Jimmy Hollywood Page #7

I mean, there's a lot of crime, and

they're out there making a difference.

Plus, they're not hurting the good people.

Right. And what about this Jericho guy,

their leader? What do you think of him?

I think he's right.

I think it's brave what he's doing.

Do you?

Yeah, well, Ive always been really

into that kind of thing.

You know, kind of underground stuff,

sort of adventurous, you know?

Yeah.

-French resistance.

-Im not familiar with them.

I guess it's unimportant. Doesn't matter.

Do you want something to drink?

Yeah. You got any liquor here?

Ill take a look. I don't know what she has.

Yeah. Nothing with any pineapple.

-So what do you do, Jimmy?

-Im an actor.

Can you imagine what it's like to be

in some super police military thing?

You know, he's like a Batman or something.

That's right. That's right.

Its very dangerous.

Imagine putting your life on the line,

not knowing if you're going to live or die.

-This Jericho is some kind of guy.

-Oh, yeah. Yeah.

I mean, he must be a pretty

extraordinary person.

Special.

I wonder if he's like a Bruce Wayne.

You know, a wealthy guy that does that.

Because you'd have to have

some kind of money

to train that whole group

and arm them and everything.

What if I told you

that I know someone in the S.O.S.,

and that someone...

Hello.

Hi, honey.

I miss you, too.

Hold on a second.

Im going to be on a while.

That's okay.

I forgot that I have an appointment.

-Im going to run.

-Okay.

Hi, honey.

No, I feel better. I might be able to

walk down the street tonight.

I think the S.O.S. is doing a really good job.

Im a big fan of those Death Wish movies.

Im sick and tired of being a hostage...

If this is gonna get rid of

some of the crime, I say, "Why not?"

Its time the bad guys were victims.

I wish I could join S.O.S.

Im a young girl, Im single,

Im in this town by myself. I don't feel safe.

The only way you fight fire's with fire.

The police could never intimidate them

the way the S.O.S. can.

And I am just...

Im so happy to have Jericho here.

Jericho. They love Jericho.

...that there's hope for the city

now that they're here.

The S.O.S. is apparently striking

a favorable nerve in Hollywood.

In an unofficial telephone survey

conducted by this station, over 80%...

Its a hit. Its a rave review.

Its as good as a review if it was a show.

Look at this. Another drive-by shooting.

You know what's amazing,

it's on Page 3 of the metro section.

I mean, it's become so commonplace,

it's on Page 3 of the metro section.

Its ridiculous. It makes me sick.

What do you want to do today?

I don't know. What do you got in mind?

I want to go see a movie.

-I want to go see The Mummy

-The Mummy?

Will, don't start with The Mummy, okay?

Its a little early.

My father let me stay up

and watch Fright Night.

That's when I first saw it.

You know what I couldn't figure out

about the mummy?

Its how he always used to walk

with one arm behind him

and a leg dragging.

Will, Will, I know.

Let me ask you a question.

How come the only time

you mention your father

is with this Fright Night mummy thing?

Don't you have any other memories?

I remember he used to call me "useless."

He did, huh?

Well, let me tell you something.

I was a salesman

and I can size up

people's characters pretty good,

and you have a lot of potential.

A lot of potential.

Don't let anybody tell you different, ever.

You just haven't clicked

with the right thing yet,

but when you do, boom!

You're going to be on your way.

Big things are going to happen for you.

Trust me. A lot of potential.

-Potential.

-Right.

-Who's this?

-Steve.

All right, all right. This time.

Don't bring nobody else new, man.

Stick up your hands, please.

-Don't turn around. Don't turn around.

-You want the money?

-Take the money.

-No, no, no. We don't want your money.

-You don't want the money?

-Yes, we do. Yes, we do.

Its not cheap running

a terrorist organization, here.

Hey, he's got a gun! He's got a gun!

-Give it up!

-Get it! Get it!

I got it!

-Look this way. Look this way.

-What are we gonna tie him with?

What do you want to do with him?

We can't take him to the police station.

Its been done already.

Why don't we just keep him captive

like the Hezbollah?

Hezbollah?

Where could we put him?

Can't keep him at my place.

I guess I can keep him

at my place for one day.

I mean, it's safe.

Lorraine's out of town, anyway.

Come on, let's go.

What the f*** was that

you were listening to?

Listen to me clearly.

You have been sentenced to five years

in an S.O.S. holding cell.

-You will be chained to a bed.

-Chained to the bed?

I ain't with no freaky stuff man.

Y'all just kill me right now.

You saw the way

the American hostages were treated?

You will be treated in the same fashion,

-as an enemy of the people.

-Enemy of the people?

I got a few character flaws,

but I ain't no enemy of the people.

I just like nice things.

S.O.S. Save our souls.

That's my parking.

I miss you, Jimmy.

I miss you, too.

I hate myself for coming back,

but what am I going to do?

I don't want to be out of your Oscar speech.

You're not going to be

out of my Oscar speech.

Wait, wait, wait.

I have to go to the bathroom.

He's gone crazy.

Jimmy!

-What?

-Have you lost your mind?

Listen. Let's go in the other room.

I don't want him to hear anything.

Okay, okay.

What the hell is this guy doing

in my bathtub, bound and gagged?

-I didn't know you were coming home.

-That explains it.

There's a fantastic answer.

See, what we're doing is,

is kind of like a Hezbollah kind of thing.

-You say Hezbollah?

-Hezbollah, yeah.

You know, the Lebanese stuff.

-Yeah.

-The terrorist group.

-Yeah.

-Yeah. The ones that take the hostages.

See, I just didn't want

to drop him off at the police station.

A drug-dealing thing.

I mean, we've already done that.

So what we're doing is, we're setting up,

like, an intimidation factor,

you know?

Hey, listen, do you know how many tourists

visit Beirut a year? Do you?

-No, no.

-None.

Zip. Nada.

Do you know how many visit LA?

Millions. And there's more killings in LA

than there is in Beirut.

There's more crime

in Los Angeles than there is in Beirut,

-and you know why?

-No.

Hezbollah, Hezbollah.

They're scared shitless about

that Hezbollah kind of stuff. That's why.

What the hell

are you talking about, Jimmy?

What are you talking about?

There is a man in my bathtub.

Intimidating a criminal.

That's what Im talking about.

The police don't intimidate them.

So, big deal, they get arrested.

They do six months to a year.

They go into the cells.

They watch television.

They do exercises. Big deal.

The S.O.S.,

you know what we're going to do?

The S.O.S. intimidates the criminal element.

Tie him to a bed for five years.

Scare the sh*t out of them.

So, you want me to actually live

in this house here with the hostages?

Is that the next step, Jimmy?
