The Crew Page #3

Synopsis: Four former made men, struggling to get by in a rundown Miami hotel, come up with a plot to drive out all of the young tenants that are slowly taking over the beach-front hotel and driving up their rent. Taking a man that was found dead on the beach, they arrange what appears to a mob hit and provide a note that says more killings are to occur. Unfortunately the old man they use turns out to be the senile father of a drug lord. The drug lord declares war on the killers of his father, thinking it was an action of his enemies. A stripper learns of the old men's involvement and threatens to squeal on them unless they kill her stepmother. Meanwhile, one man searches for his long-lost daughter, who is the investigating police officer, trying to divest herself from her crumb fellow officer and former boyfriend.

But a messu little myrder downstairs,

and...goodbye.

You guys arent stauing here, are you?

You know, there arent a lot of options

for guys our age.

The landlord said hed cut our rent in half...

...and give us each $1,000 if we signed

long-term leases, so you know....

Well, you take good care of yourselves.

If theres anything I can do....

I have a feeling I aint had in a long time.

Yeah, in about 15 years.

What about you?

Uep. Something had been awakened

in all of us.

Im notjust talking about, you know....

It was more than that.

Afteruears of rotting away in demeaning,

go-nowherejobs...

...and spending our entire free time

living in the past...

...we were wiseguys again.

And I got to tell you...

...it felt great.

how about a B-10?

B-1?

We have a G-46.

Lets get lucku.

here comes a good one.

This is N-46.

Bingo!

Bobby, how about another round

of Slurpees, on me?

Broads in the Caddu with the top down.

Justlike it was when we were 30.

Except now

there were a lot more pitstops.

Good thing the winds not blowing.

You and your goddamn Slurpees.

Yeah. It really feltlike old times.

Swank is what we used to call it.

Everything shouldve staued swank,

but the problem was we were wiseguys...

...and wiseguys

always mess everything up.

hey, Bobby.

Youre late. Where is everybody?

how do I know?

lm not my brothers innkeeper.

So, whats good here?

What is that?

This?

Yeah, that. Is that a Rolex?

You bet your sweet ass it is.

I won it off Andu The lcepick,

in Jerseu, plauing cards.

he used to keep it 0 minutes fast,

so hed never be late for....

You know,

he retired in 78 with verticulitus.

hes got a hagen-Dazs distribytorship

up in Cocoa Beach, three grandchildren.

What are you, editor of the yearbook?

Youd know, too,

if you sent Christmas cards.

-What are you doing with that?

-I got it out the hock with the rent savings.

Dont you understand,

now is the time to lau low a little bit?

Only a complete dumb-ass

would draw attention to himself...

...at a time like this with a thing like that.

-Look at that car.

-Twelve speakers!

Ive got 1 speakers!

Sinatras singing in my ear!

hi, Charlie, hows it hanging?

hi, fellas.

-hows it going?

-Ferris.

What?

What?

What?

Thanks.

Slippery little devil.

Not enough room in there.

Ferris, I thought that was you.

Always a pleasure.

Someone dropped $0.

Thats mine. Thanks.

-I got to talk to you guys.

-In a minute.

I just want to say,

you and Mouth, beautiful.

-Thanks.

-Now!

-Okay.

-In private.

What is your problem?

What is my problem? You got rocks

in your head with that Jaguar.

Dont worry about it.

Its made by Ford now.

The three of you have gone completely

stupid. Rolexes, cars, young girls.

Were having fun. Lighten up.

-Lighten up?

-Yeah.

The cops will be sneaking around,

asking questions.

We dont want to draw attention

to ourselves.

-Screw em.

-Yeah, screw em.

Get rid of everything.

Who elected you my mother?

Im just saying until this thing blows over.

Okay?

Come on. Stash the wheels.

Put away the watch.

Get rid of the hooker.

We were wiseguys again, all right.

Fast women, fast cars, fast watches...

...and a scuffle in a mens room

over a broad.

Dont do that. Leave him alone.

Lets get out of here.

Maybe I did misspeak.

Lets go eat.

But Ferris was a pro.

Mouth was hot

because he convinced himself they had...

...more than just a bysiness relationship.

I dont know, baby.

You think you got what it takes?

Which they clearly did not.

All right. Thanks, honeu. Ill be right out.

Im just going to freshen up a little.

But, hey, his money, his fantasy.

No problem.

A little tip:

Ifyoure over 60

and every in a situation like this...

Is everything all right, sweetie?

...get the blood flowing

as soon as possible.

Okay, honey. Im all ready for you.

Are you all ready for me?

Oh, God.

Youre full of energy.

Those ab machines

are not a bad investment, by the way.

Its amazing.

What?

Just being with you

makes me feel young again.

heres where the problem started.

You see, aftersex....

This is something we never knew,

why would we?

Tonu The Mouth Donato, a guy Quieter

than an introverted Trappist monk...

...liked to talk...

This beautiful ltalian girl, Gina,

lived above us....

My favourite is the mockingbird.

...and talk.

Although theres nothing wrong

with the finch.

About anything.

Pigeons, I got no use for.

-Im still in the bysiness.

-Really?

And, unfortunatelu, everything.

Does that excite you?

You have to ask?

-Let me tell you about it.

-Okay.

There was a guy, recentlu,

we had to take care of. Clip him.

Clip him.

Blabbing to a pro. That dumb scavootz.

This was bad news.

Louis Ventana, father of reputed South

American drug kingpin, Raul Ventana--

As bad news goes, this was

start-your-car-and-it-goes-boom bad.

Sh*t.

Sh*t.

That Popeue. What a moke.

The paper says the old man was senile

with Alzheimers.

Said hed been missing a couple of days

from an old-age home...

...where they only have prime rib

on Sundays, when the family visits.

I figure he was put there under an assumed

name, so no one knows nothing.

The old guy thinks its prison.

So he decides to make a break for it.

he wanders around the street with no ID,

talking to himself.

Probably has one last fling.

Then he ends up down on the beach.

Thinks hes back in the old country.

Bingl Funeral home.

Anyway, thats what I think.

Look, this Ventana, hes a bad guy, but...

...if we all keep our mouths shut,

then nobody knows nothing.

Right, Mouth?

What I said last night, about laying low...

...no offence concerning Ferris.

All the best.

hi.

Get out of here. There aint no vacancies.

Except for a guy

whose head got blown off in the lobby.

how do you know his head was blown off?

I dont know.

he Probably heard me say it.

Figure of speech.

Yeah, its a figure of speech.

You gentlemen live here?

Why are you here?

Why do you look like Bruce Willis?

Once this became about Ventana,

it became about drugs. Its mine.

You gentlemen hear or see anything

the night of the myrder?

Were four old men.

We live on a couple of dollars

from the government.

You give us a can of soup for dinner

and were asleep by 8:00.

If you think of anything...

...please call me.

Pretty nice watch for a guy

living off the government.

-Its a fake.

-Doesnt look like a fake.

What are you talking about?

-What are you doing?

-he got this for $10 on the street.

-No.

-I ask you:

Could you do this....

Could you do this...

...to a real Rolex?

So well be sure to call you

if we remember anything, Detective....

Olivia?

-Thats right. Thank you for your time.

-Thank you, gentlemen.

how old are you?

hello.

I ran down the information you gave me.

Olivia.

I couldnt believe it.

It was too big a coincidence, a cop.

Forget about it.

I guess a coincidence is a coincidence

until it aint a coincidence no more.

Uo, Bobby!
