Top Coat Cash Page #5

Synopsis: The movie opens as Johnny Thompson loses a vital MMA match in Vegas. Because of his unscrupulous dealings, he flees Vegas and returns to his hometown of Kansas City. Things heat up when Joe McCray, the bookie from Vegas, arrives in Kansas City with two of his lackeys to collect from Johnny. As this is occurring, Jason and Tom Perkins, a father son duo who operate a nail salon, are looking for partners to join in their daring bank heists after one of their partners is killed. Jason and Tom learn that Johnny, with whom they worked with years before, is back in town. They decide to approach Johnny with an "opportunity". Johnny agrees to join them, but the situation progressively deteriorates when the FBI and Joe McCray begin to suspect (with good reason) that Johnny is behind the bank heists. An array of characters enter the picture to complicate the plot, including: Eric Hoffman (a corrupt banker), Brennan (an amateur race car driver), Jason's wife, Johnny's son, Johnny's ex-wife, Earnes

- We know where you live.

We know your wife

and Johnny we know your

girlfriend and your son

and I don't think any of them

want you to f*** this up.

- What's going on?

- Joe mccray is a

bookie from Vegas.

I borrowed money from

him before my last fight

so I could bet on myself.

- Eric and the

bookie are friends.

Maybe Eric's been talking.

- Who's Eric?

- Five robberies, six

sweeps, and no f***ing leads.

Nobody's that good.

- Miller.

I've got a friend in the NYPD,

a few years ago he had

a case that was similar

to this one.

Three black males dressed

as white NYPD detectives

rob a bank.

Case goes on for weeks,

then months, no leads.

Nothing.

- So how'd they get 'em?

- One of the knuckleheads

writes a letter

to the mask company, he

thanks them for making

such great masks.

- Really?

- For 1,000 bucks you can

have you identity changed,

completely.

- Well their m.O

is that they're only

robbing the Kansas City

banks that have branches that

are close to the interstate.

This one was in like a half

a mile from an on-ramp.

- What about the fighter?

- The fighter, who's that?

- It's Johnny Thompson,

he's from this area,

he's been training in

Vegas for several months.

Just had a fight in

Vegas, big fight,

got his ass kicked, came

back home got busted

for domestic violence, posted

bail, out in the streets

within hours.

- Does he have a record?

- Oh hell yeah, he

spent several years in

the state penitentiary for

accessory to armed robbery.

He and his two partners

robbed a convenience store.

They didn't know

the clerk had a gun.

One of his partners turned

his back on his way out,

a guy named Steve Winston.

The clerk shot him in the

back, put him in a wheelchair.

Johnny and this Winston guy

never ratted on the other guy

so he's still out there.

Ironically his dad

was also a fighter

and a bank robber.

Got killed in the bank

heist back in the 80s.

After Thompson got out of

jail, he went back to the gym,

trained, eventually turned pro.

- Miller, we can put

a tail on Johnny.

We follow him, find out

who he's running with,

we'll ID his whole crew,

and every player in it.

- Where you been?

- Oh you know, out with

the girls, little shopping.

We saw a movie.

- What movie did you see?

- Just some comedy, I'll

say it wasn't very funny.

- Who was in it?

- Ben stiller, why?

- That's strange, I didn't

realize he had a movie

out right now.

- What are

you doing, Jason?

- I'm just trying to

have a conversation

with my wife.

So, uh,

where'd you really go?

- I'll tell you what,

why don't you follow me

around tomorrow?

Then you can see where i

go and what I do everyday.

Okay?

- Where did you go, Kristen?

- F*** off, Jason.

- Is he the first, or is

he just one in a long line?

- I think the fumes

at the nail salon

are starting to f***

with your brain a little.

- You know what?

- What?

- You're a whore.

You're no better than the

whores we have working

in the salon, we have

an opening, no interview

required for you.

- At least I'm not a f*ggot.

- The f*** did you say to me?

- I said, you are a f*ggot.

- You and your dad,

running that nail salon.

You're a f***ing joke.

- You f***ing b*tch!

- Get off me!

I'll call the FBI,

- oh yeah?

- I swear to god!

- Yeah, yeah?

- Stop it!

Let go of me!

- I want you to

get out, you hear me?

I want you to get out!

Get your sh*t and

get out of here!

- If anyone's leaving, it's you.

What are you gonna do, shoot me?

- You're god damn right, I will.

- Fine, your ass is

gonna be in prison once

I tell them what's been

going on in that salon.

- You think Eric is a

Saint, what the f*** do you

think we've been

conducting business for?

- Hello?

- Eric, Joe mccray.

- Hey Joe.

Good seeing you the other night,

I thought you said you

wouldn't be caught dead here,

why are you here anyway?

- Business, you gotta

go where the money is.

- Like there's a lot for

you here in Kansas City.

- Listen, I'm gonna be

coming into quite a bit

of money here in the next

few days and I could use

your help deciding

what to do with it.

- Yeah sure.

- I don't wanna talk

about this over the phone

so I'm out here in the

parking lot, I'm wondering if

I could come in, talk awhile.

- Sure whatever i

could do to help.

- Okay.

- I'll see ya in a minute.

- May I help you?

- Yes I'm Joe mccray

here to see Eric Hoffman.

- Okay, just a moment please.

A Joe mccray is here to see you.

Sure, I'll send him back.

You can go on in.

- Thank you.

- Joe mccray,

- hi Eric,

- Good to see you.

Come on in, come on in.

So, how can I help you Joe?

- Oh the usual, got

some money to clean up.

- How much we talking?

- Two million.

- Two million?

Let me guess, investments?

- Hey.

- May I help you?

- I need to speak

to Eric Hoffman.

- Okay, do you have

an appointment?

- I didn't think I needed one.

- We've got a real

nice piece of property

we'd like to buy in Vegas.

- Well I'm sorry but if you

don't have an appointment--

- just pick up the

f***ing phone and tell him

Kristen's here.

- Okay.

- Nice.

Oh, just a minute.

Yeah?

Who?

Tell her to give

me just a minute.

- Sure, alright.

- He said he'll

be right with you.

Would you like to have a seat?

- No, I'm fine.

- Somebody robbing the bank or--

- sh*t.

- Hey, hey, isn't that that

wife of that guy that owns

the nail salon?

- Yeah it is.

- You son of a b*tch, you're

nailing that aren't you?

You know I was in the nail

salon a couple days ago.

Nice place.

- What are you doing

at his nail salon?

- Business.

- What'd you get?

A pedicure or a sucky-fucky?

- Well, you know, i

figure I'm in Kansas City

I might as well look

good and feel good

at the same time.

- That's kinda weird,

don't you think?

- Not as weird as you

f***ing the wife of one

of your customers.

- Well she's a customer too.

- That's even more f***ed up.

- Not really.

- Oh mercy, you know

what I'm starting to like

Kansas City.

- Well, you should.

Just a minute.

Yeah?

- What?

Well,

stop her.

- You want me to get that?

- No.

- How long are you

gonna make me wait?

Jesus Christ.

- I'm in a meeting Kristen.

- Could we

have some privacy please?

- Uh, I was just leaving.

I'll call you on that later on.

And good luck.

- He knows.

- Who?

Knows what?

- Jason, about us.

He knows about us.

- You're just being paranoid,

he doesn't know sh*t.

- Trust me, he knows.

- Have a good day.

- But I found out something

you might be interested in.

- Really, what's that?

- I think I know how they're

buying all this real estate.

And I have an idea how

we can leave Kansas City

and be set for life.

- Wait a second.

I recognize that guy.

He was at the gym the

other day claiming to be

an attorney.

- He's obviously

not an attorney.

- Son of a b*tch.

Did Eric f***ing rat us out?

- Listen pretty lady.

I have no complaints.

And I've got no reason to leave.
