The Ice Harvest Page #3

Synopsis: Larceny, lust and lethal behavior. In icebound Wichita, Kansas, it's Christmas Eve, and this year Charlie Arglist just might have something to celebrate. Charlie, an attorney for the sleazy businesses of Wichita, and his unsavory associate, the steely Vic Cavanaugh have just successfully embezzled $2 million from Kansas City boss Bill Guerrard. But the real prize for Charlie is the stunning Renata, who runs the Sweet Cage strip club. Charlie hopes to slip out of town with Renata. But as daylight fades and an ice storm whirls, everyone from Charlie's drinking buddy Pete Van Heuten to the local police begin to wonder just what exactly is in Charlie's Christmas stocking - and the 12 hours of Christmas Eve are filled with surprises.

Hey! You didn't make me your partner.

I am the one who showed you...

how to steal $2 million worth

of Bill Guerrard's money.

Then I showed you how to do it so

he wouldn't know what you'd done...

till it was too late.

What we've done, okay?

Remember that.

What we've done.

And here's the thing

about what we've done.

Mr. Arglist?

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

Left to yourself, you'd

still be on a barstool...

thinking about

how it could be done...

if somebody had the balls

to do it. Which is me.

Don't poke, Vic, okay?

I get it.

Hello.

Yeah.

I know that.

I know that.

I know that, too.

All right,

I gotta get out of here.

So, I'll meet you

at the Velvet Touch at 1:00.

Just like we planned,

all right? Who was that?

Not that it's any

of your f***ing business.

That was my wife.

Thank you.

Thank you, sweetie.

The lovely Gladys, of whom you've

heard me speak over the years...

with tenderness

and affection.

She was wondering

if I'm gonna be home...

in time for midnight worship.

I thought that's who you were...

Oh, having dinner with? No, no.

See, Gladys is

on the Subway Diet.

She has a couple of foot-longs

at lunch, couple at dinner.

Buys her clothes

from Omar the Tentmaker.

But perhaps I'm being unkind.

Anyway, let me out of here.

Hey, Vic.

Yeah?

If you wouldn't mind, you know,

in case we get separated...

tell me where the money is.

Excuse me, Mr. Arglist.

That's hilarious.

He's something else.

Yeah.

Mr. Arglist, I wonder

if I might have a word?

Sure. Vic!

Mr. Arglist, I'm sorry to bother you.

I believe

you can help us.

Peter Van Heuten is a

friend of yours, right?

Yes.

He's in no shape to drive...

Charlie f***ing Arglist!

Yo ho ho, mo-fo!

What are you doing here, man?

Hiya, Pete.

Merry Christmas!

It's good to see you!

Good to see you!

What are you doing here, man?

The real people are in there.

Let's go in here.

Everybody, I want you to meet...

Listen up, a friend of mine...

This is Charlie Arglist, the

most talented and handsome...

mob lawyer in all of Kansas.

I really wish you

wouldn't do that. Come on.

Come on. That was Vic Cavanaugh you

were hanging out with back there.

So what? Hey, let me ask you a question.

Is it true that one time...

he cut the hand off of somebody

who stuck their fingers...

up the twazzallah of a

dancer over at Tease-O-Rama?

Look around at the bar.

Do you see a lot

of one-armed men in here?

Because if they chopped off

the hand...

of every guy who tried

that with a stripper...

half the men in Wichita

would be wearing hooks.

Are you trying to tell me that these

are just normal guys you work for?

What are you doing here?
