36 INT. BAR - DAY 36

A man enters. He starts looking around, checking the

booths. He looks like a professional enforcer, which in

fact, he is. He is also the smallest of the Klane

brothers:
BURT KLANE.

Vince ducks down under the table.

VINCE:

(whispers)

It's the baby Klane -- I gotta

get the hell out.

Burt Klane strolls to the middle of the room, then suddenly

turns and faces Linda.

BURT KLANE:

Where's the little sh*t?

LINDA:

(very nervous)

You gotta be more specific,

considering our clientele.

BURT KLANE:

Benedict.

LINDA:

(laughs)

He wouldn't show his face around

here. Right, Marnie?

She looks down at --

VINCE:

He silently starts to crawl away in the direction of the

back door.

MARNIE:

(enjoying calling

him names)

Who, Vincent? *

MARNIE (CONT'D)

-- That weasel, that creep -- that

oily little slug -- that two-bit,

two-timing, waste of space -- that

pathetic, low-life pocket Romeo.

BURT KLANE:

(cutting her off)

Okay -- enough.

CUT TO:

A37 EXT. BAR - BACK DOOR - DAY A37

The back door opens and Vince crawls out on hands and

knees. His journey abruptly ends as he now faces KLANE

#2 -- BOB -- considerably larger than his brother inside.

B37 INT. BAR - DAY B37

Vince is thrown in, forcefully, into a table. He crashes

onto the floor.

BOB KLANE:

Look what I found crawling around

out back.

CUT TO:

C37 INT. BAR - DAY (LATER) C37

A booth at the back of the restaurant: Vince is seated

with the two Klane brothers. He hands over the money he

picked up from the BMW -- $4000. The smaller Klane counts

it quickly.

BURT KLANE:

This is only four thousand --

VINCE:

The rest is invested. We're gonna

make a fortune.

Bob suddenly punches Vince in the side knocking the breath

out of him.

BOB KLANE:

(ominous)

Shut up.

(CONTINUED)

C37 CONTINUED:
C37

Linda comes over -- Very nervous, she looks around, then

hands over an envelope.

LINDA:

I hope this helps -- Please don't

hurt him.

BURT KLANE:

There you go --

(he counts Linda's

money)

-- Another thousand -- Okay -- This

nice lady just bought you a day

Vince -- I want it all -- Twenty-

thousand -- this time tomorrow. *

VINCE:

Twenty -- ? But I just paid --

Just as he opens his mouth, Vince is elbowed again.

BURT KLANE:

That's just the interest. The *

twenty's the principal. *

37 INT. BAR - NEAR DOOR - DAY (LITTLE LATER) 37

Linda is walking Vince out.

VINCE:

That was the most wonderful

birthday present anybody ever gave

me --

LINDA:

It's your birthday? Why didn't

you tell me?

VINCE:

(suddenly honest)

I can't take the kindness. It

gives me the shakes.

LINDA:

You'll tremble plenty before we're

through, Vince Benedict.

They kiss.

A38 EXT. GRAUMAN'S CHINESE THEATRE - MAGIC HOUR A38

Vince brushes himself off, hesitates a moment, pulling on

his left ear with his right hand.

Immediately behind him, facing the opposite direction, is

another man, also pulling on his left ear with his right

hand. It is Julius --

-- Their backs are to each other. Without ever catching

sight of one another, they move off, going their separate

ways. Now, from this --

CUT TO:

38 EXT. DOWNTOWN HOLLYWOOD STREET - NIGHT 38

Downtown Hollywood in all it's sleeze. There's a wax

museum and a scientology center and every fast food place

imaginable and people shouting as they sell things,

"flowers" and street food and there's a porno house *

showing Tight 'n Tender and there's young people dressed

like punks and old people boozed out and pimps and

druggies and guys slumped unconscious in the gutter and

crowds of tourists walking this way, that way, and there's

noise and litter and one more thing --

-- There's Julius, case in hand, staring around, taking it

all in. We're a long way from his island now. He studies

all the humanity swirling around him --
