The Ice Harvest Page #2

Synopsis: Larceny, lust and lethal behavior. In icebound Wichita, Kansas, it's Christmas Eve, and this year Charlie Arglist just might have something to celebrate. Charlie, an attorney for the sleazy businesses of Wichita, and his unsavory associate, the steely Vic Cavanaugh have just successfully embezzled $2 million from Kansas City boss Bill Guerrard. But the real prize for Charlie is the stunning Renata, who runs the Sweet Cage strip club. Charlie hopes to slip out of town with Renata. But as daylight fades and an ice storm whirls, everyone from Charlie's drinking buddy Pete Van Heuten to the local police begin to wonder just what exactly is in Charlie's Christmas stocking - and the 12 hours of Christmas Eve are filled with surprises.

Vic? Vic?

F*** me.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa!

F***.

F***, f***, f***.

Hi, Mr. Arglist.

I didn't recognize you.

Hi.

Yeah. Boy, I didn't realize

how slippery that was.

Yeah. Didn't you notice all the

cars off the side of the road?

I wasn't paying close

enough attention, I guess.

You going somewhere, Mr. Arglist? No.

Hey, none of my business,

right?

I'd be careful, though.

We're gonna have this freezing

rain on and off all night...

so I'd stay off the road...

and probably take it easy

with that, too.

The next guy

who pulls you over...

might be somebody

who don't know any better.

I definitely owe you one.

All right. It's Tyler.

It's R.P. Tyler.

Remember my name

to Mr. Guerrard.

I will.

What is it?

Just kidding. Just kidding.

Have a merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

D*ckhead.

I'm not working Christmas

for no f***ing money, Dennis.

I'm not.

I could be at home spending

Christmas with my kids.

Your kids with your husband,

Francie. They in Denver.

F*** you very much

for throwing that in my face.

Look, you can cry all you

want, but you're still going on.

You've been here long enough

to know the goddamn drill.

You wanna work on the hot nights,

you gotta work on the cold.

F*** it, Dennis.

I'm not paying Bill Guerrard

a $100 stage rental fee...

so some old pervert can look at

my twat on Christmas f***ing Eve!

Go dance.

Tell you what.

Since it's Christmas Eve...

stage rental's on the house.

Hi, Charlie.

I didn't see you come in.

Hi.

You mean it?

Uh-huh.

Gee, thanks.

Since when are you a friend

of the working girl?

It's Christmas, Dennis.

It's God's birthday.

Well, hello there, Councilman.

So, Dennis, you're saying

you haven't seen Charlie, huh?

Charlie? No.

Why do you ask?

How about Vic Cavanaugh?

You seen him?

Dude, I don't do henchmen,

man. I do strippers.

Hey, Frankie.

Is Vic around?

He's sitting over there.

Let me get you a drink.

Thanks.

Victor.

You know, us being seen

together, tonight of all nights...

is probably not so smart.

I would have called...

but I had

a bit of a situation.

So, guess who's

over at the Tease.

Roy Gelles.

I just spoke to him.

You just spoke to him?

Yeah, I spoke to him.

Come on, man. What the

f***... What did he say?

What's wrong with you? He just

called to wish me a merry Christmas.

Well, what

did you say?

Well, I wished him

a merry Christmas.

What did he say?

What the hell

are you so worried about?

Vic, I sue people

for a living.

You sell them pornography.

Roy hurts people.

He makes it so their knees and

elbows bend in both directions.

That worries me.

Let me ask you something.

Did I make a mistake when I

made you my partner in this deal?
