Romeo Must Die Page #2

Synopsis: In this modern day Romeo and Juliet, kung fu action star Jet Li plays Romeo to hip-hop singer, Aaliyah Haughton's Juliet. Li is an ex-cop investigating the murder of his brother, who had ties with the Chinese mafia in America. Aaliyah plays the daughter of the American mob boss. Neither side approves of their romance, so, obviously, kung fu action ensues, with a soundtrack by Aaliyah.

bit you in the butt.

You think you're funny.

Got a package for you, Calvin.

I'm laughing because

you think you're funny.

Thanks.

You want a job, Harold?

Open this damn box.

Well, lookie, lookie.

Who sent you a present?

I don't know.

Probably your wife.

There you go again.

Thank you.

- Excuse me.

- Off duty.

Can you take me here?

Can't you understand English?

Two words:
off duty.

How you doing?

This sh*t tight, huh?

This sh*t's tight.

Hey, girl, what's your name?

- said, what's your name?

- Hey.

What? You don't like a big man?

You not knowing. You not knowing.

There's a lot of playground here.

- What's up, Alonso?

- Trish, what's up?

- Just chilling. Getting some albums.

- This it today?

Yeah.

- You want this on your tab?

- Yeah, please.

Thank you.

Ever had a man with a gap in his mouth?

This is my sh*t!

Sh*t!

This is my sh*t right here!

I got something for you right now.

My bad.

Sh*t!

Trish!

Thank goodness. Just drive.

Two words:
off duty.

You know what?

Jesus.

Two words for you, buddy:

on duty, 50 bucks.

Trish!

I'm gonna find you!

I know where you work at!

Please, just do me a favor

and get me out of here.

Who's that?

Nobody.

Where did you learn to drive?

Ahkbar?

Hong Kong.

You gonna start the meter?

Steal a lot of cabs

in Hong Kong?

Want me to pull over?

No, no. Just turn here.

So, Ahkbar, tell me. Ls it true what

they say about Hong Kong?

What's that?

All you guys do kung fu.

Of course.

State law.

Can you break

one of those boards with your head?

Sure.

That I'd have to see.

You must be a very dangerous man.

Are you scared?

No.

Don't take this personal...

...but l've been around more

dangerous guys than you.

Right here's fine.

No charge.

Keep it. L won't call the cops.

I don't want your money.

You seem like a nice guy.

I am.

You should find a new profession.

Stealing cars doesn't fit you.

What's your name?

You think I want you calling me?

I don't have a phone.

Yeah? Well, dead giveaway.

Besides, you drive like sh*t.

How are those acquisitions

coming along?

Progressing real nice, man.

I just have three more deeds

to get signed over, that's all.

Let me be clear.

You don't play around with the NFL.

It's their America, and their deadline

is progressing in less than a week.

I know.

Remember something, Mr. Roth.

A lot of people owned them stores

for 30 years or more.

So what if they need a couple more

days to mull over their decision?

These are tense times right now.

You know what l mean?

Sh*t.

Isaak.

You're murdering yourself.

Golf is a game of finesse, not power.

In that way, it's much like the rest of life.

The key is letting the body work together.
