TWINS - Rev. 4/27/88 46/47.

65 INT. PARKING LOT - DAY 65

Vince checks beneath the caddy's tires, then rises,

frustrated.

JULIUS:

What's the matter?

VINCE:

That dopey Sam -- He did it again.

Forgot to leave the keys... A lot

of handicapped kids are gonna be

really disappointed...

JULIUS:

(moved)

Handicapped children?

(CONTINUED)

TWINS - 4/14/88 48.

65 CONTINUED:
65

VINCE:

This car was supposed to be

auctioned off at their charity

drive tomorrow. Oh, well, let's

go eat.

JULIUS:

Maybe we should try to open it

ourselves...

Vince raises his eyebrows in mock surprise.

VINCE:

You think we should do a thing

like that?

JULIUS:

Of course -- it's for the

children...

CUT TO:

CLOSEUP - SLIM JIM

Vince inserts it into the Cadillac's driver's-side *

window, watched by Julius.

VINCE:

(feigning ignorance)

I saw a guy from the auto club do

this once...

The door locks suddenly pop up in unison.

VINCE:

Whaddya know? Beginner's luck!

CUT TO:

VINCE:

As he takes a breath, opens the door, scoots inside --

-- and the instant he does there is this terrible

shrieking SIREN sound --

-- Vince frantically scrambles around, lying on the car

seat, trying to make it stop but he can't --

-- and then two things happen:

)O( TWINS - Rev. 7/5/88 49. *

65 CONTINUED:
(2) 65

First, the car tilts and Vince is pitched unceremoniously

forward, landing on the floor of the car under the steer-

ing wheel. He scrambles back to the seat -- it's not easy

because of the angle.

Second, the SIREN STOPS. Vince looks out the car window.

CUT TO:

JULIUS:

holding the rear of the car several feet up in the air.

JULIUS:

When the back end is raised to an

angle greater than 45 degrees, a

mercury switch activates the

automatic cutoff system. The

alarm's computer thinks the car

is being towed away and shuts off.

VINCE:

No sh*t...

It's beginning to dawn on Vince that there may be more to

Julius than meets the eye.

66 EXT. LOS ANGELES STREET - MAGIC HOUR 66

The Cadillac passes by, Vince at the wheel.

A pause.

Now the Mustang comes along, Julius at the wheel. He

drives terribly, stopping and starting -- jerking along.

Julius suddenly puts his foot on the gas and roars past

Vincent.

CUT TO:

A67 INT. JULIUS' CAR - MOVING - DUSK A67

Julius is speeding like a kid with a new toy. Suddenly

the CAR PHONE BEEPS. He locates the source of the sound,

and picks up the phone.

JULIUS:

(into phone)

Vincent Benedict's car.

(a beat)

Vincent! Where are you?

(CONTINUED)

)T( TWINS - Rev. 7/5/88 PM 50. *

A67 CONTINUED:
A67

VINCE (V.O.)

Ya see that little dot in your

rearview mirror? That's me.

JULIUS:

(waving into mirror)

Hi, Vincent.

VINCE (V.O.)

There's a supermarket up ahead.

Take your foot off the gas and

very -- very -- very gently

put it on the brake.

JULIUS:

The brake -- right.

CUT TO:

B67 EXT. SUPERMARKET PARKING LOT - DUSK B67

As Julius makes a sharp turn -- on two wheels -- into

the parking lot and comes to a dramatic squealing stop

that spins the car around 180 degrees.

Vince's car pulls in a moment later. He gets out, gazes

at the skid marks as a smiling Julius approaches.

JULIUS:

The brakes worked just fine!

VINCE:

Lemme tell you something about

America, Julius -- nobody likes

a smart-ass.

CUT TO:

67 INT. SUPERMARKET - NIGHT 67

Julius and Vince enter the supermarket.

CUT TO:

LINDA AND MARNIE

are pushing a cart down one of the other aisles. Linda

is filling it with birthday candles, cake mixes, etc.

(CONTINUED)

)T( TWINS - Rev. 7/5/88 PM 50A.

67 CONTINUED:
(A1) 67

LINDA:

(as she reaches

for some cake mix)

Angel's food or devil's food?

MARNIE:

The answer's obvious.
