AARONOW:

What?

MOSS:

What? What? The leads.

AARONOW:

You have to steal the leads tonight?

MOSS:

That's right, the guys are moving

them downtown. After the thirtieth.

Murray and Mitch. After the contest.

AARONOW:

You're, you're saying so you have

to go in there tonight and...

MOSS:

You...

AARONOW:

I'm sorry?

MOSS:

You.

Pause.

AARONOW:

Me?

MOSS:

You have to go in.

(pause)

You have to get the leads.

Pause.

AARONOW:

I do?

29.

MOSS:

Yes.

AARONOW:

I...

MOSS:

It's not something for nothing,

George, I took you in on this, you

have to go. That's your thing.

I've made the deal with Graff. I

can't go. I can't go in, I've

spoken on this too much. I've got

a big mouth.

(pause)

"The f***ing leads" et cetera, blah

blah blah "...the f***ing tight ass

company..."

AARONOW:

They'll know when you go over to

Graff...

MOSS:

What will they know? That I stole

the leads? I didn't steal the

leads, I'm going to the movies

tonight with a friend, and then I'm

going to the Como Inn. Why did I

go to Graff? I got a better deal.

Period. Let 'em prove something.

They can't prove anything that's

not the case.

Pause.

AARONOW:

Dave.

MOSS:

Yes.

AARONOW:

You want me to break into the

office tonight and steal the leads?

MOSS:

Yes.

Pause.

AARONOW:

No.

30.

MOSS:

Oh, yes, George.

AARONOW:

What does that mean?

MOSS:

Listen to this. I have an alibi,

I'm going to the Como Inn, why?

Why? The place gets robbed,

they're going to come looking for

me. Why? Because I probably did

it. Are you going to turn me in?

(pause)

George? Are you going to turn me in?

AARONOW:

What if you don't get caught?

MOSS:

They come to you, you going to turn

me in?

AARONOW:

Why would they come to me?

MOSS:

They're going to come to everyone.

AARONOW:

Why would I do it?

MOSS:

You wouldn't, George, that's why

I'm talking to you. Answer me.

They come to you. You going to

turn me in?

AARONOW:

No.

MOSS:

Are you sure?

AARONOW:

Yes. I'm sure.

MOSS:

Then listen to this: I have to get

those leads tonight. That's

something I have to do. If I'm not

at the movies...if I'm not eating

over at the inn...If you don't do

this, then I have to come in here...

31.

AARONOW:

...you don't have to come in...

MOSS:

...and rob the place...

AARONOW:

...I thought that we were only

talking...

MOSS:

...they take me, then. They're

going to ask me who were my

accomplices.

AARONOW:

Me?

MOSS:

Absolutely.

AARONOW:

That's ridiculous.

MOSS:

Well, to the law, you're an

accessory. Before the fact.

AARONOW:

I didn't ask to be.

MOSS:

Then tough luck, George, because

you are.

AARONOW:

Why? Why, because you only told me

about it?

MOSS:

That's right.

AARONOW:

Why are you doing this to me, Dave.

Why are you talking this way to me?

I don't understand. Why are you

doing this at all...?

MOSS:

That's none of your f***ing

business...

32.

AARONOW:

Well, well, well, talk to me, we

sat down to eat dinner, and here

I'm a criminal...

MOSS:

You went for it.

AARONOW:

In the abstract...

MOSS:

So I'm making it concrete.

AARONOW:

Why?

MOSS:

Why? Why you going to give me five

grand?

AARONOW:

Do you need five grand?

MOSS:

Is that what I just said?

AARONOW:

You need money? Is that the...

MOSS:

Hey, hey, let's just keep it

simple, what I need is not

the...what do you need...?

AARONOW:

What is the five grand?

(pause)

What is the, you said that we were

going to split five...

MOSS:

I lied.

(pause)

Alright? My end is my business.

Your end's twenty-five. In or out.

You tell me, you're out you take

the consequences.
