WE SEE her reach next to the refrigerator and pull up a

couple of oil paintings she props on the edge of the table.

MOTHER (CONTD)

(proudly)

They want me to do a portrait next.

I'm gonna do the Moan Lisa.

CUT TO:

WINDOW:

where WE SEE HENRY 's car with the body in the trunk, still

parked at the curb.

INT. HENRY'S CAR - NIGHT

Finally on their way, HENRY is driving. JIMMY, in the

passenger's seat, and TOMMY, in the rear seat, embracing

the shovel, are dozing off. The sleepy humming of the wheels

is suddenly interrupted by a thumping sound. At first,

HENRY thinks he has a flat, but the thumping is too

irregular. JIMMY awakens. His eyes are on HENRY. TOMMY

leans forward from the rear seat. Silence. Thump Silence.

EXT. MERRITT PARKWAY - NIGHT

Car pulls off the road onto the grass. HENRY, JIMMY and

TOMMY, still holding the shovel, get out of the car.

TOMMY:

Jesus Christ! Miserable bastard!

HENRY opens the trunk and steps back. In the trunk light

WE SEE the mattress cover squirming around. We hear muffled

groans.

TOMMY:

(raising the shovel)

Can you believe this no-good f***?

The prick! He's still alive.

TOMMY suddenly smashes the shovel into the moving, bloody

mattress cover. He smashes it again and again and again.

Cursing BATTS with every swing.

TOMMY:

Rat bastard.

(he swings shovel)

No-good, low-life f***.

TOMMY swings shovel again and again.

Soon the mattress cover stops squirming and TOMMY stops

swinging the shovel. He is exhausted. TOMMY and JIMMY get

back in the car. HENRY is facing the open trunk.

TILT UP and FREEZE ON HENRY'S face slamming the trunk shut.
