Twins Page #3

CARLA:

Be right down, sweetheart!

Vince checks his appearance in a dresser mirror,

straightens his Armani suit, brushes his hair, pulls it

into a fashionable ponytail. He cuts a stylish figure.

Noticing an expensive gold lighter on the dresser top,

he covertly pockets it.

Carla pushes him towards the open French doors.

CARLA:

Hurry up! I gotta make breakfast!

VINCE:

You're wonderful, Carla. Your husband

doesn't deserve to kiss your feet.

TWINS - 4/14/88 7.

15 EXT. BALCONY - DAY 15

Vince steps out and jauntily climbs over the rail. It's

very clear he likes the danger, being on the edge. In

another life, he was probably Errol Flynn. Now, he gives

Carla an Errol Flynn smile --

-- and with that, he leaps into space!

CUT TO:

16 EXT. AL'S HOUSE - AWNING BELOW - DAY 16 *

As Vince gracefully lands, bounces off it onto the ground.

He bends, picks up a flower, puts it in the outside

pocket of his Armani suit, heads toward a new Mustang *

parked not far away.

CUT TO:

17 EXT. AL'S HOUSE - MUSTANG - DAY 17 *

As Vince gets in, starting to sing.

VINCE:

(he's got a good

voice)

'Oh what a beautiful morning,

Oh what a beautiful day'...

Now he does something surprising -- not starting to drive,

we expect that. What we don't expect is his destination

-- because what he does is simply turn the nearest corner

and drive right back to the house he just snuck out of.

VINCE:

(exiting the car,

still singing)

... 'everything's going my way'...

CUT TO:

18 INT. AL'S HOUSE - DAY 18 *

where Carla, in her robe, is working away starting to

make breakfast. Vince enters, gives her the sweetest

smile.

VINCE:

Carla, what a joy to look at you.

VINCE (CONT'D)

(as she gives him

a look)

Is my partner and best friend, Al

home from work yet? I am the

bringer of good tidings.

The kitchen door opens and AL GRECO enters. He is sing-

ing "Happy Birthday" and carries a wrapped gift held out

in front of him. He's dressed in overalls with an

insignia on his breast pocket that reads "AIRPORT

PARKING."

VINCE:

Stop with that horrible song, you

know how I hate birthdays; they're

worse than Christmas.

Al presents him with the gift.

VINCE:

(coy)

For me?

AL:

Carla and I figured, since you

were always admiring mine, what

the hell...

Vince struggles to contain his delight at this irony.

VINCE:

A lighter, just like yours. I

don't know what to say, Al. I'm

all choked up.

The PHONE RINGS and Carla picks it up.

CARLA:

(into phone)

Hello -- the Greco residence...

sure. Who may I say is calling...

Mr. Burt Klane? Vince, it's for

you --

Vince confidently picks up the receiver.

VINCE:

(into phone)

Good morning, Mr. Klane. I hope

you're having a wonderful --

(cut off)

Yes -- no problem -- I have it.

Yes. Today. Of course. 'Bye.

Vince hangs up.

AL:

What are you doing talking to a

loanshark?

VINCE:

(excited)

That's part of my good news --

You know that money I picked up

from the Jaguar we boosted. Well, *

I put the money in the stock *

market. I got this incredible *

tip. *

*

CARLA:

Oh no. *

VINCE:

I can't lose. Ever hear of P.V.T. *

Industries? Probably not -- *

Secret takeover bid --

AL:

You put the money on a stock? *

VINCE:

A very special stock -- and it was

such a sure thing -- I borrowed

another 20 grand from the Klane *

Brothers.

CARLA:

(unbelieving)

You borrowed from a loan shark to

invest in the stock market?

VINCE:

On margin -- And as of last night

I was ten thousand ahead. I'm *

going to make a fortune -- turn on

the T.V.
