out

of Bastaldi's ass for two seconds you

might see what's going on around you.

JULIEN:

I knew this was a mistake! I knew it

last night when you asked me to go along

with this. I could hear that little

voice in my head saying, "don't do it!

Don't you do it!" Jesus, why don't I

ever listen to myself?

SAMI:

Yeah, but you did do it. So let's deal

with that.

MARCEL:

What are you guys so scared of? Zammito

doesn't know who we are. We just get

out of town and it's over.
