JOE BUDDHA sprinkling sawdust on the shuffleboard table.

HENRY (V.O.)

Joe Buddha had to round up the

workers.

CUT TO:

FAT LOUIE:

who is about 300 pounds and is sitting backwards in a chair,

watching the television with a drink in his hand.

HENRY (V.O.)

Fat Louis had to keep than tied up

and away from alarms.

CUT TO:

MARTY:

Shoving his way between JIMMY and HENRY at the bar and

turning to the television basketball game.

HENRY:

Only Marty was driving us nuts. He

was busting Jimmy's balls for an

advance on the money we were going

to steal.

CUT TO:

STACKS EDWARDS:

who is sitting at the bar, delicately stirring his drink

with his pinky.

HENRY (V.O.)

Even Stacks got in on it. He was

supposed to steal the panel truck

and afterwards compact it by a

friend of ours in Jersey.

CUT TO:

INT. KAREN AND HENRY'S BEDROOM - DAY

ANGLE ON BABY:

JUDY WICKS, a young, pale blonde woman, puts the BABY and

an overnight bag on the bed as HENRY and KAREN watch.

HENRY:

I had everybody working. Even our

old babysitter.

KAREN:

(enthused)

She's beautiful. Look at her.

Henry, look at her.

HENRY:

(singsong)

Hello! Hello!

(to Judy)

Have a good flight?

JUDY:

I hate Pittsburgh.

WE SEE JUDY WICKS unwrap the BABY'S pink snowsuit and take

off its hood and mittens as HENRY opens JUDY's overnight

bag and takes out some Pampers and then he takes out several

plastic bags with cocaine and heroin.

JUDY:

Where'd you find such creeps?

HENRY:

They're okay and it's worth it.

Ain't it?

KAREN:

(playing with the

baby)

Is this the same one as last time?

JUDY:

(amazed that Karen

can't tell the

difference)

No. That one was my sister's. This

is Louise's.

KAREN:

Look at her, Henry, is she sweet?

Doesn't she look like Judy?

JUDY:

That's what the stewardess said.

WE SEE HENRY barely listening while putting the drugs in a

paper bag.

CUT TO:

INT. ROBIN'S HOUSE

EXTREME CLOSE OF - COKEBALLS

COME BACK TO SEE HENRY at table making "cokeballs" in a

metal press.

CUT TO:

LINE OF COKE ON A MIRROR

shoved under HENRY's nostril.

WE SEE straw inserted into HENRY's nostril as he casually

inhales. He never stops pressing the cokeballs.

TRACK OUT TO ROBIN 'taking a snort herself, and the sloppy

table with the drags, scales, mixers, bowls and sieves.

ROBIN is razor-blading two more lines.

HEHRY:

(watching out of

the corner of his

eye)

Hey! Watch out.

WE SEE ROBIN lick her finger and then run her finger across

HENRY'S tongue. Be licks, but does not react as he takes

several golf-ball-size cokeballs out of the machine and

puts then in a leather pouch. Be gets up to leave.

ROBIN:

Stay there.

HENRY:

Don't start. I told you to clean

up. Look at this place. It's a

pigpen. Look around here. Why do

you think I bought you the

dishwasher? Look. Look at this.

(sticking his finger

under Robin's nose)

There's enough powder around here

to put us all away.

ROBIN:

(licking Henry's

finger and playfully

pushing him into

the chair)

I hate to do dishes.

HENRY:

(sitting down again)

Hey, come on. I gotta meet somebody.

ROBIN:

(reaching over his

shoulder toward

his crotch)

So do I.

WE SEE HENRY look at his watch.

INT. ROBIN'S SHOWER

HENRY is listening to the radio while taking his shower.

RADIO NEWS BROADCASTER (V.O.)

... and nobody knows for sure just

how much was taken in the daring

pre-dawn raid at the Lufthansa

cargo terminal at Kennedy Airport.

The FBI says two million dollars.

Port Authority police say four

million dollars, the city cops say

five. How much maximum? That they

won't say. So far, Lufthansa has

not said anything, but they've

promised to break their silence

soon with a press conference, and

WINS will be there to cover it

live from the scene of the heist

at JFK when they do. It looks like

a big one. Maybe the biggest this

town has ever seen. Stay tuned ...
