Romeo Must Die Page #7

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.

get to run with the show?

Don't worry, baby. Your turn's coming.

Sorry, Mr. O'Day.

These things are never easy.

Wait. Wait.

- Don't look at this. Come on.

- No!

Look at me. Please!

Get away from me!

No!

You had something to do with this.

- What you want me to say?

- Go to hell.

- Go to hell.

- What do you want?

Trisha...

You're as responsible as those people

who did this to my brother.

Don't come near me. L hate you.

You might as well have thrown him

out that window yourself.

That was my boy, Mac.

I know.

They killed my boy.

We're at the crossroads now, lsaak.

I'm not gonna pretend l know

what you're feeling.

But l know you gotta keep it

stitched up until business is done.

The people who did this...

...I promise you on my life...

...they will be knocked out of the box

in due time.

I'll make sure of it.

What happened?

You know, once, Colin and I did something

we thought would really be funny.

He hid out front...

...while I ran to tell my mom he'd been hurt.

Hit by a car

or something really bad like that.

And when she came,

he was supposed to jump out.

You know, surprise her...

...and we'd all fall out

and have this great laugh.

Me and my mom always loved

a good laugh.

I was about 8 or 9.

Colin was, like, 11.

I don't remember

how we came up with it...

...but, sure enough, l start

screaming and yelling...

...and my mom comes running out of

the house. She's, like, "Trish, what's wrong?"

And when l told her, l mean...

...the look on her face.

Even when Colin popped up to show it

was a joke, she couldn't stop crying.

She just held him close.

Clutched him, you know?

I was just a baby. L didn't get it

then, but I get it now.

Tell me.

- What happened?

- Colin's dead.

And no matter how hard l cry...

...he's not gonna pop up

and show me it was just a joke.

I'm sorry.

I need your help.

I gotta put this thing together

just as much as you do now.

Gentlemen, we are ready

to approach the NFL.

I don't think any of the other bids

are even in contention.

Our package is staggering.

We've got the money,

the organization...

...waterfront real estate

seconds from the bridge.

God Himself couldn't have designed

a better spot for a stadium.

Yeah. That's right. You know me well.

If I say there's caviar on

the mountain, you bring the crackers.

I don't get it.

These are waterfront properties.

They must mean something.

My brother didn't want them found.

Yeah, but why?

Is this the place?

Yeah. Lt says 44 Driggs Road.

Is anybody here?

Get down! Get down!

You're Chinese.

No sh*t!

I can't hit a girl.

In America, if a girl's kicking your ass,

you do not have to be a gentleman.

Damn. Look at that!
