EXT. BRICK'S PATIO - DAY
|
|
|
|
A gorgeous day. The sun is shining. But BRICK BRADDOCK, retired police detective, is sitting quietly, contemplating -- something.
|
|
|
|
The SCREEN DOOR slides open and DICK STEEL, his former partner and fellow retiree, emerges with two cold beers.
|
|
|
|
STEEL (O.S.)
|
|
Beer's ready!
|
|
|
|
BRICK
|
|
Are they cold?
|
|
|
|
STEEL (O.S.)
|
|
Does a bear crap in the woods?
|
|
|
|
Steel sits. They laugh at the dumb joke.
|
|
|
|
STEEL
|
|
(beer raised)
|
|
To retirement.
|
|
|
|
BRICK
|
|
To retirement.
|
|
|
|
They drink long and well from the beers.
|
|
And then there's a long beat.
|
|
Longer than is funny.
|
|
Long enough to be depressing.
|
|
|
|
The men look at each other.
|
|
|
|
STEEL
|
|
Screw retirement.
|
|
|
|
BRICK ^
|
|
Screw retirement.

INT. TRAILER HOME - DAY
|
|
|
|
This is the home of THE BOY BAND, AKA DAN and JACK. They too are drinking beer, and counting the take from their last smash-and-grab. Money, drugs, and ridiculous props are strewn about the table.
|
|
|
|
JACK
|
|
(in Vietnamese, subtitled)
|
|
*Did you know Brick and Steel are retired?*
|
|
|
|
DAN
|
|
Then let's retire them.
|
|
_Permanently_.
|
|
|
|
Jack begins to argue vociferously in Vietnamese (?), But mercifully we...

Steel, in the middle of a heated phone call:
|

STEEL
|
|
They're coming out of the woodwork!
|
|
(pause)
|
|
|
|
No, everybody we've put away!

From what seems like only INCHES AWAY. _Steel's face FILLS the *Leupold Mark 4* scope_.
|
|
|
|
STEEL
|
|
The man's a myth!
|
|
|
|
Steel turns and looks straight into the cross-hairs.

Woah woah woah, Brick and Steel!

Sure enough, it's Brick and Steel, roughing up their favorite usual suspect.

His minion approaches offscreen:
