The Man with One Red Shoe Page #5

Synopsis: Cooper, the deputy director of the CIA, wants to be the director. So, he tries to make it appear that the director is corrupt so that he will resign or be removed. The director appears before a committee and asks for some time to prepare his defense. The director goes home and asks his man Brown to join him. He then shows Brown that Cooper is bugging him. That's when he decides to turn the tables on Cooper by feeding him some false information. And that information is that there's a man, who might be able to clear him of the charges against him, will be arriving at the airport, so he tells Brown to meet him. The Director tells Brown to just pick someone who is arriving at the airport thus making Cooper believe that he is the man who can help the director. Brown picks Richard cause he is wearing mismatched shoes, one of them being red. So Cooper sets up surveillance on Richard and sends his femme fatale, Maddy to come on to him and find out what he knows. While Maddy is playing, Richard

He turned her around.

I'll take care of the fiddle player.

You... better get rid of Maddy.

She's too dangerous now.

Oh, come on!

Richard!

Come here.

Stop.

Turn around.

Edgar, that damn fiddle player's

right behind us.

Uh-oh.

Excuse me, folks.

- Out of the way.

- Hey, watch it, buddy!

This could be my lucky day.

Scratch one fiddle player.

Yes.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

I think we've lost your young man.

I say good riddance to bad baggage.

- There he is!

- What's he doing?

- I believe the boy intends to ram us!

- Waste him!

We're gonna hit!

Maddy?! Maddy!

- Are you OK?

- Let's get out of here.

Look, let me just ask one thing. Never mind.

Oh, no.

No. No...

No!

Is there something that I should know about?

Richard, tell me. Are you an agent?

- No! But I used to have an agent.

- No! No...

Do you work for the government?

Are you a spy?

No, of course not.

I'm no more a spy than you're spy.

Richard...

I am a spy.

You're a spy?!

Whoa, whoa! Wait a minute, honey.

Maddy, all I want is the fiddle player, OK?

Hey...

Excuse me, sir, would you mind turning

that down for a second, please? Thank you.

He's dead anyway. I have no bone

to pick with you. Really, honey.

- Maddy, dear, don't be foolish!

- What do you think?

What do you say, honey?

What do you say? Huh?

Jump!

OK!

OK. OK.

OK!

Maddy. Maddy!

- Oh, sh*t!

- That's the man you're after.

Burton L Cooper.

No! I'm a civil servant!

Morons! Don't you understand? I'm with you!

He's doing so much better.

They're giving him less tranquillizers.

- Well, that's good news. That is.

- Yeah.

Um... Richard,

I wanted to talk to you about something.

OK.

- Morris needs me now, and...

- Mm-hm.

I... I just wanna do the right thing.

I... I gotta go.

You're gonna be all right, aren't you?

Yes.

Bye.

Bye-bye.

And the Man With One Red Shoe -

what's going to happen to him?

- He'll be just fine.

- And the girl?

The deal was her testimony for her freedom.

- I think it was a fair exchange.

- Well, I don't think so.

Well... since you're no longer

director of CIA, and I am,

it doesn't matter what you think.

Francis Veber

Francis Paul Veber (born 28 July 1937) is a French film director, screenwriter and producer, and playwright. He has written and directed both French and American films. Eight French-language films with which he has been involved, as either writer or director or both, have been remade as English-language Hollywood films: Le grand blond avec une chaussure noire (as The Man with One Red Shoe), L'emmerdeur (as Buddy Buddy), La Cage aux Folles (as The Birdcage), Le Jouet (as The Toy), Les Compères (as Fathers' Day), La chèvre (as Pure Luck), Les Fugitifs (as Three Fugitives), and Le dîner de cons (as Dinner for Schmucks). He also wrote the screenplay for My Father the Hero, the 1994 American remake of the French-language film Mon père, ce héros. Some of his screenplays started as theater plays (for instance, Le dîner de cons). This theatrical experience contributes to his films' tight structure, resulting in what has been called "marvels of economy".Many of his French comedies feature recurring types of characters, named François Pignon (a bungler) and François Perrin (a bully). more…
