This really gets to Granger -- the injustice of it all.

He points to Traven's face in the photo.

GRANGER:

Mitchell Traven. He supervised

the experiment for the government.

GRANGER (CONT'D)

He's the one responsible for all

of this. He still runs the

genetics lab at Los Alamos, New

Mexico.

JULIUS:

I'll go see him.

GRANGER:

Watch out for him -- he's kind of

a d*ckhead, if you know what I

mean.

JULIUS:

No, I don't -- but I'm learning.

90 EXT. CHOP SHOP - DAY 90

As the Cadillac enters through a gate and makes its way

past the hulks of dead cars towards the same body shop

we saw earlier.

91 INT. CHOP SHOP - INSIDE CADILLAC - DAY 91

As Vince cleans out the glove compartment, pocketing

some cigars and spare change. He pulls the cassette out

of the STEREO, glances at it, pops it back in, turns it

ON, and hears:

GARFIELD (V.O.)

Mr. Webster, I hope you're happy

with the vehicle we chose for your

little journey. When you get to

Houston, phone 713/555-0342 and *

ask for Beetroot McKinley. He

will arrange to trade you a

briefcase for the merchandise in

the trunk.

91 CONTINUED: 91

Vince stops the car dead, the Body Shop Owner comes up

to him.

BODY SHOP OWNER:

New Caddy? Let's check it out.

As the chop shop Owner checks under the hood of the Caddy

-- Vince moves to the back of the car and pops open the

trunk.

The trunk is filled with a sleeping bag that might contain

a dead body. Vince unzips the bag, sees some kind of

giant engine part. He tries to lift it out -- It won't

budge.

Vince closes the trunk --

Vince looks at the Owner who's already counting out the

cash from his bankroll.

BODY SHOP OWNER:

The car's okay -- I'll give you

three grand.

VINCE:

(deciding and

getting in the car)

Sorry -- the car's been promised

for a kid's charity.

BODY SHOP OWNER:

Okay, four grand.

As Vince starts to drive away:

BODY SHOP OWNER:

(calling out)

Okay -- Six thousand -- that's

as high as I'm going...

99 INT. VINCE'S APARTMENT - DAY 99

A piece of paper by the phone on which Vince is writing.

It's got Beetroot McKinley's name and phone number on it.

And also one amount: $20,000. On the desk is a map with

Houston circled. Vince has just finished dialing. The

phone is picked up before the first ring is half over.

100 EXT. HOUSTON SKYSCRAPER - DAY 100

A sign on the top of the building reads: "McKinley

Aerospace."

VOICE (V.O.)

Beetroot McKinley talkin'.

CUT TO:

101 VINCE'S APARTMENT - CLOSEUP OF VINCE - DAY 101

He doesn't know whether to sh*t or wind his watch just

now -- God knows what he's into.

McKINLEY(V.O.)

Who's cloggin' up the line?

California. I happen to have some

merchandise you might want --

CUT TO:

102 INT. McKINLEY'S OFFICE - DAY 102 *

A huge office in Houston. We are looking at the bottom

of a pair of fancy boots. It blocks the view for the

moment of the speaker, but we can see a briefcase on the

desk.

McKINLEY *

Well, bring it to me, son, and

let me enrich you.

VINCE (V.O.)

It's the amount of enrichment I

want to talk about.

Boots down now -- we are looking at a very rich, very

tough S.O.B.

McKINLEY

Don't try and renegotiate with Old

Beetroot, son --

CUT TO:

103 INT. VINCE'S APARTMENT - VINCE 103

Edgy. His pencil bounces up and down on the crucial

amount, the twenty thousand.

VINCE:

Look, Beetroot -- if we can't

renegotiate we wither and die.

I'm not delivering any goddam

Cadillac without knowing for sure

I got twenty for my cut.
