A28 EXT. AIRPORT PARKING STRUCTURE - ESTABLISHING - DAY A28

CUT TO:

B28 INT. AIRPORT PARKING STRUCTURE - DAY B28

CLOSEUP ON a large painted number 25 then PAN DOWN to

reveal a new BMW.

Vincent approaches the BMW and pretends to be searching

for his keys while he waits for another car to pull out

and drive away. The second it's gone, Vince deftly opens

the BMW door with a "slim-Jim." He gets behind the wheel,

hot wires the ignition and drives away. Vince is a pro.

C28 INT. BODY SHOP - DAY C28

The green BMW is already being repainted by some Men

wearing goggles and using spray guns. Vince comes out of

an office, counting a wad of bills, followed by the OWNER

of the chop shop.

VINCE:

This is only four thousand --

OWNER:

We're in a recession --

Everything's tough -- you want to

try someone else -- no hard

feelings.

VINCE:

(sourly)

Forget it.

OWNER:

You okay, Vince? You seem a

little worried.

VINCE:

Me? I laugh myself to sleep every

night, and I never sleep alone.

I'm doing great!

The Owner smiles and turns. Vince continues counting the

money, nervous as hell. Now --

28 EXT. AIRPLANE - DAY 28

Flying through clear, blue skies.

29 INT. AIRPLANE - ON STEWARDESS 29

Coming down the aisle, checking the passengers, as we

hear:

JULIUS (V.O.)

(singing)

'Put on your red dress, baby

'Cause we're going out tonight...'

A few passengers turn and look back at --

JULIUS:

seated in the rear, still in his peasant garb, the bamboo

suitcase resting on his lap. He has his headphones on

and is singing along to the music, his eyes closed and

his head bobbing.

JULIUS:

(singing)

'I better wear some boxing gloves,

In case some fool might want to

fight.'

The STEWARDESS removes his headphones and considers

Julius with amusement.

STEWARDESS:

I knew you were trouble the second

I laid eyes on you.

Julius stares up at her, speechless and mesmerized.

JULIUS:

(realizing)

Sorry -- I've never heard this

music before -- I love it. *

She sighs, leans over him, fastens his seat belt, while

Julius gazes down at her ample cleavage.

STEWARDESS:

The captain wants us to buckle our

seat belts because we're expecting

a little turbulence.

JULIUS:

(reading her name

tag)

Thank you, Betty Lou.

(CONTINUED)

TWINS - Rev. 4/27/88 15. *

29 CONTINUED:

STEWARDESS:

I bet you're a football player.

JULIUS:

Actually, I'm a horticultural

botanist, a mathematician, and a

philosopher.

STEWARDESS:

Right. And I'm a brain surgeon.

As the Stewardess heads back up the aisle, a MAN jumps

up, grabs her around the neck with one arm and brandishes

a gun in his other hand.

HIJACKER (MAN)

(to passengers)

Nobody moves, or else we're gonna

have a serious draft in here.

(turns to another

stewardess)

Get the captain. I want to

discuss our final destination.

He continues maneuvering the Stewardess up the aisle.

His back is totally to Julius now.
