"JACK THE SNACK"

"FIRST DRAFT"

BY: THE GOOSE

STARTED: (November 16th 2002)
   Finished (December 28th 2002)






Drum music begins playing lightly, then gets louder, as the credits begin to appear.  Then the title.

OPEN UP ON:-

A SMALL AMERICAN TOWN-AFTERNOON

A Volkswagen camper-van is going through a small-town.  The camper-van is black, with flame streaks up the side.  It pulls into a small bar car-park. 

Two men get out and walk inside.  They are Bill McDuffy & John Furlough.

INSIDE

They have ordered drinks and they are standing at the bar talking absolute rubbish.

MCDUFFY
(British)
You ever read "Virgins marry"?
It's about some dick-head who's chasing this girl around a town a...

FURLOUGH
(British)
(Interrupts)
No it's not, it's a good book, you're making
It sound like ****.  It's about a girl
Who is very sensitive, and she's been attacked twice by the Same guy, and she meets a sensitive copper, and he
Promises to help her catch the man,
They do, then he attacks her, bu...  

MCDUFFY
(Interrupts)
Wow-wow, that's bull****,
Absolute bull****.  She never
Does that.  Anyway who cares?

FURLOUGH
Look that isn't the story.
I've got the book in the back of
The camper-van, 
It's  about a nice girl who
meets a sensitive boy. And as I said, he ends up
attacking her.  And this really ****** her
her, so she throws him 
off, he tries to attack her again.
But she beats him up.
Oh and it's called "Virgins never marry".

MCDUFFY
(Absent-mindedly)
Which one's "Virgins never marry"? 
I can't remember it.



FURLOUGH
You haven't even read it?
What!?! It was a bestseller, no.1 
For two whole months.
By some guy called 
"Barry Rumple".
I hardly ever read these
Bull**** romance novels.
But even I've read that!
Anyway I though you liked
Books? 

MCDUFFY
Look, I never said I hadn't seen it
But I haven't read it.
I prefer pigfucking westerns
Or horrors, not that bull****,
 stuff like romance.
I hate romance, unless it's happening
To me, and that doesn't happen much, 
Does it? 

FURLOUGH
Yeh, I hate romance, too.

The Barman, who has been listening to the whole 
Conversation pipes up.

BARMAN
I love romance, I live for it,
Where's the world without romance?
I mean, romance.  I just love it.
Ever heard of Mills & Boon?
I got the whole collection.  I 
Mean that just rocks, doesn't it?
Mills & Boon, Mills & Boon.
I have read "Virgins never marry" but it's
Crap, dude.

MCDUFFY/FURLOUGH
Shut up!


MCDUFFY
Oh, Barry Rumple writes 
Westerns and romances doesn't he?
I remember him. His westerns are
Real good.

FURLOUGH
(After a long drink)
What?

MCDUFFY
I found one of his books up in my loft.
It was called "Marshall Mike's star"
Found it under some newspaper, and it
Was on top of a whatjumacall it?
Um---alarm-clock, that's it. It's
About a lonely Rancher who is attacked
By Indians and...

FURLOUGH
I don't wanna know.

MCDUFFY
Anyway, "Virgin's never marry" isn't
About a sensitive girl
And a sensitive man, I remember
Watching the T.V serialisation.
He has a real big
Machine-gun,
And a big
****!

FURLOUGH
Oh the Telly series.
The theme-tune was
Just 
!An ugly
Little sod,
Ugly, ugly, ugly,
Real, damn ugly".



 MCDUFFY
That's song's pants.
How many times did they have sex on screen?

FURLOUGH
(Smoothly)
A lot.

MCDUFFY
The woman's real horny,
But as you said he was
As ugly as you-know-what.
I like the shoot-out and the
End.  The guy-Joolz-or
Whatever he's called.
Shoots the drug-dealer,
Then ratta-tat-tat,
Shoots some of the other 
Druggys, then shoots
The main girl, herself.
Then as the credits run,
He shoots himself and
Says "IN THE BRAIN".
Oh, and did you see
His face when he climaxes,
Wow-wee.


FURLOUGH
Tilley, Tilley Mahoney, that's
Her name-in it?

MCDUFFY
She hates drugs, she really
Does, she hates the Drug-dealer,
And the guy-Laurence.
She's a killer, too.
At the start she
Is on a street,
And the guy tries to
attack her, but she hits
Him over the head with
A rock, and kills him.
The Drug-dealer sees her.
She begs him not
To tell anyone,
But he's a cold-hearted
fool, so he says
"Only if you work for me".
So she lives the life 
of a Druggy, poor woman!


BARMAN
No, that's not true.
That isn't true!
That's wrong, dude.

MCDUFFY
(Annoyed)
You're wrong. I'm right! What
the Damn do you know about it
anyway? You're still reading
your Pig******* Mills & Bone, or
whatever the **** it
may be!

BARMAN
Jackass! You don't know
The first thing about
The brilliant romance.
And it's Boon.  Not bone,
Now if you continue
Dissing romance, I'm gonna
Take my sawn-off shotgun 
From down here and blow your
Brains out the other sidea' your head.

Furlough grabs him by the neck,
And McDuffy makes to punch him. But
he grabs a Mills & Boon novel instead,
The novel was sitting near Barman.

MCDUFFY
Give me this thing.

BARMAN
What the hell do you think you're
doin? Give me my book back!

MCDUFFY
I'm sick of your damn Mills & Bone.

He throws it across the pub, then turns to 
Furlough.

FURLOUGH
As I was saying, the T.V serial was
Brilliant.  I've got all five episodes
On tape.

BARMAN
Shut up, talk about something
Different!

MCDUFFY
(To the Barman)
For the past fifteen minutes now,
You've ***** you damn
Pig****** voice through my ears,
And if I had any sense I'd shoot
You, with your shotgun!

BARMAN
What?

MCDUFFY
You're as annoying as hell.
I hate your ass.

BARMAN
Go get that book. And
Give it to me and maybe
I won't get my friends on
You.

FURLOUGH
Go Pig******' get
It yourself

BARMAN
I don't wanna
Get it. I want
You to, you doofus.

FURLOUGH
(Gives him the finger)
Kiss my ***

BARMAN
Well I'll get my mates
On y'.

MCDUFFY
(Slowly)
I A-M N-O-T S-C-A-R-E-D!

FURLOUGH
Yeh, we'd kick
Your bullocks backwards.

MCDUFFY
Did you see that
Film which was on
Last week, it's called
Um-"Neighbours of the swan-house".

FURLOUGH
Yeah, it's great in-it?

MCDUFFY
Did you see that bit, when
That guy with the Blonde
Hair and shades, shoved a 
Stick of dynamite in that
Gangster's pants?

FURLOUGH
Yeh, yeh (laughs) Did you see
The film after it? "Night of
The living dead?", y'know, the
Re-make.  With that guy off
"The Rock" in it.  That
was just brutal.
Shame the black-guy died
In the end.  The woman
Survived, but she was awful!

MCDUFFY
Got the DVD of it.

FURLOUGH
DVD? I didn't know
It was out on DVD.

MCDUFFY
Yeh.  I thought that bald-guy shouldn't
Have survived till nearly the end, zombie's
Shoulda got him before.

FURLOUGH
The woman shot him in the
End. 

MCDUFFY
I know. I did see it,
Straight in the head.
I musta missed the part
When the black-guy died first.
I was sure he survived.
Then again I haven't seen
It since '99.
The zombie's look 
Freaky, though.

BARMAN
You like rubbish films.

MCDUFFY
Shut your face,
******.  I really hate people,
Like you, I really do,
Butting in, why don't
You talk to your friends.
(pause) If they exist.

A very pretty, Bikini-wearing Blonde enters, and stands
Next to McDuffy, ogling him. He doesn't notice.
Suddenly a drunken, slurred voice speaks.

MAN (O.S)
(To the woman)
Hey!  Hot-Girl!

She turns round, and sees,
Four mean hell's angels...  They all ogle 

The Blonde's
butt, apart from the leader, who stares at McDuffy.

The Barman stares coldly at the men.

BARMAN
Get the hell outa here.

Biker#1- called Rod, stares at the Barman 

ROD.
Make us, Pigface.

The Barman pulls his sawn-off shotgun from underneath the table, and tries to shoot Rod.  But another hell's angel, Duncan grabs the gun.

FURLOUGH/MCDUFFY
HEY!

Rod then directs his attention to McDuffy, Furlough and the Blonde.


ROD
Wow...think you're the tough-un's round 'ere?

McDuffy licks his lips, and Furlough rolls up his 
Shirt-sleeves, they know these bikers mean trouble.

The Blonde tries to run off, but Rod grabs her.

ROD
Who're you, Babe.  Wanna
Get hot wimme'?

Everyone laughs. She ignores him.

ROD
Huh?


BIKER#3
I think she's ignoring you, Roddie.

ROD
Excuse me, but I'm talking to you.
Are you ignoring me?

The Blonde looks at him.

BLONDE
Now why would I want to ignore
An arsehole like you?

Everyone laughs, but Rod who growls menacingly.

ROD
You know, I think I need to
Teach you a lesson, bitch.

Rod grabs her, and is about to punch her.
-WHEN-
Furlough runs forward and  pushes Rod, it's

Enough to knock him off her, he gives a snort of anger, and turns to Furlough.

(Now action fans-this is just a taster of what action is about to come!)

FURLOUGH
Leave the girl, you idiotic ****-tub!

Rod tries to punch him---Furlough ducks, and kicks him between the balls, 

then punches him.
Rod lets out a painful groan.

ROD
You gonna pay for that, fool.

Rod charges to him, whipping out a flick-knife.
The Blonde screams and looks at Furlough.

BLONDE
Run, run! He'll kill you!

(Furlough shakes his head)

Rod takes a furious drunken slash at him -

Furlough grabs his hand, and throws him over
His head, still holding his hand.

Then he slams the blade down into the felt of a pool table before delivering a
Series of kicks that send Rod spinning and crashing into a table.  The patrons of the table jump away.
Biker#1 swings his leg at 

Furlough in a high sweeping-kick.  Furlough grabs his foot and throws the man in the air, he hits his head on a light-bulb, and it blows up in sparks.  

Duncan lunges forward and grabs McDuffy around the waist, McDuffy tries to shake him off, but they trip over and crash to the ground.

The smaller man, McDuffy immediately pushes Duncan off of him and jumps to his feet - as Duncan staggers up McDuffy chuckles and
lands a axe-kick to the spine which sends Duncan reeling backwards.
   
Duncan still won't give up, he grabs Rod's bloody flick-knife, then jumps at McDuffy, McDuffy is small, he only stands at 5'8 and Duncan is about 6'1.

But this makes no difference as---
Duncan grabs McDuffy round the face, and tries to stab him. But McDuffy brutally bites his hand.  

DUNCAN
AIEE!

McDuffy punches him across the nose, a mixture of blood and bogies fall from his nose.  McDuffy bites his tongue, and lands a powerful spinning scissors kick on Duncan's neck.  Duncan shouts. 

 McDuffy scratches his chin, and punches him five times.  Duncan falls to the ground.  Battered and bruised.  A Wino is near him, The Wino is anxious to get into the fight, so he grabs a Whiskey bottle and tries to smash it over McDuffy's head.  

McDuffy grabs the Wino's hand, and crushes it in his vice-grip.  The Wino drops to the ground, still clutching his bottle, he tries to kick McDuffy, but McDuffy throws him across the floor.

MCDUFFY
Wow...Wee

Biker#2 approaches from behind Furlough, but Furlough backhands him full across his ugly face 
Biker#3 hits Furlough across the jaw - Furlough
Clutches his jaw, and punches him full across the face.   

Biker#2 gets up, and tries to stab Furlough with a pocket-knife.  Furlough grabs the small-weapon and punches Biker#2 across the chest, this doesn't drop the man, but it makes him yelp in pain.  Furlough takes the whiskey-bottle from the Wino's hand and smashes it over 

Biker#2's head, this drops him.  Biker#3 jumps on the Furlough's back.  Biker#3 is about 6'1, but Furlough dwarfs him, at his immense height of 6'8. Furlough backs into the wall, and Biker#3 slips down it.  Furlough grabs him by the throat, and choke-slams him through a pool-table.

Rod springs to life brandishing a mean looking pool cue- people stand clear-

Rod charges McDuffy, and throws the Pool Cue at him.  The small man smoothly catches it, and throws it back at him.

MCDUFFY
Wanna play catch?

Rod clumsily, charges McDuffy, but he slips over, and ends up at McDuffy's feet.  McDuffy grabs the Pool Cue and snaps it in half.  Rod is too punch-drunk and 

alcohol-drunk to realize that this guy's too tough for him, either that or he doesn't want to risk losing his reputation.  And he realizes that the crowd are cheering him on, so he leaps at McDuffy, 

McDuffy was expecting this, and with lightning fast reflexes, he claps both Pool-Cue halves into either side of Rod's face.  So Rod trips and crashes into a heap on the floor.

One of the Bikers weakly attacks him, McDuffy back-flips onto a table, and kicks the Biker across the head.
Duncan sums up the last of his strength and jumps at Furlough, Furlough grapples with him, and both men crash to the ground-

Duncan hits his head on the floor and falls unconscious.  
Both men stand back to back.  And stare hard at the watchers.  They all cheer loudly.  

Furlough & McDuffy hit a high-five.  And wink to each other.  McDuffy looks to the Blonde, but she runs off.  McDuffy & Furlough shrug.

FURLOUGH
Hey, let's go get a meal at the café.

MCDUFFY
Good idea.

BARMAN
Hey! Hey! Whatta' bout the mess in my bar?

FURLOUGH
(Refers to the Hell's angels)
Charge 'em, they started it.

The two exit.

BIKER#3
Little & Large!

FURLOUGH
(O.S)
I can hear you.

MARVIN'S CAFÉ-LATE AFTERNOON

Furlough & Barton are sitting in the tiny café, there are three tables, and they are sitting between the 1st and the 3rd tables.
A plump, gum-chewing waitress walks up to them.

MCDUFFY
(Quietly)
You watch how stupid those waitresses are.

WAITRESS
(Didn't hear him)
What would y' like, boys?

MCDUFFY
Um, a big plate of ****.

WAITRESS
(Absent-mindedly)
Would you like that with fries or chicken-nuggets.

Furlough sniggers.

MCDUFFY
Actually I'll have a plate of chicken and chips, oh...and a packet of pork-scratchings.

WAITRESS
Sure (writes it down)
And you?

FURLOUGH
A bowel of **** and chips.

WAITRESS
Right.

She walks off.

MCDUFFY
Ha! You actually ordered it?

FURLOUGH
Why not?

MCDUFFY
Ha.

FURLOUGH
I wonder if she'll bring it.
Do you think she will?
I mean, I'll be
Pretty *****-off if
She does.

MCDUFFY
Well you did order it.
I've heard stuff about
This place.  It's a
Weird-place, two
People claim to have
Been abducted by
Aliens here.  

GRUFF VOICE
(O.S)
Yeh, you must be the
Aliens.  You're new
Round here. And you're ugly.

McDuffy & Furlough look up, and for the first time,
They become aware that someone has been standing above
Them.  He has a bald head, 
with a red hair-band 
round it, he has a thin orange-waistcoat, behind it, is a flabby stomach and muscular arms.  He is also wearing ripped jeans. 

FURLOUGH
Who might you be?

GRUFF BLOKE
Xander Kennedy.
Yeh, I was just joking
About the ugly thing, okay?

MCDUFFY
Right, and what d'you want
With us? You're not
Asking for a fight, are you?
'Coz if you are, then I'm
warning you, we just had one,
and I was on form, (indicating Furlough)
and so was he.

KENNEDY
No, I ain't startin' nothin',
Unless you are?

FURLOUGH
We don't wanna
But we will if we
Have to.

KENNEDY
Yeh, yeh, whatever.
I like the look
Of you two, dudes.
D'you like the look of
Me?

He sits down heavily, next to Furlough.

KENNEDY
(Cont'd)
Well do ya?

FURLOUGH
In what way?

MCDUFFY
We're not bent-if that's what you mean?

KENNEDY
Ha.  Yeh, I like you, little dude.
But I wanna
Ask you a favour...

FURLOUGH
Stop talking about
It-and tell us what
It is.

MCDUFFY
We're dying to know.

KENNEDY
Well as I was saying,
Wow, (to McDuffy) nice leather-
Jacket.

MCDUFFY/FURLOUGH
(Annoyed)
Just get on with it.

KENNEDY
I own a nightclub,
Called "Jack The Snack".
And I need a couple a' tough
Guys like ya-selves, to be bouncers 
For me.  Ah' mean, ya don't have to.
But drinks-and babes would be on the house.
Ya see a certain gang keeps causin' trouble,
Y'know smashin' up stuff.  And they're
Losin' me money.  Will ya help me?

McDuffy looks a Furlough, they both grin.

MCDUFFY
How much?

KENNEDY
I dunno, err,
Twenty pound an hour,
Workin' hours from
8:00 P.M to 2:00 A.M.
Y'know there's pole-dancers,
And all that kinda' ****.

MCDUFFY
Well, we'd
Get $120 by the
End of the night.
Whadda' bout it, John?

FURLOUGH
G'on then.

KENNEDY
Thanks, guys.
See ya there.

He walks off.

FURLOUGH
Why couldn't he
Give us directions?

MCDUFFY
We'll just find our way there.

FURLOUGH
Yeh, I could find
My way anywhere, if I
Could smell $120 in the
Air!

They both laugh.

MCDUFFY
Now, where's this 
meal got
To? 

FULOUGH
Kennedy was big, why
Couldn't he do it?

MCDUFFY
Someone's gotta' run the
Place.

FURLOUGH
Pole-dancers, mm.

MCDUFFY
Free babes, mm.

MCDUFFY/FURLOUGH
FREE DRINK!

They begin laughing again, obviously 
They're in a happy mood.

The waitress comes up, with two plates.

WAITRESS
Sorry, we ran outa fresh-****, so I
Got you the same as him.

Furlough shrugs his shoulders, and begins to tuck in.
She hands McDuffy the bill, he pays her, there and then, and gives her a $50 tip! 

Her eyes open, and she kisses him on the cheek, and runs off.

FURLOUGH
(Shocked)
Why give her
$50?

MCDUFFY
Well, we're gonna earn
Some red-hot dosh tonight,
Aren't we?

FURLOUGH
Yeh.  We sure as
Hell are.  That Kennedy,
Guy seems suspicious, he
Might be a Drug-dealer.

MCDUFFY
Listen, John-you think everyone's a Drug-dealer.

FURLOUGH
I said he "MIGHT" be
One. 

Furlough and McDuffy have finished their meals already!

MCDUFFY
C'mon, I need
To buy something at the newsagents.

They exit.  The camper-van is parked on a double yellow-line.  A parking ticket is on the windscreen.  McDuffy shrugs his shoulders, and puts it onto the car in front.

  Furlough opens the back, and takes out two different number-plates and swaps round.

MCDUFFY
They'll never know. 

He puts on his leather driving-gloves.  They drive a little way up the road, to "JAMIE'S NEWSAGENTS".

FURLOUGH
You go in, I'll stay here.

MCDUFFY
Right.

NEWSAGENTS

McDuffy takes eight different porn-mags off the shelves and gives them to the newsagent.  A man is hovering in the background.  

McDuffy pays, and he is about to go, when the man draws a Beretta and aims it at the Newsagent.

ROBBER
This is a stick-up,
Gimme' all the money, you
Got in that till.
(Turns to McDuffy)
Empty your pockets,
I'll take your money too.

He turns to the Newsagent.

ROBBER
Hurry up!

He turns back to McDuffy, but finds himself staring into the barrel of a giant Magnum .44 revolver, which is held by McDuffy. 
 
The Robber jumps back, and the newsagent punches him across the jaw.  

McDuffy winks at him, he
Hands the newsagent the gun, and he realizes that it's a toy! Both men snigger.

NEWSAGENT
Here, take the Magazines for free.

He hands him back his money.

MCDUFFY
Cheers.

He exits.

THAT NIGHT-7:42

A taxi is parked near a small-alleyway.  Furlough & McDuffy
Are in the back-seat, a mean looking-Cabby drives.

CABBY
The club's down there,
(holds his hand out)
Money?

Furlough hands him the cash.

MCDUFFY
Pick us up at 2:30 A.M, okay?

CABBY
No way! I ain't
Pickin' no-one up 
At that time.

MCDUFFY
Actually I
Wouldn't wanna
Be stuck in
A taxi, with
A pratt like you driving,
We'll walk.

They exit.  The Cabby scowls at their retreating forms.

CABBY
Poofs.

McDuffy & Furlough head down the dark-alley.  A man is kneeling near a wall, smoking weed.

MCDUFFY
Hey!

Furlough grabs the cigarette and stubs it out.

FURLOUGH
Don't smoke weed! Okay?

The smoker runs at them, wielding a club.  But he runs straight into Furlough's iron fist.  

NIGHTCLUB ENTRANCE-NIGHT

It's a small door, they reach the door.  Kennedy greets them.

KENNDY
Phew! Glad you're here.  Anyone causes trouble, punch 'em, I'll pay y' a bonus.

MCDUFFY
Cheers.

FURLOUGH
Yeh, thanks.

KENNEDY
You stay there-I'll bring y' a drink, whadda' y' want?

FURLOUGH
Err, Tetley's.

MCDUFFY
Budweiser.

KENNEDY
Right, I'll bring 'em out.

He walks into the club.  McDuffy rubs his eye.  Furlough begins chewing on a wad of gum. He offers
McDuffy a stick, he gladly accepts. 

 Suddenly a man appears, his name is Triggs.

TRIGGS
Lemme' in.

MCDUFFY
You gotta' pass?

TRIGGS
No, why? Lemme' in.

FURLOUGH
Listen, you need a pass to get into this club.

TRIGGS
I ain't got one.

FURLOUGH
Well **** off then.

TRIGGS
No! Lemme'

Triggs spits at Furlough.

FURLOUGH
Right, that does it.

Suddenly two men come from behind Triggs. They are DJ Hotz & Reynold Baker.  

DJ HOTZ
Let us in.

FURLOUGH
Pass?

BAKER
We ain't got one!

FURLOUGH
Simple enough, no pass,
No go.

They begin to laugh.  And spit at Furlough and McDuffy.
Triggs draws a 9mm.

Furlough lunges and grabs Baker's wrist - McDuffy delivers a few mad 

blows to Baker, Baker crashes to the ground.  Furlough 
kicks Triggs' gun to the ground, but
Triggs scrambles for the gun - Furlough STOMPS on his wrist.

Triggs shouts as Hotz jumps Furlough from behind
Furlough bashes him and then flips him into a dumpster.
Triggs staggers up but McDuffy grabs him by the arm and twists him over his head.  Hotz, Triggs & Baker get to their feet and rush off.

  Just as seven punks come down the road.  Archer is the leader, a small Chinese-man, with bright-pink dyed hair.  Mugz, a green-headed punk, with a spiky-mohiccan.  Doll, a bald but huge guy clutching a baseball-bat.  Roberto, a punk, with two lines of brown fuzzy hair, which makes an "X".  Jagu, a black man with an afro and a machete.  Wilmot & Jameson,
Two Blonde Siamese twins.  DJ Hotz, Triggs and Baker are
Behind them.

ARCHER
(Bad English)
Let uz' in.

MCDUFFY
Gotta' pass?

ARCHER
Pass? We don't need no pass.  We royalty.

FURLOUGH
No pass---no goin' in.

ARCHER
Doll.

Doll rushes forwards, and swings with his baseball bat, this catches Furlough in the chest, and he is knocked into the night-club.  

McDuffy turns to Furlough, but when he turns back to the punks, Doll hits him.  McDuffy tries to fight them, but he is knocked to the ground, and they begin kicking him in the ribs.  Furlough staggers out.  Archer runs up the side of the wall, and tries to karate kick Furlough, but with one hand on his bloody chest, 

he manages to grab Archer's leg and throws him into the punks. The remaining punks grab their wounded and run off.

ARCHER
(Painfully)
We'll be back...AAGH-SHIT! IT HURTS!

Furlough pulls his shirt up and we see that there is a small cut there.  Kennedy appears.

KENNEDY
Oh! Have they gone?
Sorry I didn't come
Sooner.  I got
Talking and didn't
Realize until on of my 
Friends said that
The bouncers were in trouble.
Are you okay?

MCDUFFY
Yeh, just bruised...

FURLOUGH
And cut.

KENNEDY
Well, everyone's
Here, who should be, 
So why not
Come in?

FURLOUGH
You haven't
Forgot our
Free beer,
And free women?

KENNEDY
No, I sure haven't.
Come in.

McDuffy & Furlough head into the club, it is a small place.  About fifty people are there, three pole-dancers are well, "pole-dancing", and there's a bar, with two barmaids and a Barman, a short fat bald Irishman called Bugs.
 
BUGS
(Irish)
Oo're these people?

KENNEDY
John Furlough's the big
One, Bill McDuffy's the small
One.

MCDUFFY
Average height,
Actually.

BUGS
Yeh, yeh. Whatever.
So whadda' ya want,
Darlings?

MCDUFFY
Err, say
Kennedy, didn't
You buy us some drinks?

KENNEDY
Oh yeh,
So I did.
What happened to
Those drinks, Bugs?

BUGS
What? Some
Guy walked off
With 'em, darling.

KENNEDY
Ah shit!

BUGS
But yer' can
Have another
Two on the 
House, darlings.
Now whadda'
Yer' want?

MCDUFFY
Budweiser.

FURLOUGH
I think I'll
Have a scotch,
Haven't had a
Whiskey for months.

BUGS
Right, darlings.

He goes to pour them.  Kennedy walks over to a
Table. 

A very tall red-haired man is sitting next to
His girlfriend, his name is "Orange", and the girl, a short brunette is called Jane. 

 Kennedy says something to him, then points to Furlough & McDuffy, he nods and Kennedy walks into a room, which says "PRIVATE" on the door.  

"Orange"
(Southern accent)
Hey, you guys.  Come sit over here.

MCDUFFY
Okay, then.

FURLOUGH
Say where's Kennedy gone?

MCDUFFY
Dunno.

"Orange"
Yo, guys.
C'mon.

McDuffy & Furlough take their drinks, and sit at the table.  Rod, Duncan and two of the Bikers, 

Stephen & Kay,
Are sitting two tables away, they've seen them, and they're keeping a low-profile.  All four are heavily bandaged.  Rod is playing with his flick-knife, which has now been cleaned.

ROD
You seen who's over there?

DUNCAN
Oh, shit, 
Hadn't seen them.

KAY
Oh, yeh.  They're th' bouncers.

STEPHEN
No ****?

ROD
None what so ever.

Suddenly Kennedy, and a small Chinese man
Head over to them, and hold a quick abrupt conversation.
Duncan & Rod follow them back to the "PRIVATE" door.

Stephen & Kay stay back.

MEANWHILE

Furlough & McDuffy are talking to Jane & "Orange".
McDuffy turns to the pole-dancers, and sees them.

"Orange"
Y' see that one there,
In the middle?
Well, she's the
Hottest.  

JANE
Every girl 
Wants to be like
Her, she's
Called Candy-girl.
Bit 'uv a bitch.
Don't really like her personality.

FURLOUGH
I'd say she's rather plain-looking
Myself.  But, then again 
I'm not sure.
She's wearing heavy
Make-up.

"Orange"
All of 'em
do, 'part
from ma' Jane,
here.  She's a
natural-beauty.  Through-through.

JANE
Oh shut up, honey.

They kiss.

"Orange"
You gotta' girl, y'self?

MCDUFFY
Who me?

"Orange"
Both of y'.

MCDUFFY
I had a girl
Back In Britain,
Name of Lily.
Pretty girl, ran
Off with another
Guy.  

"Orange"
Yeh, I had that,
and you?

FURLOUGH
Me? No.
Had a few
Girls, but no
Long-lasting relationship.

MCDUFFY
I was with Lily
For two years, I'd
Bought her an
Engagement ring, just
Went round to...

-FLASHBACK-

McDuffy is about a year younger, and he has
A small moustache.  He walks to a house,
Which is one of many in a housing-estate.
He has a small Maroon box.

The camper-van is parked outside.  Furlough is no-where
To be seen.  McDuffy clears his throat and knocks on the door.  No reply.  McDuffy raises his eyebrow, he knows 

she's at home.  He looks through the letter-box.

MCDUFFY
Lily? Lily? You there?

A faint series of hushed screams greet him.

MCDUFFY
****! They're killing her in there!

He runs back, then rams against the door with his shoulder, it weakens it, but doesn't break it.

MCDUFFY
Shit!

He looks around for something, then sees the lounge-window.  With one quick charge, he smashes through the glass, and falls onto a red-carpet.  

A small Scottish-terrier greets him.  He coaches it.

MCDUFFY
Jack, where's missus?

The little dog barks, and runs off.

MCDUFFY
(Muttering)
Useless flea-bag.

He hears another burst of screaming, immediately he runs into the hallway, and gallops up the stairs. 

 Two steps at a time.  The screaming is coming from the bedroom, McDuffy's hair is all wild, and he is hot and bothered.  

He rips the door open, and looks inside.  A man is on top of Lily, a tall brunette.

MCDUFFY
What the hell?

LILY
Oh my gosh! Bill! I'm so sorry!

MAN
**** off, arsehole, you're old news!

MCDUFFY
Lily! How can you do this to me? 

LILY
Gee, I'm sorry Billy, it's just, he's...

MCDUFFY
More exciting than me?

LILY
Well, yeh.

MAN
Now-piss off.

-CRACK-, McDuffy punches him in the jaw, the punch is so hard, that it sends him straight across the room, and he -BANGS-
against the window, almost falling through it.  The man's jaw is obviously broken.

LILY
Niall!

She runs to the man and helps him up.

MCDUFFY
You cow! How can you.  Look what I got you.
(Shows them the box) Yeh, look.
(Opens it, they see the engagement ring)
****! ****! That's 320 pounds worth of my
hard-earned money down the ******' drain.
Lily, I can't *****' believe you.

NIALL
(Gets up)
Get back, dude. You're old news.

MCDUFFY
You've already said that.

NIALL
Well I said it again. Now get out before
I call the police.

McDuffy hands him the ring.

MCDUFFY
HERE! HERE! You ****** take it.
Go on, go on-you seem to be taking
My place, so why not take this.
Go on, here-here take it.
NIALL
Really?

MCDUFFY
No.

POW! He throws Niall over a table, and he hits a vase, it smashes.  Niall gets up and attacks
McDuffy with a piece of the vase.  McDuffy Chops his
Hand, almost breaking it.  Niall drops it, McDuffy grabs
Him round the neck and holds him off the ground.

LILY
(Grabs McDuffy's hand)
No, Billy-don't-don't.

McDuffy lets go, and Niall CRASHES to the ground.  McDuffy
Exits, looking distraught.

MCDUFFY (O.S)
Keep outa my sight.



-END FLASHBACK-

"Orange"
Wow, how piss-worthy.
Oh look, the singing starts.

Everyone turns to the stage.  A woman is moving between the poles, singing Don Maclean's "American Pie".  She is the Blonde, who McDuffy & Furlough saved in the bar.

FURLOUGH
Well, well, well, look who
It is.

MCDUFFY
Wonder if she'll
Recognize us?

FURLOUGH
Nah, doubt it. 
But who knows.

MCDUFFY
You wanna 
 Flirt with her, or
Should I?

FURLOUGH
You do it, let's see the
Maestro do it.

"Orange"
Oh you don't stand
no chance with Natalie.

FURLOUGH
Is that her name?

JANE
Yeh. She's gotta' boyfriend?

MCDUFFY
(More than interested)
Who?

"Orange"
Milky Savage.

FURLOUGH
Where would he be?

Jane points, to a short, thin
Blackman, who has lots
Of gold chains hanging off
Him.  Milky is cheering at her.
A few punk-friends are round him.

MCDUFFY
What does she see
In him?

JANE
She sees nothing,
But fear.
She's scared of him?

"Orange"
She ain't scared,
she's shit-scared.

MCDUFFY
What for? He's no
Bigger'n me.

"Orange"
Size, ain't everything, remember.
He's a tough mother******.
He beats her-frequently.

FURLOUGH
I hate the 
Pig******* who do that
Kinda thing.

JANE
Well there's other
Stuff about him.
(Looks to "Orange")
Should we tell 'em?

"Orange"
Go on, then.

JANE
Well Milky, isn't
His real name,
It's Angelo-de Neworce.

McDuffy & Furlough are
Taken a-back.

MCDUFFY
What the drug kingpin?

FURLOUGH
Is that really
Him? Or are
You just having 
Us on? 

"Orange"
No we're not.
Angelo-de Neworce,
Drug kingpin?
Contract killer?
Arms-dealer?

FURLOUGH/MCDUFFY
Yeh.

"Orange"
That's him.

FURLOUGH
He doesn't deal 
Drugs on the premises does he?

"Orange"
Yeh.  Kennedy may
have the body of and be a
strongman, but he ain't
gonna stand up to Milky.
Y' see those three punks there?

MCDUFFY
Yeh. What about 'em?

"Orange"
He's got about
fifteen more of 'em,
those three're the only one's with passes,
I believe you got
In a fight with
Some of 'em?

FURLOUGH
Yes, we got in a bloody good fight.

"Orange"
He's after you
Then, guys.

MCDUFFY
(Savagely)
Just let him try,
I'll rip his bullocks out through his gob.

"Orange"
No you won't,
You touch him,
And you'll
Have 500 bullets
And 10 knives
Shoved in ya
**** before ya know it.

JANE
He speaks the 
Truth, but don't
Swear, Jake.  

"Orange"
Don't call me
Jake, I don't
Like that name,
Janey.

JANE
Oh.

Rod and the Chinese man come out of the "PRIVATE" place,
Rod goes to Stephen & Kay, he speaks to them, and they follow him to the "PRIVATE" door.  The small Chinese man walks to "Orange's" table.

"Orange"
Hi, Miguel.
What can I do
For ya?

MIGUEL
(Heavy Chinese accent)
Bring them to
The "arena".

"Orange"
Okay, c'mon guys,
stay here, Janey.

JANE
Right.

FURLOUGH
Where are
We going?

"Orange"
To the private-place.

"Orange" & Miguel lead the way, talking in hushed voices.
The four go through the "PRIVATE" door.

METALLIC CORRIDOR

It's very modern.  Three doors are round it.  Furlough & McDuffy are lead into the 2nd door.  

ROOM

It's pitch-black, a small lamp
Is turned on.

MCDUFFY'S P.O.V

MCDUFFY
What the ****'s goin' on?

A torch shines into his face.

A fist -CRACKS- him across the jaw, he smashes into the wall.  Furlough jumps at "Orange", seeing that he is the one who threw the punch.  

Suddenly Miguel jumps out from the blackness, he strikes Furlough with a Karate-kick.  Furlough falls to his knees.

Miguel karate chops him in the throat.  Blood comes at Furlough's mouth and he -SLAMS- head down onto the hard wooden-floor.

Miguel pulls McDuffy up and "Orange" holds him, 

as Miguel tries out all different kinds of martial-arts kicks & blows.  McDuffy cries out, and tries to fall unconscious.

But he can't, as he is kicked in the chin-
Furlough tries to help but he is thrown through a door.  "Orange" & Miguel then throw in the battered McDuffy. 

ARENA

Furlough & McDuffy are a bit groggy.  Flashing lights and a huge cheering crowd bring them to their senses.  

They look around, and find that they're in a small wrestling-ring.  Furlough sees Kennedy.

FURLOUGH
Hey you, what's going on?

Before he finishes the word "on", a giant of a man, rips through a door, and rams into him, with the full force of a bull.  Furlough just finishes the word on, as he's catapulted through the air, and into the ring-ropes.  Furlough's nose is cut open, on the ring-rope.  The man lets out a roar, and turns on the shocked McDuffy.  The crowd cheers "Rhino", "Rhino".  The man, Rhino charges into McDuffy just steps out the way, but Rhino bounces off the ropes and shoulder-barges him in the spine.  McDuffy flies over Rhino's head, and lands in a crumpled heap.  Rhino seems to enjoy himself.  He charges over to Furlough and picks him up over his head.  

RHINO
RAAAAAAR.   RAAAAAR. RAAAAR.

He throws Furlough into the crowd.  McDuffy has gotten up and seen this.

MCDUFFY
(To Rhino)
YOU SHOULDN'T A' DONE THAT!

He jumps into the air, and hits Rhino with a staggering blow, 

but it doesn't even slow the 7 foot+ giant.  He grabs McDuffy by the throat, and is about to crush his throat, when Furlough comes up behind him, with a thick plank of wood -SCH-CRACK-. 

 Rhino screams for the first time in his adult life.  He turns round, and ROARS, and the ROAR is so blood-curdling, that the audience jump back.  

Rhino roars again, Furlough strikes again, Rhino roars, Furlough strikes.  

Finally Rhino falls to the ground, and the plank is snapped.  

McDuffy gets to his feet He STAMPS on Rhino's foot a couple of times.

But the giant gets to his feet, and takes a Derringer out from somewhere.  

RHINO
DIEEEE-RAAAR.

MCDUFFY
Quick...Kill him.

Rhino squeezes the trigger, but it misses, as Furlough slams him across the head with the plank, Rhino drops to the ground.  Soon the room is fully lighted.  "Orange", Kennedy & Miguel come up to them.

MIGUEL
We're sorry
We had to do this
To you.

FURLOUGH
You oughta' be,
He nearly killed us!

McDuffy grabs Kennedy by the scruff of the neck, Miguel pushes his hands off.

KENNEDY
Wow! Wow! Wow! Cool it.  Now listen, ya got a big bounty on ya head.  Ya know Milky Savage?
(Furlough & McDuffy nod)
Well-you ****** off some a' his men.
Y'know, those punks.  Me 'n' him ain't
Friends, but he's gotta' pass for this place.
I'm in the drug-business, don't take 'em m'self, but I'm kinda' like a delivery boy.  Now I've decided to take out this Savage guy, as a favour for my bouncers.  And if you want the bounty raised off your head, then you gotta' help me.  I can chat with him, and maybe he'll raise it from your head, so I need a job from you two.

MCDUFFY
(Concerned)
Listen-we don't do drugs.

KENNEDY
Did I say it
Was anything to do
With drugs?

FURLOUGH
Right.  We want this bounty raised from
Our heads if we do this job.

MCDUFFY
And the job is?

KENNEDY
Go to your hotel, and
Sleep.  I'll call you in the
Morning.

MCDUFFY
Right, the number
Is...

KENNEDY
I'll find out.

HOTEL ROOM

  
McDuffy & Furlough are lying on single beds, next to each
Other, a porn show is on the T.V, both men are watching it.  The phone rings, McDuffy leans over and answers it.

MCDUFFY
Hi?

VOICE
Hello, William.

MCDUFFY
It's Bill, arsehole.  Do I know you?

VOICE
I am the Goblin of Death.  And I am warning
You, James McDuffy & you, John Furlough that danger awaits you, leave Forestown immediately.  The Goblin of Death has spoken.

MCDUFFY
Why y...

Goblin Of Death hangs up.

MCDUFFY
You hear that?

FURLOUGH
Wow, yeh!

MCDUFFY
Shall we leave?

FURLOUGH/MCDUFFY
Nah.

The phone rings.

FURLOUGH
I'll, ring, and if it's him...
(He picks up the phone)
Hello?

"Orange"
Hi, John.  Me & Jane jus' had the weirdest
Thing, this guy called "The Goblin of Death" 
Called, he told us to leave town, 'else we'd die!
Can y' believe it! I was born here!
No mother******'s gonna boot me out.
Jane's shit-scared.  She wants to call the police, I
Just said "What's the point? He ain't gonna kill me, is he?

FURLOUGH
He called us too.

"Orange"
Did he, really?

FURLOUGH
Uh-huh.

"Orange"
Well I gotta go, see ya.

He hangs up. Furlough drops the phone.

FURLOUGH
That was "Orange", he got the same phone-call as us.

MCDUFFY
Is he moving out?

FURLOUGH
No.

MCDUFFY
I'm gonna get some sleep.

SLOWLY FADE TO-


INSIDE OF CAMPER-VAN 6:30 A.M

Furlough has his eyes closed and he's trying to get some rest, but he can't, as McDuffy has loud hip-hop music coming from the radio.  McDuffy, while he drives is humming the song.  McDuffy sees a bandaged Baker on the side of the road.  He "Bibs" the horn, and Baker jumps in the air.  Furlough & McDuffy laugh at him.

BAKER
Hey arseholes!

The camper-van goes faster, mud splatters Baker.

BAKER
Damn you!

He takes a 9mm pistol out, and fires at the camper-van, it swerves into a lay-by. Baker fires another shot, Furlough rolls out the way, the bullet just skims past McDuffy's head.  Furlough charges at Baker, he panics and fires a few shots.

-BLAM-

A shot hits Furlough, he's thrown backwards across the road.

-BLAM-

His next shot, is aimed for McDuffy, it is just wide from its target.  McDuffy tackles Baker.  Furlough gets up.

-BLAM-

A gunshot whizzes through McDuffy's hair.  He punches Baker twice.  Furlough stamps on Baker's hand.  The gun skids across the ground.  Baker swings his leg violently, and it takes Furlough's legs out from under him.  He crashes to the ground.

McDuffy collects himself, and trips Baker, both of them fall onto Furlough, soon a mad fight is staged on an empty road.  Water from muddy-puddles splashes them.  Baker takes a knife from his pocket, and attacks McDuffy.

Furlough manages to gain control of Baker's knife hand, and the knife is turned onto him.  Baker kicks Furlough in the groin, and he twists round and falls down.

MCDUFFY
That was a mistake...****hole!

He now has the 9mm pistol, and he shoots Baker, it sends the thug flying backwards.  McDuffy turns to Furlough, who is struggling to get up.

MCDUFFY
You hurt?

FURLOUGH
No, not as much as him.  Bullet grazed my head.  

MCDUFFY
Your balls?

FURLOUGH
I think I can still use 'em?

They snigger.

FURLOUGH
(Cont'd)
We'd better get outa here.

MCDUFFY
MM. We're late.

CUT TO-

Furlough, McDuffy, Natalie, "Orange" and Bugs all standing in a row.  A muscular but dirty man, wearing a white-vest also stands with them, this is Buddy.

KENNEDY
(Appearing)
I gotta job for Ya.

BUGS
Somethin' good, darling?

KENNEDY
Not good, but pig****** important.
Now listen-and listen good.  One of
My girls, Sandra has been kidnapped by a small-time
Drugs-dealer.  He's got a small army of helpers, but really it ain't nothing to worry about.  They're probably gonna be armed, but I want you to deal with 'em.  

BUGS
Listen, darling.  I'm just a simple barman,
I serve drinks, I don't wanna
Be doing this.  I've hardly shot a gun
Before.

KENNEDY
Ah, but you've used one before.

BUGS
Yes, bu...

KENNEDY
No buts, I ain't got
A gang, that's why I'm using ya.

MCDUFFY
Me and John, here.  We are
Fist-fighters.  We're bare-knuckle 
Fighters, and we don't use guns,
And this's got something to do
With drugs, hasn't it? Anyway drugs're illegal.

KENNEDY
So is bare-knuckle boxing.

NATALIE
(Meaning McDuffy & Furlough)
I don't wanna
Work with these ****s,
They, um, suck.

BUDDY
Look, baby.  I don't wanna
Work with no-one, but I have
To, so why d'you have to 
Keep complaining?

KENNEDY
Well said.

NATALIE
Now what's the mission?

KENNEDY
Well, you guys are taking a trip
To the Cansworth docks.  I have
Hired a mechanic, Buddy here...

BUDDY
Hi, hi.

KENNEDY
...He is an expert working
with tools.
(Someone mutters "Clever")
We need to save my girl, Sandra.
Then, we, well you, must also
Sabotage the engine of a boat,
Which will be carrying heroin.
Any objections?
(None)
Good.

CANSWORTH DOCKS-11:45 A.M

A truck pulls up, the back door swings open.  Buddy & McDuffy jump out, they are armed with a large red tool-box, and a revolver each.  The driver's door opens, Furlough gets out, a high-powered Barreta sniper-rifle hangs across his shoulder.  Bugs & Natalie both have Uzis.  "Orange" climbs out of the passenger's seat, also holding an Uzi.  He rams a magazine in.  Three boats are there.

BUDDY
Which one are we meanna sabotage?

"ORANGE"
It's called Randy's Peak.

BUDDY
Right, me & Bill will take the boat, you guys take out any enemies.

BUGS
I'll find the girl.

FURLOUGH
I'll help too.

Everyone goes there separate ways.  McDuffy leaves Buddy with the tool-box.  He runs to the middle boat, and looks at the hull, it reads: "SUGAR MARY".  

MCDUFFY
Damn.

He looks at the next boat, it reads: "RED RIVER SKIES".  

MCDUFFY
Nope.

BUDDY
It's the other-one.

MCDUFFY
Well done.

He looks at the other one, it reads: "RANDY'S PEAK".

MCDUFFY
Ah-ha.

He runs over to Buddy, and they take the heavy tool-box to the ship.  Buddy leaves it with McDuffy and he climbs up a small flight of metal steps, McDuffy hands him the tool-box, and Buddy just manages to hoist it up, he pulls McDuffy up, and they both survey the area.

MCDUFFY
No-one's here.

McDuffy & Buddy carry the toolbox round the corner, and collide with:

-A MAN HOLDING AN M16-

Buddy shots him with his silenced revolver.

BUDDY
He must be one of the "helpers".

They carry the box further round the corner.  

BUDDY
(Cont'd)
Now, this should be the Engine-room door...

He opens the door, and finds a machine-gun pointed at his head, so much is the shock, that Buddy drops the tool-box, onto his and McDuffy's feet, this causes McDuffy to fall, and he manages to roll round the corner.  

-BLAM-

The gunman fires once, Buddy falls off the boat, and into shallow-water.  McDuffy searches for his gun, but the weapon is gone.  He peeks round the corner, it is by the Gunman's feet. The Gunman picks it up, and tosses it into the water.

MCDUFFY
Shit!

GUNMAN
Come out, come out, little-man.

McDuffy sticks his foot round the corner, as the Gunman walks round the side, he trips over, and hits his chin on the metal-railing.  He drops his machine-gun, McDuffy catches the gun, and squeezes the trigger.  RATTA-TAT-TAT, the Gunman is shot a few times, and he falls over the railings and into the now-red water.

MCDUFFY
(Peering over the railing)
Buddy? Buddy? You there?

BUDDY
(Faintly)
I'm hanging in.

MCDUFFY
Where are you hit?

BUDDY
Err (pause) chest.

MCDUFFY
Badly?

BUDDY
No.  It's kinda painful, but I've had worse.

MCDUFFY
You think you can help?

BUDDY
Sorry, Billy.  I think I'm too weak.

MCDUFFY
Shit.  Just hang in there, okay, Bud?

No reply.

MCDUFFY
Bud? Bud? You okay?

No reply.

Machine-gun fire comes from the main building.

MCDUFFY
Buddy, speak to me, man?

No reply.

McDuffy bites his bottom-lip, he knows that he can't sabotage it without Buddy's help. 

MCDUFFY
(As he climbs down off the boat)
Please let him be okay...please...please let him
Be okay...

He wades into the water, it is exceptionally red.  

MCDUFFY
Buddy? Buddy? C'mon talk to me...

Suddenly something takes his legs out from him.  A very bloody Gunman rises out of the water, and stands over McDuffy.  We get a close up of him, he has been shot about five times, and there are red splodges and bullet-holes in his bloody-bullet-proof-vest.  Blood is bubbling at his mouth.  The water, has smudged his blood, and it makes him look like something from a horror-movie.  He leans over McDuffy, with Buddy's bloody-revolver.  He aims it, something comes from his mouth, it sounds like "die", but it stops, as he falls on top of McDuffy, a spanner is wedged in between his shoulder-blades.
He makes a small movement, but stops, dead.  

BUDDY
(Weak)
He...d-didn't hurt you d-did he?

MCDUFFY
(Getting up)
No, no.  But are you okay?

BUDDY
Yeh, gimme' a hand.

McDuffy pulls him up, he has his hand on his hip, which is bleeding profusely. 

MCDUFFY
I thought you said you were 
Shot in the chest?

BUDDY
I thought I had been.
It ******* felt like that.

Buddy opens the "Engine-room" door.

MCDUFFY
(Seizing the tool-box by one of it's handles)
Gimme' a hand, will y'?

BUDDY
(Groaning)
No, No, I can't.  Too weak.

MCDUFFY
Grr.

He somehow manages to drag the tool-box in.
They slam the door behind them.
McDuffy gladly drops the tool-box.

MCDUFFY
Okay...Now, where's the engine?

He looks around at all the machinery that's in there.

BUDDY
You're hopeless, it's that thing there.

CUT TO-

Furlough and the others are in a corridor.  A big door is in front of them.

"ORANGE"
I wonder how Buddy & Bill are getting on.

BUGS
Who's gonna take this door, darlings?

NATALIE
I'll take it, the girl should be in here.

She kicks the door down.  Five armed-men are standing in the room, they turn round shocked.

MAN#1
Hey who're you?

BUDDAA-BUDDA-BUDDAA-BUDDA.  She machine-guns the whole lot of them.  All of the men, drop their guns and fall dead.  

FURLOUGH
Wow, feisty.

NATALIE
Shaddup.

She kicks open the next door, a man is holding a skinny-girl round the neck, a gun is pointed to her head.  The guy with the gun is Jarred Mahogany.

JARRED
Don't, don't move, I'll shoot the hell outa her
Measly brains.

NATALIE
Drop her, fucker.

She squeezes the trigger, a whole clip of ammo is emptied into Jarred's head, before he can shoot Sandra, she kicks him, and runs into the crowd of men.

SANDRA
Oh, thank-you, thank-you for saving me.

FURLOUGH
(Rudely pushing past her)
Is there anyone else here?

BUGS
No, darling.

FURLOUGH
Shit! I didn't get any-one!

"ORANGE"
Don't **** y'self about it.

FURLOUGH 
Shaddup you.


MEANWHILE

Buddy has finished work on the engine.

MCDUFFY
Have you sabotaged it?

BUDDY
I haven't sabotaged it, I've set it so it'll blow in twenty seconds. 

MCDUFFY
We'd better get outa here.

Just as he is about to run out, the door flies open.  Two guys with machine-guns.  RATTA-TAT-TAT, Buddy is shot five times, he flies back into the room.  

BUDDY
(Very weak)
Run.

McDuffy pushes past the men and vaults into the water, just as

-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM-

The boat blows into smithereens, the explosion is amazing.  Shards of glass, sheets of metal, etc, all go flying.  McDuffy is knocked clean out of the water.  A piece of glass cuts his cheek.  McDuffy hits the ground, as Furlough, Bugs, Natalie, Sandra & "Orange" appear.
They all run into the truck, and escape.

NATALIE
Where's Buddy?

MCDUFFY
Those bastards killed him!

NATALIE
What!

"ORANGE"
Oh shit! Look!

A car is driving towards them.

FURLOUGH
What's wrong with that
Car, or is it the driver?

"ORANGE"
Both.

FURLOUGH'S P.O.V

Wilmot & Jameson are driving, Jameson is cradling a Rifle in his hands, he fires.  

-BLAM-

"Orange is hit, and he slumps over the steering-wheel.  Bugs tries to push him off the steering-wheel. 

-BLAM-

Bugs is hit in the arm, the truck hits the lamp-post, the door falls off it's hinges, and Orange falls into the road.  The truck rolls over onto it's back.
Wilmot & Jameson park the car, and get out.  Wilmot arms himself with a rifle, the same as Jameson's.  

JAMESON
D'you think their dead?

WILMOT
Dunno-walk cautiously.

Jameson goes first, Wilmot aims his rifle.  There's a slight-movement in the van.  Both men empty their rifles on the truck.

-BLAM, BLAM, BLAM, BLAM, BLAM, BLAM, BLAM, BLAM, BLAM-

The two identical twins re-load, and take aim.  Bug is kneeling over "Orange".

Bug
You okay, darling?

WILMOT
What should we do with them?

JAMESON
Take 'em prisoner.

There's another movement in the truck.  Wilmot fires a shot, it hits the truck-engine.  

-BOOOOOM-

The truck blows up.  Jameson kicks Bugs across the chin, both him & "Orange" are now both unconscious.  

JAMESON
Boss'll be happy with two hostages.

WILMOT
Yeh.

They both grab Bugs & "Orange" and carry them to the car.

WILMOT
(Looking at the blazing truck)
C'mon.

They get in the car, and speed off.  We look over at the burning truck, have our heroes been killed?
Behind the truck, is a ditch.  A hand comes out from the murky-water, then a head pops out.


MCDUFFY
Am I the only one alive?


A hand rests on his shoulder, McDuffy twists round it is Natalie, covered in mud.  He can't stop himself from laughing.

NATALIE
What?

MCDUFFY
Suits you!

He bursts with laughter.  She pushes him.  He falls into, a muddy Furlough.  

FURLOUGH
(Angry)
Hey, ******,
You're gonna pay for
That.

Furlough tries to grab McDuffy, but McDuffy backhands him.  Furlough falls into the mud.  McDuffy lands on top of him, and starts slugging away at him.  Furlough hits him, and McDuffy rolls over, so Furlough is on top.
McDuffy puts both hands round Furlough's neck, and begins trying to ring it.  But Natalie kicks wildly at them, hits McDuffy in the back of the neck, McDuffy turns to her, and Furlough socks him.  McDuffy turns back, and headbutts him in the jaw.  Furlough screams, McDuffy headbutts him again, then punches him.  Furlough screams again.  Furlough bites down on McDuffy's hand, McDuffy screams, Furlough manages to get on top-again.  He hits McDuffy, twice.  McDuffy knees him in the balls, and awkwardly twists from under him, Furlough lands in a pile of muck, the muck splats Natalie.  She screams.  McDuffy grabs a pile of dirt, and shoves it in Furlough's mouth.  Furlough spits it at McDuffy, he moves his head, slightly, and the dirt hits Natalie, she screams.

NATALIE
Stop it! Stop it!

McDuffy & Furlough look up, they are covered from head to toe in mud and dirt.  In fact, if we didn't know that it was them who were fighting, we wouldn't recognize them.

NATALIE
Look guys, will you
Stop this.  We need to
Rescue "Orange" & Bugs...

FURLOUGH
(Butting in)
From who?

NATALIE
Milky Savage.

MCDUFFY
But I thought he
Was your boyfriend,
And you were scared of
Him?

NATALIE
He is.
I am.
But I'm gonna have
To stand up to him,
He's took, and is
Gonna kill some of my
Friends, I can't go
Out with a maggot-fucker
Like him.  I'm ending this,
With a single bullet.
(Pause)
To the brain.  First
We gotta find that arsehole,
Kennedy.  He might help.
And I say "MIGHT" strongly.

CUT TO-

Kennedy standing in a room, with Natalie, Furlough & McDuffy.  

KENNEDY
Right, so you
Want me to help you find
Two of my friends? My barman,
And one of my best-friends.
Now, guess what my answer's
Gonna be?

Furlough
No?

NATALIE
Yes?

MCDUFFY
Maybe?

KENNEDY
You're all wrong, of
Course I wanna
Help, and I'm gonna
Help.  Now, I know
We don't have much time
And soon Savage will be demanding
A ransom, we can expect it to be in the 
Range of about two million.
(Everyone gasps "WOW")
He knows how much I
Like my people, one works
Well for me, the other is
In my gang.

MCDUFFY
Gang? Eh? Now, Mr.Kennedy
You're getting more suspicious all the time.
Nightclub, bouncer, drugs, now gang?
Whatever next?

KENNEDY
I'll help, I know
What to do.  I can get
Some of my gang to help
You three.  But first
I'm gonna need guns.

NATALIE
How d'you expect us to get
Guns from?

KENNEDY
Well I need new guns,
And where I always turn
Is to Dwayne Roberts,
My arms-dealer, he has
A pass, but wasn't here
Last night.  

FURLOUGH
How much will he
Charge, and weapons
Will you be needing?

KENNEDY
He'll do it 
Free, for me.

FURLOUGH
Ah, yes, but how will he know
We're from you?

KENNEDY
He had a relationship
With Natalie, he'll recognize
Her.  You'll probably find
Him in the netball-courts, down
The road from here.  He's probably
With his gang.

FURLOUGH
What weapons d'you
Want?

KENNEDY
I'll write 'em down.

He takes a notepad, and begins jotting things down, he then hands it to Furlough.

FURLOUGH
(Reading)
Right, so, 
9 M16'S,
2 Uzis
and a rocket-launcher!
You sure he's got
This kinda' ****?

KENNEDY
Yep.  All that
Plus, whatever you lot 
Want.  Bring 'em
To me, in, shall we
Say, two hours?

NATALIE
Right.

23 MINUTES LATER

The camper-van pulls up outside a netball-court.
A group of black youths are playing netball,
Dwayne is a tall, rather skinny Jamaican man, with
Dreadlocked hair in a long ponytail.  The other
Three youths are also Jamaican, they are King, Loopy
And Tomcat.  They see the flame-streaked camper-van.

LOOPY
Ah, look it's a rival-gang.

DWAYNE
**** the mother******s.
C'mon, let's play ball.

Furlough, McDuffy & Natalie get out.

NATALIE
Hey, Dwayne.

DWAYNE
Shit, cops!

KING
You run, we'll hold 'em off.

TOMCAT
They won't dare come after us.

Dwayne gets near the gate, ready to run.  The trio chase him, but King, Loopy & Tomcat step in front of them.

LOOPY
Stop right there, whadda' you want?

NATALIE
It's me, Natalie, don't you
Recognize me, Loopy.

LOOPY
Didn't know you'd gone
To the cops.

He kicks her in the
Stomach.

MCDUFFY
If there's one thing I hate, it's
A woman-beater, prepare to
Die, donkey*****.

He kicks him in the jaw, and slams King's head into
The fence.  Tomcat takes out a revolver, but McDuffy
Takes him down.  Furlough and Natalie give chase to
Dwayne.  McDuffy grabs the revolver and throws it out of the courts. King pulls himself up, and blocks McDuffy's way.  

MCDUFFY
I'm gonna give you till the count
Of three, to get outa my way.

KING
No **** you.

MCDUFFY
I'll take that as a three.

-CRACK-

Since King said "**** you", Loopy had risen behind McDuffy, holding a metal-bar, and he had now struck with it, but McDuffy had moved, and it hit King in the top of his bald head.  McDuffy twists round, grabs the metal-bar, and:

-CRACK-

Hits Loopy in the balls with it.  Then he turns and looks at Tomcat, challenging him.

TOMCAT
Err, I.

He legs it.  McDuffy jogs on.

CUT TO-

Dwayne is running up some firestairs, Natalie is close behind, Furlough is behind her, and McDuffy is somewhere in the background.  Furlough suddenly trips on a steep-step, and falls down the stairs, landing in a crumpled heap at the foot of the stairs.  Natalie is still following Dwayne, he jumps through a "Fire-Exit" door.  Natalie follows, and finds herself in a small kitchen.
Three men are standing round a table.

DWAYNE
Get her!

MAN#1
But that's
Natalie.

DWAYNE
She's helping the cops, man.
Two of 'em are outside.

MAN#1
Oh, when ya put it like
That.

He and the other two jump up.

NATALIE
Get outa my way.

MAN#1
No.

He kicks her in the hip, it has
No affect.  She punches him, then flips
Him over her head, and down the firestairs.
Furlough arrives behind her.  Man#2 rushes
At her, switchblade in his hands.  Furlough
Grabs him round the neck and throws him into the table. 
Man#3 panics, Natalie kicks him out of the way.  They
Move in on a frightened Dwayne.

DWAYNE
Okay, okay, I'll go quietly, officer.

FURLOUGH
We're not in the
Police, you twit.

DWAYNE
What? Oh why
Didn't ya say, man?

FURLOUGH
We tried, but
You wouldn't listen.

DWAYNE
Whadda' ya need?

NATALIE
We're from Kennedy.

DWAYNE
Kennedy? Who's that?

Natalie suspiciously kicks him in the leg.

DWAYNE
(Cont'd)
Oh yeh-I know him.

FURLOUGH
Will it be free?

DWAYNE
Sure will be, man.

Furlough hands him the
Piece of paper.

DWAYNE
(Reading)
Right, right, yeh.
I got all that, right here.

FURLOUGH
This your house?

DWAYNE
Uh-huh.

FURLOUGH
And you keep everything
In your house?

DWAYNE
Where else?

McDuffy appears.

MCDUFFY
I'll take a Magnum .44 revolver.

NATALIE
Two Uzis for me.

FURLOUGH
A Barret sniper-rifle.

DWAYNE
Got it all.

FURLOUGH
If the Cops ever caught you-you'd be
Screwed.

DWAYNE
Well they haven't yet.
Anyway I like living life on the edge.

He opens a door, and all sorts of weapons fall out,
Almost everything available.  

FADE TO-

Two Eddie Stotbart trucks.  Going down a small road.
No other traffic is on the road.   We follow them as they
Go across the long, empty road.  Finally they reach a large warehouse.  The two lorries stop, and block up the entrance.  A door opens up, and a man gets out, he is tall, and built like a brick-wall.  He walks to the other lorry, and opens the door, Natalie jumps out, in a camouflaged bikini.  She walks to the man.

NATALIE
Hey, Brick.

BRICK
Dudes are in the
Back.

Furlough gets out of the passenger's seat.

FURLOUGH
When are we gonna
Do this?

Rod, Miguel & Duncan appear.

FURLOUGH
Hey, what're you two here for?

ROD
(Seeing that Furlough's about to punch him)
Hey, hey.  We're in Kennedy's gang.

FURLOUGH
What?

NATALIE
It's true.

FURLOUGH
So why did you attack us?

DUNCAN
We didn't know who you were, and we still
Don't.

FURLOUGH
John Furlough, bare-knuckle prize-fighter.  

ROD
I've heard of you.

NATALIE
We don't have time for all of
This, c'mon.

They open the backdoors of the lorries, about twenty or so men get out, McDuffy is with them.  He has a Magnum .44 in a shoulder-holster.  Two men come out of the building.  They are Wilmot & Jameson, the twins see what's happening and they throw themselves back, just as a hail of bullets flies their way.

INSIDE

The warehouse only has two small rooms.  Bugs is in one room-bound and gagged. Wilmot & Jameson tip a table over, and hide behind it, an M16 wielding man appears, he looks for them, Wilmot jumps up.

-BLAM, BLAM-

Hits the man in the chest, sends him flying back.  Jameson has a powerful pump-action shotgun, he pops up.

-BLAM-

He shoots another one of Kennedy's gang. Kennedy and three other gang members burst in firing, Wilmot is hit seven times in the head.  Jameson looks up, sees his brother dead, he screams.  Then rolls out.

-BLAM-

McDuffy hits him in the leg.  Jameson fires back.

-BLAM-

Hits another gang-member, the unarmed Kennedy grabs the fallen man's M16.  

-BUDDA-BUDDA-BUDDA-

Opens fire, Jameson is hit twice, doesn't die.  Jumps into an open door.  

-BUDDA-BUDDA-BUDDA-

Fire rips up the carpet, where Jameson was.  Jameson pumps a round into the breech.

-BLAM-

Hits Kennedy in the arm, felling him.  Jameson is in the other room, desperately trying to get to Bugs, he loads.  Two gangmen come from behind.

-BLAM, BLAM, BLAM-

They shoot Jameson, but he still moves to Bugs, he drops his gun, takes out a knife, jumps at Bugs, the fat Irishman kicks him off, but he tries to slash him again.  

-BOOMF-

Furlough fires a sniper-rifle round, hits Jameson, but he still won't give up, crawling toward Bugs, who tries to pull away.

-BOOMF-


Finally Jameson is hit.  In the head.  It flies across the room. Three Gangmen, and Kennedy who clutches a Handgun, appear.

-BLAM-

Before Gangman#1 can reach Bugs, a sniper-rifle bullet blows his arm off his shoulder.   He spins round, another Sniper-rifle bullet hits him in the eye!  As he spins, he fires a few
Rounds off from his Uzi.

-BUDDA-BUDDA-BUDDA-

Kennedy narrowly misses being shot, but the other two Gangmen are killed.  

-BLAM-

A bullet hits the floor next to Bugs, the fat-Irishman rolls forward.  And he is pulled into safety.

KENNEDY
Who the **** is firing? Damn it!

-BLAM-

A bullet hits the wall next to him.

KENNEDY
(Cont'd)
Aagh! Shit!

-BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM-

The Gangmen open fire, they have no idea where the phantom Sniper is.  But they fire anyway.  

VOICE
(O.S)
Goblin of Death-Goblin of Death-Goblin of death!

-BOOMF-

A bullet hits another Gangmember, hitting him in the skull.

NATALIE
Where the **** is this guy?

FURLOUGH
(Loading)
Whoever he is, he's the
Phantom-Sniper.

NATALIE
Err, that's not funny.
That's pathetic.

-BOOMF-

Another Gangmember is taken down.  

-BOOMF-

Another.

-BLAM BLAM BLAM-

The Gangmembers return fire.  


-BOOMF-

Another man is killed.

NATALIE
Oh my Gosh! So many are dying.

She runs forward.  Milky Savage appears from behind a wooden pillar.  Everyone aims, but Milky has his gun to Natalie's head. 

FURLOUGH
Get your filthy-******' hands off the girl, punk!

SAVAGE
No.

MCDUFFY
Before I fire.

SAVAGE
I'll kill her, I
Will, I will.
(To Natalie)
You're a dirty
Thieving bitch,
Aren't you?

MCDUFFY
Go on, kill
Her.  She means nothing
To me.

Suddenly steel touches his face.  All the
Gangmembers, including Kennedy
Bugs, and "Orange" who comes
Out of no-where, have
Their guns to the
Two men's heads.

MCDUFFY
What the hell is
Going on 'round here?

KENNEDY
The whole
Thing's a 
Set-up, punk.
(Laughs)
And you two prats
Fell for it.  Last
Week you had a fight,
Didn't you? (They nod)
Against a guy called
"Bobby Graham"?

FURLOUGH
Yeh, so?

KENNEDY
Ha, he was
Our man, me and
Milky's.  Yep,
You never woulda
Guessed it, would
Ya?  Nope.  And you
Two won, we don't
Like that. One
Little bit.  So
We got you working
For us.  We got
Close. Now we're
Gonna kill ya. 
(Pause)
Oh, and the name's
Angelo Juliano. 
Ya know? The
Famous Italian
Gangster?
Milky here is
Just one of my
Gang.  And
Natalie is just some
Filthy Prostitute.
Before we shoot you,
We got some friends who wanna
Say hello.

MCDUFFY
Damn it! You're evil! You
Let all those people die
Just because you wanted to
Kill us?

JULIANO
Yep.  Good actors ain't they?

Rod, Duncan, the other bikers, 
The Robber, Cabby, Triggs,
Mugz, Archer, Doll, Roberto,
Jaqu and Miguel
Enter.

ROD
(Pushing to the front)
My knife wants to say "Hi".

FCUSH!  He jams it in McDuffy, not
In a critical place, but in
The shoulder.  Furlough turns
To punch him, but Bugs' gun
Is still to his head.

He turns on Bugs,
The Irishman shrugs.
Furlough shrugs too, 
Then he sneakily takes out
Rod's switchblade from McDuffy's
Shoulder and FCUSH! RAMS it in
Bugs' head.

JULIANO
DIE!

BLAM, BLAM, BLAM

Miguel and Natalie are shot, everyone
Turns to the door.  D.J Hotz
Stands there, pump-action shotgun
In his hand.


Before anyone can say anything,
McDuffy and Furlough take the
Chance.

McDuffy grabs Savage
Round the neck, and smashes
His head through the weak wooden-wall.

Furlough is battling the
Punks, blocking their
Varied blows.  He spins, tosses
Mugz across the room and he SLAMS
Into Cabby and they both go flying.
Roberto tries to advance 
Behind Furlough, but Furlough
Realizes and he
Clobbers Roberto to
The ground.  Archer
Has a gun to Furlough's
Head.  But he is too
Slow in pulling the
Trigger.

-BLAM-

D.J Hotz shoots him in the 
Face.  Then he clicks
His fingers.  And Cops
Begin flooding the room.

Triggs tries to run,
But McDuffy puts
A hand on his shoulder.

MCDUFFY
Going somewhere?

Triggs panics, and
The Cops arrest him.

The Gangmembers put
Up a fight, and the
Cops have to fight,
And they kill all the Gangmembers.

Furlough punches Archer as many
Times as he can, but Rod
Interviens, angrily, Furlough
Tosses him back.  But Duncan
Attacks with a Biro-pen.

Furlough draws his
Handgun and shoots
Him in the foot.

The Cabby is also
Arrested.

Duncan kicks Furlough,
And tries to stab him
Again, but Furlough has
Him by the throat, and
Tosses him outside.

Robber comes up behind
McDuffy, who struggles
With a Gangmember, before
Robber can fire his gun,
McDuffy backhands him across
The face.

"Orange" leaps onto Furlough's
back, and rains blows down
hard.  Furlough grimaces,
but backs against a 
wall.  "Orange"
falls down, but
is straight back up
again with a
Machine-gun. 

-BLAM-

Before the deadly
Weapon can fire,
D.J Hotz shoots
Him through the 
Hand.

This is enough to
Topple "Orange",
But it doesn't kill
Him.  

"Orange" fiddles
in his pocket, and
comes out with a dagger.
He stabs Furlough in the
Back.  

The big man tries to
Stand, but CRASHES
To the floor.  

McDuffy hasn't notice,
He is fighting Rod.
When he smashes
A Pot over Rod's
Head, he turns and
Finds "Orange" standing
Over Furlough. 

MCDUFFY
You pig****** swine!

He throws himself onto
"Orange", the two are a mass of
fists, legs and violence.  "Orange"
gets a hold of McDuffy's neck, and
tries to break it.

But a huge shadow 
Falls over him.  It
Is Furlough.  "Orange"
Turns, Furlough has
The dagger in his hand.

He brings it down
Once, twice, three times,
Four times, five times,
Six times, seven times.


"Orange" is definitely
dead.  

MCDUFFY
John! You okay?

FURLOUGH
Aagh! Fine.

Everyone else has
Either been arrested,
Knocked out or killed.

D.J HOTZ
Hey you guys,
I'm L.A.P.D
Real name's
Garry Jansen, sorry
About all that shit.
I was working undercover.
Try'na get entrance.
Nice job, guys.
(To Furlough)
I think we'd
Better get you
To hospital.

FURLOUGH
Yeh.

D.J HOTZ
(To 2 officers)
O'Connor, Codey,
Escort this guy
To hospital.

Furlough exits with
Two Cops.

MCDUFFY
Where's Juliano?
Rounded him up, have
You?

D.J HOTZ
No, I thought
You'd got him,
Hadn't you?

MCDUFFY
No, I thought
You'd got him.

D.J HOTZ
No.

MCDUFFY/HOTZ
Shit!

MCDUFFY
He musta
Gone upstairs.
I wanna
Take him on
My own.

D.J HOTZ
Okay, but 
Call if ya
Need help.

MCDUFFY
Right.

ON THE ROOF

Juliano stands there, 
Savage behind him.

JULIANO
D'you...

Suddenly McDuffy bursts
In, Magnum raised.

MCDUFFY
Hi-sorry I didn't knock.

-BLAM-

He hits Savage in the
Head, then turns
To Juliano. 
And squeezes
The trigger.

-CLICK-

The guns empty.

-BLAM BLAM-

Juliano fires
Twice, one
Bullet hits
McDuffy in the shoulder. 

McDuffy falls from the roof
Into a small alley, Juliano
Follows.




With a psychotic gaze in his eyes, Juliano continues the assault,
Destroying the wall with rounds and rounds
 Of ammo.  McDuffy has no-where to hide.

Juliano fires and fires
His .45, bullets
Pepper the walls
Behind McDuffy.
Who is dodging, 
And running.  Dodging
And running.

Juliano's gun clicks
On an empty-round.
McDuffy licks
His lips, and
Runs, with
His whole bodily
Force he 
SLAMS
Into Juliano.

The sheer force
Throws Juliano
Across the alley, and
His head hits the
Concrete.  But he
Is still alive, and
Kicks McDuffy.

But McDuffy shrugs
And SOCKS him
In the stomach, then
Kicks him the ankle,
SOCKS him again,
Then hits him with
An uppercut.  

Juliano spins and
Crashes into
The brick wall, he
Bounces off it.
And into McDuffy's
FIST.

-POW-

Juliano hits the
Wall, McDuffy grabs
A plank, and CRACKS
Juliano in the groin
With it.
Juliano drops to
His knees, then
Hits his chin on a dumpster.

McDuffy CRACKS him
In the groin again,
Then again.  He
Then loads his
Magnum.

MCDUFFY
Say your prayers, you
******* ******

BLAM. BLAM. BLAM.

He fires three shots all three hit
Juliano, but the Gangster manages to
Crawl behind a dumpster.  He takes
Off his jacket, and we see that
He's wearing a bulletproof vest.

CUT TO:

Furlough runs up to D.J Hotz.

D.J HOTZ
How'd you get on?

FURLOUGH
Fine, they just
Gave me a few quick stitches.
I heard shots-where's Bill?

D.J HOTZ
He went out to get
Juliano.

FURLOUGH
On his own?

D.J HOTZ
Uh-huh.

FURLOUGH
Shit! That guy's a 
Madman.

OUTSIDE

Juliano, looking pale, takes out a Beretta,
And loads it, hands shaking.

MCDUFFY
Come out, come out wherever you
Are.

Suddenly Juliano leaps up from
Behind Bill and SMASHES the Beretta
Over his head.

JULIANO
Now it's my turn to fight-
And I fight dirty.

He kicks McDuffy in the chin,
Then smashes his face against
The wall, grazing it.

He then digs his elbow into
McDuffy's neck, pushing his
Face further and further
Into the wall.

MCDUFFY
AAAAAGGGHHH!

There's a mad glint in
Juliano's eyes, and he
Keeps whooping and cheering.

JULIANO
(Psycho)
DIE! DIE! DIE!
YOU PIG!

He pushes McDuffy's face further
And further, and we hear the bricks 
Grinding against his face.

McDuffy suddenly breaks free
Of Juliano's grasp and shoves
A Biro into his shoulder.

This momentarily stops the madman,
McDuffy dives for his Magnum.
But Juliano kicks it away.

JULIANO
I wanna
Kill you without any
Guns.

He kicks it further away, then
Drops his Beretta.

JULIANO
See? No guns.

Juliano pushes his thumbs into
The fallen McDuffy's neck.
We flinch at the sheer pain
That the man must be going through.

Just then Furlough grabs Juliano
Round the neck, and pulls the
Mad mobster back.  His head
Clangs against the
Wall.

McDuffy gets up, his neck is bloody and
He is bruised all over, with a black eye.


MCDUFFY
Thanks, man.
Ooooh, I feel like I've
Been run over by a freaking
Bus.

FURLOUGH
Huh, that guy's almost
as fat as one!

CRAAACK! Juliano flies forward, and
SMASHES Furlough over the back of
The head with both his elbows.
Furlough flies forward into the
Wall and bounces off.

JULIANO
(Grabbing his Beretta)
Let's duel.

BAM! He knocks McDuffy to his knees
Then places the gun barrel in his
Mouth.

JULIANO
(Cont'd)
So what d'you think
About death?

MCDUFFY
Wi-uh-ae-fk-ey

JULIANO
(Trying to annoy him)
Pardon?

MCDUFFY
(Distressed)
gee-ta-fk-ti-ota-mo-mut

JULIANO
(Still trying to annoy him)
What?

MCDUFFY
(P***** off)
gee-ta-fk-ti-ota-mo-mut

JULIANO
(Trying to annoy him still)
What d'ya say?

FURLOUGH
He said "Get this ****** thing
Outa my mouth".

Juliano turns round, and sees 
The big towering shadow
Of JOHN FURLOUGH.  Juliano
Pulls the Beretta out of
McDuffy's mouth, and onto
Furlough.

BIG MISTAKE!!!!

McDuffy spits blood out,
Then takes a silver
Three-shot Derringer
From his pocket.

Juliano sees this, then
Turns to Furlough. But
Furlough has a handgun too.

Both guns are placed
Either side of Juliano's
Head.  

FURLOUGH/MCDUFFY
SWEET DREAMS.

-BLAM BLAM-

McDuffy hits him in the head, Furlough hits
Him in the stomach.
Juliano falls dead.



DISSOLVE TO:

The Camper-van storms down
The road leading away from town.

MCDUFFY
(V.O)
Shall we?

FURLOUGH
(V.O)
Go on then.

They pull into the bar parking-lot.

BAR

The barman leans against
The bar-drinking a Scotch.
A few punks are laughing,
One of them jabs a syringe
Into his arm, then giggles like
A Madman.

McDuffy and Furlough enter
And head to the bar.

MCDUFFY
Hi, friend, Budweiser
Please.

FURLOUGH
Same here.

BARMAN
(Not looking up)
Righto
(suddenly he looks up)
Ah-ha.  It's you
Two prats.

FURLOUGH
Okay, still reading
Mills and Bone then?

BARMAN
It's Boon!
IT'S BOON!
YOU TWAT!

One of the Punks comes
Up to the Barman.

PUNK#1
They ain't
Causin' you  trouble,
Are they, George?

BARMAN
Yeh, I think they are-
You couldn't give
'em a deckin'
in, could ya?

PUNK#1
Sure could.
(Speaks louder)
Whadda 'bout it,
Guys?

All the punks nod,
They never say no to
A fight.

PUNK#1
Is it these two
You want us to
Get?

BARMAN
Sure is.

PUNK#2
You just wait there,
Georgie.

FURLOUGH
Yeh, 
(Mocking him)
"Georgie".

Punk#2 darts forward,
One fist in front of
His face, the other out,
Ready. Furlough assumes the
Same position.  The Punk dives
Forward trying to get the first
Punch in.

Furlough grabs his wrist, almost
Crushes it, then swings him into the
Wall, where he bounces off straight
Into Furlough's iron fist.

Punk#1 shrugs, and turns
To McDuffy, they both 
Assume the same stance.

PUNK#1
Say ya prayers.

POW! POW! POW! POW!

McDuffy's fists move like lighting,
Punk#1 is knocked off
His feet by those
Magical dynamite punches.

McDuffy swings to the
next Punk and swings
A bone-snapping blow
His way.

Furlough shakes his muscles
And throws an attacking
Punk over his head, sending
The man through the window.

BARMAN
KILL HIM! KILL THE BASTARD!

Punk#4 grabs a crowbar.

PUNK#4
You picked on the wrong
Guys!

He swings the Crowbar, but Furlough
Ducks, and grabs the man's forearm,
Swinging him into the wall.
But he gets up.
And tries to punch Furlough.

Furlough sighs, then lifts him
Up, hanging him over a clothes
Hook, he then strikes three quick
Blows-all to the Jaw. Knocking the
Punk out cold.

The final punk jumps
At Furlough, Furlough
Twists round and hits
The Punk-both of them go
Flying through the window.

OUTSIDE

They land on the gravel,
Then break into a terrible brawl.

BAR

BARMAN
Free drinks all round for
The rest of the month if
You knock that ****** out.

WINO
Oh yeh.

McDuffy grabs a chair,
Shimmeys it in his hands
For a minute, then

CRACK!

Hits Wino in the chin with
The chair.  Nearly breaking
It.  

MCDUFFY
Anyone else wanna
Try?

Everyone else backs away.

BARMAN
I'm sorry it had
To go to this.

He grabs a Sawn-off
Shotgun from underneath
The bar.

BARMAN
(Cont'd)
Hast la Vista...

POW!

McDuffy lays him
Out with a thunderous punch.

MCDUFFY
(As he exits)
...Baby

OUTSIDE

Furlough has finished with
The Punk.  He and McDuffy
Slap a high "5".

MCDUFFY
Oh, I need a rest.

FURLOUGH
Yeh.


When they reach the Camper-van-McDuffy sees a leaflet on the windscreen.

FURLOUGH
Is that a parking
Ticket?
(He picks it up)
Oh!

MCDUFFY
What's it say?

FURLOUGH
(Reading)
"Just because the boss is dead-don't
mean the war on you ain't over".

MCDUFFY
It's Jibberish.

FURLOUGH
Sounds like a threat to me-
Whadda we do now?

MCDUFFY
Well I suppose we'd better
Go and see Penn-he might
Arrange us a fight.
I'll give him a call.

McDuffy and Furlough get into
The Camper-van, and McDuffy
Takes out a Cell-phone.
He quickly dials a number.

MCDUFFY
(Into phone)
Hi.
(We hear a squeaking noise
coming from the phone)
Yes...yes...Sorry...we were almost
Killed today...you know? It was
On the news? Already...anyway have you
Got a fight for us? Uh-huh...never
Heard of him...sounds weak.  What?
Two of them...That's cool...what at the
Same time? Sheesh! Yep...meet you
There Tomorrow at 10? Of course
I mean ten in the morning...yeh...bye
(He hangs up)

FURLOUGH
Was Chris as stupid as
Usual?

MCDUFFY
(Joking)
How'd you guess?

FURLOUGH
Has he got a fight
Made up?

MCDUFFY
Yep...it's scheduled for Tuesday,
I got a fight and you got a 
Fight.  I'm against some
Asshole called David Ramsbottom
And you're against a big guy
Called Daniel Grimmer. 

FURLOUGH
Right-cool.

ROAD

We see from behind the Camper-van
As it disappears into the distance. A man
Stands in the middle of the road.
He wears a black suit, shades and
Has a bald head.  In one hand
Is a Machine-gun.

HOTEL-ROOM

Furlough lies on his bed-and
Looks rather reflective.  McDuffy
Reads a book. 

FURLOUGH
What d'you think of
It? 

MCDUFFY
I'm only on the
Second bloody chapter.
It's just all boring crap.
So far the most interesting thing
That's happened is the cat coming
Into the room-and even that sucks.

FURLOUGH
Look-"Virgins never marry"
Is a good book.

MCDUFFY
Yeh-okay, I believe you
Now do I have to read it?

FURLOUGH
Yes!

He turns and looks at
The window-rain beats
Down on it, and drops
Of water slowly roll down it.

EN SUITE BATHROOM

This is a part of their 
Room, inside it is pretty
Simple- a mirror, shower,
Sink and a toilet.  Some cheapy
Soap sits on top of the cold
Tap.

Suddenly we notice that the window is 
Open-a black-gloved hand quietly
Closes it.

CLOSE ON:

The mirror.  Suddenly two
Hands appear in front
Of it, they hold a machete.
We see the reflection of
Someone with a hood
Over their head.

CRRRRAAAACCCKKK!

The two hands bring the
Machete down on the mirror and
It smashes into a million
Tiny pieces.

HOTEL ROOM

Our heroes hear the noise.

MCDUFFY
What the hell was
That?

FURLOUGH
It came from the
Bathroom.

McDuffy grabs a baseball bat.

EN SUITE

Our heroes enter-but no-one's
There.  The mirror is smashed
And on top of it is a note
Saying
"You will die-mirrors never lie".

FURLOUGH
It's a poem.

MCDUFFY
Some assholes smashed our
Mirror.  It was probably
The same guy who put that thing on
The car.

FURLOUGH
It's not a car-it's
A Camper-van.

MCDUFFY
Whatever. It think one of
The Gangmembers escaped and
Is after us.

FURLOUGH
I sincerely doubt it.

VOICE
(O.S)
Room service?

They wheel round and see Skeeter, a young Hotel-Clerk.

MCDUFFY
Damn it! You scared the
Life outa us.

SKEETER
I usually have that
Sorta thing on people-
Jeez! What'd you do to
That there mirror?

FURLOUGH
Someone came in and Smashed it-they
Left this note.
(He hands it to Skeeter)

SKEETER
Ah-ha.
(Pulls out a Gun)
Here's ya room-service.

FURLOUGH
What's this for?

SKEETER
You two're ruffians, ain't
Ya. I know ya kind.  Stand
Over there 'else I'll fire.
An' I've gone near done
It before.

MCDUFFY
**** off, man.  We didn't do
it.

SKEETER
(Puts the gun away)
If I find out that you
Have.  I'll sure do come
And kill y'all.

He exits.

STAIRS

Skeeter walks through the hall
And down the stairs.  He mutters to
Himself.

SKEETER
******' Condomes, smashing up
stuff-like they own the damn place.

CREAAAK.

SKEETER
(Cont'd)
Wassat? Hello?

Suddenly a figure, dressed
In black, with a hood covering
Their head appears, this person
Holds a machete.

SKEETER
Who're you?

FCUSSH! FCHSUSS! Skeeter is cut up
By the blade.  And his body drops into
The shadows.

SKEETER
AAAAGGGHHH!

ROOM

MCDUFFY
(Trying to read)
What now?

FURLOUGH
Sounded like a scream.

Suddenly The Machete-killer somersaults
Into the room.  The killer is no taller than 
McDuffy.

MCDUFFY
(Standing up)
Who're you?

FWOOOSH!  The blade sinks into
His arm and he screams.  But
Furlough grabs him and they run. With
The Killer chasing them.

PARKING-LOT

Furlough and McDuffy burst out only to be confronted
By the Bald guy.  

FURLOUGH
You get in the car-I'll hold him off.

McDuffy nods and painfully
Gets into the Camper-van.  He gets
It in reverse.  Then he hears a CLANG
The Killer drops out of nowhere onto the bonnet
Of the car.

MCDUFFY
SHIT!

McDuffy reverses the car into a wall.
And the Killer is wedged in the windscreen.  And McDuffy
Comes face to face with it.  Suddenly the hood falls
Down to reveal---Jane.

MCDUFFY
What're you doing here?

JANE
You killed "Orange" damn you!
DIE DIE DIE!

She tries to slash him, but he grabs her arm.  

MCDUFFY
I don't normally kill women-
But I'll make an exception in your case.

He drives straight into the wall-and
Her legs which are dangling through the other side
Of the windscreen SMASH straight into the wall.

Furlough faces off with Bald-guy.

FURLOUGH
Who're you?

BALD-GUY
No-one.

He walks off.  Furlough scratches his head.

MCDUFFY
(O.S)
C'mon.

FURLOUGH
Coming.



THE END
