Romeo Must Die Page #4

Synopsis: In this modern day Romeo and Juliet, kung fu action star Jet Li plays Romeo to hip-hop singer, Aaliyah Haughton's Juliet. Li is an ex-cop investigating the murder of his brother, who had ties with the Chinese mafia in America. Aaliyah plays the daughter of the American mob boss. Neither side approves of their romance, so, obviously, kung fu action ensues, with a soundtrack by Aaliyah.

Those big brown eyes are gonna get all

misty wishing there were two of me.

You know, fill yourself all you want.

I just lost my appetite.

Sit down.

You don't have to respect me, but you will

respect your father and let us protect you.

Do you understand?

Hey, Mac, you're so smooth

with the ladies, baby.

If I want Eddie Murphy,

I'll go to the goddamn movies.

Yeah, dog.

Good. Give him some fat-free water

or something.

Where my drink, man?

The f*** you looking at?

Hey!

All the way down the end there!

All the way down. Keep it moving. Move it out.

Colin.

Finish telling me about this call you got.

Guy calls, says he wants to meet me.

For what?

I don't know. We didn't talk that long.

Said he had a little something

that might put a stop to this war.

A little something?

A little something.

I didn't trust his ass,

so I tell him meet me at Silk's.

As soon as you got that call,

you should've told me.

Huh?

Next time l cross the street,

you should hold my hand.

Hey, who the hell you talking to?

I will knock the black off you, boy.

I mean no disrespect.

But l'm just trying to be a man here.

I'm looking out for you.

I don't need you

to look out for me, Colin.

Have a seat, Colin.

Go on. Sit down.

Come on.

I've been working on a big deal.

A real big deal.

When it goes through, we're out

of this gangster nonsense for good.

Everything we do will be

strictly legit from here on out.

What do you mean?

I got something else lined up for my boy.

And you will get to run with this ball.

I guarantee that.

But, Colin, you gotta use your head.

And you gotta listen.

You understand what l'm saying to you?

Yeah, Pop.

Finish your drink.

Collard Green.

Black Mac.

Something wrong?

You tell me.

Hey, chief.

Hey.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news,

but you need to see this.

Calvin's place?

Mm-hm.

He was the sweetest guy in the world.

I think I'd better wrap up

these acquisitions quickly for you.

Things are getting pretty crazy

around here.

You gonna be okay?

Just give me a minute.

Okay, boss.

That's it right over there.

Okay. Lock up the store.

- We're going out tonight?

- Definitely.

Follow her.

Ahkbar. What the hell

are you doing here?

I need to ask you...

You get out of my apartment

before I call the cops.

Please.

You're the only guy I know working

down the criminal ladder. What's up?

This is the last number my brother

called before he was murdered.

It's the number of your shop.

It is.

But l don't know your brother.

- Why would he want to talk to me?

- He called your store.

But not to talk to me.

A girl who works the register.

It could've been her.

My brother...

Brother?

Colin.

Sometimes he makes calls from the shop.
