Duplicity Page #10

because this was a nightmare;

- What is your problem?

- A copy machine?

He had me running

all over that goddamn building

looking for a copy machine;

- It worked, didn't it?

- Why didn't I just fax it?

Why? Because; ; ;

Tell her;

We had these machines all over the place;

Who the hell faxes anything anymore?

I am running around thinking, "What the hell

does this guy have me doing?"

- We had to get it out of there;

- There were 50 easier ways to do it!

- Did it work or not?

- For who? For you?

Was anybody with him

when he got the formula?

Has he ever been alone with it?

Could he have possibly made a copy of it?

- What the hell are you doing?

- I guess that's a no;

You're sick; She's sick;

CLAIRE:
Look, I know this guy, okay?

I should've told you that before,

but I couldn't

because he threatened the entire project;

He knows; He knows the whole thing;

No; He's right, Claire; I do;

I mean, I know that you two; ; ;

Do you know

he was on a CIA observation watch list?

That is total bullshit;

How'd he get on this project, anyway?

We're here for what, a year and a half?

How does he show up

three weeks before the payday?

- I just brought this home;

- What kind of watch list?

- You know what? No, forget it;

- No;

- I'm done here;

- Come on; Claire, wait!

CLAIRE:
You got what you wanted, Duke;

You just better make sure

you're the only one

who got what you wanted;

I don't believe that; That's unbelievable;

Well, you said it yourself;

You left her out there too long;

Pam?

Dinesh?

- It's possible;

- Guys, this is insane;

You bring me in to land the big fish,

I deliver, and this is the thanks I get;

This is the victory lap; What are you doing?

- You're gonna search me?

- Yeah; It takes five minutes;

- Because of that? Because of her?

- Does it matter?

DALE:
Duke;

Ain't that a b*tch;

(WOMAN CHATTERING O VER PA)

- Mr; Garsik, welcome to San Diego;

- Yeah; It's great to be here;

Remember me?

- I guess Duke bought it;

- Oh, yeah;

- I waited;

- I see that;

The Swiss buyers are waiting;

I got them to $35 million;

$17;5 split? Works for me;

- So tell me you have the formula;

- I thought you had it;

- I asked you first;

- You asked me first?

If I told you I loved you,

would it make any difference?

If you told me or if I believed you?

I love you;

I really do;

I don't know why you would believe me;

I don't know why

we'd believe anything anymore;

I just keep having this fantasy

that we suddenly snap out of it,

that we come out of this

and be like people are supposed to be,

like, trusting and honest;

- We're not like other people;

- I know that; Don't you think I know that?

Do you have any idea how frustrating it is

to know that you are the only man

who could ever possibly understand me?

Look, I know who you are;

And I love you anyway;

If I find out this is

because you don't have the formula

and you think maybe I do,

I'm gonna be seriously disappointed;

Okay;

Okay, look; What about this?

On the count of three,

whatever we've got, formula, no formula,

let's just put it on the table,

- one time, last time; ; ;

- I have it;

I said on the count of three;

I have it; Why wait? What's the point?

I love you;

I think about you all the time;

I think about you even when you're with me;

I look at you, I can't stop looking at you;

I look at you and I think, "That woman; ; ;

"That woman knows who I am

and loves me anyway;"

I have it, too;

RICHARD; It's a big room;

You get a big room, you don't fill it,

it's gonna look like sh*t;

- Hey? That was a question;

- Sorry;

- What's going on in there?

- The room?

- Yeah;

- It's full; They were lined up an hour ago;

These satellite people

better know what the hell they're doing;

- They know what they're doing, right?

- The uplink? It's all set;

'Cause I'm not stalling for them

while they get their act together;

- We're right on schedule;

- Will you stop?

I'm beautiful, okay? Enough; Thank you;

What the hell is so important in there?

What are you looking at?

Howard Tully;

He's calling an emergency press conference

for 8:
00 tomorrow morning in New York;

(LAUGHING)

ANNOUNCER; Ladies and gentlemen,

shareholders,

let's have a warm Equikrom welcome

to the man whose personal vision

and will to win

has turned this company

into the market leader it is today;

Join me in welcoming

our Chief Executive Officer, Dick Garsik!

(CROWD CHEERING)

(CROWD WHISTLING)

Thank you; Thank you;

Thank you; Thank you;

Whoa, whoa, thank you, thank you;

Oh, my goodness gracious,

thank you so much;

God, you people are out of your minds;

(PEOPLE LAUGHING)

$35 million;

These are the escrow certificates of deposit;

These are the corresponding

wire transfer codes;

These are the account numbers

and an authorized schedule of payment;

RICHARD; Now, you know,

everybody here who knows me

can tell you that there are three things

that I really don't like;

I don't like any kind of controversy;

(CROWD LAUGHING)

I can't stand being the center of attention;

But, you know, most of all,

I think you all know

how much I hate rushing into things;

(ALL LAUGHING)

RICHARD; Now, folks, for the past few years,

we have had a highly secret,

special research unit

that has been working on something

that we like to call Project Samson;

(CROWD MUTTERING)

But you know

what these scientists are like, right?

They're all over me;

They're like, "Please, Dick,

"slow down, be patient, be careful;

"Dick! Dick, please, we haven't published

our results yet; Dick!"

I say to hell with that!

(ALL CHEERING)

No; I say; ; ; I say to hell with hiding our light

under a basket;

I say, "You know what, guys?

"I'm meeting with my shareholders

and these people have got a right to know

"the incredible future

that we have got planned for this company!"

RICHARD; Yeah!

Come on!

Now, folks, I'm here today to announce

that we are in the final testing stages

of a safe, over-the-counter,

home-use shampoo product,

a product that can restore life

to formerly dead hair follicles;

(ALL MUTTERING)

Ladies and gentlemen, shareholders, yes!

Equikrom is in the home stretch

on a cure for baldness!

(ALL CHEERING WILDLY)

We got it;

RICHARD; That's right, we got it!

You!

You're gonna need it, pal! Look at you!

- ALL:
Dick! Dick! Dick! Dick!

- Dick! Dick! Dick! Dick!

(EXCLAIMING)

(CROWD WHOOPING)

(SPEAKING GERMAN)

RAY:
Is there a problem?

- Are you testing us?

- Excuse me?

- Or perhaps you think this is a joke;

- I don't understand;

Yes, apparently not;

(SPEAKING GERMAN)

This formula is nothing

but a common skin cream;

(SPEAKING GERMAN)

Sorry, a lotion;

CLAIRE:
I'm so sorry; I just; ; ;

RAY:
Just what?

CLAIRE:
I'm drawing a blank;

RAY:
Nice try;

A little professional courtesy

would make this a lot less awkward;

CLAIRE:
How do I know you?

RAY:
How do you know me?

Wow, that's a strong play;

Believe me, I've spent a lot of time thinking
