Tower Heist Page #2

I've been covering

your ass all week.

Simon is

breathing down my neck.

What are you doing?

(SIGHS) I'm worried.

Did you hear what I was saying?

Simon is going to fire you.

Simon is not going to fire me today.

I got the red flowers.

Red flowers?

Yeah, it's Chinese New Year.

Mrs. Jin will be

down here any second.

It's crucial the first thing she

hears be something positive.

Her entire year depends on it.

Mrs. Jin.

(SPEAKING MANDARIN)

Happy New Year.

(CHUCKLES)

Did you see that smile?

JOSH:
Wanted to see me?

SIMON:
Yeah.

Fitzhugh is refusing to leave.

We've never had a forced

eviction at The Tower.

If they drag Mr. Fitzhugh and

his family into the street,

it's bad for all of us.

Why don't you talk to him?

This is your

responsibility, Josh.

The bank comes in the morning.

Get him out.

(KNOCKING)

Mr. Fitzhugh,

it's Josh Kovaks, sir.

(HEAVY OBJECT BEING MOVED)

(FITZHUGH GRUNTING)

Good morning, Josh.

Are you alone?

Yeah.

Hey, did you see what

the market did today?

Went up 106 points.

Ask me why it did that?

Why?

I don't know,

but I used to know.

That's why they hired

me at Merrill Lynch.

Mr. Fitzhugh, you know this

apartment is now owned by the bank.

They'd like you to

vacate immediately.

We told the kids that we

were turning the apartment

into a park.

Going green.

That's how we explained

all the furniture

being sold and the tents

in the living room.

Luckily, my children aren't

very bright, so they bought it.

But they have smart friends and

those friends are catching on.

Sir, the bank will be

here tomorrow morning.

I went to Yale 20 years ago,

and now I'm a squatter.

Can't wait for their reunion.

"Hello, nice to see you. I squat."

What about family?

No, I invested all their money.

They won't return my calls.

I'd sleep in my car, but they

repossessed it three months ago.

So, you see,

I have to stay here,

because we have

nowhere else to go.

It's illegal for you to be here.

You're committing a crime.

I understand that.

But we might be doing some

elevator maintenance tomorrow.

I'm thinking that the

elevators will be shut down

and those people from the bank will

just have to come back another time.

ARTHUR:
...because,

it's like you go down one.

(ENRIQUE LAUGHING)

Hey, Mr. Kovaks.

Mr. Shaw, I see you

met Mr. Dev'Reaux

This guy owns his own island with jet skis.

How cool is that?

He's our probationary

elevator operator.

He's still very early

in the interview process.

Why don't we finish the job

interview right now, Josh?

Suppose I ask you to pick

me up a cheeseburger,

Enrique, what would you say?

How do you like it cooked?

The thing is, I like a certain

kind of Brie on my burger,

and they only sell it at

Danny's Cheese Shop downtown.

Hm on my way

And the beef has

to be grass-fed.

The best butcher shop in New

York is on Bleecker Street, sir.

(CHUCKLING)

Josh, hire him.

Yes, that was my gut, sir.

And, Enrique, one other thing.

I like to get my own

burgers whenever possible.

I may have my own

private island in Belize,

but deep down I'm just an

Astoria boy like Josh here.

We come from

the same neighborhood.

That's right, PS 104. Go Lions!

My first real job was shoveling

horseshit at Aqueduct Racetrack.

Don't you ever let me forget it.

I won't, sir.

All right, go downstairs

and get a nametag from Rose.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

Why don't we hit it tonight, Josh?

Raise some hell.

We have to be back

here in nine hours.

Remember that time you danced

on that bar in Times Square?

I almost fainted.

That's a drunken dream

you had six years ago.

You were shaking your ass

up there like Tina Turner.

Running half naked on Broadway

telling tourists you were

Mustafa from The Lion King.

That's ridiculous.

It never happened.

I was waiting to tell you.

This is going to be my last year at The Tower.

What?

In a few months,

I'm headed to San Diego

to spend a little

time with Lorraine.

I might even cruise around the world

with all the other old farts.

Wow.

That's great. That's really great.

I'm going to miss you.

I'll be thinking

about you, Josh.

Here's your bus.

Be thinking about how

you danced on that bar.

Yeah!

I got it all up here.

I don't know

where you got that.

Circle of life, Josh.

Circle of life!

(LAUGHS)

(ALARM BEEPING)

(SIGHS)

FEMALE RADIO HOST: Not many of you

kill your own Thanksgiving turkey,

but you might

want to consider it.

SLIDE:
Sh*t, Rita,

get your ass back in here!

I ain't going to be

chasing you all around.

Goodbye, Slide!

Hey, hey, Rita, come on now,

it's 5:
30 in the morning.

Not little sh*t like this.

Come on now.

I told you, I don't even

know nobody named Maria.

Yeah, well, she sure as

sh*t knows you, Slide!

It was a wrong number.

Then why did she ask

for you, stupid? Why?

It was a wrong number!

I just...

(RITA SPEAKING

RAPID SPANISH)

I don't know what

you are saying, b*tch!

Lester, it's 9:
15.

Why is Mr. Shaw's car still here?

Maybe he's sick.

JOSH:
That black sedan has been

parked there for two days.

Why no boot or ticket?

I called the cops twice.

Do you remember

that morning robbery

at the International last year?

I want you to slowly lock the

door and clear the lobby.

Stay calm.

Lock it down.

Code Black on all doors and elevators.

Repeat, Code Black.

What's Code Black?

Are you serious? We talked about

it at the meeting last month.

Let me see the outside

of the building.

I think we're

about to be robbed.

There were four guys

out there with guns.

Where did they go?

Let me see the garage.

Why is Stillman here?

Laundry pick-up was yesterday.

Mr. Shaw asked us

to call him.

Someone spilled wine

on his tablecloth.

He's bringing it

down right now.

Wait a second.

Those are not the Stillman brothers.

Oh, my God,

they're taking Shaw.

This isn't a robbery,

it's a kidnapping.

It's a kidnapping!

Call 911!

Yes, sir.

Code Black, Manuel!

Code Black!

What's Code Black?

Hey! Whoa!

Whoa!

Hey! Stop!

Shoot at the tires!

I only have my Taser!

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(HORNS HONKING)

JOSH:
Hey, stop!

MAN:
Watch out!

MALE FBI AGENT 1: Move in!

Move in! Move in!

Don't move.

MALE FBI AGENT 2: Get

your hands in the air!

(SIRENS BLARING)

FBI, show me your hands.

MALE FBI AGENT 2: Let's go.

ARTHUR:
Okay, all right.

MALE FBI AGENT 2:

Put them behind your back!

ARTHUR:
Take it easy.

No, get off him!

He's the victim!

That's Arthur Shaw!

He lives in The Tower.

He was bringing his laundry down.

They kidnapped him.

This was not a kidnapping,

it was an attempt to flee.

JOSH:
What?

Arrest him and get

him out of here.

Josh, do me a favor, turn off

the heater and cover the pool.

I hate to waste money.

MALE RADIO HOST:
Wall

Street kingpin Arthur Shaw,

number 138 on

the Forbes 400 last year,

was arrested today in Manhattan

while trying to flee the city.

Sources have confirmed

that he'll be charged

with several counts
