FOLEY:

I appreciate the offer. And it's

tempting.

Foley looks off towards the visitors' parking area, the fence

not twenty yards away.

FOLEY (CONT'D)

But, man, it's a long run to

civilization. A hundred miles to Miami?

I'm too old to start acting crazy, try

a stunt like that. You make it out,

send me a postcard.

CUT TO:
A NOTEPAD

where we see someone has written "IT'S MAGIC!" then crossed out

the "IT'S" and replaced it with the word "LIKE". We hear THE

PHONE RING AND...

REVEAL:
INT. ADELE'S APARTMENT - DAY

Miami Beach Moderne. ADELE -- mid-thirties, pretty, Foley's ex --

sits at her kitchen table writing on a pad. She grabs the phone.

ADELE:

Hello?

(then, sighs)

Yeah, I accept.

INT. PRISON HALLWAY - DAY

Foley on the phone...

FOLEY'S VOICE

Hey, Adele, how you doing?

INTERCUTTING FOLEY & ADELE:

ADELE:

Hey, Bank Robber, want some advice?

Next time, leave the engine running.

FOLEY:

That's funny, Adele. How many more

times you gonna gimme that one?

ADELE:

Till it's not funny any more. What do

you want, Jack?

FOLEY:

You know that Super Bowl party? They

changed the date. It's on tonight,

eight-thirty.

ADELE:

Didn't you tell me one-time calls aren't

monitored?

FOLEY:

I said not as a rule.

ADELE:

So why don't you come right out and

tell me what you're talking about?

FOLEY:

Listen to Miss Smarty Mouth. Out there

in the free world.

ADELE:

What's free about it? I'm looking for

work.

FOLEY:

What happened to Mandrake the Magician?

ADELE:

Emil the Amazing. The bastard fired

me and hired another girl, a redhead.

I'm working on a new business card,

pass out to the cafes. How's this

sound--

FOLEY:

(cuts her off)

Listen, Adele, the reason I called,

that party is today instead of Sunday.

About eight-thirty, like only a few

hours from now. So you'll have to get

hold of Buddy, whatever he might be

doing...

ADELE:

And the one driving the other car?

FOLEY:

What're you talking about?

ADELE:

Well, seeing as you have so much luck

with cars, Buddy thought it might be

better to bring two. He got this guy

he says you know from Lompoc, Glenn

something.

FOLEY:

Glenn Michaels.

ADELE:

Yeah, that's him. Buddy says Glenn

thinks you guys are real cool.

FOLEY:

He did, huh. Well, tell Buddy I see

Glenn wearing his sunglasses I'll step

on 'em. I might not even take 'em off

first.

INT. RESTAURANT - DAY

As MARSHALL SISCO -- fifty -- slides a small wrapped box across

a table...

MARSHALL:

Happy birthday.

...to where KAREN SISCO -- twenty-eight, black suit, long hair,

a knockout -- sits. She picks up the box and shakes it.
