Dog Day Afternoon Page #30

LEON:

Would you do something for me?

Please?

SONNY:

What?

LEON:

These guys that got me down here,

you know, huh... they think that I'm

part of this whole thing. They think

I'm part of the plot to rob the bank!

SONNY:

How did they think that? What are

they... crazy? What do you mean.

That's bullshit, Leon. They're giving

you a fucken story.

LEON:

Well... they told me that I was an

accomplice...

SONNY:

Oh... they're fucken crazy. That's

a snow job. Don't listen to that

sh*t!

LEON:

I gotta listen to it if they think...

SONNY:

Sh*t...

LEON:

I can't survive in prison, Sonny...

SONNY:

All right. Then what do you want me

to say?

LEON:

Sonny, would you please just tell

them... please...

SONNY:

Where are they now? Just tell me...

are they on the phone now?

LEON:

(meekly)

Yeah.

SONNY:

(annoyed)

That's great. Just terrific. You

talk to me with them on the phone,

right? That is really smart. And,

you don't tell me?

LEON:

I don't have a choice.

SONNY:

You don't have a choice?

LEON:

No! They're standing all around me.

Seven thousand fucken cops... all

around me.

SONNY:

Look... who's on the phone?

LEON:

Look... don't throw that on me.

SONNY:

Who's on the phone, now? What do

you mean... throw it on you? You

knew it, right?

LEON:

Yeah... I knew it. But, what choice

do I have? I'm in the hospital;

they drag me out of the hospital...

bring me down here...

SONNY:

All right, enough! Who the f*** is

on the phone... anyway? Is that you

Moretti?

(angrily into phone)

You on the phone? Will somebody

talk to me?

LEON:

They won't talk to you.

SONNY:

Are they on the phone still?

LEON:

Yeah... yeah!

SONNY:

(still angry)

All right! He didn't do it. All

right? Now... would you get the

f*** off the phone? I'll bet that

really changed them, huh?

(calmly to Leon)

Anyway, Leon... did I do it for you?

LEON:

Yeah... huh, thank you. I'm going

to go back, Sonny, to the hospital.

They're really nice people. They're

really trying to help me.

SONNY:

That's good then. You've found

something.

LEON:

Well... I don't know if I have or

not.

SONNY:

Do you still want the operation?

LEON:

(moody)

Yeah... yeah.

SONNY:

Well, then...

LEON:

It's my only chance!

SONNY:

I don't know what to say to ya! I

guess I just wanted to say I'll see

ya... or whatever.

LEON:

Thank you much... and huh, bon voyage.

SONNY:

Right. See you sometime.

LEON:

Yeah... see ya in my dreams, huh?

SONNY:

Yeah... I'll write a song. Ha, ha.

I don't know. Life is funny!

LEON:

You said a mouthful... sweetheart!

INT. BANK

Sonny hangs up, walks back toward rear of bank and picks up

receiver again on Edna's desk.

SONNY:

(into phone)

You cut off incoming, gimme a line.

I want to talk to my wife, I want to

say goodbye to my kids.

(line is connected,

he begins to dial;

anguished; to the

group)

Here I am, I could call, and they'd

put anybody on the phone, the Pope,

an astronaut, the wisest of the wise

and who do I have to call?

(to phone; as she

answers)

Heidi?
