Guns for Hire Page #2

Synopsis: Beatle is a quirky loner who refuses to live by society's rules. Her business cards read "Towing/Assassination," and she even has a hit man infomercial to go along with it. Her only human contact is with her psychiatrist and the stripper/hooker she employs once a week. Everything changes the night she meets Athena Klendon, a suicidal blonde with a secret. With a demented killer on their tail, courtesy of Athena's crooked former employer, the two quickly strike a bargain. Athena will change her life insurance policy to reflect Beatle as the beneficiary in exchange for her own execution. And while they wait for the paperwork to come through, Beatle will provide room and board and get some extra help on her infomercial. The two have no idea that Detective Holt has been on their case reviewing their every move. Just when he thinks he's got Beatle pinned beyond a shadow of a doubt, this comedic mystery takes a wild and unexpected turn.

- Who?

- Your shrink.

I Want to talk about Dr. Vanderark.

OK.

I would appreciate it if you would

apologize to my secretary

before you leave today.

- Why?

- I think you know why.

- Can I help you?

- I very seriously doubt it.

You can't go in there,

he's with a patient,

and you can not smoke!

There. Happy?

We'll come back to that.

So you were making trouble.

While Athena was having

her own problems.

I mean What makes you think

that I have that kind of cash

just lying around?

Does it seem like I've been

lobotomized in the past six months?

Turn around. Turn around!

You knovv, you have a really

nice ass, Athena.

You should think about

wearing shorter dresses.

OK, you can turn around.

Now, why don't you take my oar,

you're gonna be

coming back here anyway, right?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, good.

OK. It's yours.

So she goes to this guy for cash

and gets the keys to the car.

The oar that later breaks clown

and bingo, he calls a tow truck, you!

A tow truck?

So now I'm a tow truck driver,

not an assassin?

Well, every assassin has a cover, right?

Yes, and you were saying?

Yeah. So, I Went to go

kill this guy today, right.

And before I did, I sorta said that

I thought that he might deserve it.

And then I got to thinking about it

later and I realized that,

that wasn't really a very nice

thing to say. So, I felt bad.

- I wanna stop you right there, Ronda.

- Don't say it!

Let's not get distracted

from the matter at hand.

Why do you insist on this fantasy

of being an assassin?

- It's not a fantasy. It's true.

- No. It's not.

Personally, I think an assassin

sounds better than a tow truck driver.

So now you're admitting to being

an assassin? Which is it?

You tell me.

Next.

I'm back. And I have cash now.

Eight hundred nineteen dollars,

twenty-three cents.

Sh*t.

The meter...

I had to... I had to pay the meter

I must have miscalculated. I...

This is all the money I have in the

world, I had to borrow it to pay this.

So you have to pay the whole thing.

Are you serious?

It's ten cents.

Sorry. You have to pay the whole thing.

You're not sorry.

Are you, you certainly should be.

But you're not. Not at all are you?

- No.

- Sh*t!

Next.

No.

Is this funny, you think this is funny?

You... you think it's funny that my car

has a gaudy hunk

of orange metal on it right now,

and the only Way for me

to get it off before it gets towed

is to borrow $819 from a man

I'm already indebted to

for the rest of my natural life?

You think it's funny that I got here

first thing this morning?

I Waited two fricken hours

only to have you to tell me

I have to have cash,

when I called before

to make sure you take checks
