"I have two dead bodies in the trunk." "I should call the police, but I can't because one of them I accidentally killed." " If that isn't a confession, what the hell is?" " There's more." "you said something about old hang-outs." "Club Voltaire, I'm going to a place called Club Voltaire." "Meet me there, OK?" "Two dead bodies?" "that voice was creepy Not an ounce of remorse" " Anything else, Mr McHugh?" " No, thanks." "Craig McHugh?" "Why?" "Do I know you?" "No but you know my sister." " I don't even look like my brother." " Yeah, you do." "you dress like him too." "I thought you stole this credit card." "you know my brother?" "Have you seen him?" "Upstairs." "Chinese guy." " Tom?" " Your boyfriend says he'll be right back." "Why?" "Where did he go?" "Upstairs." "To find his brother." "Thanks." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Craig?" "If you'd like to make a call, please try again." "For help, dial the operator." "McHugh." "Tom?" "Tom, is that you?" "Uh... uh... no." "Are you OK?" "Don't... don't come in!" "It's a real mess in here." " Um..." " What is going on?" "I'm coming in, Tom." "No, no!" "Hold on." "Tom?" "What is this place?" "What's going on?" "Are you hungry?" "Let's get some Chinese food." "Nervous?" "I don't think I'm acting nervous." "you're acting like you have rabies." "Why did you disappear like that?" "I mean, that's pretty rude." "you're right. you're right." "I'm sorry." "I thought my brother was upstairs, so I went up there, but he wasn't." "Maybe I want to meet your brother." "He's your hero, right?" " Under the circumstances, that's a bad idea." " What circumstances, Tom?" "Circumstances beyond my control." "What does that mean?" "I don't understand what that means." "Geena, I know this is just another night to you, but it's really important to me, all right?" "Tom, you're a really nice guy..." "Nice, nice." "Right." "I'm afraid that's my one and only quality." " That's not true. you have other qualities." " I do?" "Yeah. you're spontaneous." "And you're sincere." " And you've got great taste." " That's not me, it's somebody else." "I'm just doing that so you won't ditch me." "Besides, you forgot "funny"." "I mean, I am funny, right?" "Yes, you are funny." "Excuse me?" "Is this your vehicle?" "Uh, yes." "Yes, it is." "Is there a problem, Officer?" "Yeah." "you're missing a tyre." "Give me the keys, I'll help with the spare." "No, no, no!" "No, uh..." " Wow." " you can't leave anything around here." "Uh, well..."

"Come here." "I caught you just in time." "Take a look at this." "It's oil, huh?" "No." "That ain't oil." "I'd say that was transmission fluid." "When it gets all red and sticky, it's time to have it changed." "OK, I'll change it." " How about some music?" "Something relaxing?" " Yeah." " Tom, they took your tapes." " My tapes?" "Well, this is relaxing, huh?" "Driving in eerie silence." " What was that?" "Is that a car phone?" " Uh, no, no." " It sounds like it's coming from the trunk." " It's..." "It's a trunk car phone." "One of these jobbies you put in the trunk then it doesn't bother you while you're driving." "Don't you think you should answer it?" "Yeah, I should." "Craig McHugh was here with a date." "He kills a cop, then goes out and celebrates?" "What next?" "Sir?" "There's a dead Chinese man upstairs." "McHugh was the last person to see him alive." "This guy is over the edge." "He's a psycho." "Who would steal from the head of the Chinese Tong mafia?" "There sure aren't many Chinese people around." "I guess it gets touristy on Saturday nights." "The Chinese are probably inside making a living." "Look at this place!" "We should go in here." "All right. you go in." "I'll ask someone to recommend where to eat." " OK." " All right?" "Oh, no, no customer use." "I wanted to see you." "No, no, no, no!" "you go away." "Go to Happy Moon piano bar." "Find nice boy there." "Nice young man there." "Oh." "No, no." "My shirt, my shirt." "I need to know what my shirt says." "Oh..." "It's backwards." ""Look in pot. "" "No, no. "Look in pot" is an old Chinese proverb." " An old proverb?" " Yeah." "It's about a young man." "Very poor." "but he inherits a pot from his uncle." "Oh, it's very beautiful." "He take pot, he shows it to neighbour. "Look, look, how beautiful!"" "He shines it up, he puts it up on shelf." "He never look s inside." "See, he never realizes inside it's full of gold." "So he starved, never knowing he is so rich." "you'd have thought it would have jingled around when he moved it." "Proverb!" "Always look inside a beauty." "Pot is only as good as what is inside of it." "See?" "Thank you." "An adventure is in the air." "Like a wind from a faraway place." "Fortunes made and lost." "Men in the wrong place at the wrong time." "Lives changing... all because your loins led you out tonight." "It was not my loins." "I was curious." "In women, curiosity is an urge that springs from the loins." "Oh, but not in men?" "In men, everything is an urge that springs from the loins." " Geena." " Ah." "Speaking of the devil..."

"Mr McHugh, your table is waiting." "We're really not that hungry." "Mr Lew would like you to be his guests for dinner." "Well, we could eat." "While officials will not call it a murder spree, two men are dead." "McHugh is believed to be armed and very dangerous." "Thanks." "Boy, am I starving!" "We need to get out of here." "Why?" "you don't like this place?" "A bottle of your best Champagne." "Compliments of Mr Lew." "I'd like to propose a toast." "It's not really a toast, I..." "Would you promise me another chance if I blow it tonight?" "you're doing fine." " So how do you know Mr Lew?" " I don't." "This is a misunderstanding." "He knows my brother." "And I don't think he likes him." "And you know how when you don't like somebody, you don't like their whole family?" "What's I'm saying is, I don't think Lew brought us here to serve us dinner." "Your dinner." "Compliments of Mr Lew." "It could be dangerous." "At the very least, he won't be a congenial host." "Peking Duck, our house specialty." "If you require anything else - food, drink additional companions, anything at all, please, don't hesitate to ask." "Your money is no good here." "Let me put it another way." "I should have said this before, but I think he wants to kill us." "What, with MSG?" "I'm not kidding." "I'd feel a lot better if we just got outta here." "Wait, Tom, you said yourself that this is just some misunderstanding." "Can't you contact your brother and ask what's going on?" "It's what I've been trying to do." "Maybe I should try again." "I'll be right back." "We'll call you back soon." "Craig, are you there?" "Pick up the phone." "All right, listen." "I'm at a restaurant called Chez Lew in Chinatown." "Get here, OK?" "Now." "All right..." "Let's see, maybe he called in." "Strange." "Call Sharpie." "Tell him we've got his location." "McHugh!" "I hope you don't mind, I've taken the liberty of introducing myself to your lovely companion." "At last, we meet." "you're... different than I imagined." "Thanks." "Lew?" "Mr Lew?" "James Lew." "I hope you're enjoying your meal." "May I join you?" "Yeah, sure, sure." "Um..." "This is a really great place you have, James." "So..." "It seems we share many interests." "Beautiful women, exotic cars," "Manchurian vases of the late 16th century." "Oh, right." "I just saw an article on your collection." "Ah, you read." "Did you know how valuable some of those vases can be?" "Yeah, actually, it's funny because just today I heard a proverb about vases." "Actually, it's about a pot." "It's about this poor guy who gets a pot from his uncle..." "I know the proverb." "I don't." "What's it about?" "It basically says always look inside the pot." "This is just my interpretation, but shake it up and see if there's any money in it." "Oh, so now it's money you're after." "Only yesterday, you were begging me to spare your life." "And we made a deal, McHugh." "Deal?" "What's he talking about?" "I'm not the guy you made the deal with I'm not Craig McHugh, he's my brother." "Let me guess." "Your evil twin brother, right?" "Where is it?" "Where is my vase?" "Listen, McHugh," "I've been cutting you a lot of slack." "I have not held you accountable for Ho Wong's "accident" because I like you." "Did you know that he killed my cousin Ho Wong?" "It's our first date." "We haven't had munch time to open up to each other." "He's modest." "He told me it was all in self-defense." "Fine, I understand." "He was probably sent to kill you." "Come to think of it." "but Mr McHugh, enough is enough." "Don't you realise who you're dealing with here?" "Don't you know that you will never leave this restaurant alive unless you return my property?" "Tell him you're not Craig." "What the heck is your problem?" "Hey, hey, everybody, it's Mr Lew's birthday!" "# Happy birthday to you..." "It's Mr Lew's birthday!" "# Happy birthday to you" "# Happy birthday to you" "# Happy birthday to you" "# Happy birthday to you..." " What are you doing?" "The police are here." " The police will arrest me." "Oh, fine." "They'll arrest me because they think I'm Craig." "I'm wearing Craig's suit." " His suit?" " Driving his car." "And I'm paying for things with his credit card, so everybody think s I'm Craig." "Gee, I wonder why." "Look, just stop the car." "Would you stop the car?" "We're not going anywhere until you tell me exactly what's going on." "Where are your witnesses?" "McHugh blew in, threw a party for Lew, then took off." " I didn't know McHugh was a friend of yours." " I didn't know you wanted to meet him." "We should all get together and go bowling some time." "All I know is it's something to do with this vase of Lew's." "I think Craig might..." " I think he stole it." " All those cops because of a vase?" "I thought he was at Stanford studying Law!" "Now he's here stealing vases, he's pissing off girls." "God knows what he was thinking when he set up this stupid date!" "Craig set up this date?" "Wait a minute." "Craig called me?" "I expect most guys to lie about something." "How munch they bench-press, how many girls they've slept with." "What they expect out of a relationship, but... but you've created an alternate parallel universe." "Look..." "I wanted to call you the first time I saw you." "but it was too important to screw up by saying something stupid." "I just wanted to make a good first impression." "Tom, that's the idea." "To cut through all of that." "Find out if there's anything worthwhile on the inside." "Look in the pot." " What?" " The proverb, remember?" "I found it in the loft above Club Voltaire." "It was a message for my brother." "A message." "Wait, Tom. you know what that means, don't you?" "Yeah, it's a metaphor." " Beauty is in the inside..." " No, no." "It means that that whatever Lew is after is inside this vase." "Look in the pot, right?" "you're right." "I've got to find Craig." "Wait!" "What is this?" " Still no answer." " I have an idea." "When I was in Retail, there was a special number we could use to verify phone numbers of checks." "We can get his address this way" "Yes." "Um... 5-5-51-8-0-9." "Craig McHugh." "Yeah. 2856 West Eastwood." "Great." "Thanks." "So let's go meet your perfect older brother." "It's McHugh." "Tell your boss I've got his valuable family heirloom." "I stole it back from the people I sold it to." "It was even easier than stealing it from you clowns." "I've got an alibi, so no trick s." "Yeah, whatever you say." "I'll make the delivery, just call off your leg-breakers." "you wouldn't want me to get nervous and drop it, would you?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "What a mess." " Oh, wow!" " Craig!" "Whatever's inside that vase must be pretty valuable, huh?" "Craig?" "Oh, gee, think they missed anything?" "you can learn a lot about a person from their garbage." "Yeah, I've heard that." "Here's his phone bill." "He gets his calls forwarded from California?" "Oh, man, I can't believe he's been here this whole time." "Wait, let's think about this, OK?" "Whatever it is, it has to fit inside a vase..." "Drugs maybe?" "The detective said it was evidence." "What detective?" "Uh..." "At the gas station, there was... this detective came to talk to me." " He thought I was Craig." " And?" " He stopped thinking I was Craig." " Tom!" "Why can't you be straight with me?" "All night, it's been, "By the way, we're looking for Craig and he might be in trouble. "" "And, "For dessert, they're gonna kill us!"" "Listen, in the trunk there's the phone..." "That was the detective's." " you stole his phone?" " No, no!" "He dropped it." " He dropped it." " It gets complicated." " Tom!" " Geena, I can't tell you everything because..." "If I did, you'd leave." "Don't bother because I'm leaving anyway." "Geena..." "Geena!" "What?" "!" "Craig McHugh." " How good to find you in." " I'm not Craig McHugh." "No, of course not." "you drive his car, you answer his phone, but still, you're not him." "Listen to me, I'm not Craig McHugh!" "Nevertheless, it's good to find you in." "Geena!" "Geena!" "Geena!" "This is a big mistake!" "Ahh!" "Inside." "Move, move!" "Now get in the car." " Stop!" " Get in the car!" "Geena!" "Tom!" "Get up." "Get up!" "Lew, you don't know who you're dealing with." "you have until 2am to return my property." "The pot for the girl." "you know where I live." "Could you just jog my memory a little?" "2am, McHugh." "After that, I can't guarantee her safety."

" What the hell was what?" "There's somebody in there." "Want me to tell Sharpie?" "Yeah." "Tell him we've got McHugh." "Oh, man." "Craig, I need that vase now!" "Shunt up!" "I said, "Shunt up!"" "Craig!" "They took the tapes." "They weren't after the vase." "They were after what was inside the vase." "What was inside the vase was a tape." "Look, Condon, I didn't complain when you upped your price for protection." "I gave you a bonus when you took care of Scheski." "Why are my people getting busted?" "This anti-drug thing is getting outta hand." "you gotta show results, Lew." "you want the FBI nosing around?" "Condon the detective." "All right, McHugh, we know you're in there." "He's not in there." "Listen up." "Wilkins, Jesse!" "you guys cover Sleepy Hollow." "Carver, Mitchell, Babbling Brook Way." "Hotchins, Romano, Bonny Meadow Lane!" "Simpson, Lazy Bunny Hutch!" "Don't take chances." "This is a war zone!" "# I'm on my way" "# I'm on my way" "# Your lust hs getting hotter" "Oh, damn it!" ""James Wo Chong Lew. "" "What a day!" "Your boyfriend has caused me no end of grief." "He's not my boyfriend." "So there is a limit to McHugh's charm." "Ben, Jerry, go get some ice cream." "Would you like anything?" "Food?" "Something to drink?" "This is kidnapping. you could get in a lot of trouble." "I don't want to talk business." "I am tired of business." "Let's try to relax." "I can't relax." "I'm a prisoner." "Sure you can." "you just need a little help." "Help me!" "Help!" " Oh." " Help me." "Hi, Craig." " Help me!" " Help you?" "I could help you." "On the other hand, if I don't, all your friends, family and neighbours will call up and order flowers for your funeral." "And I can make a lot of money!" "I can make a lot of money on tips... if I still had my job!" "you stiffed me for my tip." "Fine, that's OK." "you try to run me off the road... no problem!" "I'm a flower boy!" "It all comes with the territory." "What's your problem?" "What's that?" "Did you say something?" "I can't hear you." "Take that thing out of your mouth." "What's your problem?" "you're my problem. you're my problem!" "you're my..." "No problem, no problem." "No problem, man." "I'm fine." "I'm all right." " What are you gonna do about it?" " I want a divorce!" "Hi." "I've got a flower delivery for Mr Lew." "Flowers at two in the morning?" "Yeah, no kidding." "It's some kind of emergency." "Emergency flowers?" "Uh... hey, don't ask me, OK?" "I think he wants to impress some girl." "OK, right, right." "The girl, yeah." "Better get on up there then." "OK." "Thank you." " Chalk one up for the good guys." " Find the body?" "Not yet. but the engineer swears he hit him." "He found this on the track s." " Kill a cop, kiss a train." "Seems about right." " Mr Sharpsteen?" "Be so kind?" "Let's see what Forensics has to say." " What have you got, Katz?" " Strange ruminations from the trunk." "The Chinese gentleman was one Ho Wong." "A hit man for James Lew." "He was waiting in the trunk to kill McHugh." "Fired a single round... through the trunk lid here." "Mistakenly felling peace officer Albert Condon." "Wait a minute, that's got to be wrong." "McHugh killed Al." "Not so, my friend." "Ho Wong is our man." "He killed Officer Condon." "Judging by the leak in the exhaust, I'd say Wong died of asphyxiation." "No, McHugh was no killer." "Hai!" "Hai!" "2.30." "I'd say you were being stood up." "Come on." "you wouldn't want them to come and find me dead." "I don't think you realise how many friends I have in the police." "Please, sit down." "Hai!" "Lew, if you do anything to me, you'll never get that evidence you're after." "Evidence?" "What evidence are you talking about?" "Oh, I know all about it." "The evidence in the pot." "So McHugh did tell you." "That's too bad." "Yours will be an honorable death, McHugh." "Hai!" "This sword has been in my family for three centuries." "you asshole." "Honor?" "Shit!" "I'll kill you with my bare hands." "Ah, Happy Birthday," "McHugh." "What the h...?" " Geena!" " Are you all right?" " I'm fine." " Good." "Damn it, Tom!" "Or is it Craig?" "No, it's Tom." " You promised me another chance if I blew it." " You blew it." "Come on!" "Hands up, McHugh." "Hand over the tape, Craig." " Don't." "Once he has the tape, he'll kill us." " I'll kill you anyway!" "Do what you want with the window, just leave the girl alone." "Lew, move and I drop your precious pot." "Lose the gun." "Go ahead!" "Your boyfriend stole everything that was valuable." "He had a fence to tell him which ones to take." "Check the rest of the grounds." "Give me the tape." "Give me the tape!" "Uh-uh-uh." " I don't think so." " Now who the heck are you?" "I'm Craig McHugh." "Stop picking on my brother, or I drop your heirloom." "We tried that already." " Please." " Craig, he doesn't want the vase." " Tom..." " Craig, he doesn't want the vase!" "Tom, I know a little more than you." "I set you up as my alibi... which you fowled up!" " you don't want the vase?" " I have what I want." "If you'll excuse me, I have to call the police." "A thief and his accomplices were found shot here in self-defense." " I made copies of that tape." " What tape?" " you're bluffing." " I did." "I can prove it." "Give me the phone." "15 seconds." "No funny stuff, McHugh." " Hi, I'm Richard." " I'm Betty." "And that was Napoleon." "We're not home..." "Look, Condon, I didn't complain when you upped your price for protection." "I gave you a bonus when you took care of Scheski." "Why are my people getting busted?" "This anti-drug thing is getting outta hand." "We gotta show results. you want the FBI nosing around?" "Condon." "Lie low for a few months, then we'll talk to Sharpie and Doheny and cut a new deal." "Like I said, if the FBI gets wind of this, we're all screwed." "Unbelievable." "They're all in on it." "Don't like that copy?" "I made more." "If we don't return safely, I've left instructions for the tapes to be sent to the FBI." "No Wa t, wa t, wa t, wa t" " Great, the police." " Great, the police." "Nobody move, nobody gets hurt." "I'm glad you're here." "He was gonna kill us in cold blood." "Is that right?" " We've got evidence that'll put him away for life." " you found the tape?" "He's got it, but I have a copy at home." "Only two?" "So you were bluffing." "Kill him." "Finish him off for me!" "Earn your payoff." " you're the payoff cops?" " The payoff cops?" " This isn't fair." " Shunt up!" " Who is this guy?" " It's McHugh, you idiot." "Kill him!" " I'm not Craig McHugh!" " He's not Craig McHugh, I am." " Positive, he's not Craig McHugh." " Kill 'em both." "And the girl." "One of them must be McHugh." "McHugh's already dead." "In fact, he died a hero." "One of your pals killed Al." "Then McHugh killed him." "Then you, you killed McHugh." "And now, Lew, I'm gonna kill you." " Kill me?" " That's what I said!" "you kill for me." "I say who kills who." "Kill them." "And while you're at it, kill yourself." "They're getting away!" "Freeze!" "Nobody move" " Drop your weapons. you're under arrest." " For what?" "Bribery, extortion and extreme stupidity." "Hey, why so glum?" "you could thank me for coming to your rescue." "Thanks, Craig." "Thank s for everything." " What the hell's your problem, Tommy?" " What's my problem?" "I spent my life being compared to my perfect older brother and you don't even exist." "you're a lying, thieving, sociopathic criminal." "And I thought you were a lawyer." "Now we're splitting hairs, aren't we?" "Get outta here." "Take your S200 shoes, your stupid shirt." "I don't want anyone else to mistake me for the legendary asshole Craig McHugh." " you're an ingrate." " Ingrate?" "you almost got us killed." "I'm sorry." "I guess I screwed up." "I put a little adventure into your lives, that's it." "Go on, go back to your safe, suburban homes." "And lock your doors and watch your MTV." "but I'll tell you this munch, when you're old, sitting on your wrinkled asses, there'll be one night, one date out of your whole boring lives that you'll remember and it'll be tonight." "Oh, Tommy?" "Don't tell Mom and Dad, all right?" "I... want my tip," "Craig." "Hey, no problem Dwight." "you're very strange, you know." "I still don't know a thing about you." "Good night."
