WAYNE:

So, in your opinion Mickey and

Mallory are not insane?

DR. REINGHOLD

Insane, no. Psychotic, yes. A

menace to living creatures, yes.

But to suggest that they're insane

gives the impression that they

don't know right from wrong.

Mickey and Mallory know the

difference between right and

wrong. They just don't give a

damn.

FREEZE FRAME ON Dr. Reinghold.

INT. EDITING BAY -DAY

Wayne's just finished viewing the show.

hands on Scott and Roger's shoulders.

He puts his

WAYNE:

Good work, my brothers. Fan

f***ing-tastic! I think that

interview stuff's too long, we

can lose some of that. Keep the

girls, keep the long hairs, keep

the Hun brothers, keep the black

guy, keep the movie sh*t, and keep

the cop at the donut shop. Lose

the rest. And cut the interview

with the prison board fellow

before that. Cut it after I ask,

'I take it by your answer it was

a whole new team.' Don't even let

him answer. F*** him. Then cut

to me talking about the two

chicken sh*t psychiatrists and

straight into Dr. Reinghold

laughing.

SCOTT:

Okay.

Wayne puts his arm around Unruly Julie.

WAYNE:

Children, we have a show.

(to Scott & Roger)

You two get some long well

overdue sleep. 'Cause tomorrow,

bright and early, county jail and

then journey's end... Mickey Knox.

CUT TO:

TITLE CARD:
"TOMORROW --BRIGHT AND EARLY."

INT. MICKEY'S CELL -DAY

Mickey's pacing back and forth in his cell, trying out

different jokes.

MICKEY:

There's this Italian guy, a French

guy, and a Polish guy. And

they're all talkin' about how they

f*** their wives -

JUMP CUT TO:

79.

MICKEY -LATER

MICKEY:

... You know, I'm gonna just rip

off your dress and squeeze your

titties. Then Little Red Riding

Hood whips out her .357, sticks

it in the Big Bad Wolf's face, and

says, 'No you're not. You're

gonna eat me... just like the

story says.'

JUMP CUT TO:

MICKEY -LATER

MICKEY:

(with a lisp)

... Fairy boat! I knew things

were good in here, but I didn't

know we had our own navy.

JUMP CUT TO:

MICKEY -LATER

MICKEY:

... So this guy wants to take

little Johnny's sister to the

drive-in. But the mother says,

'Only if you take little Johnny

along--'

JUMP CUT TO:

MICKEY -LATER

MICKEY:

... And the Polish guy says,

'That's nothing. When I get

through with my Hanna, I get up,

wipe my dick on the curtain,

and she hits the roof!'

JUMP CUT TO:

MICKEY -LATER

pretending he's calming down a hysterical audience.

MICKEY:

No... please... thank you...

you're too kind... no... please...

INT. NEWS VAN -MOVING -DAY

THROUGH Scott's CAMERA, we're filming this in black and

white 16mm.

(NOTE:
Everytime we're viewing through Scott's camera,

we are filming handheld in 16mm black and white. Until

otherwise specified, the shots stay in Scott's camera.)

Scott's filming the back of the newsvan. Roger's sitting

in the back eating donuts as is Wayne. Unruly Julie's

up front driving.

WAYNE:

(with mouthful of

donut)

How's it working, Scotty?

SCOTT (O.S.)

Pefecto!

Roger's picking through a box of donuts. Scott PANS

OVER TO him, then SLOWLY ZOOMS IN ON him.

ROGER:

Where the f***'s the chocolate

cream-filled? Did anyone get my

chocolate cream-filled? If you

did, it's mine.

CLOSEUP -ROGER

looking INTO CAMERA.

ROGER:

I pointed at a chocolate cream-

filled. You saw me do it,

didn't you?

Wayne starts talking. We PAN FROM Roger TO a CLOSEUP

of Wayne.

WAYNE:

You were there. Did you see him

put it in a box?

We PAN BACK TO CLOSEUP of Roger.

ROGER:

At the time, I was too busy

explaining to Scott the finer

points of film.

We ZOOM BACK TO a WIDE SHOT.

(CONTINUED)

81.

CONTINUED:

SCOTT (O.S.)

Yeah, right. You know what he

said? He said, Indiana Jones And

The Temple Of Doom is Spielberg's

best film.

Wayne starts laughing. We hear SCOTT LAUGH, too.

WAYNE:

(to Roger)

You can't be serious?

ROGER:

(preoccupied)

I'm as serious about that as I am

about going back to that donut

store, and dipping that stupid

Mexican's head into the batter for

forgetting my chocolate cream-

filled. Gimmie that other box.

WAYNE:

Huh-uh. This dozen is for

Mickey.

ROGER:

That dumb-ass probably put my

chocolate cream-filled in there

by mistake.

WAYNE:

Roger, no.

ROGER:

What's the big deal? Take out my

chocolate cream-filled, put one of

these roasted coconut -

WAYNE:

Roger, do you understand what the

word 'no' means? It's important

we establish a rapport. Something

as simple as a dozen donuts can

mean the world to somebody who

hasn't had a donut in a year.

ROGER:

So you're giving a man who

butchers whole families, little

babies included, my chocolate

cream-filled?

Unruly Julie HONKS the HORN. Wayne gets up and looks out

the windshield.

(CONTINUED)

82.

CONTINUED:

WAYNE:

Okay, guys, we're here. L.A.

County Jail. Julie, just park

in the front.

ROGER:

Wayne -

WAYNE:

Roger, I'm starting to get pissed.

Just drop this f***in' donut sh*t,

and gather your gear.

The van stops. Wayne slides open the panel door, and

steps out.

EXT. LOS ANGELES COUNTY JAIL -DAY (BACK TO COLOR 35MM)

Wayne hops out of the van and is approached by

Superintendent Phil Wurlitzer who's followed by two

deputy sheriffs.

WAYNE:

(aside to Scott)

Here's the welcome wagon.

Wurlitzer reaches them and shakes Wayne's hand.

WURLITZER:

Hello, Mr. Gayle. I'm Phil

Wurlitzer. We talked on the

phone. It's a pleasure to meet

you.

WAYNE:

Same here. Let me introduce my

crew. Scott... Roger... and

Unruly Julie... this is... I'm

sorry. What's your title again?

WURLITZER:

I'm the superintendent here at

L.A. County Jail. Me and my

deputies are who you'll be working

with while you're here.

WAYNE:

That sounds great. Look, I don't

want any of this to intimidate

you. This is not going to be a

big deal. This is going to be

very easy.

(MORE)

(CONTINUED)

83.

CONTINUED:

WAYNE (CONT'D)

(to his crew)

I need to talk with Mr. Wurlitzer.

You guys get the equipment ready,

power up the van and confirm a

transmission code for the remote.

Julie, come with me.

Julie tosses the keys to Roger and shadows Wayne as he

speaks confidentially to Wurlitzer.

WAYNE:

The main thing I need is a big

room, shut off from the population,

so we can get some privacy... with

a few electrical outlets.
