Gone in Sixty Seconds Page #6

ATLEY JACKSON:

Well, well, well ...

And he begins to sing...

ATLEY JACKSON (cont'd)

(ANDY GRIFFITH theme)

Da-doo-doo-doo-da-doo-doo-doo, etc.

(laughs)

Are you kidding me, man -- ?

MEMPHIS:

Hello, Atley ...

ATLEY JACKSON (re: sign)

L.N. ORR. I get it. Clever ...

Memphis studies him...

MEMPHIS:

How's the leg?

ATLEY JACKSON:

Only hurts when I breathe. Lookit

you. Where are Barney Fife and Aunt

Bea hanging out? And Opie ... Where's

Opie at?

He laughs some more ... Chain-lights his cig ...

MEMPHIS:

What are you doing here?

ATLEY JACKSON:

Is there someplace we can talk?

Memphis looks at him...

MEMPHIS:

What about?

ATLEY JACKSON:

About your brother. And the deeeep

sh*t he's in --

INT. TEDDY'S TAVERN - NIGHT

A BARMAID sets down a pitcher of beer and two mugs...

WAITRESS:

There you go --

MEMPHIS:

Thanks, Donna --

She leaves... Atley is staring at him... Memphis shrugs...

ATLEY JACKSON:

It's been a long time, Memphis --

MEMPHIS:

Six years ...

ATLEY JACKSON:

Six years. Sh*t. Time flies, don't it?

Six years ago we were fartin' through

Armani and pissin' Cristal.

Now look at us ...

MEMPHIS:

Tell me about Kip -

Atley takes a sip of his beer,...

ATLEY JACKSON:

He took a job. And he fumbled it.

Now he's jammed-up. Jammed-up bad...

MEMPHIS:

What kind of job... ?

ATLEY JACKSON:

A boost. A big boost ...

MEMPHIS:

A boost? What's Kip doing on a boost?

Atley frowns ... Looks at him...

ATLEY JACKSON:

You're shittin', right?

Clearly Memphis is not ...

ATLEY JACKSON (cont'd)

Kip's become quite the little

crewrunner since you left. He's been

working a low-rent ring for

two years now. You don't talk to

your Ma?

MEMPHIS:

It seems she neglected to mention it

ATLEY JACKSON:

Maybe she don't know. Although I don't

see how that could be. Maybe she didn't

want to upset you -

MEMPHIS:

Don't feel the need to explore my family

dynamics, Atley...

ATLEY JACKSON:

The point is:
Kip's been living the

life. Only he's a wild child. Crazy.

Makes our old behavior seem like

altar boy time. But he fungold this

one so bad, folks around L.B.

are already speakin' about him in

the past tense.

Memphis takes a beat ... Sips at his brew ... Then:

MEMPHIS:

Who was the job for?

ATLEY JACKSON:

Who do you think?

Memphis waits ... In no mood for guessing games ...

ATLEY JACKSON (cont'd)

Calitri, man. Raymond "The Carpenter"

Calitri ... Your favorite and mine ...

Which means nothing to us ... Though the look on Memphis, face

speaks volumes ...

ATLEY JACKSON (cont'd)

I just thought you should know,

man. I kind of had a feeling you

didn't. But I should tell you:

I'm working for him now - The

Carpenter - so if you see him, you

won't mention me coming to get

you... Like I said: I just thought

... I owed you ... And that it was

the right thing to do ...
