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 there's
no problem I'll get your money.
I wouldn't get my hopes up.
Maybe I'll call Barboni and ask him
if he wants to invest in my movie.
He's not a movie fan. Gimme the key.
Oh, Harry.
Tell him he's got to be out by 5am.
The actor'll only work one night.
I gotta go. Yeah.
Coming!
- Who is it?
- Me.
Oh, fuck!
I heard that.
Hello, Doris!
Harry Zimm!
You look like a wet kiss.
Mmm!
Yum! Aren't you gonna offer me
whatever it is you taste like?
Come in, Doris.
My favourite colour! Putty.
Yeah, I like it.
What do you want, Doris?
I miss Murray, Harry.
Yeah, I miss him, too.
Hell of a good writer.
I made him what he was.
He was a hack. He couldn't get a job
writing for anybody but you.
I'm being honest. He was
a lousy writer but a good husband.
I didn't know till it was too late.
Yeah, well, 20/20 hindsight
and all that.
I hate being alone.
The house is so quiet, so Ionely.
It needs
a man's touch.
Nice necklace, Doris.
Mmm!
Doris...
I don't know how I feel about this.
You seem to feel fine about it.
I mean morally. Murray was a friend.
Murray's dead.
Does this mean you'll reconsider
our deal on Mr Lovejoy?
No, but I talked to a gorgeous
young executive at Paramount
who happened to get his hands
on the script.
What'd he say?
He said if Martin's interested,
I can get half a million for it.
Don't worry, Harry.
I'm still
