BLACK MAN:
(desperate to Mottola)
How bout you? I'll give you the
whole hundred!
STRANGER:
What makes you think you can trust
him? He didn't do sh*t.
MOTTOLA:
Hey, butt out, chicken liver. I
gave him back his wallet, didn't I?
(to black man)
How far is this place?
BLACK MAN:
1811 Mason. Put it in Box 3C. You
won't have no trouble. There's
five thousand dollars there and
here's a hundred for you.
MOTTOLA:
(taking the bundle of
bills from the black
man, plus the $100 bill)
All right. I'll make your drop for
you, old man. And don't worry, you
can trust me.
Mottola puts the bills in his inside coat pocket, right next
to the numbers money. The stranger, who has now finished
bandaging, watches him do it.
STRANGER:
If that punk and his pals decide to
search ya, you'll never fool 'em
carryin' it there.
BLACK MAN:
(suddenly afraid again)
What do we do?
STRANGER:
You got a bag or somethin?
BLACK MAN:
No.
STRANGER:
How 'bout a handkerchief?
BLACK MAN:
Here.
The stranger goes into the right coat pocket and pulls out a
wrinkled handkerchief.
STRANGER:
Let me have the money.
Mottola takes out the Black Man's five grand and hands it to
the Stranger. He puts it in the handkerchief.
STRANGER:
You better stick that other in here
too, if you wanta keep it.
BLACK MAN:
(pleading)
Just hurry, will ya.
Mottola pulls out the numbers money and puts it in the
handkerchief too. The stranger ties it all up.
STRANGER:
(demonstrating by
slipping the bundle
down into crotch)
All right. Carry it down in your
pants here.
(pulling it back out
and tucking it in
Mottola's pants)
Ain't no hard guy in the world
gonna frisk ya there.
MOTTOLA:
Thanks.
(to the black man)
So long, partner. Don't worry,
everything's gonna be all right.
The Black Man nods gratefully, but there's still a trace of
worry on his face. Mottola trots off down the alley and out
onto the street, glancing around cautiously for signs of
trouble. He walks hurriedly down the sidewalk toward the
cab stand in the distance. Suddenly the little man with the
knife appears out of a doorway about 15 yards behind him.
Mottola notices him and quickens his pace, finally breaking
into a dead run.
We follow him as he dashes headlong down the street, opening
a big lead on the guy with the knife. He reaches the taxi
zone. He hops in a cab and slams the door.
INT. TAXI - DAY
He jumps in, closes the door, and breathes a sigh of relief.
CABBIE:
Where to?
MOTTOLA:
Which way is Mason?
CABBIE:
About 20 blocks south.
MOTTOLA:
Okay, go north. The Joliet
Station -- Fast.
Mottola settles back in his seat and starts to laugh.
CABBIE:
What's so funny?
