American Madness Page #4

CHARLIE:

Yeah.

MATT:

Let me have ten bucks?

CHARLIE:

(aghast)

Ten bucks? Say, if I had ten bucks,

I'd quit.

MATT:

Charlie!

CHARLIE:

Yeah?

Charlie starts out. Matt follows him.

13. OUTSIDE OF VAULT - MED. CLOSE SHOT

As Charlie comes out, followed by Matt. CAMERA TRUCKS ALONG

WITH THEM as they walk.

MATT:

(as they walk)

I'll pay it back to you Saturday -

on the level I will. Give a guy a

break, will you? I've got to get

it back in my account. If Helen

ever finds out that I—

CHARLIE:

(unsympathetically)

Baby, I can't give you anything

but love...

LAP DISSOLVE TO:

INT. MAIN FLOOR OF BANK - BACKSTAGE

CAMERA TRUCKS with them as Charlie pushes his truck forward

and Matt walks alongside of him. En route, CAMERA TAKES IN

ATMOSPHERIC SHOTS of the general activity backstage of the

bank.

Male and female clerks stand around at various angles,

checking away at adding machines. Several are assisted by

someone who calls off figures to them as they record it on

machines. We hear these figures read in a monotone as we

pass them.

Matt is still trying to pry the ten dollars loose from

Charlie.

MATT:

Now listen Charlie. I'll give you

an I.O.U. I'll give you a note,

I'll pay your mortgage, it's a

matter of life and death—

Ad-lib conversations from the other clerks distract his

attention.

CHARLIE:

Whose death?

MATT:

It'll be yours if you don't kick

in with that ten bucks.
