HENRY and JIMMY stare at MARRY blankly.

MARTY:

Listen, I need it, Jimmy. I need

it all.

JIMMY gets up to walk away without even looking at MARTY.

HEHRY:

Marty. Relax. You saw some money.

MARTY:

(continues anyway)

But I need it all. I owe people

too, you know.

WE SEE JIMMY walk toward small office in the back of the

bar.

MARTY:

Jimmy. Wait. Listen. Please!

WE SEE that MARTY is about to follow JIMMY into the room,

but HENRY stops him.

MARTY:

I want to talk to Jimmy.

HENRY:

He heard.

MARTY:

But I got two hundred and fifty

coming. It's my share. Jimmy

owes me.

HENRY:

(following Jimmy

into the backroom)

Marty, please. Let me talk to him.

CUT TO:

BACKROOM:

JIMMY and HENRY arc alone

WE SEE JIMMY take a thick stack of bills from inside his

jacket pocket and press than into HENRY's chest.

JIMMY:

For Christmas. Your share. It's

just a taste.

HENRY:

Jimmy.

JIMMY:

(embracing Henry)

We did it. We did it.

He hear a knock on the door.

JIMMY Stops as if caught.

MALE (O.S.)

Hey, Jimmy. Jimmy.

JIMMY returns to normal.

JIMMY:

Yeah, yeah. I'll be right there.

CUT TO:

INT. HENRY'S HOUSE - NIGHT

ANGLE ON HUGE ARTIFICIAL CHRISTMAS TREE

HE SEE HENRY coming in with the tree.

HENRY:

Hey! Look what I got. The most

expensive tree they had.

CUT TO:

HUGE WHITE TREE:

all set up with large purple balls.

WE SEE KAREN and the CHILDREN excited by the presents

REVEALED under the tree. WE SEE KAREN kiss HENRY, who

slips the thick packet of bills into the front of her dress.

HENRY:

Go buy yourself a coat.

KAREN shivers with excitement.

CAMERA DOLLIES into tree.

HENRY:

Lufthansa should have been our

ultimate score. The heist of a

lifetime. Six million in cash.

More than enough to go around.

INT. STACK'S APARTMENT

STACKS is in bed.

We hear a loud knocking at the door.

TOMMY (O.S.)

Hey! Stacks! Come on! Open the

door! Wake up!

CUT TO:

TOMMY AND ANGELO SEPE

standing in the hallway.

TOMMY:

Come on! Come on! We got some

coffee.

CUT TO:

STACKS opening the door.

ANGELO:

You got coffee?

STACKS:

Fucks! You said you had coffee.

TOMMY:

(to Angelo)

Put on a pot.

STACKS:

(putting on his

trousers)

Ball-busting sons of b*tches.

CUT TO:

STACKS:

Bending over to put on his shoes. We hear water in the

sink.

CUT TO:

TOMMY pulling out a .38 caliber gun with a silencer from

his belt.

HENRY (V.O.)

Stacks was always crazy. Instead

of getting rid of the truck like

he was supposed to, he got stoned,

went to his girlfriend's and by

the time he woke up, the cops had

found the truck. It was all over

the television. They even said

they came up with prints off the

wheel. It was just a matter of

tine before they got to Stacks.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

CUT TO:

TOMMY:

firing three silent shots into the back of STACKS' head.

INT. ROBERT'S LOUNGE - DAY

HENRY walks into the bar and WE SEE JIMMY, TOMMY, SEPE and

MARTY. They are ALL celebrating.

JIMMY:

(to the bartender)

Give'm a drink.

HENRY:

(agitated, to Jimmy)

I gotta talk to you.

JIMMY:

(as happy as he's

ever been)

Have a drink first.

WE SEE HENRY swallow the drink in one gulp.

HENRY:

I still gotta talk to you.

WE SEE JIMMY grab HENRY around the neck and head toward

the rear men's room.

JIMMY:

(laughing)

Oh yeah? Anything you say.
