The Boondock Saints Page #2

She points to a tattoo on her neck that reads untouched by

man.

ROZ:

I prefer to be called Rozengurtle by

men.

CONNOR:

(taken aback)

Okay then... let's get ya started.

Connor exits with Roz.

MURPHY:

Christ, that's the largest woman

I've ever seen.

MCGERKIN:

It's self-imposed affirmative action.

If we hire big, fat, angry lesbians,

then the leftist groups representing

big, fat angry lesbians, won't think

we're violating their rights.

MURPHY:

Well, how politically correct you

are. That's good stuff.

MCGERKIN:

Hey, those people can shut ya down.

They'll sue you into the ground

claiming they were put under mental

duress, inner pain. and sufferin'.

MURPHY:

Well, as long as we're hirin' fat

lesbians, give your ma a call.

Murphy laughs as he jogs away.

MCGERKIN:

F*** you Murphy.

INT. NOLAND'S MEAT PACKING PLANT CUT STATION SAME DAY

Rozengurtle and Connor stand in front of a bunch of co-workers

who are cutting meat as it goes by on assembly.

CONNOR:

Okay, just cut off as much fat as

you can as it goes by and the rule

of thumb here is...

ROZ:

Rule of thumb?

CONNOR:

(questioningly)

Yeah?

ROZ:

Do you know where that term comes

from? In the early 1900's it was

legal for men to beat their wives as

long as they used a stick no wider

than their thumb.

Connor holds up his thumb and stares at it.

CONNOR:

Can't do much damage with that.

Perhaps, it shoulda been the rule of

wrist. Ha!

(he elbows her)

Rule of wrist.

She returns an icy stare. He hands her the knife. The co-

workers all seem wary of Roz.

Murphy stands on one side of Roz, Connor on the other,

surrounded by a tight group of workers. Everyone is within

ear shot of one another, cutting meat as it goes by. Knowing

glances are shared by everyone. It is an uncomfortable mood.

CONNOR:

Hey Murphy?

MURPHY:

Aye.

CONNOR:

(slight smirk)

How many feminists does it take to

screw in a light bulb?

MURPHY:

How many?

CONNOR:

Two. One ta screw it in and one ta

suck my cock.

Everyone burst out laughing. Rozengurtle jabs a knife in a

piece of meat and turns to Connor. She pushes him and starts

walking toward him. He starts backing up, laughing.

ROZ:

(angry)

I knew you two pricks would give me

problems. Give me sh*t cause I'm a

woman. I'm not gonna take your male

dominance bullshit!

CONNOR:

(trying to calm her,

but still chuckling)

Oh, come on now Rozengurtle. I was

just tryin' ta get a rise outta ya.

MURPHY:

Yeah. Just tryin' ta break the ice

is all.

ROZ:

(to Murphy)

F*** you...

(to Connor)

...and f*** you!

MURPHY:

Oh, come on its St. Patty's Day.

It's all in good fun.

Employees gather around all the excitement.

ROZ (V.O.)

Baumgartner sound Irish to you, f***

face?

CONNOR:

Now look Rozengurtle, we're sorry.

Just relax.

She reaches back and punches Connor full force in the face.

He takes the hit very well. He stops backing up.

CONNOR:

Why don't you save all your aggression

for protests and marches and what

not.

She suddenly drives her boot into his crotch, sending him to

the floor reeling with pain. Two female co-workers leap to

his aid.

ROZ:

You f***in' slaves. Kowtowing to the

needs of men! Get up! Get the f***

up! Leave him there.

Rozengurtle begins to turn, raising her fist to Murphy.

Murphy winds up and punches her square in the face. She lands

on her back. The on-lookers are stunned as he walks over and

stands above her.

MURPHY:

Guess you'll have ta change that

tattoo now, won't ya Rozie!?

INT. HALLWAY MACMANUS' TENEMENT APT BUILDING DAY

The brothers get to the top of the stairs. Connor is hunched

over and moving slowly. Murphy giggles.

CONNOR:

F*** you.
