Crossing The Bridge Page #5

Synopsis: An off-screen narrator, Mort Golden, takes us back to winter around 1975, the year he was 21. He and his two buddies, Tim and Danny, have a fateful trip over the bridge from Detroit into Canada. The three of them are going nowhere in life, although Mort has thoughts of being a writer, while his mom wants him to go to college. He and his pals contemplate making a quick fortune transporting drugs over the border in their beat-up Buick, "the war wagon." Mort's also hopelessly in love with a girl he dated briefly a couple years before. With border inspectors, Tim's temper, and Danny's bottled up emotions, is there any way this can end well?

three grand each.

What are you talkin' about?

Tim, what is he talking about?

Where do you think I went?

I made the deal.

You di...

you did what?

Are you nuts!

Are you outta your mind?

You mean, there are drugs in this car?

Yes, mort,

there are drugs in this car, but I think

you need to say it just a little louder...

You dick!

We're dead! We're dead!

- You should've told us, man.

- Would you have done it?

I don't know.

That's not the point.

Let's just back up.

We'll dump the stuff.

We can't back up, mort.

We're blocked in.

Just relax.

Act normal.

Act normal. Act nor...

we're going to prison!

Act normal!

It's gonna be okay.

Just relax.

License, please, and I need

identification from you two.

Stand by, 130.

A 1970 Chevy impala, red.

One male, one female, Caucasian...

you boys get out of the car, please.

Turn the engine off.

Can you open up the trunk, please?

Lean up against the hood, please.

Put your hands up against the hood.

Which hood? This hood? That's the one.

I, just, I asked, 'cause I'm nervous.

I'm, I'm nervous 'cause

I've never been frisked before,

as opposed to being nervous

for something I did wrong.

So, where you boys comin' from?

Jolly Jeff's.

Jolly Jeff's?

Did you have a good time?

Great time.

All right, fellas.

You can move out.

Dick! Will you take it easy?

We were this close to going to jail!

No, we weren't.

So how much money we make?

None.

There was no hash in the trunk, mort.

I was just testing you jerks to see

if you could handle the pressure.

- And guess what?

- You failed.

Mort, you should have seen your face.

You looked like you were gonna cry.

You know something, Morgan?

If your brains were dynamite, you

wouldn't have enough to blow your ass.

Nose, Tim.

The joke is, "blow your nose."

He knows what I'm talkin' about.

I can take you home, Tim.

We wouldn't have made it.

The setup was fine.

The only problem was you guys. No.

No, we wouldn't have made it.

These guys had dogs and mirrors.

These border guys are serious.

They never touched the tire.

I think we could have made it.

Come on, let's go.

I'm gonna walk. I don't want my old

man, if he's up, to hear the w.W.

See ya tomorrow.

Tim.

Yeah.

Can I get a hug?

I'll break both your arms.

Hey, are you sure you don't wanna come in,

lay on the floor, listen to records,

talk about chicks?

I don't think so.

See ya, mort.

See ya, Tim.

This is Danny's dad, Lou.

He used to be our high school's

football coach.

A good guy, just kind of out

of it these last few years.

We used to say that Lou spent a

lot of time "fixing the porch."

Apparently, that third step he's sitting

on is a little higher than the others,
