CAR – NIGHT In the car we can see the shot from the gangster classic: RAY LIOTTA as Henry Hill driving, ROBERT DE NIRO as Jimmy Conway in the passenger seat, and JOE PESCI as Tommy DeVito in the back. Conveniently, we can’t see the other side of the back seat – CUT TO: The other side of the back seat: JOHN, in pinstriped suit, sits there, looking out the window. JOHN Thanks for the ride to the airport, guys – I really appreciate it. Back to the real movie. The same opening shot of the three of the actual gangsters. Eventually, we hear some banging – seemingly coming from the trunk. RAY LIOTTA What the fuck is that…? Jimmy… did I hit something? CUT TO the shot of John: John turns around to look out at the trunk. Turns back around. JOHN Oh that’s just my luggage. I must not have secured it very well. My bad. Back to the movie – main shot. JOE PESCI What the fuck is that? RAY LIOTTA

Is it a flat? On JOHN: JOHN I’m telling you – it’s just my bag. I have some bathing suits in there. It’s no big deal. Just fuggedaboutit. Back on main shot from movie.

SHOT OF Joe Pesci reaching for a knife in his coat. De Niro holding a shovel… Liotta OPENS THE TRUNK, and REVEAL: A mere CARRY-ON BAG sitting loose in the trunk.

We see his hands reach in to move the bag, but a knife comes forward and stabs the bag! JOHN No! What are you doing! SHOT OF: Pesci stepping back away from the trunk with the knife. De Niro reveals a gun and FIRES into the trunk a few times. JOHN That’s my carry-on! More GUNSHOTS and THE LONG SHOT of DeNiro firing into it.

He mouths “sorry” to everyone. INTERCOM/DEAN Is that John? EVERYONE IN UNISON

Yes, Dean. INTERCOM/DEAN If he didn’t do such a good job, I’d address his tardiness. But he seamlessly changed film history to tell the world that it’s safe to travel to the Dominican Republic.

When you go to church.

BRENNAN I think you’re exaggerating now. ORPHEUS When you pay for your taxes. BRENNAN It’s not that bad. ORPHEUS It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes that have blinded you from the truth. BRENNAN You, my friend, need a vacation. CUT TO:
