The Boondock Saints Page #29

SMECKER:

Now the guy knows a friend is coming

to the game. And they know that this

door can only be opened from the

inside. So they wait... and when

that door opens, man...

The knob turns and they kick it in.

INT. POOLHOUSE - DAY

They burst in and line up shoulder to shoulder, guns aimed.

Smecker stands beside Rocco with his thumb and forefinger

extended to mimic guns. Five mafiosos sit around a poker

table in front of time. Two men are playing pool to their

left. Rocco quickly scans the room.

ROCCO:

All of them.

They begin firing. Men are dying, their chests exploding.

Smecker moves his hands like firing guns and yells over the

noise.

SMECKER:

Nobody was ready for it. Devastation,

panic! This was like shooting fish

in a f***in' barrel!

Smecker points to the pool table as the two players dive

under it.

SMECKER:

Now these guys dove under the table.

The trajectory on the bullets show

they came from straight across. So

this means one of our shooters...

dropped to his knees...

Smecker drops to his knees in perfect synchronicity with

Rocco. They are side by side and leaning back.

Rocco fires and the men under the table skip around as they

are riddled with bullets. Smecker's mimicking hands follow

him perfectly with each shot. The boys and Rocco demask.

Rocco goes around to all the bodies and looks earnestly at

each one, as Connor and Murphy pick up bullet casings.

ROCCO:

Sh*t!... Sh*t! He ain't here.

MURPHY:

What the f*** do you mean?

ROCCO:

I mean he ain't here.

CONNOR:

Look again for f*** sake!

ROCCO:

I know what the f*** he looks like!

SMECKER:

Something went wrong. Right here.

INT. POOLHOUSE BATHROOM DAY

The man they came for gets off the toilet and pulls up his

pants. He is expressionless. He pulls a towel rack from the

wall.

INT. POOLHOUSE DAY

The door behind Rocco begins to open outward. As the door

swings open, Rocco tries to angle a gun around to shoot the

man who is opening it. But as soon as the man sees his hand,

bam! he comes down on it with the towel rack. Rocco pulls

back in pain dropping his other gun but the gun fires, as

the man's blow connects. The shot pierces his stomach and

sends him against the wall. He holds his abdomen in pain.

There is a moment of recognition between the man and Rocco.

Rocco is terrified as the man dives on him and they begin

fighting. Murphy jumps to help, but Connor pulls him back.

They both stand in front of the pool table about thirty feet

from Rocco.

CONNOR:

Let the boy go!

He is now being choked, as he glares at them in disbelief.

MURPHY:

C'mon Roc!

SMECKER:

Now, one of these guys is a real

sicko. He knew this man. He wanted

him to suffer, to feel every second

of a painful death.

As Rocco is wrestling and punching on the floor. He looks

up.

ROCCO:

Help me you a**holes!

(they continue to

cheer)

He's gonna f***in' kill me!

(he fights harder)

SMECKER:

This guy is one bad motherf***er.

ROCCO:

I don't wanna die!!!!!

Murphy is aching to help but Connor is more steady. A man

who has been shot starts to regain consciousness. Connor

turns his back to shoot him (slo-mo). Murphy sees his

opportunity, pulls the cue ball from the table, and rolls it

silently across the carpet toward Rocco.

Connor fires with his left hand and as the casing ejects

from the gun he catches it in mid air and makes the sign of

the cross. Rocco is on his back, the man is straddling him.

They both have each others throats and are trying to strangle

one another. When the ball is within arms reach, Rocco slams

his hand down on it and knocks his assailant in the skull.

He straddles him and begins to mercilessly beat his face in

with the cue ball, yelling "You sick f***!"

He finally stops, gets up, runs toward the boys, and throws

an exhausted punch at Connor who just lays Roc down on the

pool table and says, "Nicely done, boy". Murphy tends to

Roc. Connor checks out the man and seems surprised.

Murphy takes the bloody cue ball from Rocco's hand and

polishes it off on his jacket, making sure Connor cannot

see. He replaces it perfectly on the table. Smecker now stands

in front of the table with the cue shining in the background.

SMECKER:

I've never seen wounds like these

before, but whatever he used on this

guy, it was a blunt object and they

took it with them.

Smecker exits to the left as Greenly enters from the right,

following Smecker out. He walks by the table furiously

scribbling in his notebook. Connor, Murphy and Rocco exit

the room, pennies in the eyes of all the corpses in the

background. Rocco holds two duffle bags full of poker money.
