Blood and Wine Page #2

Synopsis: Bob Rafelson has stated that this is the final part of an informal trilogy he started with "Five Easy Pieces" and continued with "The King Of Marvin Gardens". In the three, Nicholson has now played son, brother and father. In this one, Nicholson is a wealthy wine dealer who has distanced himself from his wife with his philandering and from his son with his negligence. After he steals a diamond necklace with the help of a safecracker partner, Victor, things start coming apart. His wife sets out to interrupt what she thinks is another one of his weekend dalliances, but is really his trip to pawn the jewels.

Where are the photos?

The Reeses'll be gone three weeks.

A step down from your place

in London, Vic.

The interesting thing about rich people is,

they're so cheap.

They'll spend 1.3 million on a necklace...

with diamonds

the size of chocolates.

Then they'll lock it

in a tin box from Sears.

- So we got no problems?

- Not with the box.

Where does the alarm wire lead?

I don't know.

Into the wall, Vic. All right?

Oh. Lovely.

Our first complication.

Look, you wanted photographs.

I got you photographs.

And I asked an amateur.

Haven't exactly

been living in an ashram.

- You trust the girl?

- Yeah, I trust her. She doesn't know anything.

Don't take it personally, Alex.

I don't trust the jury system, the phone

company or the Israeli government.

Can we quit jerking off, Vic?

- Are we gonna be ready tomorrow?

- Mm-hmm.

This is for you.

My family want to know

when they are going to meet you...

this man that I see so much.

They have expectations, Alex.

That's all.

So do I.

Ahh. Come on.

- I'm gonna take you places, baby.

- Oh, yeah? Where?

How 'bout Paris?

We can stay at the Ritz...

eat our way through every

three-star restaurant in town.

- Uh-huh.

- Buy you a suit at Chanel.

But no pink, please.

I don't look good in pink.

Okay. No pink.

Which one?

Mmm.

- Both.

- I knew you'd say that.

You know, I could make a mistake

and believe you.

You know, it's a mistake

not to believe me.

Hi.

Go back to sleep.

I did this myself.

I think I look younger

with my hair like this. Don't you?

You look like a janitor.

Fine. I don't have an ego.

Just so long as I don't

match my mug shots.

Jesus!

Take it easy.

Ah, there you are, Mike.

- Don't flip the gate like that.

- We're running a little behind.

- I got some wine-

- Well, you missed 'em already.

- They sailed this morning.

- Yeah, I know. They arranged for the nanny to let us in.

The Cuban girl?

They fired her.

- What?

- Yeah, right before they left.

Guess it don't pay to have

that kind of ass in that kind of job, huh?

I have a schedule to keep, Mr. Gates.

- This'll have to be another day.

- This can't wait.

Mr. Reese will lose his entire wine collection

if we don't fix that humidifier.

- It'll cost him a fortune.

- What's your name?

Harold.

Freeman.

I'll have to go get the keys.

Dear God.

A cop on the job.

- This is where he can reach me.

- Okay.

Thank you.

- Tell him I said I'm sorry.

- For what?

Hi, Jason.

- Sir.

- Thank you.

- You're working for idiots.

- But those idiots pay me.

They give me a roof.

Now I have to go stay with my cousins.

My cousin, her husband,

her four kids and six cats.

And I hate cats.

What's wrong with cats?
