Reggie reaches his hand around in front of Johnnie - showing him a .45

Automatic.

DROP SHADOW:

Drop Shadow pulls the hammer back which makes a loud “click.”

JUANA:

Johnnie jumps as Drop Shadow blows a big hole in the far wall in front

of Johnnie.

Reggie reaches his hand around Johnnie’s face - tears off tape and gag -

then opens his hand and shows Johnnie a cufflink with a particular

design in turquoise, orange, and silver.

REGGIE:

gentlemen that gave this to me said

Johnnie starts to scream and violently try to move out of his chair.

We see a hole in the front of the barrel - BOOM!!!

The opposite wall and bottles get covered with blood. Juana and Reggie

race into each other’s arms and kiss right above Johnnie’s dead,

bloodied head.

JUANA:

F*** ME!!!!

CUT TO:

120. INT. THUNDERBIRD - TWO LANE TEXAS FARM ROAD - NIGHT

Lula and Sailor are driving through the dark desert.

LULA:

Sure is a big deal round here...

Alamo Road, Alamo Street, Alamo Square,

Alamo Buildin’, Alamo Alamo. They ain’t

forgettin’ about it in a hurry. That’s

the thing ’bout memory? Some things

you wish you could forget... What’s

troublin’ you, sugar?

SAILOR:

You know, Lula, I never told you

what all I was doin’ before I met you.

LULA:

I just figured you was out bein’

Mr. Cool...

SAILOR:

Not exactly, sugar... One reason

we’re in all the trouble we’re in

right now is cause of what I was

doin’... I tried to tell you this

before...

LULA:

You’re scarin’ me, baby.

SAILOR:

Well, there’s a good side as well as

a bad side to it... The good side

is I knew your daddy, and I thought

Clyde was a good ol’ guy...

LULA:

You knew my daddy?

SAILOR:

Yes I did... I sure did... The bad

side of it is I did some drivin’

for a man named Marcello Santos...

LULA:

Oh sh*t...

SAILOR:

I quit workin’ for ’im, but just

before I did, I ended up one night at

a house... I don’t know what it is

they all think I saw that night, but

I was just sittin’ out in the car

till the whole place went up in flames.

LULA:

God, Sailor... That’s the night my

daddy died.

SAILOR:

I know, sugar... But while the place

was burnin’... Before Santos came

out - I pitched some rocks at the

second floor windows case anyone was

upstairs sleepin’... Afterwards...

When I met you, I always liked to

think I mighta saved your life.

LULA:

That’s some big secret you been

carryin’, Sailor.

SAILOR:

We all got a secret side, baby. Hope

you don’t think I been lyin’ to you

’bout other things, sugar.

LULA:

How’d you know my daddy?

SAIL0R

Met him through Santos... Clyde -

your daddy - had some sorta business

deal with Santos.

Lula stays quiet for a moment - listening to the heavy hum of the V-8.

SAILOR:

Lula, you there?

LULA:

Yeah, I’m here.

SAILOR:

You upset with me?

LULA:

No, Sailor darlin’. Just shockin’

sometimes when things aren’t the

way you thought they were... I been

carryin’ a secret too...

CUT TO:

121. INT. FORTUNE HOUSE - LIVINGROOM/UPSTAIRS HALLWAY/BEDROOM - NIGHT

The livingroom is on fire.

The livingroom is on fire and we move upstairs - Lula races through the

smoke-filled hallway to her mother’s bedroom.

The livingroom is on fire and Lula throws open the door to her mother’s

bedroom just in time to see Marcello Santos leaving through a window.

Her mother laughs a wild, crazy laugh - exactly the same laugh Lula

heard on the porch of the Cape Fear Hotel.

LULA:

(voice-over)

That night in the fire while my

daddy was dyin’... I saw mama up

in her room with Santos...

CUT TO:

122. INT. THUNDERBIRD - TWO LANE TEXAS FARM ROAD - NIGHT

LULA:

...They was laughin’ arm in arm

like animals.

SAILOR:

I didn’t want to say it ... but I

had a feelin’ Santos was up to

somethin’ with your mama...

LULA:

(quietly)

My mama...

(after a pause - she smiles)

So Sailor, our histories have been

somewhat intertwined.
