Lucky Number Slevin Page #2

Synopsis: In an airport waiting room, a man in a wheelchair tells a stranger a story about a fixed horse race in 1979 that resulted in a family's deaths. In Manhattan, two bookies and the son of a Mob boss die. A young man just out of the shower answers the door to a neighbor woman and explains that he's visiting, has had a bad week, including being mugged, and doesn't know where his pal, who lives there, is. The neighbor is chatty; she's a coroner. Two thugs arrive and, believing the visitor to be the guy who lives there, take him to see the boss with the dead son, who tells him to kill the son of his Mob rival. Mistaken identity? What connects the threads? Cops are watching.

Urgh!

Where am l?

Roth he'll tell you everything I swear.

He already has.

Please.

I have a family.

PIease

PIease!

Where's my boy?

Henry!

Where are they?

Henry!

Henry!

F***.

Sh*t.

Jesus.

"F***. sh*t Jesus" is right.

I don't understand.

Why did they kill Max's family?

New outfit in town.

They didn't want somebody else

betting on a fixed horserace with them.

Trying to make an impression.

That's a f***ing story man.

Charlie Chaplin entered a Charlie Chaplin

look-a-like contest in Monte Carlo

and came in third.

Now that's a story.

This...

This is something else.

So that's a Kansas City Shuffle?

No.

It's just the inciting incident.

The catalyst.

This - is a Kansas City Shuffle.

They look right

And you...

go left.

Sorry about that son.

Sometimes there's more to life than just living.

Besides...you can't have a Kansas City Shuffle

without a body.

He's down!

- Get the roof!

Up there!

I'm coming!

Coming.

It took you long enough.

You're not Nick.

You're not as tall as I thought you'd be.

Well I'm short for my height.

That makes sense because I can usually

tell how tall someone is by their knock...

You have a deceptively tall knock.

Congratulations.

So it's a good thing?

I open the door expeccting you to be up here

you're down here.

That combined with a low centre of gravity -

forget about it.

Who are you?

I'm Slevin.

And what happened to your nose?

I was using it to break some guy's fist.

Somebody hit you?

Yeah... I was kind of expeccting it though.

You were kind of expeccting it?

Well they say bad things happen in threes.

FirstI Iost my job

Then I came home to find

my apartment building had been condemned

due to a hybrid breed

of Ecuadorian Super Termites

So I went to my girlfriend Kelly's

I had a key so I Iet myself in

Hey don't stop on my account.

- Oh sh*t!

Slevin.

It was an accident.

What Iike he tripped and you fell?

Slevin do you know what time it is?

I'm at the airport

are you sure you want me to come out?

Yeah two weeks in New York

and the only Kelly you'II remember

is the Kelly who gave you your first hand job

on the bus to summer camp

Kelly Perkins. Said her hands were dry

and she needed...

She said that to a Iot of guys

that's why we called her Jerkins Perkins

Just call me when you Iand all right?

- Y eah.

Y eah I just got into town Nick...

I'm on my way over to your place.

Say man you got the time?

Ya man it's uh...7:23.

So you're probably still asleep?

Yo you got a smoke?

- No I don't smoke man.

Why don't you just go ahead and give me

your wallet and I'II buy my own smokes?

Am I being mugged?

Man!

And so here I am.

You said three.
