BIG D:

N*gger, get real. You touch Jayne Kennedy she'll have you ass in Wayne

County so fast -

DREXL:

N*gger, back off, you ain't beatin' sh*t. Now what would you do.

FLOYD:

I'd say f*** it!

Drexl and Big D get up from the table disgusted and walk away, leaving Floyd sitting all alone.

Big D sits on the bed, his back turned to Floyd, watching "Bewitched".

FLOYD:

(yelling after them)

Ain't no man have to eat p*ssy!

BIG D:

(not even looking)

Take that sh*t somewhere else.

DREXL:

(marching back)

You tell Jayne Kennedy to f*** it?

FLOYD:

If it came down to who eats who, damn skippy.

DREXL:

With that terrible mug of yours if Jayne Kennedy told you to eat her p*ssy,

kiss her ass, lick her feet, chow on her sh*t, and suck her dog's dick,

n*gger, you'd aim to please.

BIG D:

(glued on TV)

I'm hip.

DREXL:

In fact, I'm gonna show you what I mean with a little demonstration. Big D,

toss me that shotgun.

Without turning away from "Bewitched" he picks up the shotgun and tosses it to Drexl.

DREXL:

(to Floyd)

All right, check this out.

(referring to shotgun)

Now, pretend this is Jayne Kennedy. And you're you.

Then, in a blink, he points the shotgun at Floyd and blows him away.

Big D leaps off the bed and spins toward Drexl.

Drexl, waiting for him, fires from across the room.

The blast hits the big man in the right arm and shoulder, spinning him around.

Drexl makes a beeline for his victim and fires again.

Big D is hit with a blast, full in the back. He slams into the wall and drops.

Drexl collects the suitcase full of cocaine and leaves. As he gets to the front door he surveys the carnage, spits and walks out.

EXT. CLIFF'S MOVING CAR - MORNING

A big white Chevy Nova is driving down the road with a sunrise sky as a backdrop. The song "Little Bitty Tear" is heard a capella.

INT. CLIFF'S MOVING CAR - MORNING

Cliff Worley is driving his car home from work, singing this song gently to the sunrise. He's a forty-five-years-old ex-cop, at present a security guard. In between singing he takes sips from a cup of take-out coffee. He's dressed in a security guard uniform.
