Duplicity Page #11

Synopsis: Ray works for MI6, Claire for the CIA. She burns him in Dubai. Jump ahead five years: he sees her in Grand Central and confronts her. Both now work in industrial security for corporate giants whose CEOs hate each other. Flashbacks fill us in: is it coincidence that he sees her in Grand Central? In about a week, one of the firms is going to announce a revolutionary product. Under the guise of helping that corporation's rival, can Ray and Claire work their own theft and find an independent buyer? To work together, using the corporate rivalry to their advantage, they would have to trust one another - difficult, if not impossible. Or, is one playing the other?

what this would be like,

where we'd be, what I'd say, what you'd say;

But I never; ; ;

You can cut me off there any time you like;

- Sorry; I spaced out;

- Okay; So?

- You wanna start over?

- No, no; Just go from there;

- Can I have a sip of that?

- Go;

You clearly have me confused

with someone else;

I don't know; I mean, I'm not great on names;

I should be; I try;

Faces, I'm definitely better;

Faces, I'm like a B, B minus;

Where I'm good, people I've screwed;

That's a real area of strength for me;

Wrong;

- That was perfect;

- It's "people I've slept with;"

- And I like "traditional;"

- What do you mean?

"That's been a traditional area of strength

for me;"

People I've slept with; That's been

a traditional area of strength for me;

That's nicer;

Look, seriously,

I don't know who you think I am, but; ; ;

- You're gonna enunciate, right?

- What?

You've gotta really speak up;

So you're, like, directing me now?

You wanna go out there tomorrow

and have them not hear it?

You are directing me;

No, I'm just filling a gap

in the chain of command;

Well, come back here and say that;

Claire, come on; We're doing this for real

in less than 12 hours;

I know; It's just this whole thing

makes me think about Rome,

and when I think about Rome,

I think about you and; ; ;

Let's just do it one more time;

CLAIRE:
; ; ;when I think about you,

I can barely enunciate;

- One more time without the robe;

- RAY:
I don't work naked;

CLAIRE:
You know I know it;

RAY:
So show me;

CLAIRE:
You show me;

RAY:
(CHUCKLES) Look,

let's just do it all the way through;

RAY O VER SPEAKER; From the top,

one more time, and then I'll take off the robe;

CLAIRE; If you love me,

you'll do it without the robe, now;

RAY; Okay; From the top; No robe;

RAY; Remember me?

CLAIRE; Sure; Of course; We; ; ;

RAY; Long time, huh?

CLAIRE; Yes; I'm; ; ;

RAY; Gotcha;

CLAIRE; Look, I'm sorry; Really, I just; ; ;

RAY; Sorry; Sorry;

CLAIRE; (LAUGHS)

I'm just drawing a blank here;

RAY; You're drawing what?

CLAIRE; Excuse me?

Perfect; They're perfect!

Does that mean we're a go, sir?

Or we could spend another year

looking for ways to bait this trap,

and we wouldn't come up

with anything even close;

They're perfect; What a way to walk this in;

I'm only asking;

We made sure she found the speech;

JEFF; The rough draft;

We let her find it this afternoon;

But we could still stall a little bit

if we need to tighten things up;

Once it's activated, Howard, we're in;

It's gonna be impossible

to call back the troops;

No; No, no, no, no;

We're not stalling anymore;

- So is this everything?

- Yes, sir;

So the speech; ; ; Here is your final copy;

HOWARD; ; ; ; the details,

the very existence of this project

must be so carefully protected;

The rough draft that we prepped

with you last week is in play;

DALE; This is starting to look pretty good;

DUKE; I can't even tell them apart;

Which one is the new one?

PAM:
For the travel records,

the Dunwoody material,

we've logged

about 200 false-flag travel orders;

Formavale? Damned if I know;

Some kind of biotech;

PAM:
Cars, planes, hotels, everything;

Then we buried them in the actual files;

- And when they start digging?

- They find Ronnie;

Yes; And there's a plane waiting

to take me back to the Bahamas

once we're done here tonight;

(SIGHS)

RONNIE:
This is my high school yearbook;

And the transcripts;

RICHARD; You gotta stop waltzing around,

and you have got to get on this guy;

So we take Ronnie's reality

until two years ago

and we lay in our story on top;

PHYSEC 1; We started turning on the lights;

We heard some scurrying around,

we had a little foot race;

It took a couple of minutes,

but we found him down here

hiding under the desk;

The trips to Dunwoody,

the background

on the Formavale acquisitions,

the midnight load-outs,

it's all in place and ready to go;

Great work; Inspiring; Incredible;

This is more fun than if we really had it;

Ten days, that's the deadline;

Garsik has his shareholder meeting

in 10 days;

Light the fuse; Put it in play;

CLAIRE:
Don't;

RAY:
Don't what?

CLAIRE:
Don't say it;

RAY:
Say what?

CLAIRE:
I know what you're thinking;

You're wondering

if I gave you a bogus formula;

You're thinking maybe I've got the real one

stashed someplace else;

That's sick, even for you;

But it crossed your mind;

- That's why I get the big bucks;

- Because I would never do that;

- Because you love me;

- Exactly;

Mr; Koval and Miss Stenwick?

Read it;

Read it;

RAY:
"Compliments of Howard Tully;"

- We got totally played, didn't we?

- Yep;

Must go pretty far back;

- Like; ; ;

- Way back;

I guess on a strictly professional level, it's; ; ;

Impressive;

- I mean; ; ;

- Yeah;

At least we have each other;

- It really is that bad, isn't it?

- Kind of, yeah;

- I didn't mean; ; ;

- I know;

- I can't breathe;

- You'll be okay;

- When?

- After we wake up in Rome;

CLAIRE:
I might have to wake up in Rome

for a long time;

RAY:
Sounds like a plan;

- CROWD; Dick! Dick! Dick! Dick!

- Dick! Dick! Dick! Dick!

- Dick! Dick! Dick! Dick!

- Dick! Dick! Dick! Dick!

I won't begin to understand

How I just found the perfect man

Where have you been hiding out?

You're deadly

You turn me on

You spun me out

You know just what I'm all about

I've got my eyes all over you

You're tricky

Now I see

How life could be

A scent so sweet

You've got me falling

Being bad never felt so good

Being bad never felt so good

Being bad never felt so good, my dear

I never lie or never cheat

Unless I think it will make you see

Precisely what it is

I need from you, babe

A perfect match

A naughty game

Please, I never want

to be the same

A perfect sin you've got me in

your web's maze

Now I see how life could be

You are so sweet

You've got me falling

Being bad never felt so good

Being bad never felt so good

Being bad never felt so good, my dear

Being bad never felt so good

Being bad never felt so good

Being bad never felt so good, my dear

Oh! Being bad

I love being bad

Being bad never felt so good

Never felt so good
