BB:

I'll be back, Moe. I'm gonna

even the score.

He gets out of the car, quickly walks over to Tilley's

Cadillac, and with a swift kick, he kicks the headlight

that isn't already broken.

CUT TO:

35 INT. ENTRANCE LOBBY TO PIMLICO HOTEL - NIGHT 35

Tilley, Sam, Mouse and Gil are about to leave the hotel.

They're putting their coats on just inside the closed

door. Tilley is halfway into his coat.

TILLEY:

(to Mouse)

Give me eight points I take the

Knicks over the Lakers for 20.

MOUSE:

It's too big a spread.

We hear the sound of BREAKING GLASS. Tilley responds to

the sound. He looks out of the glass doors and sees BB

kicking in the headlight of his car. BB runs back

towards his car.

TILLEY:

It's that f***ing lunatic again.

He races out of the door of the hotel towards BB's car

which pulls away and speeds down the street. Several

of the tin men run after Tilley. He stands in the street

watching the car disappear.

TILLEY:

(still looking

after the car)

Can you believe this guy? Is

he sane or what?

MOUSE:

Isn't that something?

SAM:

What's he got, a gnat up his ass?

What the hell's wrong with the

guy?

GIL:

Don't you recognize him from the

Corral?

TILLEY:

TILLEY:

I'll tell you something, if Mr.

Marengay wants to play... we'llplay.

of the porches of one row house on top of another.

37 INT. PORCH OF HOUSE - NIGHT 37

Tilley is letting himself into his house. He goes intothe kitchen where Nora is sitting, drinking a cup ofcoffee and working on a crossword puzzle. He takes off

his coat and throws it on a chair.

NORA:

(without looking upfrom the crossword

puzzle)

Look at you, quarter to three andhome already. What happened?

You and the fellas run out of

things to talk about?

TILLEY:

Please! I'm out there workingmyself to the bone, trying to makea living.

He goes over to the refrigerator and gets himself someorange juice.

NORA:

What's a five letter word for a

Portuguese overseas province?

Try Macao.

TILLEY:

NORA:

M-A-C-A-O... that fits.

TILLEY:

What're you doing up so late?

NORA:

We're off tomorrow.

Beat.

TILLEY:

I think this place may be a little

too large for us.

NORA:

What are you talking about... this

match box?

TILLEY:

It's got a lot of overhead to it.

What do you do... spend your time

in the bedroom and the kitchen,

that's all. So why do you need a

living room and a dining room.

He walks over to the back door and looks out.

TILLEY:

Why do ya need a back yard?

NORA:

You're not selling anything?

TILLEY:

I'm in a slump.

NORA:

It happens.

TILLEY:

Last year I'm number three top

seller... year before, right up

there. I can't get my momentum

going this year.

NORA:

Well, you will. You always do.

TILLEY:

(beat)

I'm not sure I like the idea of

all this overhead breathing down

my neck. When you have a place

like this, that's a lot of

overhead.

(CONTINUED)

37 CONTINUED:

NORA:

What are you talking about? The

monthly payments on your Cadillacare more than this whole house.

Why don't you get yourselfsomething cheaper, like a Chevy?

TILLEY:

It doesn't instill confidence in

my clients. Cadillac means that

you're dealing with someone ofimportance.

(beat)

I thought I had a couple tonight...

they just slipped away... slipped

away.

(beat)

I'm gonna take a bath -- my neck'sbeen tight since this morning.

NORA:

I'll turn out the lights.

Nora gets up and puts the cups in the sink -- gives abig sigh.

CUT TO:

38 INT. TILLEY'S HOUSE - BATHROOM - NIGHT 38

Tilley is in the tub, lathering himself.

and sits on the side of the tub.

Nora enters

NORA:

You know, Tilley, we hardly everdo things together.

Like what?

TILLEY:

NORA:

Do things together that areenjoyable.

TILLEY:

What would we do together forit to be enjoyable?

NORA:

If we went on a picnic... itwould be fun.

(CONTINUED)

38 CONTINUED:

TILLEY:

I don't understand a picnic...

we just go some place... we put

a thing on the ground, and we

eat.

NORA:

Yes... it's nice to do that.

TILLEY:

Why? I don't get it. It's better

sitting at home and watching TV.

NORA:

I think there's something nice

about a picnic... it's fun.

TILLEY:

What's fun about it? Ants get

into the food... there's bees.

I don't get it. We have to drive,

it takes maybe an hour to get

there, then you sit in grass and

eat. Why is that fun?

NORA:

I just thought it might be nice

to do something together, that's

all... thought it might be fun.

TILLEY:

It doesn't sound like fun to me...

you take the stuff you've got here

in the house, you take it someplace

to eat it. It's just as much fun

eating in front of the TV, and

we do that together, don't we? No

ants and no bees... much more

comfortable.

NORA:

It's not the same thing.

TILLEY:

Scrub my back, will ya, Nora.

Nora picks up the back brush, puts soap on it and starts

scrubbing Tilley's back.

(CONTINUED)

TILLEY:

Not too hard!

(beat)

Don't get me wrong, I'm willingto do anything with you. I'm

just a little stymied by apicnic. If you want to go, sendme a postcard.

Nora drops the brush in the tub and walks out of thebathroom.

TILLEY:

What did I say?

CUT TO:

39 EXT. INDUSTRIAL PARK - DAY 39

We see Tilley's Cadillac cruising the streets, obviouslylooking for someone.

CUT TO:

40 INT. TILLEY'S CADILLAC - DAY 40

Tilley is driving with Gil in the passenger seat.

GIL:

I think you make a left here.

Tilley turns the car.

GIL:

Yeah... there it is... that's the

place... Superior Aluminum...

that's it over there.

As Tilley pulls up we see BB's car parked outside of thebuilding.

TILLEY:

Okay, Mr. Marengay... here I come.

He reaches into the backseat of the car and takes out a

crowbar.

GIL:

Hey, Tilley, don't go too wild...

(CONTINUED)

TILLEY:

I'll show the son of a b*tch.

He gets out of the car, crosses to BB's Cadillac, and

smashes in the windshield and all of the windows of the

car.
