SCAGNETTI (O.S.)

Why?

McClusky's still walking ahead of us.

MCCLUSKY:

Because they wouldn't give them

their blessing for marriage.

SCAGNETTI (O.S.)

Ain't love grand?

McClusky laughs.

(CONTINUED)

12.

CONTINUED:

MCCLUSKY:

Ain't love grand. That's a good

one.

Still SCAGNETTI'S POV: We look DOWN FROM McClusky TO

Mallory's file in our hands. It contains her picture

and lists her color of hair, color of eyes, height,

weight, race, etc. Beneath that is a column which reads:

PSYCHIATRIC REMARKS.

As we read the remarks, we hear a doctor's voice read

aloud.

FEMALE PSYCHIATRIST (V.O.)

When pressed about the reason for

the murders... patient became

hostile...

INT. PSYCHIATRIST'S OFFICE -DAY

Looking trashy, wild, and animalistic, Mallory's a sex

machine dressed in a prison gown. She sits in a chair,

looking directly AT the CAMERA.

MALLORY:

I don't owe you a explanation! I

don't owe you sh*t! I'm not here

for your entertainment. If I don't

tell you what you wanna hear, what

are you gonna do? Throw me in

jail? I'm already there, you

stupid pigfucker. You gonna give

me some more time? I've already

got life. What else you got to

threaten me with? Death? I'd

like to see you f***in' try. I

haven't met one motherf***er here

who's shown me sh*t.

INT. DEATH ROW CORRIDOR

Still on SCAGNETTI'S POV:

We look UP FROM the file and SEE McClusky's leaning

against a cell door.

We hear somebody singing "LONG TIME WOMAN" inside the

cell.

We MOVE TO McClusky, who, looking INTO the CAMERA,

gestures toward the cell.

(CONTINUED)

13.

CONTINUED:

MCCLUSKY:

Here she is... you know her, you

love her, you can't live without

her... Mallory Knox.

We PAN FROM McClusky TO the inside of the cell where we

see Mallory, her BACK TO us, singing and dancing.

INT. PRISON -MALLORY KNOX'S CELL -DAY

CLOSE ON Mallory's face singing "Long Time Woman."

MALLORY:

(singing)

'99 years is a long, long time.

Look at me, I will never be free,

I'm a long time woman...'

MCCLUSKY (O.S.)

Hey, Knox! Somebody out here

wants to meet you.

Mallory justs keeps on truckin'.

MALLORY:

(singing)

'Been workin' on the road now.

Been workin' by the sea.

Been workin' in the cane fields,

and I wanna be free...'

MALLORY'S POV

We stare at McClusky and Scagnetti for a second. Then,

like a bull, we charge/DOLLY STRAIGHT AT them. MALLORY

SCREAMS O.S. We SMASH headfirst INTO the bars. Mallory's

POV FLINGS UP, looking AT the ceiling, then FALLS BACKWARD.

MED. TIGHT SHOT -FLOOR

Mallory falls INTO FRAME, out cold.

CLOSE ON SCAGNETTI
