INT. BOB'S HOUSE. DAY They're sitting at the coffee table in Bob's great big living room. It's got high ceilings and two Persian rugs. They're eating sandwiches and chips. BOB If you're that worried, maybe we should just steal one. DIGNAN What are you talking about, Bob? BOB Can you use a coaster. Bob slides a coaster under Dignan's glass. ANTHONY Did you ever steal a car before? BOB Yeah. I've stolen two cars before. One Jaguar. And one Trans-Am. With T-Tops. That Trans-Am was fun to drive. DIGNAN You stole a Trans-Am. BOB Yes. I did. DIGNAN OK, Bob. BOB It's true, Dignan. DIGNAN Well. What do you want to do? You want to steal one or just drive your car? BOB (thinks for a minute) I'll just drive my car. INT. DELI. DAY Anthony's playing pinball at a machine in the back of a little grocery store. Dignan's watching. DIGNAN Anthony, we'll get two hundred for the coin collection alone. That's less than what it's appraised at. ANTHONY But Dignan, do you really know that much about rare coins? DIGNAN I know about money, Anthony. I know the value of money. Plus the earrings are worth three times that. Anthony looks at Dignan. Dignan points at the pinball machine. DIGNAN Your ball. Dignan tries to hit the flipper. ANTHONY I told you not to take the earrings. Anthony keeps looking at Dignan. Dignan doesn't look up from the machine. Anthony turns and walks away. DIGNAN You got another ball. Dignan watches him go. DIGNAN I'm playing your game. EXT. SIDEWALK. DAY They're walking fast down the sidewalk. ANTHONY The list, Dignan. I know you remember the list because you signed it. "Things Dignan was not supposed to touch." DIGNAN Every valuable item in the house was on that list. ANTHONY That doesn't make any difference. I bought those earrings for my mother on her birthday. They have a very special value for her. DIGNAN Yeah, but I can't be sorting through that shit in the middle of a burglary. There's just not time for it. ANTHONY Then you shouldn't of gone in there, Dignan. Maybe we should have robbed your house. Did you ever think of that? Dignan stops walking. Anthony looks back at him. Pause. ANTHONY What? Dignan turns and starts walking the other way. ANTHONY Where are you going? DIGNAN I don't appreciate you ridiculing me. ANTHONY How was I ridiculing you? DIGNAN You're making fun of my family. You know there's nothing to steal from my mom and Craig. You know exactly what you're saying. ANTHONY That's not what I meant, Dignan. They both see something. They keep walking. Dignan looks back down the sidewalk. DIGNAN Did you see that? ANTHONY Yeah, I saw it. DIGNAN I'm lookout. ANTHONY Dignan, it's got an alarm. DIGNAN I don't think so. Just reach on in. ANTHONY That sets it off. DIGNAN No, just do it real quick. (starts down the sidewalk) I'll meet you down there. Dignan cuts into an alley. Anthony turns back. Looks at a parked car. Looks left and right. Walks to the car and reaches in the half-open window. An alarm goes off. Anthony unlocks the door and opens it. Leans inside. Grabs a wallet off the seat. A MAN standing on the sidewalk watches Anthony get out of the car. Anthony looks at him, then walks down the sidewalk not too fast. He turns down an alley and runs. EXT. ALLEY. DAY Anthony comes around the corner and meets Dignan beside a dumpster. The alarm is still ringing in the distance. Anthony starts looking through the wallet. ANTHONY It had an alarm. DIGNAN Yeah, I heard that. ANTHONY (counting the money) Five, seven, eight dollars. He looks at Dignan. DIGNAN (taking the wallet) Holy shit. What'd I tell you? ANTHONY Eight dollars. DIGNAN That's not bad. Anthony keeps looking at Dignan. Dignan smiles. He hands Anthony a five dollar bill. Anthony looks at it. He takes it. He puts it in his pocket. Dignan puts out his hand to shake. Anthony waits a second. He shakes Dignan's hand for just a second and walks down the alley. Dignan smiles and walks behind him. INT. HAMBURGER PLACE. NIGHT Anthony and Dignan are sitting at a table with Bob. ANTHONY What do herbs have to do with it? I don't understand the -- BOB Pot is a herb. It's just like any type of gardening. DIGNAN How much could you grow? Realistically. BOB As much as I want. When these plants bud I'll probably have about six thousand dollars worth of weed. DIGNAN Six thousand dollars? Come on, Bob. BOB You should take a look. I have an entire crop in my backyard. ANTHONY In your backyard? How do you protect them? BOB It's private property. Plus I have Hector. ANTHONY Hector woudn't do anything. BOB But he's got a loud bark. That's the most important thing is a loud bark. DIGNAN If it's that easy why doesn't everybody grow them? BOB Good question. Bob looks at Anthony and Dignan. He suddenly gets worried. BOB Don't you guys tell anybody about my plants. DIGNAN You're paranoid, Bob. BOB Yeah, but don't tell anybody. ANTHONY Could you grow cinnamon? BOB I don't know. Sure, I guess. ANTHONY You could make your own cinnamon toast. Bob looks at Anthony for a second. He looks at Dignan. Back at Anthony. BOB Are you a fag? LITTLE RICHARD You're the faggot. Bob turns around to see LITTLE RICHARD, short but muscular, wearing a down vest and a baseball cap. BOB Little Richard. I don't believe it. They'll let anybody in this place. Sit down. Little Richard sits down. BOB Dignan and Anthony, this is Little Richard. He's crazy. Totally nuts. LITTLE RICHARD (smiling) I don't know about that. BOB Little Richard. Trust me. You're insane. Jesus, this guy used to carry a percussion bomb around in his trunk. You do not want a guy like that loose on the streets. LITTLE RICHARD It seemed like a good idea at the time. BOB The one and only Little Richard. DIGNAN Are you named after THE Little Richard? LITTLE RICHARD (stares at Dignan) Ha! Ha! Ha! Why don't you stick it up your ass. Great group of guys you're hanging out with. Little Richard goes out the door. DIGNAN What was that all about? BOB I can't believe you said that. DIGNAN What did I say? BOB I told you he's crazy. ANTHONY But he didn't say anything. DIGNAN Hang on a second. Dignan gets up and walks out of the restaurant. Anthony and Bob look at each other.
