doing lunch in a place like this.
I'm working on a few things.
I hear you bagged Martin Weir
for Mr Lovejoy.
Word gets around, huh?
Chili Palmer told me
when he called me over to talk about it.
He showed you my script?
Yeah. I was wondering
why he would do that.
The wife sues the airline?
Some gutsy babe!
Good looking, too, like Karen.
When do I meet the husband
and give him the look?
That's not so simple.
There's a mob guy.
You owe him money.
He wants to take you out
because you broke his nose.
Keep going.
At this point, basically,
that's gotta be it.
That's all you'll tell me?
The reason we came by
was to talk about Mr Lovejoy.
We understand that you read
the script and you loved it.
Refresh my memory.
Listen, how'd you like
to get your hands on $500,000?
Pay me back at your convenience,
no interest.
Are you serious?
All I want in return
is to work on this movie with you.
I've got some ideas
on how to fix it up.
Can I get you anything else?
Another one for Mr Zimm. A double.
You're just going to give me
this $500,000?
We'll talk about that
but first I gotta know...
...how'd you hook up
with this Chili Palmer?
Mr Lovejoy was good.
I'll call Buddy, set up a meeting.
Who's Buddy?
- His agent.
- Karen knows him.
You are interested?
I'm intrigued.
Take an element of The Cyclone...
...the way the visual fabric
is maintained...
...while the metaphor
plays on different levels.
Is this your ride?
I like to sit high,
check everything out.
It is the Cadillac of mini-vans.
Ho...
Check this out.
Mind if I take it for a spin?
He was watching Letterman, huh?
Sneaky, that Chili Palmer.
Did he ever find that dry-cleaner,
the one with all the money on him?
Leo? I don't know.
I bet he did and he ain't giving you one
penny to help you out, not the way I am.
Assuming I go along with this,
when can I have the $500,000?
Whenever you want.
The money's in $100 bills
in a locker at the airport.
At the airport?
It was waiting out there on a deal
that didn't go through, Harry.
One you don't want to know about.
I don't know...
It's not a thing you'd do,
so why not send Chili Palmer?
If he gets busted,
you're out of the thing, Harry.
C18.
The magic number.
Cat.
I'm positive it was Susan Hayward.
It was Rita Hayworth and Glenn Ford.
Excuse me, Harry.
Wait here.
I'd like you to meet
my associate, Bear.
Stuntman, champion weightlifter,
as you might have noticed.
Throws things out I don't want.
Turn around and go back to Miami.
A stuntman. Any good?
Am I any good?
That's not bad for a guy his size.
If you can get out of here
before I take my coat off...
...I won't clean up the floor with you.
You don't know me.
You only think you do.
- That guy is a stuntman.
- Yeah, he was in Creatures II.
Rough business, this movie business.
I may go back to loansharking
for a rest!
What are you still doing
with those guys?
He happens to be loaning me
$500,000. No strings.
I can write any kind of agreement.
Cash or cheque?
Cash. It's in a locker
at the airport at this moment.
A locker at the airport?
Tell me you're not that stupid.
You're being set up.
He's paying you back.
That right? He's setting me up?
Why did Catlett say
I should send you to pick it up...
...since you haven't done a thing
for me except show Catlett my script?
You're right,
you're not being set up.
At least Bo has invested
in three of my movies.
We spoke with Martin.
We?
- Chili and me.
- Really?
Told us to call Buddy,
set up a meeting.
A meeting. You and Karen?
Harry...
He's been in town two days
and he thinks he's David O Selznik.
Shall I deal with Bo or will you
talk with your dry-cleaner?
I've found him,
but forget about Leo's money.
Do you have it?
If I gave you Leo's money you'd
have Ray Bones all over your ass.
Who?
Ray Barboni.
He owns Leo now that Momo's dead.
Who the fuck is Momo?
Where do you get these names?
I'll go to the airport and if
