Sparks Page #3

Stop.

Room Service.

You're 10 minutes early.

Am I?

Thank you.

The twins are driving me crazy.

M'sieur...

Twins?

They are...

adorable.

You've met them before.

They've...

grown a lot since your last visit.

You're wearing perfume.

No.

It's cologne.

You can try telling your wife that,

but I doubt she'd believe you.

And speaking of which.

Where is you're wedding ring?

Archer!

Run!

Ian! Now, now, now!

Run, Ian, run!

We gotta get Driver!

Ian, can you hear me?

Ian!

He's not responding!

He'll live.

Hang in there, Ian.

Put this on.

Take care of yourself, Ian.

Son of a b*tch, you made it.

Alright, here's your cut.

Buy yourself some clothes that fit.

Why don't you buy a new face?

Over 23 people are confirmed

dead including two children

and at least one person

is still missing,

in what investigators are calling

the deadliest explosion

in the city's history.

The cause of the blast is being conducted

and police are hoping to have answers.

Evening.

What the hell happened?

You are set for life

that's what the hell happened.

Stealing his money?

That was the plan?

Part of it.

He never would have gone for it

otherwise, but the best part,

is we got that bastard who killed

your parents, and my partner.

Yeah. Yeah, we got him and everyone

else in a half mile radius!

Plans change, you of all

people should know that.

There were children!

There always are!

Look. Take the money or not, I don't

care, but my obligation to you ends now.

We're even.

Even for what?

The past?

Yeah.

It was the middle of nowhere.

It was the devil's own luck

your family was there.

How much is in there?

Assuming that's the bank truck

that got pinched last week

I would say there's

enough to buy your wife

and your children, and your future wife

and your future children, each a big house.

I certainly don't want to disappoint

my future wife now do I?

What you gonna do with your

share of the money, boss?

Put my money in a better bank.

That's all of it. Why don't

we go get some whores?

Rick!

Rick I think we got a survivor!

No!

No witnesses!

Stop playing hero and come help me.

I swear to God they're

gonna be here any minute!

The whole town must have seen that train

blast from at least 5 miles away!

They say people only get

good luck or bad luck.

But I got us both.

And that's what really

happened that day, Ian.

You're a dead man!

We're the same, you and I, Ian.

You just haven't figured it out yet.

I'll see you in hell!

25 people died in that explosion.

Nobody bumps off that many

people and breezes off unscathed.

Karma and Revenge.

Both will be paid in full.

Between finding out that a dirty cop

was responsible for my parents' deaths

and what happened at that hotel

I had no fight left in me.

It drove me out of the hero business

and into a three piece

suit with a new identity

I was in the advertising business

where no one cared about saving anybody.

I was writing copy or attempting to.

I lasted a full 2 whole weeks.

Steve?

Mr. Blasini would like to see you.

Come in, Steve.

Look!

I'm a straight shooter.

You can't write for crap

so I'm going to fire you.

But...

There is one story that I'd like you to tell.

And I'm going to give you

a day's pay to get it.

What story is that?

I want you to tell me...

What she's really like,

Sparks.

The lady was a great partner.

Don't be a chump.

I know her, remember?

We do her ads.

Now I know that you two were more than just...

battling buddies...

So I'd like you to tell me what she's like...

horizontally.

Damn shame! She's engaged!

To Sledge.

I'd pay good money to lay down with her.

Good money.

She was his lady now.

She moved on.

Me, I never got over the attack.

I held on tight to it.

I ran over the scenario

every which way.

No matter how many times

I saved her in my dreams,

I always woke up on the losing end.

I'm not proud of what I did next.

But any memory of her

was better than none.

It took me a couple of months

to track down the pro skirt

that was gonna help me

get back on my feet.

That's a new look, Dawn.

Even for you.

I'm sorry, you got the wrong room.

I don't think so, sweetheart.

I've been watching you for an hour.

You got more traffic coming in and

out of here than a bus terminal.

What do you want, Sparks?

But you didn't take the money.

Children were killed, Ian.

And I don't take blood money.

Interesting set of morals you got there.

So...

All that jawing about Driver killing

your brother, that was all bull?

He called me! Now what do you want,

Ian, I have company coming.

I'll start with a drink, but I'm

gonna have to pass on supper.

You just wasted 20 seconds.

Is there any reason why this

wom painting wouldn't do?

Thirty.

That's personal.

What level of intimacy does one have to

reach in order to get personal with you?

Well I wouldn't know, you've only

been intimate with me since the Lady.

Touch.

Which brings me to the reason

why I'm here.

Look...

I'm all torn up.

We never properly said goodbye.

But that, Sparks, was almost a year ago.

And if you think I'm going to

service you for old times sake.

No, not me, someone else.

Someone very, very rich.

Rich enough to get you out of

this dump and into a museum

that you can fill with

the exact same painting.

So I gotta ask,

Why so many copies of the same painting?

My mother had these

4 copies up in her house.

She put them up the night my

brother and father left us.

So this is Ringmaster Jesus.

Yeah, that's him.

The kid next to him is my brother.

What was he like?

I wouldn't know, they both

took off the night I was born.

Supposedly to do God's work.

Apparently God's work included murder.

How much you make in a night, Dawn?

20 bucks.

How's 200 sound?

From super to pimp, Interesting

set of morals you got there.

Do we have a deal?

What a woman!

A body like hers she could raise the dead.

Well congratulations,

Mr. Associate Creative Manager.

I think you mean Creative Director.

Yeah, next time.

If we can meet some place where the only

thing sucking on my toes is the lady.

How about a toast?

Here's to...

a new future.

But a new past.

Not exactly.

You're 150 short.

But...

since we are old friends...

For 3 months, our arrangement

was hitting on all 8's.

'Til Lady Luck finally ran out.

I love it.

Heroine pose? Alright...

let's see some strength.

There we are...

Now let's bring the can of D'Vita

slowly toward your mouth,

like you're gonna give a big, wet kiss.

Lady, perhaps a little less teeth,

We don't want to frighten the cocoa.

Orsen!

Reload!

Excellent work, Orsen,

that is why I overpay you.

My Lady.

Personally I think...

Props!

Dawn!

What a surprise!

Come in.

Have a drink with me.

What's wrong?

Did he get rough with you?

Because if he got rough with you then I...

What the hell was that for?

That's for hiring that whore.

Who's spreading her legs

pretending to be me!

Heavenly?

Yeah.

Heavenly...
