(2) VERONA(CONT'D)

the sh*t I gave you is some f***ing high

tech sci-fi Chinese synthetic sh*t that

even I don't know exactly what the f***

it is. All I know is once it binds with

your blood cells, you're f***ed, baby...

and believe me, it's done binded. By now

you'll be feeling your joints stiffen

up... hard to breath...

CHEV puts his hand on the left side of his chest to feel his

5 5

heart. The BEATS of the heart grow louder still, but the

rhythm falters, begins to slow ...

VERONA (V.O.) (CONT'D)

... your heartbeat is slowing down like

there's rust in your veins... you're like

the Tin Man in the Wizard of freaking

Oz...

One of the THUGS, ALEX, contributes from offscreen.

LEX:

"If he only had a brain."

ERONA:

(irritated)

Scarecrow. Whatever. You get the point.

You're f***ed. You got maybe an hour,

max, tough guy ... baby ... sexy ...

The THUGS are into it; VERONA is rolling. One of them comes

up beside the bed and plants a big kiss on CHEV'S unconscious

head.

VERONA (CONT'D)

Hey, it's been real. Probably should've

thought twice before you whacked Don Kim.

Experiencing a little 20/20 hindsight? I

thought so. Have a nice death...

Finally the CAMERA reverses to reveal CHEV'S slack-jawed 6

face, staring at the TV. CHEV is in his late 20s, handsome

in an offhanded way. All of the background noise - the

HEARTBEAT, the CELL PHONE - cuts to dead silence... and

through the silence, a SINGLE WORD:

VERONA (CONT'D)

... a**hole.

(A driving SOUNDTRACK kicks in. The OPENING TITLES play over

the following:
