Vince gets up --

VINCE:

(to himself as he

leaves)

Just don't ask me to bend over --

CUT TO:

55 EXT. POLICE STATION - PARKING LOT - DAY 55

A bunch of impounded cars. Vince and Julius walk toward

a small building in the center.

(CONTINUED)

TWINS - Rev. 4/27/88 35.

55 CONTINUED:
55

VINCE:

Listen, 'twinny,' I hope you

didn't blow your wad on those

tickets, 'cause it's gonna cost a

bunch more to release my car.

JULIUS:

I have some more money --

VINCE:

You do?

JULIUS:

I am happy to help you, Vincent.

You're my brother. I love you.

VINCE:

Julius -- look -- ease up on the

love talk or I'm gonna be

tossing my cookies, all right?

JULIUS:

Tossing cookies, that is more

slang?

VINCE:

Just gimme your wallet, okay?

As Julius sweetly hands it over --

56 OMITTED 56 *

56A EXT. POLICE IMPOUND OFFICE - DAY 56A *

As Julius counts out almost the last of his money to the

police attendant, who hands him a set of keys. Vince

grabs them and walks out of the building. Julius

follows.

57 EXT. IMPOUND PARKING LOT - DAY 57

JULIUS:

I know what you're thinking?

VINCE:

No, you don't.

JULIUS:

You're thinking that this whole

twin business is what you call

'bullshit.'

(CONTINUED)

TWINS - Rev. 5/2/88 36.

57 CONTINUED:
57

This is exactly what Vince has been thinking.

VINCE:

Actually, I was thinking I'm going

to need some more money -- to put

gas in my car --

JULIUS:

You can take some more money --

VINCE:

I can?

JULIUS:

Sure...

VINCE:

We're brothers -- right?

Julius tries to drape an arm around Vince's shoulder.

Vince gives him a look. Julius drops his arm.

TIME CUT TO:

A58 EXT. IMPOUND PARKING LOT - DAY A58

Vince and Julius are walking down a long line of cars.

VINCE:

They arrest you, they put you *

behind bars, they fine you and *

then they hide your car. *

JULIUS:

That's --

(points)

-- your car, isn't it?

CUT TO:

VINCE'S MUSTANG

Which is what Julius is pointing at.

VINCE:

Yeah -- How'd you know that was

my car.

JULIUS:

We're twins!

(CONTINUED)

TWINS - Rev. 4/27/88 37.

A58 CONTINUED:
A58

Vince unlocks his side, gets in. Julius, smiling and

happy, starts to walk around to the other side.

JULIUS:

(very happy)

I'm so excited -- we'll go to

museums together, discuss

philosophy together, read books

together -- play chess together --

VINCE:

-- Get lost together --

And on that, he GUNS his CAR the hell away, leaving

Julius standing there.

CUT TO:

JULIUS:

Deserted, alone in the sea of cars.

58 EXT. AIRPORT - PARKING LOT - DAY 58

As a gleaming new Cadillac rolls up to the ticket booth.

Al leans out from the booth, taking in the car and its

occupants -- two men, one in a Hawaiian shirt, one in a

tanktop, both wearing Ray-Bans. They look like they're

going on vacation.

(CONTINUED)

TWINS - Rev. 6/22/88 38.

58 CONTINUED:
58

AL:

Hey, the new Sedan DeVille... Very

nice.

The driver, GARFIELD, just nods, holds out his hand for

the ticket.

AL:

You guys must be going to Hawaii,

huh? Catch that good surf.

GARFIELD:

Something like that.

The two men just stare straight ahead, uninterested in

conversation. Al hands the driver a ticket.

AL:

There's plenty of space on level

four.

The Cadillac accelerates up the ramp.

59 INT. PARKING LOT - INSIDE CADILLAC - DAY 59

as it pulls into a parking spot in the enclosed lot.

Man #2, LARSON, opens an attache case, removes a

cassette, inserts it into the tape deck while the driver

wipes down the steering wheel, gearshift, etc. with a

cloth to remove their fingerprints.

OUTSIDE CADILLAC

as the men get out, lock the car, wipe off the door

handles, and then head for the elevator.

CUT TO:
