From Dusk till Dawn Page #21

Synopsis: On the run from a bank robbery that left several police officers dead, Seth Gecko (George Clooney) and his paranoid, loose-cannon brother, Richard (Quentin Tarantino), hightail it to the Mexican border. Kidnapping preacher Jacob Fuller (Harvey Keitel) and his kids, the criminals sneak across the border in the family's RV and hole up in a topless bar. Unfortunately, the bar also happens to be home base for a gang of vampires, and the brothers and their hostages have to fight their way out.

Richie, mesmerized, sucks the whiskey off her toes. The CROWD

GOES WILD. Santanico smiles, master of all she surveys.

Jacob and Scott are embarrassed.

Kate, oddly enough, is turned on by the controlling power

this woman has over a man she's deathly feared.

Seth laughs out loud a Mexican "yi yi yiii" laugh, keeping

the beat with his guitar.

Across the room, Razor Charlie, Chet by his side, motions

over Big Emilio. He begins explaining with pointing what

Seth and company did to Chet.

Richard continues to suck her toes.

The song ends, Santanico extracts her foot from Richard's

mouth. Steps off the table. Takes a drink of whiskey. Looks

down at the seated Richard.

She GRABS the back of his hair, YANKS his head BACK. His

mouth OPENS because she's hurting him. She LEANS her FACE

OVER his like she's going to kiss him. Then let's the whiskey

from her mouth fall into his. They never touch. The crowd

applauds. She lets go of Richard's hair. Except for Jacob

and Richard, both for their own reasons, the table applauds,

none louder than Seth.

SETH:

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! Now that's what

I call a f***in' show!

One of Santanico's FLUNKIES brings the naked woman a robe,

which she puts on.

Richard, still in a daze, looks up at his new friend.

SETH:

(snapping his fingers)

Earth to Richie. Don't you wanna ask

your new friend to join us?

RICHARD:

Yeah.

SETH:

Well, then ask her, dumb ass.

RICHARD:

(looking up at

Santanico)

Por favor, Senorita. Would you care

to join us?

SANTANICO:

(to Richard)

Muy bien, gracias.

Santanico sits down next to Richie. Seth pours her a drink.

SETH:

Richie, you lucky bastard!

(to Santanico)

Now, little lady, you could of just

as easily done that to me. Whoa Nelly!

You got my dick harder 'n Chinese

arithmetic.

The table laughs.

SETH:

Which reminds me of a joke. Little

Red Riding Hood is walking through

the forest and she comes across Little

Bo Peep, and Little Bo Peep says:

"Little Red Riding Hood, are you

crazy? Don't you know the Big Bad

Wolf is walking these woods and if

he finds you he's gonna pull down

your dress and squeeze your titties?"

Then Little Red Riding Hood hitches

up her skirt and taps a .357 Magnum

she has holstered on her thigh and

says:
"No he won't."

As Seth tells his joke, Jacob notices Razor Charlie, Big

Emilio and Chet moving rapidly towards their table.

JACOB:

(to himself)

Oh, sh*t.

(to Seth)

Seth --

Seth waves him away.

SETH:

Not now. So finally she comes across

the Big Bad Wolf and the Big Bad

Wolf's laughing and says: "Little

Red Riding Hood, you know better

than to be walking around these woods

alone. You know I'm just gonna have

to pull down your dress and squeeze

your titties." Then Little Red Riding

Hood whips out her .357, c*cks it,

sticks it in the Big Bad Wolf's face

and says:
"No you won't. You're gonna

eat me, just like the story says."

Seth starts laughing at his own joke uproariously. Richard,

Kate, Scott and Santanico join in too. Before Jacob can say

anything --

The Titty Twister trio stand over the table.

RAZOR CHARLIE:

(to Chet in Spanish)

Which one?

CHET:

(pointing at Seth)

This piece of sh*t broke my finger

and my nose...

(pointing at Richard)

then this fag kicked me in the ribs

while I was down.

That's all Big Emilio has to hear.

BIG EMILIO:

(to The Gecko Brothers)

Up!

RICHARD:

F*** off, ape man!

Big Emilio leans in with his beefy hand, GRABS Richard by

the shoulder. Richard lets out a howl as blood pours from

his wounded shoulder.

Santanico steps back from the table.

Seth jumps to his feet and FIRES a round from his .45 into

Big Emilio, sending his bullet-ridden body to the floor.

Razor Charlie whips out a straight version of his name sake

and SLASHES Seth across the face.

Seth SCREAMS at the top of his lungs as his hand goes up to

his laid open cheek.

Richard, who has fallen to the ground holding his wound,

brings up his .45 and starts BLASTING.

Razor Charlie takes a bullet in the head, chest and belly

before he hits the floor.

Jacob and his children have hit the floor as well to stay

out of gunfire.
