Duplicity

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

So how long

were you gonna keep me waiting?

Excuse me?

- I'm dying over there;

- Where?

There, by the Ben Franklin

potato salad pavilion;

I'm sorry;

Are we supposed to know each other?

Definitely; I mean, we're supposed to;

We don't, but we should;

- Ray; Ray Koval;

- (CLEARS THROAT) Theresa Corrado;

- Nice to meet you;

- Okay;

- Happy Independence Day;

- And to you;

Look, I'm sorry; I don't know if it's the knee

or something, but I'm a little confused;

I thought we were checking each other out;

No; Sorry; Maybe you're drunk;

No, no, no;

If I was drunk, I'd be coming on to you;

That's a relief;

If I was drunk,

I'd be saying how amazing you look

and how crazy it is

that you're standing here on your own;

Wow; Are you always like this?

No; I sometimes sound like this,

but this is definitely different;

- What's so different?

- I don't know;

I guess that's what I came over to find out;

RAY O VER PHONE; You're kidding, right?

DALE; I'm dead serious;

RAY; Behind me?

DALE; He made the turn with us on 6th;

RAY; Hey, if this is some kind of game

you guys play to keep things exciting,

I gotta tell you, it's a little sad;

DALE; (CHUCKLES) This is no game, Ray;

This is real;

Like I told you, man,

this is old-school espionage;

Moscow rules; Street spies;

RAY; How far behind me?

DALE; He's about three meters back;

He must have picked us up downtown;

RAY; And you know this guy?

DALE; I've seen him around;

He's definitely Burkett & Randle;

I keep telling you, man; These people

take soap and shaving cream very seriously;

So I guess that means we're going to plan B;

DALE; Let's do it;

- What's he wearing?

- Navy turtleneck, gray jacket;

(HORNS HONKING)

That was sweet, man;

It's all good; It's all good;

There's no way this guy is working solo,

so if we want to bust you out,

we're gonna have to make a little noise

up here at the corner;

(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

DALE; You wanna box him out of here

or leapfrog? What do you wanna do?

RAY:
I still think you're messing with me;

Call it, Ray; Box or leapfrog?

Or maybe you just want to find out

if I'm worth the money;

- DALE; Come on, man;

- Leapfrog;

(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

(WOMAN GROANS)

Jesus!

Watch where you go; It's New York, okay?

Let me help;

Open the eyes!

- Hey, you there?

- DALE; What are you doing?

Problem;

- DALE; I thought you were in position;

- I am; I was;

DALE; We're two minutes away;

- We're blown;

- What are you talking about?

Reschedule the meet;

No; No can do;

We're blown; Just walk away;

Listen to me; I know what it's like;

New guy on the team, big game,

you wanna make a good impression;

Hello? Ray?

Remember me?

- Sure; Of course; We; ; ;

- Long time, huh?

- Yes!

- Gotcha;

- I'm sorry, I just; ; ;

- Just what?

I'm drawing a blank;

- Nice try;

- Excuse me?

A little professional courtesy

would make this a lot less awkward;

- How do I know you?

- How do you know me?

(LAUGHING) Wow! That's tough;

That's a strong play;

Believe me, I've spent a lot of time thinking

what this would be like,

where we'd be, what I'd say, what you'd say;

- But I never thought that you'd; ; ;

- I'm terribly sorry;

You really want to go this way?

You clearly have me confused

with someone else;

I don't know;

I mean, I'm not great on names;

I should be; I try;

Faces, I'm definitely better;

Faces, I'm like a B, B minus;

Where I'm good, where I really excel,

people I've slept with;

That's been a traditional area of strength

for me;

Look, seriously,

I don't know who you think I am, but; ; ;
