Double Take Page #3

Synopsis: The governor of a Mexican state is assassinated. Soon after, junior executive Daryl Chase's life turns upside down: after he flags a huge transfer of funds from a Mexican account as probably illegal, he's attacked in his apartment, rescued by a CIA agent, finds his secretary shot dead, and witnesses two cops get killed. He calls the CIA guy who tells him to grab the next train to Mexico. Leaving Manhattan, Daryl can't shake a jive-talking street punk named Freddy, and soon he's traded clothes with Freddy to escape the police. Within days, his girlfriend, his boss, his client, Freddy, the FBI, and the dead governor's dog are tangled in a web of deceit and danger. Who's who?

It's all good in the hood. It's

all good. How's it going there, sir?

I want you to check the numbers on the ticker

tape and I'll get back to you at 7:00. All right?

Look, bro, just act black.

That's all you gotta do.

Say, blood.

- What it is, jive turkey.

- Hey, hey, hey, bro...

All right, mama.

What's the last movie you seen, man?

Car Wash?

Man, you can kiss my ass.

Car Wash was a good movie.

Final boarding call

for the Empire Builder...

with service to Newark...

Hey, Mr. Chase!

In the blue suit!

- Mr. Chase! - Hey, hey, hey! What is your problem?

Get your hands off of me, mister!

- All right, I'm sorry. We made a mistake.

- Of course you made a mistake.

And I demand an apology

from the both of you.

What is this all about? A white man

in a suit with a black man in a suit...

African-American male, 6'1 "to 6'3",

wearing a blue suit.

- Why you puttin' your hands on me?

- Did you say blue suit?

Copy that.

You'll love it.

- How rude.

- I'm talking to you!

- Whoa! Whoa! Would you just get on the train?

- Just get on the train.

- Some kind of Feds, huh? - We

gotta go. - I know my rights!

What do you want? There's not

gonna be any Rodney Kings going on.

- Hey! Oh, I'm doing good.

- Hey, how are you, sir?

- You got your ticket?

- Yes, yes, yes. How you doin', sisters?

This is their first time on a train.

I'm trying to tell them how much fun

they're gonna have.

Oh. There's a first time

for everything.

You must not do that, young man.

Look, we're not trying

to give you a hard time, Mr. Allsworth.

But imagine how we feel when two

of our fellow officers turn up dead.

Well, why don't I ask the commissioner about it

tomorrow when he comes to my house for cocktails?

Yes, he is a friend of mine.

And so is Daryl Chase.

A very good friend.

I brought him into this firm.

He is the best and the brightest. I refuse to

believe that he has anything to do with this.

Okay, good. Now we're all very clear

on what you refuse to believe.

So why don't I tell you what we do

believe? We believe you're full of sh*t.

And we believe Daryl Chase is up to no good.

Now, we followed him all the way to Penn Station.

- Where do you think he was going?

- Vacation, maybe.

Vaca... Did he... Did he maybe have a

little vacation time stored up, Mr. Allsworth?

- What's your point? - My point is that

we've notified the authorities everywhere...

Mexico, Canada, Oz. Wherever he goes,

they're gonna catch him.

But just in case there's a slight possibility that

he contacts you first, do me one little favor.

Pick up the phone,

give us a call, okay?

- Good day, Mr. Allsworth.

- Goodbye, Mr. Allsworth.

- You know, I actually believed you were NYPD.

- You did a very good job too.

You know, most people who wear these

are actually missing a tooth.

- I just liked the way it looked.

- You would.

It look good on you, though, bro.

It look good.

Hi. Just the man I'm looking for. I need

two phone lines put in this room if I can.

I need an Internet access on one, fax on the other,

paper at every stop... New York Times...

He needs a fax.

He needs a fax.

I got all your money.

Look at that, girl.

Smell it.

That's right. Can buy

a whole lot of dog food with that.

Whole lot of dog...

You're a little cutie pie,

you know that?

- Those things are not included in the

price of a ticket. - All I need...

is two phone lines in this room:

One with Internet access...

- You're being rude, just like you were today

to those two nuns. - One with a fax.

- Making new friends, are we?

- Good morning, sir. How are you? Having a nice trip?

I'm having an excellent time.

Look. Whatever my friend needs here,

you put that on my tab.

You got it, sir.

Whatever you say, you got it.

What a gentleman. You gotta love him.

You were rude.

Racist a**hole.

Ah, you're gettin' a taste

of your own medicine.

Now you're startin' to find out

it wasn't the brother in the suit...

but it was the suit

that was on the brother...

that got you

your so-called respect.

Nice watch, ain't it?

Yeah, uh, it's... it's real classy.

Look, uh, Freddy, I appreciate everything

you did helping me get on this train.

And I ain't gonna forget it. But when we get

to the next stop, we go our own separate ways.

- Your services are no longer required.

- Oh. Oh, well, ain't that a b*tch.

It's just like you rich people. When

you get done using us downtrodden...

hood recipients...

you wanna kick us to the curb.

Throw us to the wolves

like some naked sheep.

What the hell do naked sheep got

to do with ghetto recipients, Freddy?

- What the hell are you talking about?

- I give you this much.

You know, you probably went to some kind

of accredited school, college and whatnot.

- Yeah, I went to Harvard. So what?

- Well, you know, I went to H.K. U...

Hard Knock University.

And that's what you gonna

need to get out of this.

They ain't gonna take no book smarts.

Street smarts.

- I don't need you, Freddy.

- You saying you smarter than me?

- I'm saying I'm smarter than you.

- You smarter than me?

- I'm smarter than you.

- Your neurons are firing quicker than mine are.

I got your Bulgari ring, your watch...

your Italian suit

that caresses me, oh, so well...

and a phat wad of cash...

that you said was two Gs...

ah, in what used to be

your inner pocket.

And I got all of that

in less than ten seconds, girl.

Did you hear her? Say it again, baby.

Ten seconds. But you smarter than me.

Come on. Let's burn some ants.

We're gonna burn some bugs

with these here.

What are you doing here?

Well, according to the two D cups

on your watch, it's dinnertime.

You got dinnertime money?

I'm just jokin'. I'm just jokin'.

- You know, your credit's good with me.

- Excuse me, sir.

Here's the paper you wanted.

That's for him.

- Thanks, Guido.

- It's Vito.

- Whatever. - Thank

you, sir. - Anytime now.

- Why don't you just bury your head in his ass?

- Let's see. One dinner...

- You gentlemen ready to order?

- Ah, yes, yes.

I'm going to have...

Let's see here.

The prime rib, medium rare.

And bring me some Grand Marnier

over the rocks.

That's the way we used to have it when I

was in Harvard. Chauncey made the best ones.

I'm gonna have the yard bird

burnt to a crisp.

Now, I need you to spit on that

with a little bit of hot Tabasco.

And I'm gonna wash all that down

with a 40 dog of Schlitz malt liquor.

I'm sorry, sir. I don't believe

we have Schlitz malt liquor.

No Schlitz malt liquor?

No Schlitz malt liquor?

Well, ain't that some sh*t. How you

gonna run a successful business...

and you ain't got

no Schlitz malt liquor?

You ain't keepin' it real.

You ain't representin'.

What you doin' up in here, boy?

Uh, uh, uh, sh*t.

- I'll see what I can do, sir.

- Ya do that.

Fresh-Prince-of-Bel-Air-looking mo...

He do look like

the father on the Fresh Prince.

Hey, uh, look, bro.

We ain't gettin' nowhere by fightin'.

Why don't you just talk to me?
