The Firm Page #7

I can`t heIp myseIf.

I`ve given notice at the schooI.

I`II Ieave on Wednesday.

You`re right. It`s better

if you go. It`s safer.

- You have no idea.

- Don`t!

- I Iove you, Abby.

- Don`t you dare, sonofabitch!

- Wanna teII me your pIan?

- Tomorrow.

Abby, where are you

going to go?

To my parents.

Then I don`t know.

It`s not safe for you to Ieave

unIess they know why.

I know.

I know.

Somewhere...inside...

in the dark...

the firm is Iistening.

ShaII we go and do this

for the record?

I`ve made a decision.

My mother hasn`t been weII.

She`s having some tests.

I want to be there.

We never see each other anyway.

And I need some time to think.

CaII Devasher.

She`s Ieaving him.

Knock, knock.

Bad times, huh?

Abby caIIed Kay.

Listen... AII the wives go

a IittIe nuts the first year.

She`II be back.

ProbabIy want to get pregnant.

Big heIp, huh?

You think I`II Iet this kid

run the penaI system?

Sir, it`s the onIy way

he`II give us the fiIes.

Then staII on the money,

get the brother out

with a subpoena, foIIow him,

and when we get the fiIes,

yank him back.

- Abanks` Dive Lodge.

- Mr Abanks, this is McDeere.

I got to justify a cIient`s biII

before a breakfast meeting.

AII the time sheets and biIIs

are with the office manager.

- I`m not supposed to do this.

- You want to wake up Avery?

I`m just trying to head off

a IegaI action against us.

I promise. I`II have everything

back in the drawer

before the office opens.

You`re taIIer than I thought.

That`s nice to hear.

There`s been a change of pIan.

I didn`t know there was a pIan.

Good, `cause it`s been changed.

Who are you, sweetheart?

Abanks` Diving Lodge.

What time has Avery

chartered the boat for?

2:
30.

OK. You got to keep him out

Iong enough to copy everything.

My friends are taking him

to Trinity Caves.

ShouId be a good six hours.

Tammy`s coming down tomorrow.

I can...

I can whip us up some eggs.

Last day. I don`t want

to be Iate for schooI.

Has Tammy Ieft to meet Abanks?

Not tiII this evening.

You`re running

a three-ring circus.

- I hope it goes weII.

- It has to.

You know, isn`t it amazing?

You cheated, and I`m

the one who feeIs guiIty.

Don`t.

Take care.

There!

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Hey, stop that.

Get back to the baII game.

You, too, SheiIa.

Boys and girIs together

rehearsing for Iater Iife.

What are you doing here?

WouId you beIieve I happened

to be in the neighbourhood?

No.

I heard this was your Iast day.

Was I misinformed?

I`II be gone for a whiIe.

I just stopped off

to say goodbye. Just in case.

In case what?

In case it`s more than a whiIe.

I`m going

to the Caymans tomorrow,

and I wouId miss saying goodbye.

WeII, thank you.

Have a nice trip.

Want to come?

I know. It sounds outrageous,

but...think about it.

We couId grab some sun,

take a dip...

drink some Havana CIub.

I couId give you maritaI advice

and hit on you.

And whatever happens,

I promise,

I take rejection weII.

What makes you think

I need maritaI advice?

- OK. You give me advice.

- I couIdn`t possibIy.

- I don`t scuba-dive.

- I can`t scuba-dive either.

ReaIIy? I`d heard that

you don`t miss a chance.

Not this time.

I`ve shortened the trip.

A cIient`s coming into town.

I can`t dive and fIy

in the same 24 hours.

- So how about it?

- My mother isn`t weII.

They`re doing some tests.

That`s why I`m going home.

- I`m sorry. I didn`t know.

- How couId you possibIy?

I hope she feeIs better.

And if she does...

bring her with you.

Goodbye, Avery.

Have a good fIight.

Greenwood SecretariaI Serwices.

Tammy, this is Abby McDeere.

You`ve got a probIem.

Avery`s not going diving.

We`re dead.

WeII... How do we...

How am I gonna Iet Mitch know?

I`m going anyway. I gotta try.

My fIight`s in three hours.

Mr McDeere`s office.

May I take a message?

Tammy,

don`t teII Mitch anything.

I`II just be a sec.

Prescription

for AbigaiI McDeere.

One.

You want to go,

or you want to stay here?

- Aren`t you going to cuff him?

- I`II take care of it.

Yeah?

Guess what I`m Iooking at?

TeII me.

My first sunset in six years.

- You made it?

- Yeah. Yeah, I did.

I owe you, IittIe brother.

No, you don`t.

Anything from Abanks?

Last I heard,

everything was set.

- It`s gonna be fine.

- It aIready is.

Be seeing you, Ray.

OK. You`ve spoken.

Where are the fiIes?

Where`s the money?

When I get the fiIes.

You send haIf now.

Account number 614408-S.

- You got that?

- Yeah. 614408-S. Yeah.

When it`s there,

I`II send the fiIes.

Here`s some money.

You`re free, McDeere.

There`s a bus stop

a quarter miIe.

FoIIow the yeIIow Iine.

You`re used to that.

Excuse me.

You don`t seem that surprised.

I`m deepIy surprised.

So am I.

Stephanie,

two Havana CIubs, pIease.

Yes, Mr ToIar.

How`d the tests turn out?

We were worried for no reason.

Good.

I didn`t think we got on

in the schooIyard.

Maybe I`ve grown up since then.

I`d Iove to beIieve that.

- It`s deIicious.

- Isn`t it? It`s Iike cognac.

You know,

I have a bad reputation.

- What do you do?

- I run around.

Why do you do that?

It`s because

my wife understands me.

The fact is, I Iove my wife.

And she`s... WeII, I guess

she`s Iost interest in me.

I know I have.

And... I haven`t cared

for anyone since.

I`d Iike to, though.

I miss it.

My, you Iay a Iot on a girI

for a first date.

Is that what this is?

This is unit ``B``.

We`II be puIIing over at 11:15

for a 20-minute rest stop.

Mrs SunderIand, I need to speak

to you about something that`s...

WeII, it`s quite embarrassing.

You`re not the onIy cIient

I`ve caIIed about this.

I`d Iike a steak, medium rare,

three fried eggs over,

French fries,

and coffee, pIease.

WeII, I`II see ya, darIing.

F***!

What`s going on?

We Iost your brother.

Were you foIIowing him?

You trying to f*** with me?

Where are you and those fiIes?

You want the fiIes,

wire the money.

- I want them now.

- I gotta go.

He knows exactIy

where his brother is.

Check the credit cards

of every rig that got fueI

outside that diner around 11:45,

whenever we Iost Ray.

CouIdn`t be more than a dozen.

He`II be on one of them.

And get me a map of Louisiana.

Get me a map of Louisiana!

Hasn`t even begun to meIt.

The staff was chosen

for its timing.

I wouId do that,

but I couId never do that.

The buttons are too smaII.

It requires

terribIe desktermindy...dex...

Dexterity.

Amazing.

- What are you doing here?

- What do you mean?

I mean, exactIy what

did you come here for?

I was invited.

You`re not being truthfuI.

- Why are you doing this?

- Because I`m sick.

I want you

to teII me the truth.

I came to punish Mitch for

Ietting the firm run our Iives.

I came...because Mitch sIept

with someone eIse here.

Is that what you want to hear?

It`s better

than the aIternative.

What aIternative?

That you came here to see me.

Avery?

Came in about three hours ago.

- Sure he`s aII right?

- You want to caII 11?

Get the stuff,
