Crime Spree Page #3

Synopsis: Would-be thieves of the French underworld, Marcel (Johnny Hallyday) and Zero (Renaud) have a knack for doing everything wrong. But even their most ardent doubters could not have seen the latest disaster coming. After being handed a seemingly easy score -- robbing a Chicago house said to be full of jewels -- the crew rips off mob boss Frankie Zammeti's (Harvey Keitel) home instead. They then steal a street gang's car for their getaway, which gets them into even more hot water.

A beat. Raymond and Marcel stare at one another. We HEAR a muffled

GROANING SOUND in the b.g.

DANIEL:

Where's your brother?

BASTALDI:

Vincent's in the States on business.

(a beat; referring to

the painting)

That it?

Daniel lays the cardboard tube containing the painting on the desk.

Bastaldi removes the painting. To him it is not a work of art,

just a commodity to be sold. He opens his desk drawer, removes

several large stacks of money and hands them to Daniel.

BASTALDI:

Okay. Now I've got something I want to --

We HEAR the groaning sound again. Bastaldi looks irritated. He

gets up and walks over to a closet. He opens to the doors to reveal

a man in his underwear, his wrists tied behind his back, his mouth

taped shut. A wire noose is around his neck forcing him to stand

on his tip toes to avoid hanging himself.

BASTALDI:

Do you mind? I'm trying to do some

business here.

The man looks at Bastaldi through pleading eyes and mumbles

something.

BASTALDI:

One more sound out of you and I'm going

to cut your f***in' tongue out.

Bastaldi closes the door. Daniel looks at him inquisitively.

BASTALDI:

You take someone in. Give them a steady

job and how do they repay you? By

claiming to misplace a shipment of your

merchandise.

RAYMOND:

Maybe he did misplace it.

BASTALDI:

You misplace your car keys. You misplace

your cell phone.

You do not misplace one hundred and forty

seven wide-screen TV's!

DANIEL:

Laurant, how long has he been in there?

Bastaldi looks puzzled.

BASTALDI:

I don't know. What day is today?

JULIEN:

Thursday.

BASTALDI:

Is it Thursday already? This week has

just shot by.

Bastaldi thinks about something for a moment, then...

BASTALDI:

You and your crew speak English, don't

you?

Daniel is still staring at the closet.

BASTALDI:

Hey Daniel! Hello?

(snaps his fingers)

Do you guys speak English?
