:F0930 (F) /h2/ /en8/ TIME CODE: 09:30 WAITPERSON joins JACK in the area. JACK Got to talk to you, man. We got to be real careful. WAITPERSON What're you talking about? JACK You know who's here? Angelo DiMarco. That name mean anything to you? WAITPERSON Not really. JACK Mr. Kingpin, Mr. Mainman who'd just love to find out he's got some competition in an area he considers his own private kingdom. Can you dig it? He thinks he's gonna scare me into kissing his ass but no way that's happening, man. But we got to keep cool, I don't want to make it easy for him. WAITPERSON What's he doing here? JACK Trying to catch me in the act, I assume. We'll have our showdown, but by my rules, not his. WAITPERSON Listen, maybe this is something you should handle alone. JACK Don't panic: We just got to be careful. WAITPERSON I was planning to talk to you anyway -- I'm done, man. JACK What's that supposed to mean? WAITPERSON I want to give you the stash right now. I don't want anything more to do with it. JACK You can't do that. WAITPERSON I'm doing it. JACK What's the big deal? DiMarco's nothing, man, we just got to be a little careful. I'll pick it up tomorrow, same plan as ever. WAITPERSON I want to give it to you now. JACK DiMarco knows me, man, and he's already on to something, you know, like the only reason he's here is to see what I'm up to. Last thing I want is dope on me. WAITPERSON You're sure he's not here for the wedding? JACK He could care less about the wedding. He doesn't even know Trudy. WAITPERSON How's he know you? JACK I used to do business with this guy, Polo, who worked for him. He thinks I burned Polo and got into business for myself. He's here to see for himself. I have to stay clean. WAITPERSON I can't leave it in the building, I can't take the chance. And I've already done more than I wanted to. JACK Just take it home with you, we'll connect tomorrow afternoon sometime. WAITPERSON Why do I have to take all the risks? I've already done more than my share. You think it was easy in Astoria, tourists all over hell, trying to figure out who the dude with the stash was, and then figuring out where to hide it once he made the transfer? It was a million deaths, it's been like that every time, I get so goddamn nervous. It isn't worth it. This is the last time, man. I go to the coast for the pickup, I hide it here and take all the risks. You do shit. JACK Fine. Take it home with you tonight, it's the last time. WAITPERSON You take it home. JACK Brad/Brenda, I explained to you-- WAITPERSON I'm not taking all the risk any more. JACK Angelo doesn't know you, there's no risk. WAITPERSON My boss does, and he's already suspicious. JACK How can he suspect anything? WAITPERSON He does, is all. I just have this feeling. I wait til the wedding's over, I'll go nuts, I'm already going nuts. I got to give it to you right now. It's your gig, not mine. JACK Can you get it and put it somewhere else? Someplace near the exit, where I can grab it on the way out? WAITPERSON Where? You see any way to get privacy around here? I'm already nervous about where I put it. JACK So where does that leave us? WAITPERSON We can dump it in a trash bin and forget it. JACK Are you crazy? WAITPERSON Hey, if neither of us-- JACK You can take it home, goddamn it. No one suspects you. WAITPERSON What am I going to do, get it now and carry it around all evening? I swear, think my boss suspects, I think he's nosing around, snooping, trying to find it. JACK Man, that's paranoia. WAITPERSON That's easy for you to say. JACK Brad/Brenda, I let you in on a good thing-- WAITPERSON Maybe not as good as I thought. JACK You got problems at home, you told me, you got sick parents and lots of doctor bills, so I give you a chance to make some easy money, I-- WAITPERSON Hey, who's doing who a favor? You said you were being watched, you needed someone else to deal with the pickup from the coast. Help me out, old college classmate, old friend. JACK You're getting paid well. WAITPERSON But the risk isn't worth it any longer. JACK You can't let me down like this, man. WAITPERSON I'm sorry, Jack. I got to watch out for number one. Just like you. JACK There's got to be a way. WAITPERSON I can't think of one. JACK If it's too dangerous where it is, where your boss may find it, how about moving it? Put it where you can get it later. WAITPERSON Why don't I give it to you right now and you do that? JACK Because goddamn Angelo is on my case! I know he suspects something. WAITPERSON So we're back where we started. JACK How about planting it on someone that leaves the building. Something you can get to later. With the dirty dishes, or food, or something. Get it out of the building but keep it on the grounds. WAITPERSON Like what? JACK I don't know. Aren't there supplies or something that go out of the building when the wedding's over? WAITPERSON Sure. JACK Something you can get to later. WAITPERSON Why's it always me, me, me? I don't see you taking much risk, old buddy. JACK Jesus, if you knew how close my ass was to grass . . . WAITPERSON Doesn't move me. JACK Look, goddamn it, I gave you the chance of a lifetime! WAITPERSON You didn't say it'd be dangerous! JACK It's not, if you cooperate! WAITPERSON Not for you, maybe! They stop, at a standoff. JACK Okay, okay. Can you put it with something that goes off the premises, where I can get to it later? WAITPERSON Everything going off the floor gets locked up in one storeroom or other. JACK How about giving me a key, asshole? WAITPERSON I don't have all the keys, man. JACK Somewhere where you have a goddamn key! Do I have to do all the thinking around here? WAITPERSON It's your game. You understand me? As far as I'm concerned, my role here is finito, the end, over and out, good buddy. Because this isn't exactly what-- Jack is suddenly aware that Angelo is headed their way. JACK Shut up! That's him coming. They stop, nervously, as Angelo enters the area. /en13/ TIME CODE: 13:00 ?"Continue" ?"Bookmark" ?"Exit" :"Continue" Continue
