Horrible Bosses Page #11

Well, of course. It's the one

thing that keeps me from being

happy.

DALE:

Me too.

There's another beat.

KURT:

Let's just consider this, for one

second.

DALE:

Consider what?

KURT:

Killing our bosses. I'm just

being hypothetical here.

DALE:

(laughing it off)

Yeah, right.

NICK:

Very funny.

KURT:

Well, it's not like they're gonna

live forever. These pieces of

sh*t are going to die someday.

KURT (CONT'D)

We'd just be accelerating that

natural process.

NICK:

Shut up, Kurt.

DALE:

Yeah, shut up, Kurt.

KURT:

(EARNEST)

Frankly, I don't see any reason

not to do it.

DALE:

Well, first of all, killing

someone is illegal and immoral --

KURT:

It may be illegal but I'm not sure

it's immoral. Sometimes one evil

person has to die for the greater

good of the community. If Bobby

Pellit has his way, hundreds,

maybe thousands of innocent

Bolivians will suffer. It would

actually be immoral not to kill

him.

Nick begins to warm to the idea.

NICK:

I didn't get to say goodbye to Gam

Gam because of Harken.

KURT:

Exactly! Who knows how many other

Gam Gams have died alone.

DALE:

I can't believe you guys are

actually talking about this. I

don't care how bad our bosses are.

We're not murderers.

NICK:

No, we're not, Dale. We're just

trying to live our lives. But

what are we supposed to do when

someone makes it impossible for us

to live our lives? Do we just

bend over and take it up the ass

forever?

(CONTINUED)

37 CONTINUED:
(3) 37

KURT:

No, we do not!

DALE:

What you guys are talking about is

wrong and you know it.

NICK:

Julia's ruining your life. That's

wrong.

KURT:

Yeah!

DALE:

She's not ruining my life. If

anything's ruining my life it's

you guys and your drunk bullshit.

KURT:

If it's bullshit, Dale, then how

come we all want to do it so much?

They reach the corner where they part ways.

DALE:

I don't want to do it. And when

you sober up neither will you.

We're not killing anyone.

Dale heads off.

KURT:

(TO NICK)

I was just being hypothetical.

NICK:

(QUICKLY)

Yeah, me too.

OFF their ambivalent looks --

38 INT. DENTAL OFFICE - NEXT DAY 38

Dale is organizing some equipment when a pair of woman's

hands suddenly cover his eyes.

WOMAN (O.S.)

(SUGGESTIVELY)

Guess who?

(CONTINUED)

38 CONTINUED:

DALE:

(WEARILY)

I'm really not in the mood for

this now --

He turns and reacts as he sees it's not Julia, but his

fiancée, Stacy.

DALE:

Stacy?!

STACY:

Not in the mood for what?

DALE:

For... nothing. What are you

doing here?

Julia appears in her office doorway.

JULIA:

I invited her.

STACY:

She called and said now that we're

engaged, she wanted to offer me

free dental work. And you know

I've had that loose filling for a

while. It's so sweet of you,

Julia.

JULIA:

It's my pleasure. You're part of

the family now.

DALE:

(VISIBLY UPTIGHT)

Uhhhh... I don't know if this is a

good idea.

STACY:

Why not?

DALE:

We don't want to take advantage of

Julia.

JULIA:

Dale, there's nothing you could do

that would be taking advantage of

me. Nothing.

(then, to Stacy)

Now what do you say we pump you
