INT. BRUNO'S COMPARTMENT ON TRAIN (PROCESS)
Bruno and Guy are finishing lunch. Bruno has been drinking
and his eyes are bright and feverish. An almost empty liquor
bottle is near a couple of detective novels covered with
gaudily Illustrated dust jackets. Bruno has in unlighted
cigarette in his mouth. Guy's lighter is on the table.
Bruno snaps it a couple of times, as though fascinated, lights
his cigarette and puts the lighter on the table again.
BRUNO:
Sure, I went to college. Three of
them. Every time they kicked me out
(bitterly)
He finally gave up. He thinks I'm
awfully small fry, not worth the
bait.
(wistfully)
You my friend, Guy?
GUY:
Sure. I'm your friend, Bruno.
BRUNO:
(a little woozy)
No, you're not, nobody thinks I'm
anything special. Only my mother.
(empties the bottle
into his glass)
Guy smiles this off as nonsense.
GUY:
You must be imagining things.
BRUNO:
(hitting the bottom
of the bottle for
the last drop)
And I hate him. He thinks I ought
to catch the eight-five bus every
morning, punch a timeclock and work
my way up selling paint or something.
Him -- with all his money!
GUY:
(amused by Bruno)
Well, what do you want to do?
BRUNO:
You mean before or after I kill him?

GUY:
(chuckling)
Before, of course.
BRUNO:
(leaning forward
eagerly)
I want to do everything. I got a
theory you're supposed to do
everything before you die. Have you
ever driven a car, blindfolded, at a
hundred and fifty miles an hour?
GUY:
Not lately.
BRUNO:
I did. I flew in a jet plans too.
(his hand traces a
swift streak through
the air, and he adds
sound effects)
Zzzzzzzp! Man, that's a thrill!
Almost blow the sawdust out of my
head. I'm going to make a reservation
on the first rocket to the moon...
GUY:
(amused and curious)
What are you trying prove?
BRUNO:
I'm not like you, Guy. You're lucky.
You're smart. Marrying the boss's
daughter is a nice short cut to a
career, isn't it?
GUY:
(quickly)
Marrying the senator's daughter has
nothing to do with it. Can't a fellow
look past a tennis not without being
a goldbricker?
BRUNO:
Take it easy, boy. I'm your friend,
remember? I'd do anything for you.
GUY:
(humoring Bruno)
Sure, Bruno, sure.

GUY (CONT'D)
(glancing at his watch)
We'll be pulling in soon. I've got
to change trains.
BRUNO:
What'd you say her name was -- your
wife's?
GUY:
Miriam.
