Scene 8: Freddie gets of the taxi and gets to a near pay-phone and calls Lucci.

Lucci: (sounding tired)

Yeah...

Freddie:

Hey Lucc, It's me. I checked our guy but I think he might have made me.

Lucci:

What?? How the fuck did that happen?

Freddie:

Relax, It's not sure...Anyway I did something stupid, I kind of picked a fight with a kid, he might have seen that...(pause) Lucci are you there?

Lucci:

Freddie:

...Yeah, a student.

Lucci:

Jesus Christ, How the f...anyway let's just...YOU FUCKING CUCKSUCKER, how fucking more stupid can you fucking get, you piece of matherfucking...

(Freddie slightly removes the phone from his ear ashamed, while Lucci keeps on cursing)

Lucci:(after a while)

Anyway, anyway lets just relax, and...think...

Freddie:

Hey Lucci I'm sorry man I...

Lucci:

Shut up!

Freddie:

OK.

Lucci:

It's happening, tomorrow...You'll get the “paper” from our friend Paulie and it'll be done by that time tomorrow, got it?

Freddie:

Yeah sure no problem.

Lucci:

Anything about him?

Freddie:

He's fucking a schoolteacher.

Lucci:

Good, proceed as I said, and no screw ups this time.(hangs up)

(The scene opens, Lucci is naked on his bed with Amanda)

Lucci:

You have to do Everything yourself...

Amanda:

What was that all about you almost got a heart attack.

Lucci:

Business staff, don't worry about it.

Amanda:

You look really stressed, I think it will help to talk about it.

Lucci:

I said don't worry about it, why you got to care about such things ah?

Amanda:

You mean I shouldn't ask about you? Am I here just for one reason?

Lucci:

Hey I didn't say that, but we only know each other a few days so...

Amanda:

Maybe we shouldn't have...(she gets up)

Lucci:

Hey, hey sit down relax I'm sorry...It's just been really stressful and...I didn't wanna worry you.

Amanda:

Well I guess that's OK.

Lucci:

Oh that reminds me I got you a little something.

(he gets out of his bedside table a small case and gives it to her, she opens it)

Amanda:

Oh my God that's incredible, how much did you pay for it?

Lucci:

That's not a nice thing to ask.

Amanda:

That's...wait what's this glass right here?

Lucci:

What glass...(he sees a broken piece of glass in the case) Oh, (silently) fucking Vinni, (laughs) It's nothing I broke a vase earlier, so how'd you like the watch?

Amanda:

It's amazing thank you, thank you...

(They kiss and the scene closes)
