EXT. LAFITTE’S HOUSE - DAY - ESTABLISHING
A few hours later. Many of the BARATARIANS from the beachhave taken position around Lafitte’s house in the trees.
They are clearly interested by what’s happening inside. And
as LAUGHTER wafts out the open FRENCH DOORS of the balcony --
INT. LAFITTE’S HOUSE - DINING ROOM - DAY
Lockyer and his officers are finishing up what could only bedescribed as a FEAST. A long dining table has remnants ofevery type of breakfast food imaginable -- MEATS, FRUITS,
PASTRIES -- all served on fine silver with accompanying WINE.
Lafitte sits at the head of the table, relaxed and charming.
Next to him are his two brothers -- PIERRE LAFITTE (40) isnebbish and not as handsome as Jean, while DOMINIQUE YOU (33)
is Pierre and Jean’s half-brother and just a bull of a man.
And while Jean and Pierre are dressed somewhat like
businessmen of the time, Dominique is pure RUFFIAN PIRATE.
JEAN LAFITTE:
-- we found the sailor shivering ina row boat wearing nothing but hisdressing clothes. He paid twice asmuch to tow him back to his ship!
More laughter. A SERVANT BOY fills Lockyer’s cup.
NICHOLAS LOCKYER
Monsieur Lafitte, we must givethanks for such warm hospitality.
JEAN LAFITTE:
Please, Captain. It is our nature.
NICHOLAS LOCKYER
Fruit from the West Indies, the
best wines of Old Spain. And yourwares of the house -- Chinese silk
on the table, French silver and
crystal. Even -- yes, I’m quite
sure -- is that not a British
chronometer in the corner?

15.
NICHOLAS LOCKYER (CONT'D)
I believe it is actually, oneissued to Her Majesty’s trading
ships just this past year. Quite
rare to be found in residences such
as these.
That was casually direct. Lafitte plays it cool.
JEAN LAFITTE:
I see we have arrived at the
business portion of our encounter.
Lockyer nods --and so we have. One of Lockyer’s OFFICERS
places a worn HAND-BILL in the center of the table.
JEAN LAFITTE (CONT’D)
Shall I read it or am I to assume -
NICHOLAS LOCKYER
It’s a bill. Offering $500 rewardfor anyone who may deliver you toGovernor Claiborne of Louisiana.
JEAN LAFITTE:
Surely you’re not here to arrest me-- not after a feast such as this.
NICHOLAS LOCKYER
You’re no friend to America.
Dominique You scoffs. He speaks rapidly with heavy accent.
DOMINIQUE YOU:
It ain’t worth the paper that prickClaiborne had it printed on. We
put our own bounty on him! $5000
anyone delivers le gouverneur ici!
NICHOLAS LOCKYER
Yes, quite diplomatic. And he sent
word to the President himself about
such worrisome “hellish banditi”.
You are outlaws and always shall be.
