frisk him. Immediately, BILLY elbows the MAN WITH THE GUN
in the throat, delivers a quick flurry of knifehand karate
strikes to his face, breaking his nose, then holds him in
front of his own body. BILLY grabs the MAN'S hand,
wrapping his finger around the finger that was already
guarding the trigger, and straightens the henchman's arm,
using it to point the gun directly at FOLEY.
BILLY
It is not good to move. I put
three bullets between your eyes
before you take step.
FOLEY puts his hands up. BILLY turns to the SECOND
FLUNKIE.
BILLY
You. Take gun from under jacket
with two fingers and put on ground.
The MAN hesitates.
BILLY
Do it now or you will be smiling out
of your sleeve.
He does as BILLY says. BILLY pushes the FIRST MAN away,
holding onto the gun.
BILLY
I would say you need better
bodyguard than these two.
FOLEY
(to the two men)
Go over there. I'm going to have a
talk with Mr. Milligan.
INT. MERCEDES
FOLEY presses a button and a bar opens.
FOLEY
What do you drink?
BILLY
Vodka.
FOLEY
No shit. Where'd you get a name
like Milligan?
BILLY
Names mean nothing. I am
Yugoslavian.
FOLEY
Well, Billy. I'm in the shipping
business, and my drivers need
protection.
BILLY
I am a protector. You have job. I
do it. I need money.
FOLEY
Oh, don't worry, you'll make money.
BILLY
Except one thing. I do not hurt
people unless my life is in danger,
and I do not harm womans.
FOLEY
It's a deal.
They shake hands.
INT. BILLY'S APARTMENT
GORDY'S taking a hit of speed and washing it down with a
swig of vodka.
GORDY
Where'd you learn karate? Who are
you really? Ex-C.I.A.? Mercenary?
But BILLY has drawn into himself -- lips moving silently.
GORDY
You O.K.?
(holds out the speed)
Here, you want a B.B.?
BILLY "returns". He quickly checks out the scene -- where
he is and who he's with.
BILLY
(almost relieved)
Gordy.
BILLY smiles and takes a pill. After he swallows it,
GORDY offers him the vodka. BILLY reaches past him for a
beer.
GORDY shrugs and picks up a volume of poetry by Emily
Dickinson.
GORDY
(laughs)
Poetry? You read this shit? Or you
got a girlfriend I don't know about?
BILLY has never seen it before. GORDY reads:
GORDY
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all.
BILLY grabs it and throws it across the room.
BILLY
I've never seen it before.
GORDY
No? Then who the hell's it belong
to?
The book has landed in front of a painting of the
withdrawn, teenage girl with long pair parted in the
middle.
As we PRESS IN on BILLY, we CROSSFADE to:
INT. BILLY'S BEDROOM - MORNING
He's nine years old. DOROTHY'S approaching voice wakes
him up.
DOROTHY
Billy! you're gonna be late for
school!
She opens the door.
DOROTHY
Billy, come on.
He looks at her, confused.
DOROTHY
Let's go. I'm making blueberry
pancakes.
I
