MATTHEW:
It's sounds so much better when you say
it. I'm semi traditional here, and it's
important that I ask. Will you go out
with me ?
SAUNDRA:
Yes.
MATTHEW:
Really ? On a date ?
SAUNDRA:
Yes.
MATTHEW:
This is too easy, I mean I had a speech
prepared, then I even wore these pants
because I could get on my knees to
grovel.
SAUNDRA:
As appealing as that sounds...
MATTHEW:
Dinner at my place then ? Say, seven
o'clock ?
SAUNDRA:
Sure.
Saundra leaves.
From the next cube leans over JEFF,24 and a little
unshaven and wearing a loud suit and tie. Jeff is
equally free of any real responsibility.
JEFF:
I can't believe she said yes !
MATTHEW:
I know. Normally I'd have to spend
weeks laying down the leg work to land
a beautiful baby like that.
JEFF:
You are so lucky that Zach didn't get
there first.
MATTHEW:
You mean Mr. Bad Ties ? I wasn't
worried about him. He's one of those
guys who has a wardrobe but no
personality. Saundra doesn't want that.
She wants someone who can MAKE her
laugh. Not someone she can laugh AT.
They both crack up at this and ZACH walks away.
INT. MAIN STREET, MURDERLAND - DAY
Bruce & Johnny are repairing the Merry Go Round of
horses that fire bullets. There are tools and parts
lying about.
Bruce is wearing only a tank top and is using a wrench
on the large piece of the motor.
Johnny looks very bored and is twirling a 9 millimeter
pistol like a cowboy.
BRUCE:
Hand me the 3/8ths.
JOHNNY:
Here. Am I ever going to get to run the
controls for one these capers ?
BRUCE:
When I think you're ready.
JOHNNY:
When will that be ?
BRUCE:
When you are ready.
JOHNNY:
Look, you're going to have to start
trusting me sometime. I am a
trustworthy person.
BRUCE:
Trust is earned not given away.
JOHNNY:
RESPECT is earned not given away, trust
is given away to anybody.
BRUCE:
Not down here. I'll start trusting you
when I feel there the time is right.
It's not personal, it's just survival.
JOHNNY:
I've been working with you for four
years, don't you think that's worthy of
at least one turn at the controls ?
BRUCE:
No.
Johnny gets up and walks around him.
JOHNNY:
I made my bones on the street, you
know. I did Riglioni in his own house.
I was made in the Family, okay.
BRUCE:
And who bailed you out when a hit was
put on you, you sorry sack of sh*t. Who
put you up ? Who gave you a job ?
JOHNNY:
You did.
BRUCE:
That's right. Now who needs to trust
who ? Trust me, when you're ready to
work the controls, I'll put you in the
hot seat.
Johnny stands for a long moment.
JOHNNY:
I just think that maybe I am.....
Bruce just sighs out loud and then turns a switch and
the Merry Go Round horses begin to fire right towards
JOHHNY. They hit right at his feet. He dances a little
jig around the bullets
JOHNNY (CONT'D)
Jesus Christ ! Stop Stop Stop !
They stop, and Bruce is laughing hysterically.
JOHNNY:
You a**hole ! They could have missed !
INT. NIGHTINGALE'S BAR - DAY
This is a small bar in an alley in Manhattan. It looks
as though no one has entered it in decades. It's run
down and dusty. The lights are off.
Zach enters through the front door. He sits at the bar.
JOHNNY comes in from the back.
JOHNNY:
Hey, Mr. Executive. Buy you a drink
sailor ?
ZACH:
We have new "guests" for the park. I
have a file on them. May I see Bruce ?
JOHNNY:
He's been expecting you.
He points the way to the broom closet. They go in and
the back of the closet opens up into an elevator.
Both of them enter.
INT. ELEVATOR, MURDERLAND - DAY
This elevator is like the service elevators at the back
