Hi
Daniel, what's up?
Daniel
Not
now John
John sees the police
and hides his face then enters his shop.
Cut to:
Int.
John's Weapons Shop
Johns shop is 10-15 meters square, tiny, packed with tourist junk
weapons, Ninja stars, batons, Sai's, swords, plastic pistols, etc.
Johns shop assistant is a seriously manly ladyboy, in fact if wasn't
for the breasts you'd think she was a truck driver.
One annoying middle age German backpacker is in the shop looking
around.
Ladyboy
Hi John, how
are you today?
John
Besides my bad luck with
gambling and a huge hangover I'm great. Yourself ?
Ladyboy
Good, except
I haven't been paid this week yet.
John
Anyone one come in? Oh,
hang on, one minute, Conan is fighting today
John pulls out his phone
and calls Conan
John
HEY,
are you still sleeping, get your lazy ass up – you have a fight
tonight. I'll pick you up after the fight. (Hangs up)
In the background the
German Backpacker is intently stabbing at an imaginary foe with a
knife, in a very uncoordinated fashion. John and Ladyboy look puzzled
at the German Tourist
German Backpacker
(Holding Knife) How much
is this?
John
(To ladyboy) How much is
that?
Ladyboy
(To John) 250 Baht
John
(To Tourist) 250 Baht.
(To Ladyboy) So did anyone
one come in?
Ladyboy
No
John
Anything delivered for me?
Ladyboy
(Bored) No
John
Sell anything?
Ladyboy
(Bored) No
John
Did something come in?
The German tourist now has
a pair of Nunchakus and is swinging them around in a uncontrolled
fashion, but with a look of intense concentration on his face.
German Tourist
How much for this?
John
(To ladyboy) How much is
that?
Ladyboy
(To John) 500 Baht
John
(To Tourist) 500 Baht.
(To Ladyboy) So did
something come in?
Ladyboy
No... oh,
yes, here
Ladyboy gives John a small
box, like a shoe carton. John opens box. It is full of papers, he
looks in box, thinking the papers are wrapping.
John
What's this, nothing is in
here?
Ladyboy
It's your unpaid bills
John drops the box on the
counter and starts to walk out.
Ladyboy
Oh wait something actually
did come in for you. From Mr. Wong
John
What is it?
Ladyboy
I don't know I didn't look
into it but Wong says this one will be a sales hit.
John
The only big seller Wong
has ever had is his sister
John opens box and pulls
out a stun gun. He pulls the trigger and sparks fly between the
prongs with an audible buzzing.
John
Does it work?
German Tourist
(Excited) How much for
this?
German tourist is holding
Samurai sword at them.
John
(To ladyboy) How much is
that?
Ladyboy
(To John) 2500 Baht
John
(To Tourist) 2500 Baht.
(To Ladyboy) So does it
work?
Ladyboy
Does anything Wong sends
you work? Half of what he sends is junk
Closeup: John looks
closely at the shock gun, his eyes travel to the German Tourist, eyes
back to the stun gun, eyes to the German Tourist, a gleam enters his
eye and an evil smile spreads on his face.
John places the stun gun
against the tourist neck and pulls trigger.
A puff of smoke comes from
the contact point and the tourist falls to the ground.
A flip flop shoots up,
Johns eyes follow the flight of the flip flop up and back down.
Ladyboy has face of shock,
John is amazed
John
Wow! Tell
Wong to order some more!
I need to borrow your car
Ladyboy
OK,
but I need it back tonight
Ladyboy tosses John her car keys. John goes to walk out
of the shop.
Ladyboy
Hey where are
you going? What about the this guy?
John
I don't care do what ever you want with him
John walks out.
Ladyboy left in shop alone with the unconscious tourist, Ladyboy
looks around wondering what to do.
Then a sly (sexy) smile, she sways her hips over to the door
closes it and puts up the closed sign turns back to the tourist and
scene cuts....
Cut to:
Ext.
Street
John is in a car, he hits the brakes hard. The car stops abruptly,
almost hitting Pooh and the Dom and Ron as they cross the street. The
Bodyguards put their hands on the bonnet. John starts hitting the
horn.
Ron gets ready for action he goes to get John
John is scared
Dom puts his hand out and grabs Ron's shoulder
Dom
Hey
cool it, this idiot isn't worth our time, we're not going to lower
ourselves to this guys level
John sees this and steps half out of the car with his
electro-shocker
John
Come
on
Pooh
Stupid
Falang, you don't know who you're talking to, get lost, or I'll let
Ron fuck you up
What
is it with these loosers today? God!
Cut to:
Ext.
Under Highway
John pulls up in the car.
Cut to:
Bracelet
Ext.
Night. Bangkok Ghetto
Wide angle shot over looking Bangkok at night,camera pans down to
Daniel walking in the Ghetto.
Daniel is walking, still scruffy from his earlier action,
occasionally he dusts himself off.
Off screen in the middle distance a girl screams.
Daniel comes alive, he lifts his head towards the sound listens
then leaps into action.
Ext.
Ghetto Side Street
He runs around a corner and finds a pretty young girl – Ying –
with her back against a wall, surrounded by 4 Drunk Thai guys. They
are laughing and making lewd grabbing gestures at her, it is clear
that she is in serious trouble.
Daniel
Hey what's going on here? Leave the girl alone.
Thai Drunk #1
(In Thai to his friends)
Does anyone speak English?
Thai guys look at each
other and shake their heads.
Ying
(In Thai) He
said to leave me alone
Thai Drunk #1
(In Thai) Or what? What
are you anyway - the garbage man?
Drunk Thais laugh
Daniel
I don't want any trouble,
just let her go
Ying
(In Thai to the Drunks) He
said to let me go or he will kick your ass.
Thai Drunk #1
(In Thai) Get lost or
we'll kill you first
Ying
(In English to Daniel) He
said you can take me and leave quickly
Daniel steps forward and
reaches out for Yings hand. Thai Drunk #1 roughly grabs Daniel by the
collar and breathes into his face
Thai Drunk #1
(In Thai) I told you to
get lost
Daniel
Hey, I don't want any
trouble, let's work this out we can talk
Ying
(In Thai) He said let go
of him your dirty soi dog, and he wants to know why you eat
shit, he can smell it on
your breathe
Fight starts. Thai Drunks
use bottles and 'weapons' laying around the street.
Dan showcases his fight skills, he defeats a few and the others
get the message that he is too good for them and they leave. Ying
helps a little during the fight.
Ying
Thankyou,
I have to get home now before my family get worried.
She turns to leave and
takes a few steps away
Daniel
Hey
wait, uhm, could I get your... uhm, can I ask you... can I ask you
for a date?
She stops, turns and walks
back to him close, she bends forward and places a light friendly kiss
on his cheek
Ying
Sorry, I don't date Falang
As the girl goes their hands slip apart and we see Dan slip off
her bracelet, the girl goes and we see Dan turn his back and hold up
the bracelet to examine it
Daniel
(Quietly) At least something for the days efforts
Cut to:
The Plan
Int.
The Hideout
Dirty, dingy and cheap wooden house, stuff laying around
everywhere. Some of the floors are on a definite slant.
John holds an ice pack on his groin, John is shuffling cards,
Conan is eating.
Conan and John are sniggering.
John
That girl got you good.
Conan laughs, Daniel walk
in, looking like a beaten up homeless person
Mike
What happened to you?
Daniel
I was
caught stealing a wallet, Police chased me I had to jump from the 2nd
floor, then I jumped a wall to get away, and fell a long way into a
garbage container. The Police chased me all over a building site then
I got away. On the way here I got into a fight with some Drunks
trying to rape a girl, I saved her and now I'm here.
You
don't look so good yourself. What happened to you?
Conan
He got
beaten up by a little girl
John and Conan laugh some
more. Daniel goes to the fridge to get a beer, then joins the poker
game
As they play poker Conan holds his cards close to the table the
people either side sneak a look at his cards from time to time.
Mike
I wasn't beaten up – a
student kicked me in the nuts when I wasn't looking
(Eager to change the
subject) Talking of fights, how did your fight go Conan?
Conan
I only
fought two guys this time, it was easy, but my manager told me to
make it look like I was loosing at the start – I don't understand
him
Mike
So
Daniel tell us about the girl
Daniel
She
was gorgeous, long black hair, beautiful face, curvy body. Hi-So I
think, you should have seen her
Mike
If you
brought here here we could see her, where is she? Did you get her
number?
Daniel
I
tried, but she doesn't date Falang
John
It's
not that she doesn't like Falang, she just doesn't like you. You have
no idea about girls
Daniel
Why
what's wrong with me? How do you get girls John?
John
When I go to a bar, even
before I buy my first drink I look around for the ugliest girl in the
bar. Then I go up and talk with her for about 10 minutes, I buy us
drinks. She falls in love with me because since she is so ugly no
other man will talk to her. I then excuse myself, being very polite.
I then go around for the
rest of the night trying my luck with the good looking girls,
drinking all the time. If I am unlucky with the good ones by the end
of the night I am so drunk that I don't care and I go back to the
ugly girl who is still waiting for me, no one else has talked to her
all night. Then I take her home.
Conan
doesn't notice a look of excitement on his face as he looks at his
cards
Mike
That's disgusting, what about when you wake up?
John
Yeah, well, sometimes sacrifices have to be made
Daniel
Conan, how do you pick up women?
Conan
looks up, raises his arms in a flex, showing his cards to everyone,
Mike and Daniel look at Conans arms, John looks at the cards. Conan
smiles and goes back to concentrating on his cards.
Daniel
Mike, what about you? How do you pick up girls?
Mike
Well
it's easy – with money you can have anything you want
Daniel
Johns business doesn't do well, Conan gets ripped off, your studio
doesn't do well. None of us has any money. It's true though with
money you can have anything you want.
Conan
Hey my manager looks after me, anyway I make more money than you.
You're just failed pickpocket
Daniel
visibly wilts at this criticism, he does not feel good about his
profession. John and Conan laugh.
Mike
Imagine that though a life with money, you could have anything you
wanted:
(Looking at John) Cars
(Looking at Daniel) Girls
(Looking at Conan) Food.
That would be the dream life.
Daniel
Suddenly I feel like robbing a bank
John
That's too hard. We could steal an ATM and jackhammer it open – I
saw it on “Cops”
Conan
We could get drunk, steal a car and drive up the highway at high
speed I saw that on “Cops” too!
Daniel
and Mike look at Conan strangely, John doesn't even notice Conans
stupid comments anymore.
Daniel
Stealing cars isn't a bad idea, they are worth a lot and it isn't
dangerous
John
How would we sell them? Can you imagine that four - Falangs selling
cars in Thailand without registration papers?
Daniel
We could break into houses, there are plenty of houses around here.
John
And what are you going to steal? Their kids? I raise for two
Daniel
No, that would be kidnapping. I'm out
