Romeo Is Bleeding Page #3

Synopsis: Detective Jack Grimaldi (Gary Oldman) takes us through his shattered life after encountering the most deadly (and deceptive) criminal he has ever had to deal with. It doesn't help that Grimladi is playing both sides against the middle. When he encounters Demarkov (Lena Olin) he thinks he can play her as he has all the other women in his life...including his wife. But Demarkov knows Jack better than he knows himself. She plays him mercilessly, all the while threatening to kill him when she tires of the game.

Knock yourself out.

It's not polite to stare.

How'd you like to become

a rich man, Sergeant?

Well, I've already got my health.

You know what it feels like?

I mean, when it's just sitting

in your hand.

$200,000.

You take the first bill

off the pile, a 20 or a 50...

You're never gonna have

to pay taxes on it.

Nothin' feels like that.

Does it?

What would you do with

all that money, Sergeant?

It's better than sex, isn't it?

Federal agents Cage and Skouras.

Nice work, Sergeant.

Well, I guess that

about says it all, don't it?

He could hear her laughing

all the way down the hall.

He wondered how smart she was.

Smart enough to be on top, I guess.

Well, he'd be the one laughing soon.

So what? Romeo, did she confess?

Yeah, she's at the Niagara, room 310.

I left her there with the feds.

And remember, Sal,

she's the only one who gets hit.

Hey, Tony.

You hungry?

- Yeah.

- Hmm?

Mmm-hmm.

Come on.

How was your day, baby?

Fine.

- Did the refrigerator guy come?

- Yeah.

- How much?

- $86.

How long was he here?

Oh, about 15 minutes.

What is that? That's five,

six hundred dollars a day or somethin'?

Me? You know, I get kicked,

shot at, run over for what?

42,000 and change.

Here's a guy who makes $180,000

for changing a washer.

You win. What is it?

Chicken Francois, Jack.

I wish you'd stop reading those magazines.

Whatever happened to meat and potatoes?

I don't know, Jack. You tell me.

- That's cute.

- I got you.

Here. I got you something.

They got a new one.

Okay, now, either I was really good,

Jack, or you were really bad.

How come you never show me

those pictures you take?

- Your sister called today.

- Mmm-hmm?

Yeah. You know Marcy?

I don't know nobody named Marcy.

She's the nurse your sister works with

down at the hospital.

She was caught giving

this doctor a blow job in the OR.

He was taking out an appendix.

Is that all you talk about? Huh?

God, you women are awful.

Oh, really, Jack.

And why's that?

What did you say?

You heard me.

Jesus, Jack. You look like

you just been arrested.

When I get good at this,

I thought I'd do weddings.

- Weddings. You want weddings?

- Yeah.

- You want weddings?

- Yeah.

- You want weddings?

- Yeah.

There's your honeymoon!

Maybe it was just his imagination,

but whenever he'd pull up

that plate, he'd hear a sucking sound.

It started out small,

with the first 65 grand.

And then it got bigger.

Pretty soon, it was the only thing he heard.

Pretty soon, all he could think

about was feeding the hole.

He didn't think about when he was a kid.

He didn't think about

the guys who he started with,

who were still on the up-and-up.
