Making 'The Score'

---

Wait.

What?

This.

Later.

I wanna smoke.

I wanna smoke.

Fine. Smoke.

Smoke all night.

Be still.

Do not turn around.

Do not turn around.

You will not be hurt.

- Bonjour, Nick.

- Bonjour, madame.

Albert.

Boss, hi.

- Jean-Claude.

- So, the trip was good?

- So, how are we doing?

- Great.

We have many reservations

for tonight.

Good. How many covers

did we have last night?

- Over 150.

- Good.

- Bar was steady.

- How was the music?

- Great band.

- Good. Good.

Scotch on the rocks, please,

little water.

Yeah, sure.

Monsieur Max.

Where-- Where Nicky?

Voila. Back from Bermuda.

Did you have a good trip?

Well, not as interesting

as yours, I'm sure.

My God!

Let me get a look at you.

You look like sh*t.

What's your secret?

Jean-Claude,

set up number two for us.

Yeah, sure.

Just give us a little room.

Thank you.

For sure.

There we are.

Bermuda.

Oh, God.

Well.

- It was pretty tight out there.

- Good. It'll keep you sharp.

I got a minor development.

- We lost the buyer.

- What do you mean, "lost"?

Well, she's in a brass casket

six feet underground...

never to be heard from again.

Well, I fronted 20,000

in expenses.

Now I'm due that,

plus 250 for my end.

You don't think I'm not

gonna take care of you?

I'm not gonna cover

your expenses and all that?

It's not about covering my expenses.

It's the money. Find another buyer.

Of course. But Jesus Christ,

sh*t happens.

This thing's gonna drag out.

You've got to be patient.

Wait a minute.

How about this?

Four big ones

in your hand.

Four million dollars

in your mitt.

- Four million?

- More than you ever dreamed of.

More than we ever,

ever did together.

Four million.

What are you into?

Well, I spotted this item

which was really exceptional.

It was European antiquity,

elegant...

and it was in the hands

of this real dumb prick...

that didn't know what he had.

And unfortunately...

it's become detained

in transit a little.

You don't wanna know where?

It depends.

Depends on what?

- On what you're gonna tell me.

- Okay.

It's in the Montreal

Customshouse.

- No way. I'm sorry.

- Oh, yeah. Wait a minute.

I got a guy--

I got a guy inside.

He gives you the whole layout,

handles security, everything--

You used to tell me, "Steal outside

the country, in the States, Europe.

But Montreal,

live in Montreal."

I said a lot of dumb things

in my day, didn't I?

- But that's--

- Right.

Let's just find another buyer

for this. I gotta open the place.

Okay, but I'm not finished

talking about this.

- Come on.

- You're making a large error here.

Not bad.

- Yeah?

- I just landed.

I got the delivery.

Got the bag?

- Yeah. Right here.

- Where's Johnny?

He got it in Istanbul,

right through the neck.

- Jesus. He was a good kid.

- Yeah.

Good and dead.

So you wanna talk,

or you wanna see what I got?

How can I be sure

you're okay?

I suppose I could f*** you.

That would work.

Hey. You okay?

Yeah. Great.

- How was your trip?

- I don't know.

Cities.

They're all starting to look

the same. They really are.

And the pasta in Rome

is not as good as yours.

And the ass pinchers.

They used to look

so charmingly European.

Not as good as me?

Come on.

It really must be

what it is about you I like...

because you most definitely

are not common.

- What if I were?

- What if you were what?

A little more common,

you know, and around more.

How much more?

Like, "all the time" more.

And I was just a jazz club owner

and not that other thing.

How would you feel

about that?

Hey, are you saying

what I think you're saying?

I think that's

what I'm saying.

Hey, baby, you know I've never

asked you to change anything for me.

I know that. I'm just asking you,

how would you feel about that?

I don't know.

I suppose I'd have to give it

some serious thought.

Then you'd better start

giving it some serious thought.

Thank you.

So I'll see you when I see you?

See you when I see you.

Excuse me.

Can you help me, please?

Can you help me?

- Place Norman?

- Yes, yes.

You go to the corner,

make a right. Go two blocks--

- Two.

- Two blocks, then a left one block.

- Again, please.

- Two blocks this way...

one block that way

to the left.

- And you're right there.

- Okay, thank you.

Thank you, Nick.

What did you say?

I said, "Thank you, Nick."

I'm Max's guy in the customshouse.

We should talk.

Okay, bye-bye. Thank you.

Thank you. Bye.

- Where's Max?

- He's in the sunroom.

Nicoli, Nicoli.

Have you lost

your f***ing mind?

My mind? Years ago. Why?

- What did you tell this kid?

- What did I tell who?

Your inside guy

with the retard act.

He was in front of my house.

He knew who I was.

Wait. He must've followed me to

the club and made you from there.

Tell him he pulls a stunt like that

again, he'll end up in the hospital.

Wait. Do you think I'm gonna set

you up with a jerk-off heister?

You gotta admit that this kid did

a pretty good dog and pony show.

I don't care who is he. Don't expose

me like that. You know better.

He's got it all pre-wired.

- You go in, turn the key--

- I told you, I'm not interested.

You're never gonna get another

chance at a score like this.

- Why are you pushing this?

- Four million balls.

How many times

do I have to tell you?

He's pushing it

because we're running out of time.

If I'm gonna work

with a partner on this...

we gotta start putting

our heads together right away.

- What are you doing in my house?

- Take it easy.

- All I'm saying--

- Who the f*** is this kid?

- What the f*** do you know?

- I've been on this for three weeks.

I gotta know if you're the guy

that Max says you are.

- I gotta go.

- Nick, wait. Wait.

I didn't come 500 miles just to--

Jack Teller. Nice to meet you too.

What the f***?

You're not smart enough

to know where your dick is.

We decided that you were gonna

sit tight until I called you.

- Is that correct?

- Okay.

I thought I could help you sell him

on it. I thought he was already in.

Don't be so f***ing creative.

Just get the f*** out of my house.

When you guys get your sh*t

together, give me a call, okay?

Unbelievable.

It's a lucky thing

you came my way

Today

I'm about to tell you

something you should know

All you have to do

is let the plot unfold

Desire is clear

When you are near

You're about to give in

Don't tease me so

I think you know

You're about to give in

And if you listen

we can both find peace

Release

Inhibitions that you

thought could not be there

Jesus!

God! Jesus! Take it easy.

Listen close. Leave town

tonight. Don't come back.

I see you again,

I break your f***ing knees.

I see you around Nick,

I'll kill ya.

It's a dangerous f***ing game

you're playing here.

Are we clear?

Yeah, we're clear.

How did it go?

Not as planned.

- What do you want?

- Some f***ing respect for starters.

I mean, what are you thinking?

Now, I'm on a job here.

Now, if you just don't wanna come

in on it, that's fine. Say "no."
