[TITLE UP - 11:30 A.M.] [INT. HENRY'S CAR - DAY] [WE SEE KAREN and HENRY in car when KAREN points out the window.] CUT TO: HELICOPTER HENRY: We're going to your mother's. CUT TO: KAREN'S MOTHER'S COVERED GARAGE AREA - DAY HENRY *V.O.*: Now I'm sure we're being tailed. My plan was to go to her mother's and unload the guns. Who needed them in the trunk with all this heat? CUT TO: HENRY putting the guns into garbage cans. HENRY *to Karen*: Go inside. Tell her not to touch anything outside the house. Nothing. CUT TO: KAREN AND HENRY looking up at helicopter. HENRY: Let's go shopping. [EXT. LONG ISLAND SHOPPING MALL - DAY] [CLOSE UP OF HENRY ON PHONE] [Nearby WE SEE KAREN standing outside of their parked car. In BG, WE SEE a large, busy shopping mall with cars and SHOPPERS.] [TITLE UP - 12:30 P.M.] CUT TO: MALL PHONE BOOTH HENRY: I'm not nuts. It's been following me all f**ing morning. I mean it. [WE SEE HENRY slam down the phone. DOLLY INTO FACE HENRY *to Karen*: They think I'm paranoid. The dumb f**s. I should bring them the helicopter, then we'll see how paranoid I am. [TITLE UP - 1:30 P.M.] CUT TO: MALL ENTRY [HENRY and KAREN peek out the mall door surrounded by PEOPLE with shopping carts and look into the sky for the helicopter. It is gone. He listens. No noise.] HENRY: Okay! Quick! Let's get back to your mother's. [EXT. KAREN'S MOTHER'S GARAGE AREA - DAY] [ANGLE ON HENRY getting guns out of garbage.] [TITLE UP - 3:30 P.M.] [INT. MOTEL APARTMENT - DAY] [WE SEE PITTSBURGH DEALER laughing as HENRY gives him the package of guns. A YOUNG MAN is also standing in the room.] DEALER: Didn't I tell you you were paranoid? See, Karen, didn't I tall him he was paranoid? KAREN *barely looking up and wandering toward kitchen*: I need some coffee. [DEALER puts his arm around HENRY and motions him toward the bedroom where they snort some coke and laugh. After snorting the coke, HE SEE the DEALER give HENRY a plastic package of h**n he has taken out of a paper bag on the dresser. HENRY casually puts it in his jacket pocket.] HENRY *V.O.*: My plan was I had to get home and get the package ready for Judy to take on her trip. Also, I had to get to Robin's house to give the package a whack with some quinine. Plus, I knew Robin was gonna get on my a**. Then I had the cooking to finish at home, and I had to get Judy ready for the trip. [Phone rings in bedroom. DEALER picks it up, listens a moment and offers it to HENRY.] DEALER *whispering so Karen cannot hear in next room*: It's Robin. HENRY *annoyed*: Yeah? [HENRY covers the mouthpiece.] HENRY *To dealer*: A pain in the a**. *into phone* I'll see you in about an hour. *pause* I can't. I got my brother home tonight. *pause* We'll talk about it later. Okay? [HENRY hangs up the phone, pauses and dials again.] [INT. HENRY'S KITCHEN - DAY] [Phone rings. WE SEE JUDY WICKS answer the phone. WE SEE MICHAEL is stirring the tomato sauce.] CUT TO: DEALER'S BEDROOM HENRY is on the phone. HENRY: You ready? CUT TO: HENRY'S KITCHEN JUDY: Yeah. CUT TO: DEALER'S BEDROOM HENRY: Tell Michael not to 1et the sauce stick. CUT TO: HENRY'S KITCHEN JODY *to Michael, who is still stirring*: Henry says don't let the sauce stick. MICHAEL: I'm stirring. HENRY *O.S.* *on phone*: You know what to do? JUDY *bored*: Yeah, yeah. CUT TO: DEALER'S BEDROOM HENRY: Now this is important. Make sure you leave the house when you make the call. You understand? Do you hear me? It's important. Call from an outside phone. I mean it. CUT TO: HENRY'S KITCHEN JUDY: Jesus! You must think I'm dumb. What are you bugging me for? I know what to do! HENRY *O.S.* *on phone*: Just make sure you do it. You know what I mean? JUDY: Jesus Christ! You can be such a pain. HENRY: Just do what I say! Judy Okay. [WE SEE JUDY hang up the kitchen wall phone.] MICHAEL *still stirring*: What'd he say? JUDY: Nothing. [JUDY WICKS takes a puff on her cigarette and starts to fish around in the bottom of her pocketbook which is on the kitchen counter near the wall phone.] [WE SEE JUDY WICKS take out an airline ticket.] HENRY *V.O.*: So, what does she do after she hangs up with me? After everything I had told her? After all her yeah, yeah, yeah, bullsh**? She picks up the phone and calls from the house. Now, if anybody was listening, they'd know everything. They'd know that a package was leaving from my house and they'd even have the time and the flight number. Thanks to her. [JUDY WICKS reaches for the kitchen phone and dials.] [TITLE UP - 6:30 P.M.] [INT. HENRY'S HOUSE - EVENING] [HENRY is working in the kitchen.] HENRY *V.O.*: As soon as I got home, I started cooking. I had a few hours until Judy's flight. I told my brother to keep an eye on the stove. All day long, the poor guy's been watching helicopters and tomato sauce. I had to drive over to Robin's place, mix it once and get back to the gravy. [INT. ROBIN'S HOUSE - EVENING] [HE SEE HENRY watching ROBIN mix the half-kilo of h**n with milk sugar, doubling the amount. There is silence between them. HENRY looks at his watch. ROBIN pauses for a moment and sniffs a line of coke she has cut on a mirror near the table.] [HENRY snorts some coke, too. The table and room is a mess. Mixing bowls, scales, and sieves are strewn around the room.] ROBIN *getting angrier while mixing*: I don't need this... You said tonight and now it's not tonight... HENRY *watching the dope being mixed while stroking Robin's neck and shoulders*: It's okay. I'll make it up. I promise. Just hurry it up a little. Okay? ROBIN *finishing the package with tape, and almost purring*: Okay? [WE SEE HENRY grab the two half-kilo packages off the table and start for the door. ROBIN is startled.] ROBIN *shrieking*: You ba*tard! Where are you going? [WE SEE HENRY get out the door just before ROBIN throws the scale at it.] [TITLE UP - 8:30 P.M.] [INT. HENRY'S DINING ROOM - NIGHT] [After dinner. EVERYONE is feeling very expansive. JUDY and HENRY have left the table and are standing in the kitchen.] JUDY *to Henry*: I gotta go home. HENRY: What for? I got a pound of stuff in my jacket I've been carrying around all day. We gotta start taping it to your leg. JUDY: I gotta go home and get my hat. ENRY: Forget your f**ing hat. What are you, kidding me? Just what I need now is a trip to Rockaway. Just because you want your hat. JUDY: I need it. I gotta have it. It's my lucky hat. I never fly without it. HENRY: Do you realize what we're involved in here now? JUDY: I don't care. I need my hat. I won't go without it. HENRY *V.O.*: What could I do? If she insisted, I had to drive her home for her goddamn hat. I threw the package in the kitchen and went to take her hone. CUT TO: HENRY nodding to KAREN that the h**n is in the kitchen.
