Lucky Number Slevin Page #3

What?

- You said bad things happen in threes.

You lost your job your apartment was

condemned Kelly was cheating on you

and you got mugged - that makes four

When you're on a roll you're on a roll.

Interesting although I would add

not the ever so clever hold-up man

one hears so much about.

Well he did break my nose.

- But overlooked your suitcase.

Maybe it wouldn't make for a speedy getaway.

True but then there's the matter of your watch.

Pretty fancy.

It's a fake.

- But he didn't know that.

Maybe he didn't see it.

- He saw it. He asked you for the time.

You say this was your third mugging?

Uh...I travel a lot.

Where's Nick?

I don't know. He was supposed to

meet me here. He never showed up.

How did you get in?

- Door was open

Door was open?

- Yeah.

Open or unlocked?

- I don't remember.

You said open.

- Could have been. What was your name again?

Lindsey. I live across the hall.

Oh.

- I came over to borrow a cup of sugar.

Where's your cup?

- I came to borrow a cup of sugar.

If I had a cup I'd have come to borrow sugar.

Touche.

Maybe that's Nick It's right there.

Hello?

Hello?

They hung up.

I have an idea. Have you used the phone

since you've been here?

No except for that.

Sorry wrong number.

That was the Hotel Cheval.

What are you doing?

We know who he called. Who called him?

Columbo says three things...

- Columbo?

Yeah Columbo was this TV detecctive

I know who Columbo is. Yeah.

He looked for three things at a crime scene.

What's there now that wasn't before.

What was there before that isn't now.

And what's been moved.

- Is this a crime scene?

I think Nick'.s in trouble.

- Ah.

Sorry wrong number.

That was the Hotel Cheval again!

So what? He called the hotel

So maybe it's a clue.

A clue to what?

- A clue to what happened to Nick.

We don't know anything did.

- We don't know anything didn't

You're here he's not. The door was open.

Bad things happen where you...

Sh*t. I've got to stop by work.

Just for a couple of hours. I'll come back.

then we can start the investigation.

The investigation?

- Uh-huh. It'll be fun.

OK.

I totally forgot...

Yeah.

Sorry.

May I borrow a cup of sugar?

- What?

I never gave it much thought

until I put up a fresh pot of coffee

I was on my way to the store

and I thought Nick'.. d have sugar.

You tell me your story I leave sugarless.

I come back you put your penis on exhibition.

Although the coffee's probably gone bad

by now I insist on following through.

It's like a Norman Rockwell painting.

What my penis?

No. No the sugar.

Neighbours borrowing sugar from one another

It's very um...Andy Griffith.

Yeah.

That's Andy Griffith.

The penis thing is not very Mayberry.
