And he is.
We PAN DOWN as one of the doors swing open briefly to reveal an automatic
pistol pointed into Dan's side.
We PAN UP to show the guy holding the pistol: a tough-looking, square-jawed
BURKE:
It's been a long chase, Dan.
DAN:
(never losing his cool)
Yes. What detained you?
Burke leans in to pat down his captive.
BURKE:
Never mind the wisecracks.
Dan catches a whiff of Burke's breath.
DAN:
Still on the garlic, huh?
Burke, insulted, backs off a little.
BURKE:
Well, nevertheless, it looks like
you're out of luck this time.
DAN:
(nods)
Apparently.
Dan desperately knocks the gun out of Burke's hand.
FLASH CUT:
of the gun hitting the pavement outside the saloon.
DAN AND BURKE:
struggle momentarily but Burke is the bigger man and Dan is no match for him
-- one punch in the jaw from Burke knocks him silly and drives him backwards.
EXT. SALOON AND STREET - CONTINUOUS
Burke easily pushes a stunned Dan into a nearby wall like a rag doll. Burke
handcuffs himself to Dan, then shakes his captive violently to wake him up.
BURKE:
Come on! Come out of it!
Dan regains consciousness, blinks at Burke, looks down at the cuffs unhappily,
and nods, reluctantly accepting the situation.
DAN:
Okay, you win.
BURKE:
I always win. If you try to pull
another break like that on me, I'll
deliver you in a basket. Let's go.
The two men pull their sleeves over the cuffs in a vain effort to look
inconspicuous as they start walking away from the saloon. While Dan casts a
brief, backward glance at the swinging doors, Burke stoops and retrieves his
pistol, pocketing it. As they walk leisurely down the street, various
passersby gawk and point at the two handcuffed men.
DAN:
Well, now what?
BURKE:
The boat. And then, uh, San Quentin.
DAN:
Can I get my clothes?
BURKE:
Oh, they're on the boat.
DAN:
Considerate.
BURKE:
Yeah.
DAN:
(rubs his sore jaw)
You know, I thought I ditched you
way back in Berlin.
BURKE:
When I left 'Frisco, the chief said
to me, "Steve, don't come back alone."
And he knew I wouldn't.
Burke abruptly stops and stares at something off screen. Dan, still walking
forward, is jerked back.
BURKE:
I'll be a son of a sea cow.
Dan and Burke watch as SKIPPY, a tipsy little American man in a straw boater
and bow tie, waits for a Chinese shop owner to turn his back. Skippy instantly
snatches an alarm clock from a display and smoothly hides it in his jacket.
But, just as instantly, the alarm clock goes off, ringing loudly. The Chinese
shop owner turns to look at Skippy who rolls his eyes in disgust, sighs, and
returns the clock to its proper place, giving it a light tap. It stops ringing
as Skippy staggers drunkenly out of the shop and encounters Dan and Burke.
