Rapid Fire Page #3

Hi, Frank.

Agh!

Sh*t.

- Hey, come on.

- Oh, my God!

- It's all right. I'm a police officer

- It's all right, Lisa

We just wanna talk.

It's all right. We'll be in the study.

What?

Jesus

Have another drink. You're gonna need it.

- Just read me my rights.

- I don't wanna arrest you, Frank.

The man wants to be arrested.

I say arrest him.

Jake! Why don't you take

those fists of fury of yours outside?

- You're making the poor man nervous.

- Good.

This poor man.

He's meeting me at 7

There's a streetlight there.

You can't miss him.

- We'll be there.

- I'm sure you will.

You f*** this up again,

I'll blow your house up!

Well... your wife's an attractive lady.

I can't see her waiting around

for, what, say, 20 years or so?

Now, on the other hand, that

shipment that Tau sent to Chicago,

trucks are on the way.

I wanna know where and when.

Serrano's the only one who knows that.

And I never dealt with him directly.

I always went through Gazzi.

Oh, he'll deal with you.

He wants Jake.

She pours it in. He tastes

it. Says "Delicious".

Except it's not anisette, it's kerosene.

He says "Can I have another?"

Yeah?

Hey, you go f*** yourself!

You got some explaining to do!

Who is that?

It's, uh... Stuart, the Fed.

He says he'll only talk to you.

I told him to go f*** himself.

Let me talk to him.

What happened last night, Frank?

It was a bust

No kidding

Some cop walked right into middle of it.

What are the odds against that? 1000 to 1?

Hey, Frank, if I want odds, I got bookies.

Tell me something I don't know.

I have him

Chicago cops can be very reasonable

- It costs me, but I have him.

- You don't worry about what it costs.

You bring him over. We...

Tell him you can't risk it tonight.

OK, Frank? OK?

This kid is a third-degree burn right now

because of your guys.

They f***ed up, not me

I'm not going anywhere tonight.

Who said anything about tonight?

Bring him over tomorrow.

That way it's nice and clean.

You understand what I'm saying?

I'm only gonna give him up

if you're there personally.

Where am I gonna go? Florida?

It's OK.

This is Serrano's restaurant.

He usually sits here.

Every afternoon, 2.30, he pours himself

a sweet vermouth and watches the soaps.

You really know this guy.

I know all about you, too.

I know about Beijing,

about Tiananmen Square.

I also know that you

were 30 days late paying

your last Visa bill and you

got a B- in biology

Yeah? So?

I got screwed on the midterm.

Look, I'm sorry about before.

- There was a lot happening...

- It's OK.

Forget it.

Now pay attention. Here's the plan

for tomorrow. This is the fire exit.

When the tear gas goes off,

you get out through this door

Sharpshooters across the

street will cover you.

Then duck out behind this back alley.

I could get killed in

there tomorrow, couldn't I?

You've got to trust Ryan.

He would not send a civilian in there

if he thought he couldn't control it.

Army intelligence told my dad

the same thing.

He came home in a box.

you know I never even knew

why we were over there.

They've been promising to show

me his military file for 2 years.

I haven't seen sh*t.

That's the way these guys are.

So don't talk to me about trusting Ryan.

Sounds like you hate him

because he reminds you of your father.

You don't know anything

about my father, OK?

My father never got anyone else killed.

Sit down.

Hey you're wired for sound, my man.

All right, now. The clear signal is

"Nice doing business with you."

- We hear that, we're in.

- Right.

After this, you get me squared

with the locals and I go home, right?

You got it, that's a deal. I get when

and where on the shipment from Tau

and you get a free ticket

back to bikinis and palm trees

Gwai-Lo

What did you say?

You want me to do the translation?

Yeah, just answer him for me

He says he thinks he's in love with you.

Get in line.

Move out, Jake.

Get him to the car.

Jake, move it.

Remember, Frank, the signal is

"Nice doing business with you."

This thing is way too tight.

Someone so much as sneezes...

I know you got the hots for him, but

can't you get control for 10 minutes?

- I'm talking business...

- So am l, damn it!

You're supposed to by

my intelligence officer!

Why don't you try showing me some?

Now get your ass across the street!

I want you to know, Jake, that I'm the only

one who did this to myself and to you.

I want you to know that I take

responsibility for my personal actions

This isn't EST, Frank.

Mr Serrano's waiting

Inside

Skirmish teams 1 through 4, give me

the high sign if you're ready. Over.

Look at this.

The FBI always gets its man.

Serrano's got religion.

Give me the word and

I'll send him to his maker

Negative, hold your fire.

Swithc him off

only on the Lieutenant's signal. Copy?

Copy that.

Have I ever let you down?

- I have something I have to talk

to you about. - Wait a second.

Pleasure before business.

You saw me clip that guy, right?

What was the f*** his name?

- Ching... Chung...

- Chang.

You know what I heard?

I heard he wasn't dead.

He was 18 hours in the hospital

before he died.

The cops kept asking who did it, except

there wasn't enough left of him to say.

He could scream, though. Aw... agh!

More or less.

- You saw me, right?

- I saw you.

Look at that, huh? Look at that posture.

Bad posture.

That's the root of every

health problem in America

You know what I'm gonna do?

I'm gonna break your hands,

finger by finger.

And then I'm gonna break your ribs,

rib by rib.

Then I'm gonna break your legs.

- Knock yourself out.

- Jesus, kid!

Knock yourself out?

Mr Serrano, excuse me. With all

respect, I gotta get downtown

We had an understanding.

I'll get back to him later.

Put it right here.

There. You just got sex appeal.

Come on, Frank!

I have another deal for you.

Could we talk... you know, privately?

What's on your mind?

- The Bureau knows about...

- Sh!

Come on. Let's talk.

The Bureau knows about

your heroin shipment.

- And what's your end?

- Say, 100K off the top.

Frank.

Frank, Frank, Frank.

Tomorrow night. Monarch Linen, Chinatown.

Yes!

What time?

Midnight

Just one thing.

You guarantee no cops, no Feds,

and I give you nothing.

No 100 grand. Zip.

You do it as a favour for me, for free.

OK, Mr Serrano.

- Tony.

- Yeah, Tony.

Thanks again for this, huh?

That's the thing about

doing business with you, Frank

Sh*t!

- What's the matter?

- We lost Stuart's mic.

Any time, Tony.

"Nice doing business with you"

- Hey, Frank.

- Yeah?

Why'd you say you'd do it for free, Frank?

"Nice doing business with you"

- "Nice doing business with you", Tony.

- Yeah. Nice doing business with you.

You know, the only time

a man doesn't want any money...

- is when he wants somethin' else.

- Hey!

You're sweatin' like a pig.

All he wants to do is

get outta here in one piece

No, Tony...

Son of a b*tch!

Move in! Move in!

Go! Go! Go! We're movin'!
