2 Days in the Valley Page #3

Synopsis: John Herzfeld deftly welds together a multitude of subplots-- a loser hitman and a cool assassin involved in an insurance scam; a washed-up director, turned suicidal, if only he had someone to care for his beloved dog; a snooty art dealer, wracked by kidney stones, cared for by his devoted assistant; a grungy deranged vice cop, now partnered with a fresh-faced rookie; and two beautiful and jealous women entangled in their deadly scheme--into a spoof of the crime thriller genre.

or in Culver City or Santa Monica,

but this one's right in the Valley...

and there are gonna be

no massage parlors in the Valley!

I was born two miles from here.

I own a house in Studio City.

This is a nice place to live.

I would like to keep it that way.

That f***in' place

opened four weeks ago...

and it ain't gonna operate

a day after today.

Does that answer your question?

Good.

I thought this was a thing

out of New York.

I thought this was a bad guy

who welched on a bet.

What was all this sh*t

about Koreans and spies?

You know,

curiosity killed the cat.

You're a real pisser,

aren't you?

You like f***ing with people's heads?

How did you find me?

In the phone book

under "Washout."

You know about that.

Look, I'm grateful

for a chance at a...

at a comeback.

To tell you the truth, you know

what I was doing when you called?

Flipping pizzas at Polly's.

Who the f*** are you?

How come you know so much about me?

I know more about you than

you know about yourself, "Dumbo."

My name is Dosmo.

Dosmo Pizzo.

What do you know about me

that I don't know?

This is where you get out.

Have a little coke.

All done, honey?

- What a buffoon.

- Roy?

Dumbo, the pizza man.

Roy's dead, right?

You killed him?

- Why, you gonna miss him?

- Of course not.

You didn't enjoy yourself

with him?

We have to get out of here.

You definitely didn't sleep

with Roy?

We're not going

through this again.

What exactly did you do?

We kissed, necked. That's all.

- He didn't touch your breasts?

- No.

I'm just telling you, if I found out

you were lying, I'd go crazy.

Don't go crazy, okay?

Now let's just go.

I can walk by myself!

- Let me help.

- I don't need it, all right?

I'm not a cripple.

I'm just sore.

Hot and sore.

It must be 110 f***ing degrees!

What happened up there?

A car fire. Some kids

blew up a car up there, I think.

Oh, sh*t.

A f***ing dog!

A dog! F***!

Do you have to follow

a special diet now too?

Yep.

No more dairy products,

no red meat...

no milk, no nuts,

no coffee, no tea...

no chocolate.

- No sex.

- Are you kidding?

I've got to drink three gallons

of water a day.

I never want to be without

a glass of water in my hand.

I have to be constantly

pouring water down my throat.

Where's the only joy

of my life?

He was by the pool

when I left.

You fed him last night?

Flavored his food with bacon?

Yes.

- Good girl.

- Me or the dog?

The dog is a boy.

Oh, sh*t!

Sorry.

Open the door

and let the air in.

And let Mark in.

Call the hospital. Find the name of

the fag who gave his credit card for me.

I want to send him,

maybe, a Chagall lithograph.

That's very generous.
