Lucky Number Slevin Page #5

Something exotic.

I'm running it down.

- Well let me know.

Will do

Prick.

Have a good day.

- You too Detecctive.

Jimmy I'm taking my lunch break.

Don't you see?

Nick isn't missing he's hiding. He set you up.

Nick set me up?

- Like a bowling pin.

Nickfound himself in a jam.

He got you to take his place.

He paid a street thug to mug you

but all he wants is your wallet and licence

so he ignores the watch and suitcase

Then Nick kills SIim Hopkins and Benny

the only guys who know what he looks like

and now you're left holding the bag!

But I called Nick I initiated contacct.

- Well maybe it just seems that way.

What about Smith?

- I still can't figure him out in all this.

Hm.

You should run.

- I can't.

They'll kill you if you stay.

- They'll kill me if I leave.

Go to the police!

- These guys buy cops like cops buy doughnuts.

This isn't the first time this has happened.

This isn't the first time a crime lord asked you

to kill the gay son of a rival

to pay off a friend's debt whose place you're

staying in because you lost your job

and found your girlfriend with another guy?

It is the first time it happened. But Nick has been

painting me into a corner since we were kids.

I guess I've always been a better friend to him...

Yeah I'd love to hear the rest of this

Oh hey. Hey.

- Hey.

I was just thinking that if you're still alive

when I get backfrom worktonight maybe...

I don't know

Yeah that would be great yeah.

Really?

- Yeah.

Yeah.

OK. Um... No. Bye.

Weird.

What?

I was just thinking about what it would be like

if we'd met under different circumstances.

See I thinkpeople should only fall in love

if there's a great story behind how they met.

You know seeing as you have to tell it

over and over again.

If you and I fell in love

we'd have one hell of a story to tell.

We'd be at a dinner party and someone

would ask "How'd you two meet? "

And I'd say "You tell the story dear."

And you'd say "No you tell it better."

So come here often?

No. But I heard about someone who does.

You mean...The Fairy?

- Yeah.

Is he...?

- Yeah.

Where?

This is absurd. What are you thinking?

I'm thinking of a new option.

- What?

Talking with him.

- Talking with him?

Talking.

You're gonna go over and say "I'm Slevin

some bad dudes think I am someone I am not.

And I'm gonna have to take you out

or they're gonna take me out

and I was wondering

you wanna talk about it? "

I can't do that.

- You think?

Look.. I can't just walk.. over there.

He's got bodyguards.

Aside from that you're pretty much dead-on.

Bodyguards?

- Yeah. Right behind him. Two of them. Israelis.

Beards. Right behind him.

See 'em?

You're getting good at this.

- Thanks.

How are you gonna have a talkwith him?

When he goes to the bathroom

I'll follow him in.

What do you think?

Could someone tell me why I'm in the van?

Because I could only get a reservation for two

All right The Fairy's at a table in the middle

Bodyguards nearby

Our boy's not far away

but I can't make out who's with him

Did Murph get a beat on him yet?

- Murph says whoever he is he's a ghost

Can't find anyone who's ever even

bumped into him much Iess tripped over him

The Fairy's going to the bathroom

And our boy's making a move Sh*t

Marty the door's locked.

- Relax

It's not gonna go down in the men's room.

I got it next.

What went down in the men's room?

- We talked.

And?

I told him I thought we should get together.

You didn't?

- I did.

And?

I got a date.

- Do you thinkthis is safe?

It can't be any worse than what's waiting for me

behind door number two.

It's gonna be tough. I think I picked up a pigtail.

A what?

- The cops.

Oh a pig tail. Cute.

I ran into a nosy cop in the men's room.

You and me need to talk.

Do I know you?

- No but I know you.

Listen I'm sorry no offence but I'm not...

I'm not gay.

I'm a cop.

- Well I'm not a robber if you catch my drift?

I've been watching you.

I know what you're into.

Who are you? I mean I know who you're not.

You're not Nick Fisher.

The guy whose apartment you're in.

I know because Nick..

spent eight years in Dade Correcctional

for forcing himself on a 14-year-old cheerleader.

Dade County sent me a piccture of Nick Fisher.

And you...are not him.

So...who the f*** are you?

I'm just a guy whose dinner's getting cold.

May I leave now?

Come here.

- What?

Dead bodies in refrigerators. Cops in men's

rooms. You remind me of James Bond.

That is the nicest thing

anybody's ever said to me.

And The Boss he could be Kananga.

Kananga?

No The Boss is no Kananga.

- Well who's The Boss?

Ernst Stavro Blofeld.

Which one? Donald Pleasance?

Telly Savalas? Max. von Sydow?

You know your Bond.

But alas I was referring to Anthony Dawson.

Who?

Well he played Blofeld

in From Russia With Love.

Well you never see Blofeld's face

in From Russia With Love.

And that's when the villain is most effecctive

So...

See you later.

Ah that was incredible!

I just realised something.

- What's that?

I just made love to you.

- You're just realising that now?

And I have no idea who specifically you were

referring to when you said James Bond.

Because earlier when you were telling me

that I reminded you of James Bond

and I was saying that it was the nicest thing

anybody's ever said to me

I naturally assumed...

You naturally assumed

you knew who I was talking about.

Because if you don't - if you weren't talking

about the guy I thinkthat you're talking about

well you have me mistaken for somebody else

because in my mind there is only one Bond.

Well on that we agree.

Same time on three.

One...

- Two...

Three. George Lazenby.

- Roger Moore.

George Lazenby?

- Roger Moore? I was kidding.

Yeah I was kidding.

- You were?

The only James Bond is...

Timothy Dalton.

- Pierce Brosnan.

Scotland forever.

- I feel so much better.

Why are you going?

I'm just going to get us some coffee.

OK:

Hurry backto me.

Hey! Police.

Aw come on man.

I already talked to your buddy.

Good morning. I'm Detecctive Dumbrowski.

Good morning Detecctive.

Am I being kidnapped?

Nope. We just want to have

a quick friendly word with you.

Is this standard operating procedure

you'd find in the policeman's manual

if you look up "quick friendly word"?

There is no SOP for the box

you got yourself into.

Oh.

So what do you want to talk to me about?

- You.

What about me?

- Who are you?

Philosophically speaking?

- Name.

Rank serial number...

You think I'm tall enough?

What is your name?

- Oh yeah I remember. Slevin Kelevra.

K-E-L-E-V-R-A.

Kelevra.

- Look kid

I don't know what's going on

or how you're into this

but when I figure out what there is to figure out

I'm not gonna be so nice to you.

Oh this is nice. Don't do me any favours.

Last chance to come clean

Take a walk.

I thinkthis is the part

where you tell me not to walktoo far.

I have to go to work.

Hey.

Hey guys what are you doing here?
