Dumb and Dumber Page #3

He pulls the car into a HANDICAPPED SPOT and hops out. He starts to run into the terminal,

then notices the Police Officer and suddenly goes into a spastic walk, limping and dragging him leg

behind him like a palsy victim.

INT. AIRPORT TERMINAL

The Armani Man nods to the Plaid Sportcoat and he starts to approach the briefcase. Just as Plaid

Sportcoat is reaching for the handle, LLOYD RUNS BY AND GRABS IT. He CONTINUES UP

THE ESCALATOR three steps at a time. The two men look at each other, dumbstruck.

INT. AIRPORT TERMINAL - BOARDING GATE

Lloyd runs with the briefcase to the TV monitors that post the departure times. He looks

frantically at the confusion of numbers.

LLOYD:

Damn!

QUICK CUT of a dejected Lloyd looking out the window as he watches as Mary's airplane taxiing

away.

EXT. AIRPORT TERMINAL - DAY

Lloyd comes out with the briefcase, passing the two men, who FOLLOW HIM AT A

DISTANCE. He starts walking down the sidewalk when suddenly he STOPS IN HIS TRACKS.

HIS POV - his limo is being towed away � under the supervision of the Police Officer.

He takes off after it, but to no avail.

LLOYD:

You can't do this! I'll lose my job!

As Lloyd watches the limo get towed out of site, he runs his fingers through his hair.

CUT TO:

EXT. APARTMENT BUILDING - AFTERNOON

We see the Mutt Cuts van pull up and park at the curb. A dejected Harry climbs out. At the same

time, a taxi pulls up and drops off Lloyd. (He's clutching Mary Swanson's briefcase.) Both he and

Harry climb the steps of the building. They disappear inside without acknowledging each other.

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET - a black Cadillac pulls up and parks. Inside are the

Armani suit and the Sportcoat. They are J.P. SHAY and JOSEPH MENTALINO (aka JOE

MENTAL).

MENTAL:

Who the hell do you figure this guy's

working for?

SHAY:

I don't know, but we'd better find

out�

Mental takes some PILLS and starts CHOMPING them.

SHAY (CONT.)

Your ulcer?

MENTAL:

It ain't gonna kill me.

INT. APARTMENT CORRIDOR

Lloyd and Harry trudge up the stairs and proceed silently toward the door of their apartment.

INT. APARTMENT - LIVING ROOM

Lloyd and Harry ENTER and pass each other quietly as they both plunk down in their favorite

easy chairs. (Lloyd still has the briefcase in his lap.) Harry's caged parakeet, PETEY, tweets hello,

but the two guys just sit there SILENTLY.

The place is a mess. Wallpaper's peeling off the walls. The carpet is threadbare and filthy. In the

corner we see a miniature WORM FARM and a large terrarium filled with dirt and worms. Here

are a couple pieces of haggard furniture with stuffing spilling out of the gashes.

HARRY:

I got fired again.
