Spanish Judges Page #4

Synopsis: The stranger Jack arrives in the studio of the crook collector of antiques Max and tells his ambitious companion and specialist in poisons Jamie that he is Jack's brother. Jamie does not buy his story, dominates Jack and ties him up to a chair. When Max arrives, Jack proposes US$ 100,000.00 for each one to protect him in a negotiation of the antiques "Spanish Judges" with a wealthy and dangerous collector. Max invites his stupid acquaintance Piece, who comes with his retarded girlfriend that believes she is from Mars, to compose the backup team. However, Jack double-crosses the collector and then he intrigues Jack, Jamie and Piece.

is not gonna make us

$100,000 each, baby.

1-0-0-0-0-0.

What?

I've got a bad

feeling about this guy.

- Something's gonna go wrong.

- It's gonna be too easy.

- Come on, Piece, let's go!

- Where?

I want to go

to Piece's apartment.

He's gonna pick outfor

me a nice gun for tonight.

You go home.

Hey, go home.

Get the mannequins ready,

we'll be there in...

- Whatfor?

-...a few minutes.

- Get... get out.

- Jamie:
Come on, come on!

- Piece:
Whatfor?

- Get out ofthe--

Jamie:
Just get going!

Why?

Because you say so?

Huh?

Because you say so?

( Jamie blows a kiss )

Fine. Fine.

I've got a hole in my wrist.

You're lucky it's

not around your neck.

Help me out here.

What are you doing?

One of Jamie's stupid ideas.

You dress the mannequins up,

put them in the car,

park it in front ofthe warehouse,

and when these people see it--

they think you've

got an army of backups.

- It's a genius idea.

- I know.

Maybe I'm talking

to the wrong person.

I just naturally figured

that you were in charge but--

Oh, I'm sorry.

I am on your team.

I just--

I don't know why everyone

else doesn'tfeel that way.

Are you talking about Jamie?

Well, the whole thing.

Yeah.

Well, she used to.

You know what bothers me

about you people, Max?

I haven't seen a single

gun since I've been here.

Unless you're talking about these.

Hey, hey, hey!

First of all, don't

go snooping around

and touching my things.

Secondly, they're not guns.

They're antiques.

French flintlocks.

It's my newest addition.

Oh!

That is nice.

Old dueling pistols.

They come in a boxed set.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Max:
I don't have all

the literature on them yet.

I've only had them

for a month or so.

- Max:
But eventually--

- Where are they from?

See the tag?

It says LaRoche.

That's French, LaRoche.

What does it mean, LaRoche?

Max:
It doesn't mean anything,

it's a town in France.

Quite grim, aren't they?

Yeah.

Jack:
Guns make me nervous.

- I never carry one.

- I see you there.

Ifyou need a gun,

you're doing something wrong.

That's why Piece has so many.

He does everything wrong.

Collecting is

about patience, Jack.

Unless you've got a lot of money,

you can put all your

collection together at once.

You see this burgonet here?

Fifteenth century.

It's part of a

complete set of armor

made by

the Massiglia family of Milano.

I only have

the helmet right now, but,

I know a guy

who has the pauldrons.

I want to get it all together,

you know, bit by bit.

That's okay.

I have what I have.

What I have makes me happy.

That's beautiful.

It really is.

So is a new Caddy.

So is new furniture.

So why do you have

a cabinetfull of antiques?

Why does your guy

want the Spanish Judges?

For the beauty?

For an investment?

No.

Antiques are not

about money.

Not even about the beauty.

They're about ownership.

They're about position.

They're about... success.

They're about saying,

"I have the power

to reach back into the past,

and grab anything

I want and make it mine."

An antique can say that.

A new Caddy can never say that.

I understand completely.

You think a lot about that,

about being a successful man.

About being treated the way

you deserve to be treated.

We all get there.

You'll see.

- Detroit.

- Detroit.

Detroit.

Or maybe Chicago after that.

Here's to Texas,

a year after that.

We have chosen a very

tough business.

It's hard enough

to go out alone,

and you've got

all these dependents.

That's my problem.

If I was

an independent operator again,

I'd get it like that.

Like that.

- Jamie.

- Jamie.

What does she know

about being successful?

Have you seen--

Do you know what she has

in the closet back there?

- You're talking about the poisons

- Unbelievable!

Unbelievable.

With a job like ours,

a hobby like that.

And don't think it makes for

comfortable living arrangements.

Every time we get in

a fight, I have to

stay up all night

and listen...

Iisten for

the closet door to open.

That ain't right.

It's selfish, that's what it is.

The b*tch.

What?

Nothing.

Yeah, you said something.

What did you say?

- Nothing.

- Jamie:
Hello, gentlemen.

My life is such a mess.

Hello, gentlemen.

Is he getting funny

with the mannequins again?

Are you?

I'm gonna be up on the roof.

At 11:
15, come get me.

All right.

You know,

this better be on level, right?

I mean like,

it better be like

everything you say.

Don't worry about it, Piece.

- Girl, girl.

- Uh-oh.

- How you've been?

- ( screaming )

Why don't you get some sleep. We're

gonna go in a couple of hours.

I want to go over the plan again.

We'll have plenty

of time when you get back.

- Come on.

- What--

Great. Let's go.

Bye!

It looks good on you.

The gun.

You know how to use it?

I've used it

a couple of times.

But Max just won't

allow it in the house.

Why?

Because, when we fight,

we fight.

Oh, yeah?

Did he hit you?

No, you did it.

You did that.

It doesn't hurt, though.

- It doesn't hurt?

- No.

Is this a challenge?

Where are you going?

( shower running )

( knocking )

Hey.

You seem to be

in a much better mood

than when I first met you.

You brought some excitement

into my life, Jack.

Glad to hear it.

Why did Max

go up on the roof?

He goes there

to think, you know?

Max likes to have everything

thought out in advance.

That's why tonight

makes him so nervous.

Yeah?

What makes you nervous?

Max.

He's a very bad boy, Jack.

Very bad boy.

Very jealous boy.

You wouldn't want him

jumping to conclusions.

Max is on the roof.

What Max doesn't

know won't hurt him.

- All right.

- What else makes you nervous?

Not much.

I like surprises.

That's why Max and I

are so unhealthy together.

Because he's

a control freak.

And, I'm just not

that kind of girl.

I can see that.

Why do you stay?

You can find better.

I'm looking for something else.

I can see that.

But you just don't walk away

from a man like Max.

He's very determined.

Of course, I'm at your service.

Do you really know

what your getting into?

Oh, yeah!

No, not really, I don't.

I know what you want.

Oh, no, not again.

- Okay.

- You're gonna learn to love it.

( door slams )

Hey.

Jack wanted to wash up.

How about napping with me,

for a few minutes?

It's time to go.

All right, go on upstairs.

Waitfor us, we'll be back soon.

No, you cannot come with us.

Cannot!

She'll be quiet.

She will.

She'll be quiet.

You drive really

f***ing slow for a bad guy.

( blows horn )

You're sure you want want

to get out of the van by yourself?

No, but that's what

I told them I'd do.

I don't want to do

something and scare them.

Watch me in the rear-view

mirror. If you see something--

I signal Piece

and start shooting.

Hey, Piece?

Try to miss me,

all right?

Don't worry Jack,

I never miss.

Well, that's great.

That's really great.

Shhh!

A gun.

Can I borrow a gun for this?

I told you,

I don't carry guns.

That's great.

That's great protection
