2 Days in the Valley Page #4

Synopsis: John Herzfeld deftly welds together a multitude of subplots-- a loser hitman and a cool assassin involved in an insurance scam; a washed-up director, turned suicidal, if only he had someone to care for his beloved dog; a snooty art dealer, wracked by kidney stones, cared for by his devoted assistant; a grungy deranged vice cop, now partnered with a fresh-faced rookie; and two beautiful and jealous women entangled in their deadly scheme--into a spoof of the crime thriller genre.

Thanks.

I owe this guy.

He might have saved my life.

You must still be sedated.

You never gave me a Chagall print,

and I've worked for you for eight years.

Susan, if you wanted,

I could give you something better.

What?

With a little surgery,

you don't have to be that homely.

I'd pay for implants and liposuction,

but don't take it as an insult.

You know how much I like you.

I'll let your dog in.

If you fixed yourself up,

you might meet a man.

Hello, Audrey, it's me.

Your kidney stone-less

half-brother.

That's right.

I had them last night.

Did Mom have kidney stones?

The urologist wanted to know.

If you're checking your machine

before you leave work, just come on by.

I need a nurse.

Susan?

Susan, don't be so sensitive.

Christ!

For God sakes, Susan.

Come back inside.

Call him off!

Who are you?

Call your f***ing dog off!

Mark!

Come here!

Mark! Heel!

Call him off!

He's not vicious. He wants to fetch.

He's waiting for you to throw the gun.

You better get over here...

and drag him away,

or I'll shoot him.

And then I'll shoot

the both of you too.

Do you have something to do with

that car that blew up on Mulholland?

I was supposed to be

in the car.

There's a man that's gonna come looking

for me to finish the job he botched.

- I'd like to borrow your car keys.

- Give him the keys.

I'm going to pull him away.

Good idea. Prick f***.

F*** prick. F*** you.

God, are you ugly.

Do I know you?

- Me?

- You look familiar.

- Susan, let him go.

- Susan what?

Parish,

but I changed it from Pollutzo.

Pollutzo is a beautiful name.

You shouldn't have changed it.

- You got a smoke?

- No, I don't smoke.

Look, I'm not a thief,

but I need money.

I lost my wallet.

No, not yours. His.

All I is have is about $40.

It's crooked.

Pollutzo?

Sh*t! Sh*t!

Leave the dog outside.

You two come in.

Shut the door!

You got anything to eat here?

I'm f***ing starving.

Got any pasta, marinara sauce?

Any garlic?

Why don't you just go?

Take the car and leave.

You want us to cook for you?

No, no, I'll cook.

You know, people don't realize

how important a minute is.

So much life revolves

around a single minute.

You have a minute egg,

minute waltz, Minute Rice.

People are always demanding

you give them a minute.

Nobody realizes how valuable it is

until they only have one left.

Wait.

Just stand there a minute.

I just wanna look at you.

God definitely broke the mold

after you, baby.

Tell that to my modeling agency.

Tell them yourself.

You're not too tall.

It's the world

that's too short.

God, you are beautiful.

You know,

when I asked Roy...

if you approached him

on behalf of the North Koreans...
