Bad Company Page #4

in the region of, let's say,

$25,000.

50. Yeah, 50.

I figure you started with 25,

so I know you got more.

You ain't gonna give me

all your money. 50,000.

This is what I'm thinking,

Mr. Hayes. With $25,000, your

girlfriend Julie could go to college,

she wouldn't have to go to Seattle--

Or work with Ken.

Okay, here's what I'm thinking.

You're gonna give me $50,000, tax-free.

Okay, 50,000 after tax,

after the job is done.

Half now, half after.

10 now, 40 after.

Unless my mother had triplets,

you're gonna give me 10 now,

90 after.

Okay, you got a deal.

- So when do we start?

- Now.

- See your brother's file? Study it.

- So there's homework?

- Preparation.

- Okay. Let's see.

"Dad sits on the board

of the New York Stock Exchange."

"Mom, co-artistic director

at Lincoln Center."

Must have been nice.

In my foster house, we were so poor...

we used to lick stamps for dinner.

Let's see. "Prep school at Exeter.

Then college at Dartmouth.

Served in the Naval Academy."

- That's right.

- What did he serve, lunch?

Man. "Rhodes scholar."

- So my brother was real smart?

- Yeah.

Damn, the CIA is cheap.

Y'all coulda at least got me

a queen-size. What is this, jack-size?

- What's that "Zazz-nod" mean?

- It's Czech for "bathroom".

You'll find the room labeled

with phonetic translations.

Why?

'Cause the deal goes down

in the Czech Republic.

- Czech Republic?

- Here's a dictionary.

Hey, how do I get an outside line?

I need somebody to feed my cat.

You don't have an outside line,

and you don't have a cat.

Okay, so what am I

supposed to be doing here?

There's a tape in the VCR.

It's a video of your brother.

Watch it, the way he talks

and the way he moves.

I know there's a lot to deal with here,

but we're all behind you.

- We'll start in the morning.

You got any questions? - Yeah.

If my brother was such a genius,

then how come he's dead?

- 5:
00 a. m.

- Hey, I don't do 5:00 a. m.

- Bottom line, what are our chances?

- I'd say anywhere between...

nil and zero.

- Why do you say that?

- Well, I grant you he's got potential.

He's pretty street-smart.

In 6 months he could...

probably fool his brother's own parents,

but 8 days-- you got to be kidding.

Probably get himself killed on this mission,

and anyone else who goes along with him.

Would you like to be replaced

on the mission?

Why? Are you saying you're going ahead

with or without me?

Yeah, that's precisely

what I'm saying.

Well, sir,

when do I tell him

what this mission involves?

Well, if I were you, I would tell him

as little as possible.

Don't put anything

into his head he can't use,

and certainly nothing that could
