CUT TO:

MEN'S ROOM

HENRY:

What's going on? What happened to

Stacks? Is everything okay?

JIMMY:

(smiling)

Don't worry about it.

HENRY:

There are cops all over the place.

JIMMY:

(smiling)

So what? Where are they gonna go?

CUT TO:

A SMILING TOMMY:

entering the men's room.

JIMMY:

(to Tommy and barely

able to suppress

his glee)

He's worried.

TOMMY:

(suddenly hugging

Henry with happiness

and affection))

Come on. Don't worry so f***ing

much. Things are beautiful.

(to Jimmy)

Didn't you tell him?

JIMMY:

(wreathed in smiles)

Not yet.

HENRY gently breaks away from TOMMY'S hug. Stares at JIMMY.

JIMMY:

Tommy's gonna be made.

HENRY is momentarily impressed.

HENRY:

(incredulous)

Paulie's gonna make him?

JIMMY:

(proudly grabbing

Tommy's beaming

face in his hands

and kissing him)

Who else? Paulie got the okay.

This little guinea f***. Someday

he's gonna be a boss. Can you

believe someday we'll work for

him.

HENRY hugs TOMMY and they leave the men's room.

CUT TO:

NARROW HALLWAY OUTSIDE MEN'S ROOM ON HAY BACK TO BAR

CUT TO:

MARTY:

standing in narrow hallway blocking HENRY, JIMMY and TOMMY.

MARTY:

(smiling)

Jimmy, can I talk to you now?

WE SEE JIMMY and TOMMY angrily push right past MARTY.

MARTY:

(annoyed and pleading

with Henry as Jimmy

and Tommy hurry

past)

Hey! Come on, already. If it wasn't

for me, none of you would have had

anything.

WE SEE HENRY grab MARTY and shove him in the men's room

and close the door.

HENRY:

(angry)

Will you shut your f***ing mouth.

You're gonna get your money, just

stop busting balls. Okay? Relax.

You hear? Everything's gonna be

fine.

WE SEE HENRY slam the bathroom door on MARTY and hurry

back to the bar.

EXT. ROBERT'S LOUNGE - NIGHT

WE SEE JIMMY and TOMMY leaving the bar after a long night.

WE SEE MARTY outside waiting for them.

JIMMY:

(bursts out laughing)

Son of a b*tch. You're a pisser.

WE SEE MARTY begin to laugh, too. WE SEE JIMMY hug MARTY

around the shoulder affectionately as they walk away from

the bar.

JIMMY:

You wanna talk? Okay, come on,

let's get it over with. I swear

I've never known a ball buster

like you in all my life.

MARTY:

(all smiles)

Ah, but Jimmy, nobody loves you.

like I do. You know that. You name

it. I'll do anything for you.

JIMMY:

(still laughing)

Except to stop busting my balls.

We hear tires squeal and two shots ring out.

CUT TO:

INT. HENRY'S HOUSE - NIGHT

We hear a doorbell, waking HENRY and KAREN from sleep.

WOMAN (O.S.)

Open up. Henry! Karen! It's me.

Fran!

WE SEE HENRY and RARER open the door and HE SEE FRAN KRUGMAN

standing there in her housecoat, and distraught.

FRAN:

(hysterical)

Marty didn't come home. He's

missing. I know something happened

to him.

HENRY:

Wait a minute. Calm down.

KAREN:

Fran. It'll be okay. Don't worry.

FRAN:

I know something happened.

HENRY:

What could happen? He got drunk.

He passed out somewhere. I'll go

looking for him in the morning.

FRAN:

In twenty years he's never been

away all night without calling. I

know something's wrong.

HENRY:

Awright, awright. Let me take you

home and I'll go look for him

myself. Right now.

EXT. PARKING LOT OUTSIDE SHERWOOD DINER - DAWN

HENRY and JIMMY are leaving together.

HENRY:

What'll I tell Fran?
