JULIUS:

turns to the terrified elderly woman beside him who's

clutching a hardcover Bible in her lap.

JULIUS:

(whispers)

Excuse me, ma'am.

As he takes the book from her, quickly draws back his

arm --

CUT TO:

HIGHJACKER:

The gun at the panicked Stewardess's head, he continues

slowly up the aisle, shouting for everyone to freeze, not

even to think about moving --

-- now a hardcover book comes rocketing through the air,

hits him in the back of the neck and he goes limp, fall-

ing across some seats, the gun dropping from his hand.

BUNCH OF PASSENGERS

grabbing him, all of them brave and heroic -- a lot of

commotion -- shouts of "I've got him," "Don't move," etc.

CUT TO:

HAND:

retrieving the hardcover Bible from the floor and --

CUT TO:

OLD WOMAN:

as Julius smiles reassuringly, returns her Bible to her,

sits back in his seat.

JULIUS:

(gently; calming her)

His mischief shall return upon his

own hand, and his violent dealing

shall come down upon his own head

-- Psalm 7:
16.

In front now, there is a lot of activity as various pass-

engers hold the Highjacker, almost arguing over who's in

control. Julius looks at them a moment, puts on his

headset, closes his eyes and is soon bopping away to the

music.

CUT TO:

30 EXT. LAX - FROM SKY 30

As the plane circles to land.

CUT TO:

31 OMITTED 31

32 EXT. LAX TERMINAL - LATE AFTERNOON 32

Julius exits the terminal surrounded by Orientals. He

makes his way to an airport shuttle bus.

33 EXT. HOLLYWOOD STREET - BAR - DAY 33

TWINS - Rev. 5/2/88 17.

34 INT. BAR - DAY 34

As Vince sidles into a booth, watched by a BARTENDER who

clearly dislikes him.

BARTENDER:

It's him. He's back.

A pretty young cocktail waitress called MARNIE turns and

stares daggers at Vince. Marnie is a fireball of a girl,

all brass and sass on the outside and sweet as cotton

candy on the inside, sort of a Jean Harlow valley girl.

She approaches Vince, who greets her with effusive

warmth.

VINCE:

Marnie! How are you? Is your *

sister around? *

Marnie pointedly scoops up the tip left by the previous

occupants of the booth.

*

Marnie starts to wipe down the table, spilling crumbs into

his lap.

MARNIE:

You total Linda's car. You pawn *

her stereo. You declare us as *

dependents on your tax return!?

VINCE:

What an amazing memory --

FEMALE (O.S.)

Vince! I knew you'd come back!

Marnie's sister, LINDA, also a cocktail waitress, slips

into the booth and gives Vince a big kiss. Linda,

although just as attractive as her younger sister, has a

completely different personality: she's trusting,

dependent, and legally blind when it comes to Vincent.

VINCE:

(to Linda)

I am so sorry for all the

miserable things I've done to you.

LINDA:

Like what?

MARNIE:

Linda!

LINDA:

(to Marnie)

I'm not going to give him any

money. Just take care of my

station for a minute.

Marnie exchanges an exasperated glance with the Bartender

and walks away. Linda distances herself a little from

Vince in the booth, not meeting his eyes.

VINCE:

(emotionally)

I didn't come here for a loan,

sweetheart. I came to say

goodbye.

(beat) *

It's not safe for me here. People

are trying to kill me.

Vince starts to rise but Linda pulls him back down.

LINDA:

What did you do, Vince?

VINCE:

I got involved in the stock

market.

LINDA:

(getting nervous)

I promised Marnie I wouldn't give

you money.

Vince takes Linda's hand between his and stares into her

eyes.

LINDA:

Don't look at me like that...

Don't do that with your eyes... I

shouldn't even be here with you.

VINCE:

(softly)

You are here and so am I,

Maybe millions of people go by,

But they all disappear from view,

And I only have eyes for you...

Linda. I only have eyes for you.

LINDA:

(moved)

That is so beautiful. How do you

make up that stuff? You're such

a poet.

You inspire me.
