AARONOW:

What?

MOSS:

Someone should stand up and strike

back.

AARONOW:

What do you mean?

MOSS:

Somebody...

AARONOW:

Yes...?

MOSS:

Should do something to them.

AARONOW:

What?

23.

MOSS:

Something. To pay them back.

(pause)

Someone, someone should hurt them.

Murray and Mitch.

AARONOW:

Someone should hurt them.

MOSS:

Yes.

AARONOW:

(pause)

How?

MOSS:

How? Do something to hurt them.

Where they live.

AARONOW:

What?

(pause)

MOSS:

Someone should rob the office.

AARONOW:

Huh.

MOSS:

That's what I'm saying. We were,

if we were that kind of guys, to

knock it off, and trash the joint,

it looks like robbery, and take the

f***in' leads out of the files...go

to Jerry Graff.

Long pause.

AARONOW:

What could somebody get for them?

MOSS:

What could we get for them? I

don't know. Buck a throw...buck-a-

half a throw...I don't know...Hey,

who knows what they're worth, what

do they pay for them? All

told...must be, I'd... three bucks

a throw...I don't know.

24.

AARONOW:

How many leads have we got?

MOSS:

The Glengarry...the premium leads...?

I'd say we got five thousand. Five.

Five thousand leads.

AARONOW:

And you're saying a fella could

take and sell these leads to Jerry

Graff.

MOSS:

Yes.

AARONOW:

How do you know he'd buy them?

MOSS:

Graff? Because I worked for him.

AARONOW:

You haven't talked to him.

MOSS:

No. What do you mean? Have I

talked to him about this?

Pause.

AARONOW:

Yes. I mean are you actually

talking about this, or are we just...

MOSS:

No, we're just...

AARONOW:

We're just "talking" about it.

MOSS:

We're just speaking about it.

(pause)

As an idea.

AARONOW:

As an idea.

MOSS:

Yes.

AARONOW:

We're not actually talking about it.

25.

MOSS:

No.

AARONOW:

Talking about it as a...

MOSS:

No.

AARONOW:

As a robbery.

MOSS:

As a "robbery"?! No.

AARONOW:

Well. Well...

MOSS:

Hey.

Pause.

AARONOW:

So all this, um, you didn't,

actually, you didn't go talk to

Graff.

MOSS:

Not actually, no.

Pause.

AARONOW:

You didn't?

MOSS:

No. Not actually.

AARONOW:

Did you?

MOSS:

What did you say?

MOSS:

Yes.

(pause)

I said, "Not actually." The f***

you care, George? We're just

talking...

AARONOW:

We are?

26.

MOSS:

Yes.

Pause.

AARONOW:

Because, because, you know, it's a

crime.

MOSS:

That's right. It's a crime. It is

a crime. It's also very safe.

AARONOW:

You're actually talking about this?

MOSS:

That's right.

Pause.

AARONOW:

You're going to steal the leads?

MOSS:

Have I said that?

Pause.

AARONOW:

Are you?

Pause.

MOSS:

Did I say that?

AARONOW:

Did you talk to Graff?

MOSS:

Is that what I said?

AARONOW:

What did he say?

MOSS:

What did he say? He'd buy them.

Pause.

AARONOW:

You're going to steal the leads and

sell the leads to him?

27.

Pause.

MOSS:

Yes.

AARONOW:

What will he pay?

MOSS:

A buck a shot.

AARONOW:

For five thousand?

MOSS:

However they are, that's the deal.

A buck a throw. Five thousand

dollars. Split it half and half.

AARONOW:

You're saying "me."

MOSS:

Yes.

(pause)

Twenty-five hundred apiece. One

night's work, and the job with

Graff. Working the premium leads.

Pause.

AARONOW:

A job with Graff.

MOSS:

Is that what I said?

AARONOW:

He'd give me a job.

MOSS:

He would take you on. Yes.

Pause.

AARONOW:

Is that the truth?

28.

MOSS:

Yes. It is, George.

(pause)

Yes. It's a big decision.

(pause)

And it's a big reward.

(pause)

It's a big reward. For one night's

work.

(pause)

But it's got to be tonight.
