JULIUS:

I don't know what the problem is,

but I'm sure it can be solved

without resorting to violence.

MORRIS KLANE:

(absolutely in

agreement)

Okay, okay.

JULIUS:

Good. *

Julius lets go of Klane, who gets to his feet, turns

around, and instantly lets fly with his fist at Julius's

face.

Here Julius effortlessly blocks the punch and goes right

on talking.

JULIUS:

You moved too soon.

Klane spins and aims a karate kick at Julius's head.

Julius coolly ducks it and sends Klane crashing into a

wall.

JULIUS:

An important rule in a crisis *

situation -- negotiate first,

attack last. You never

negotiated. You don't know what

kind of enemy I am.

Klane drags himself to his feet while trying to gauge what

he's up against.

MORRIS KLANE:

Who are you?

JULIUS:

Vincent's brother.

VINCE:

(happily)

We're twins.

Klane isn't buying it. Seeing a fire axe inside a GLASS

CASE on the wall, he SMASHES through and grabs it.

MORRIS KLANE:

You're firewood.

JULIUS:

You have no respect for logic -- *

Klane charges Julius, who sidesteps his blow. The axe is

is imbedded in the wall. As Julius grabs him.

JULIUS:

-- And I have no respect for those

with no respect for logic. You're

a very stupid person.

CLOSEUP - JULIUS

CUT TO:

VINCE:

Watching as Julius picks up Klane with both hands and

lifts him a foot up into the air, holding him there for a

pause.

CUT TO:

VINCE:

-- And this next is timed perfectly -- as he pushes the

elevator button and...

CUT TO:

ELEVATOR DOOR:

slides open and...

CUT TO:

JULIUS:

As he heaves Klane across the corridor into the open

elevator Klane crashes down hard just as the door slides

shut and...

CUT TO:

TWINS - Rev. 4/22/88 44.

63 CONTINUED:

VINCE:

Shouting as the door closes on the crumpled Klane.

VINCE:

Tell your brother 'He messes

with me, he messes with my whole

family!'

64 EXT. VINCE'S OFFICE - STREET - LATE AFTERNOON 64

Despite himself, Vince is definitely warming to Julius.

VINCE:

(happy)

I like it when you hit people!

JULIUS:

I hate violence.

VINCE:

But you're so good at it. We

ought to go into business together.

You could be a boxer and I'll be

your manager.

JULIUS:

I don't think I could fight for

money.

VINCE:

No problem. You do the fighting,

I'll keep all the money.

JULIUS:

(laughing)

I'm worried about you, Vincent.

*

They reach Vince's Mustang and get in.

JULIUS:

How much money do you owe? Don't

lie -- we're twins, I can feel

your pain.

VINCE:

(exploding)

Why do you keep saying that?

We're not twins, we're not

brothers, we're nothing, and

you're only in this car because I

could use a little protection

these days --

JULIUS:

(closing his eyes)

Twenty thousand?

VINCE:

(a beat; then,

quietly)

Due this morning.

AA65 INT. MUSTANG - DRIVING SHOT - LATE AFTERNOON AA65

Suddenly Vince bangs his forehead with the palm of his

hand.

VINCE:

I don't know where my head is -- I

forgot I promised this friend of

mine -- Sammy -- I'd pick up his

car at the airport -- do me a big

favor, okay? Drive this car back

from the airport for me.

JULIUS:

I'd love to.

Julius reaches into the glove compartment, takes out the

car manual, begins speed reading it, running his index

finger down the center of each page.

VINCE:

What are you doing with that

finger?

JULIUS:

Learning to drive.

Vince isn't sure what's going on at this point. Now

Julius studies Vince's shifting moves, the way his hands

work the steering wheel. Now he's back to the manual.

Now he's staring at Vince.

Vince and Julius's heads are both in motion now --

Julius's from the book to the wheel, Vince's from the

road to Julius's finger. As their heads keep turning --
