Restraint Page #2

Synopsis: A small time criminal, Ron, has killed the boss of his girlfriend and they are escaping from the police. After killing a gas station attendant, Ron drives to an old manor in the middle of nowhere where Andrew, an agoraphobic, lives, in order to exchange their car. When he notes that Andrew is a wealthy man, Ron decides to get money from Andrew to travel to Thailand. Andrew notices that Dale resembles his fiancée, Gabrielle, who left him six months ago. He proposes that Dale dye her hair and go to the bank with two cheques of $20,000.00 pretending that she is Gabrielle. But things do not go according to plan.

Look, all we have to do

is take the first check...

to the bank tomorrow...

and they will give you $20,000.00

Then when the account

is topped up overnight,

you take the second

check in on the Tuesday.

Look, the local bank

knows about my condition...

and they will call here

for a password.

Once I speak to them,

they will pay out in full...

and you will have

$40,000.00 in your hand.

Who does this for you normally?

Lilly, my housekeeper.

As if they're going

to give us 20 grand in cash!

They will if...

If you become my fiance.

- I don't look nothing like her.

- Let him finish.

When I walked in that first time...

when I saw you standing there...

I'm not doing it.

You were so just like...

Look, Gabrielle's only been

to Bowral a couple of times.

If you were to dye

your hair blonde...

- Where is this fiance?

- She's overseas.

- She's...

- Ron!

Babe!

Is your fiance really

as pretty as my Dale here?

That dress is a perfect fit, isn't it?

I'm not doing it, I'll get caught!

Why am I the only one that

has to take a risk, huh?

This is typical of you.

Can't do a bloody thing.

Just take a look at me.

Now look around you.

I could never be her.

Ron, I really don't think...

that's the way to talk to her.

Andy, I really don't think...

that's the way to talk to Ron.

Dale?

Hey, you.

I'm scared.

I know you are, babe.

I'm scared, too.

Sh*t.

Ferrari 360.

He's a fantastic character, too...

Grow up, Andy.

So what's she like, this chick?

Does she talk like you?

I suppose so.

You can look at me, Andy.

You never been to a strip club?

No, I haven't.

So how long has she been away?

Six months.

You don't worry she got her legs...

wrapped around

some other guy by now?

- No. She's not like that.

- Like what?

Normal?

Like you.

Let me tell you something, Andy.

They're all like me.

Well! What do you know?

Another rainbow!

Where's my gun?

F***!

I knew it!

Pot of gold!

If you even wink at these pricks...

- you're f***ed!

- What's going on?

Cops are at the door.

Oh, f***!

Say anything you want.

Just get rid of him.

I've killed two people.

I got nothing to lose.

Mr. Shepard?

Yes?

How can I help you?

I'm Sergeant Widdens,

this is Constable Blarney.

We're with the Bowral Police.

Your housekeeper got in touch with us.

She reckons she hasn't

been able to raise you.

Oh...

- You all right, Mr. Shepard?

- Yes, I'm fine.

Would you prefer if we came inside?

I've been overdoing it a bit.

My fiance rang a few days ago.

She's met someone else.

She's coming here

to pick up her things.

Yeah, well...

I know how these things

can get on top of you...

but if you could call her,

I'd appreciate it.
