Duplicity Page #7

CLAIRE O VER PHONE;

Find someone else to bother;

RAY; Red, white and blue margaritas;

CLAIRE; Stay away from me;

RAY; I had a knee brace, you had toe rings;

First toe ring I ever saw, by the way;

Well, I'll give her this;

She is one cold, nasty piece of work;

- When did she send this to you?

- She didn't tape it; You did;

We had a bug in your phone;

We had the whole thing wired;

Hey, we had to; New guy on the team?

This late in the game?

What can I tell you?

The b*tch put me through the wringer;

Look, if I'd have known it was her,

I would never have taken the job;

- No, no; You didn't tell us the truth, Ray;

- Are you firing me, Duke?

Why didn't you do it then?

Why not fire me that day?

- Why keep me around?

- DUKE:
Why?

Because you're the biggest swinging dick

I've ever seen;

(BOTH LAUGHING)

Come on! We thought we were losing her;

We thought we'd had her out there too long

and she'd gone off the rails;

And that's why we brought you in;

But this?

This is more than we ever expected;

When you drop the hammer on her,

when you take her to the bar; ; ;

CLAIRE O VER PHONE;

You've 10 seconds to get your hand off me;

RAY O VER PHONE;

Or what? You won't be my friend anymore?

No, no, no, no, no;

Do the other one; Do the other one;

- Okay; Here;

- Right;

RAY; Now, maybe you're so used to having

your legs in the air you don't realize it,

but you're upside down, sister;

I own you;

Damn! Man, I wish I had video on this!

"I own you;"

- Who else knows about this?

- Just me, just me and Dale;

So you were just kidding

about the meet with Garsik, right?

No, no; That's for real;

But don't worry about her;

I mean, obviously, she doesn't need to know

that we know what's going on,

so you just keep; ; ;

You know, just play it straight;

Of course;

RAY; 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, where I really excel,

people I've slept with;

(BOTH LAUGHING)

- "I own you;"

- "I own you;"

- "I own you;"

- DALE:
"I own you;"

(BOTH LAUGHING)

You should have called;

I could have been home hours ago;

- Where's your bag?

- I'm on the red-eye;

- No;

- I'm supposed to be in Houston;

I had to blow my connection; It was

the only way I'd steal a couple of hours;

You should have paged me;

I've been sitting in the office

doing field reports, for Christ's sake;

I couldn't risk it;

- From a pay phone?

- Not from anywhere;

Why? What's going on?

- Nigel Bingham;

- Nigel Bingham?

- You were together in Athens;

- He was my station chief;

- You still on good terms?

- Great; Why?

Equikrom, the special unit, they're hiring;

Duke needs a field agent;

I figured out a way to get you in;

It's happening, Ray; It's war;

- What do you mean, war?

- I mean like a total corporate death match;

We're on; B% R is about to make a move;

- What kind of move?

- Some new product; Something big;

What do you mean, "big"?

Big, big like we've had four top-down

tech sweeps in the last two weeks;

Big like three days ago

we started auditing passwords hourly;

This morning I got a message from Duke;

He wants me to go active;

I'm gonna get word to him tomorrow

that unless he gets me a great field officer

to work with he can forget it;

You're gonna get that job;

Without knowing what the product is?

Well, that's the point; Nobody knows;

All we have to do is get there first;

You on one side, me on the other;

It's perfect;

What does all this have to do

with Nigel Bingham?

He's Duke's drinking buddy;

They play cards twice a week;

You call Nigel;

You're just checking in,

you're stuck in Cleveland,

you're going crazy,

you're calling everybody;

Tell him you're desperate to get to New York;

Aren't you desperate to get to New York?

- Well, yeah, of course I am, but it's just; ; ;

- Just what?

Well, the pizza thing's really heating up;

We're launching Frozen Hawaiian

next month, pineapple and ham;

First time anyone's ever done that;

Congratulations;

Well, it's not the first first time

'cause those weasels at Flakey Fresh

stole the idea from Butter Mills,

and then, you'll love this,

we find out that the Vice President of

Marketing has this 22-year-old assistant

who's $60,000 in debt

to a TV shopping network; Bingo;

Really;

Are these hers?

What is that?

It's a thong; It was in your closet;

That's not possible;

Well, whose are they?

- Nobody's because it's impossible;

- Impossible what?

That someone would leave them,

or you'd forget or that I'd find them?

Impossible because I've been faithful;

Which closet?

- Which closet?

- This is insane;

- You're denying this?

- Absolutely;

The only woman who's been in this place

since I moved in is the landlady

and she couldn't wear that as a wristband;

So where did they come from?

Look, I swear to you;

Claire, I swear,

I swear on all things good and true,

I have no idea who they belong to;

And the fact that you don't believe me,

the fact that we've been through

everything that we've been through

and that you still don't trust me on this,

is, quite frankly, disturbing;

Well, in that case, I'll put them back on;

They're yours?

You passed;

You're gaming me?

I just needed to hear you say it;

- You're that upset?

- Yeah, I think so;

But kind of turned on, too, right?

The drag is I've only got 55 minutes

to make it up to you;

RICHARD:
Forget it;

I never liked this game;

Any sport that puts a limit on your score

is a complete waste of time;

Three hundred, that's it?

What, are you gonna bust your nut to do

something 9 million other jokers might do?

Stupidest damn thing I ever heard of;

Okay, so don't turn around,

but she just came in;

- We're cool though, right? She see us?

- Oh, yeah;

- I look natural, right?

- Super natural;

Who picked this place?

- You have a problem?

- It's a little bright;

- So this gentleman here is; ; ;

- I know who he is;

You do? Even with the hat?

She's a trained professional;

Yeah, yeah, I can see that;

I can definitely; ; ;

Would you; ; ;

You know what, we got beers here;

- Would you care for something?

- She's fine;

- I'm starving;

- Well, hell, then we should feed you;

I'd love some pizza;

Do you think they have pizza?

I'll just bet that they do, yeah;

- Or even frozen pizza;

- Okay;

- I don't think so;

- Why don't you go take a look-see?

You'd smell it if they did;

I don't give a damn if you have to go

to Sicily, get the lady some pizza!

Any particular topping you'd like?

Surprise me;

BOY:
Pepperoni;

Super Cheese-a-peno;

Mushroom;

Mushroom and onion;

Plain;

- Hawaiian;

- Plain;

- Do you like it hot or; ; ;

- Yeah, hot; Very hot;

Extremely hot;

You want something to drink?

Yeah, sure, whatever;

What's going on? What just happened?

You; ; ;

You gotta get Duke; You gotta get Duke;

And you've gotta tell him

to get me a secure line

because he's gotta call me right away;
