Guns for Hire Page #3

Synopsis: Beatle is a quirky loner who refuses to live by society's rules. Her business cards read "Towing/Assassination," and she even has a hit man infomercial to go along with it. Her only human contact is with her psychiatrist and the stripper/hooker she employs once a week. Everything changes the night she meets Athena Klendon, a suicidal blonde with a secret. With a demented killer on their tail, courtesy of Athena's crooked former employer, the two quickly strike a bargain. Athena will change her life insurance policy to reflect Beatle as the beneficiary in exchange for her own execution. And while they wait for the paperwork to come through, Beatle will provide room and board and get some extra help on her infomercial. The two have no idea that Detective Holt has been on their case reviewing their every move. Just when he thinks he's got Beatle pinned beyond a shadow of a doubt, this comedic mystery takes a wild and unexpected turn.

and I was told that you do.

Is there some sort of humor

in the fact

that it's now almost

four o'clock in the afternoon

and for all I know you've towed my

f***ing car already,

and you can't help me out

with ten f***ing cents.

When I'm already paying $819

to you goddamn highway robber.

Where's the f***ing punchline, a**hole?

Because I'm obviously

not too quick on the pickup today.

No.

Sorry, you have to pay the whole thing.

Does anyone have a dime I can borrow?

It doesn't have to be a dime, um...

Two nickles?

Nickle and five pennies?

' - AFR/body? Please?

- ' Sorry.

Here, senorita.

- Thank you. Thank you.

- De nada.

Look, I'll grant you, I do enjoy

a little artistic flare here and there.

It helps me fill in the occasional gap,

you know What I mean?

I actually think that

it makes things more interesting.

For example, the DMV may have

been a bit more like...

Seriously, we don't take checks.

As opposed to my version,

which you have to admit

is far more entertaining, right?

Here you are, picking up a payment.

- Payment for What?

- For a hit, of course.

- Because I'm an assassin.

- Well, aren't you?

What does the evidence say?

You knovv, that park has had

security surveillance cameras

in operation for over a decade?

And they take a shot every 45 seconds.

And please if you will,

Beatle, note the time stamp right there.

You've got to f***ing

love those things, right?

They're absolutely incredible

at placing a certain individual

in a certain spot, at a certain time,

Doing a certain thing.

And in some cases,

committing a certain crime.

- It's certainly detailed.

- Yeah.

So While I may be guilty of peppering in

a little artistic flare here and there.

The one thing that you can be sure of

is that where the facts are concerned,

the parts that really matter,

I absolutely have all the evidence

I need to take this to a court of law.

Care to explain this receipt to me?

I'll tell you What I think happened.

I'll tell you What I think happened.

Kyle's car breaks down

and he calls a towing company.

You. You show up, you see

he's giving her a hard time.

He's got his hands around her neck,

and he's strangling her.

So you decide to knock him out, right.

What did you use?

A tire iron, a wrench?

Come on, Beatle, am I getting warm?

Beatle Boyin Towing/Assassination?

You the mighty assassin,

you bust up Kyle,

and you Whisk away

your damsel in distress, Athena.

I've got to be getting

warm now, right, Beatle?

I don't know.

- You know What I think, Beatle?

- What?

I think you were sweet on Athena.

So, how much do you charge'?

- Depends.

- On What?

On What you're looking for.
