Romeo Must Die Page #5

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.

Mostly when l'm not around.

Could you talk to him?

That's Maurice and his gang.

Look, Ahkbar.

- think it's-

- By the way, my name is Han.

Well, Han, look.

These guys find you, you're gonna have

serious problems. Go out the window.

No. I like this way.

It's your funeral.

Dim sum good. You call again.

Dim sum all time. Thanks.

Hey, hey.

What you doing bothering

Miss O'Day?

He's the delivery boy, moron.

Okay, stay here.

I done told you,

my name is Maurice, all right?

I'm sorry. L keep forgetting, boo.

Hey, dog.

- You smell something?

- don't smell nothing.

- Where's the take-out?

- You hungry, baby?

Cover the front.

Hey, Dim Sum!

You's a real funny man!

Mr. O'Day don't let things

slide lightly.

He also don't like the wrong element

around his daughter.

It's up to me not to let it happen.

Kick his ass.

You ain't the only one

that knows some sh*t.

Get up! Get him!

He's headed around the front!

Who that motherf***er?

Great country.

Free cars.

Sun Tzu was lost to us by

assassination less than a month ago.

A grocery store was firebombed

and his wife killed.

With all respect, Ch'u, any of us

could be killed at any time...

...overlord or not.

- Yes.

- Yeah.

We are not the blacks, Victor.

Our loyalty to each other

is unquestioned.

At least let us strike harder.

Show our true strength.

We will only do that

when it serves us best.

Han.

Let Kai worry about this.

Han. Han, I don't want to lose another son.

The old man didn't think you'd make it.

And you?

I knew you would.

It's been a long time, Han.

Good to see you.

Tell me...

...what happened that night?

He got in a fight in a black club.

Threats had been made. They got Po

the same evening, before l could find him.

Why there?

He wouldn't tell me.

Your brother could be a loose cannon,

but he didn't deserve this.

Why fight with blacks?

Well, the waterfront's only

four square miles.

Half of the businesses belong to us...

...the other half to them.

It was just a matter of time.

I was afraid prison would

make you soft.

People don't get soft in prison.

Pretty good.

- Here you go.

- Thank you so much.

You must be hungry.

Think you could find something

better to do than creep up on me?

And besides, aren't you

in the wrong part of town?

I went to your store,

they tell me you were here.

Hold on a minute.

Come on, kids.

All right, all right. Who wants what?

Hey.

I wanted the yellow one.

Give him the yellow one. He's the baby.

Stop! You want one?

Sure. L want the yellow one.

Well, you get a green one.

Did you talk to your brother?

What made you think l'd talk to my brother?

Hey, time-out.

Ti- What? Calling a time-out...
