15 INT. INTERROGATION ROOM
15
Hockney's turn in the chair. He laughs it all off.
HOCKNEY:
- my lawyer. I'll have your badge,
cocksucker.
OVERLAPPED:
HOCKNEY (CONT'D)
I know you. You don't think I know
you're on the take. This whole f***ing
precinct is dirty. You don't have a
f***ing leg to stand on.
VERBAL (V.O.)
Hockney was just a bad bastard. Good with
explosives. Mean as a snake when it
mattered .
VOICE (O.S.)
You think so, tough guy? I can put you in
Queens the day of the hijacking.
HOCKNEY:
I live in Queens. What the f*** is this?
You come into my store and lock me up in
front of my customers. What the hell is
wrong with this country? Are you guys
gonna charge me or what?
VOICE (O.S.)
You know what happens if you do another
turn in the joint?
HOCKNEY:
I'll f*** your father in the shower.
Charge me, dick-head.
16 INT. INTERROGATION ROOM 16
Now Keaton sits in the chair, cool and indifferent.
VERBAL (V.O.)
Keaton was the real prize for them, for
obvious reasons.
VOICE (O.S.)
I'll charge you when I'm ready.

KEATON:
with what?
VOICE (O.S.)
You know damn well, dead-man.
KEATON:
Hey, that was your mistake, not mine. Did
you ever think to ask me? I've been

KEATON (cont'd)
walking around with the same face, same
name - I'm a businessman, fellas.
VOICE (O.S.)
What's that? The restaurant business? Not
anymore From now on you're in the
getting-f***ed-by-us business . I'm gonna
make you famous, cocksucker.
Keaton shows just a flicker of contempt. The threat has hit
home.
KEATON:
Like I said. It was all your mistake.
Charge me with it and I'll beat it. Let's
get back to the truck.
A FIST flies into the frame and connects with Keaton's jaw.
His head snaps back, blood flowing freely from his mouth.
17 DELETED 17
Keaton is brought in to a holding where he joins Fenster,
Hockney, Verbal and McManus. He sits in a corner and keeps to
himself.
Fenster is in mid-tirade.
FENSTER:
Somebody should do something. What is
this sh*t - getting hauled in every five
minutes? Okay, so I did a little time,
does that mean I get railed every time a
truck finds its way off the planet?
McManus is silently staring at Keaton, who sits on a bench,
looking away.
HOCKNEY:
These guys got no probable cause.

FENSTER:
You're f***in' A right, no P.C. Well
screw P.C. No right. No goddamn right.
You do some time, they never let you go.
Treat me like a criminal, I'll end up a
criminal.
HOCKNEY:
You are a criminal.
FENSTER:
Why you gotta go and do that? I'm trying
to make a point.
KEATON:
Then make it. Christ, you're making me
tired all over.
McManus looks at Keaton.
McMANUS
I heard you were dead, Keaton.
KEATON:
You heard right.
HOCKNEY:
The word I got is you hung up your spurs,
man. What's that all about?
McMANUS
What's this?
HOCKNEY:
Rumor has it, Keaton's gone straight -
cleaning house. I hear he's tapping Edie
Finneran.
McMANUS
Who?
HOCKNEY:
She's a heavy-weight criminal lawyer from
uptown. Big-time connected. She could
erase Dillinger's record if she tried. I
hear she's Keaton's meal ticket.
(To Keaton)
Is it true?
McMANUS
What about it, Keaton? You a lawyer's
wife. What sort of "retainer" you giving
her?
SCRIPT DATE 5/25/94
17.
Keaton shoots McManus a fiery glare.
FENSTER:
I'd say you've gotten on his main and
central nerve, McManus.
KEATON:
Do your friend a favor, Fenster, keep him
quiet .
McMANUS
You're clean, Keaton? Say it ain't so.
Was it you that hit that truck?
FENSTER:
Forget him. It's not important. I was
trying to make a point.
KEATON:
(Ignoring McManus)
This whole thing was a shakedown.
McMANUS
What makes you say that?
KEATON:
How many times have you been in a line-
up? It's always you and four dummies. The
P.D. pays homeless guys ten bucks a head
half the time. No way they'd line five
felons in the same row. No way. And what
the hell is a voice line-.up? A public
defender could get you off of that.
