Rough Diamonds Page #19

Kristen calmly reaches into her purse, pulls out a handful of

marbles. Throws them onto the ground, letting them roll towards

Jay...

.

But they stop, change direction, all coming rolling back in a

small circle, until they come to rest in the middle of the

concrete floor...

KRISTEN:

The building's built on a sink hole, Jay.

You know it, and I know it. Gonna need to

think fast if you wanna keep the Cubans

off your back...

Jay's tiny mind can't take it all in.

JAY:

How'd you...how'd you know all this...

KRISTEN:

It's what we do.

JAY:

We?

Elena walks seductively into the unfinished office. It's on.

INT. LOCKER ROOM - DAY

Marie sits in the bleachers by the side of the school dive pool,

looking at her Mother's soon-to-be-diamond ring through teary

eyes...

MARIE:

I just want what's mine...

Elena stalks the bleachers behind her.

ELENA:

The diamonds are your inheritance. You

deserve them...

MARIE:

My f***ing Step-Monster'll never give me

the Goddamn key...

"Wild Things 3" 03/22/2004 98.

Elena jumps down the bleachers, sits down next to Marie.

ELENA:

So you take it, one way or another...

INT. CHAD'S OFFICE - DAY

Behind closed doors, Chad's completing yet another dubious

transaction, handing over a bag of roofies. The buyer this

time...Marie...

MARIE:

You take a check?

CHAD:

Money talks, bullshit walks. I got

strippers to feed...

Marie fishes out the money from her purse.

MARIE:

How'd you like to make some real cash?

CHAD:

Chad likes the sound of that.

And it's that simple...

INT. TEAM CLIFFORD BUILDING - NIGHT

Chad uses Jay's teeth mouldings to bite Elena, as Marie trains

Jay's video camera on her, wailing on her in a drunken stupor.

ELENA:

Hey, that hurt!

MARIE:

Shut it, b*tch. No pain, no gain...

Elena's face is pressed against the concrete wall...

INT. BLUE BAY FORENSICS LAB - NIGHT

Chad sits at his video console, all alone, expertly manipulating

the audio and video footage.

CHAD:

We'll put you right here, and...

Chad presses play. On the video screen a frightened Elena is

huddled against the wall.

"Wild Things 3" 03/22/2004 99.

JAY (V.O.)

C'mon now baby, you can do it...

INT. ELENA'S TRAILER - NIGHT

Elena watches as Marie and Theo drive away, then turns to the

glistening Mother Daughter diamonds. She opens a case with two

identical GLASS REPLICAS, and replaces the diamonds...

All the while, Uncle Marty SNORES his head off...

ELENA:

(to Uncle Marty, irritated)

Will you knock that off? They're gone.

Uncle Marty's eyes snap open.

EXT. BEACH PARADISE - DAY

Kristen and Marie are sunning themselves on the crystalline beach

when someone stands before them, casting a shadow over their

sizzling bodies.

KRISTEN:

You're blocking our sun...

Looks over her sunglasses at...Uncle Marty...Only all cleaned up,

in a pair of Bermuda shorts that show off his milky white legs...

He clutches a briefcase...

UNCLE MARTY:

Ladies. Hellova job back there. Your best

ever if I might be so bold...

KRISTEN:

This is our biggest score. You sure you

can move it?

UNCLE MARTY:

Not a problem.

Kristen nods to the briefcase in Uncle Marty's hand.

KRISTEN:

Let's see the green...

Uncle Marty lays the case down on the lounger, opens it, revealing

stacks of cash...

UNCLE MARTY:

Got another lead, if you're interested.

Was just up in Boston, surveying a

mansion that's just been sold.

"Wild Things 3" 03/22/2004 100.

UNCLE MARTY(CONT'D)

Termites already eaten most of it.

Owner's shitting bricks. There's gotta be

an angle for the Black Widows...

Kristen and Elena look to each other.

KRISTEN:

It's over. We had a good run.

Uncle Marty shrugs.

UNCLE MARTY:

Shame. Guess all good things come to an

end. So, the diamonds...

Elena reaches down, pulls the diamonds from the sand. Hands them

over and is about to take the case of money when...

UNCLE MARTY:

How do I know these are the real thing?

Elena looks to Kristen. They smile.

ELENA:

You're going to have to trust us...

Like f***.

THE END. AGAIN.
