Real Jake – Scenes 6 – 7
INTERIOR STATEN ISLAND MANSION – NIGHT
Camera pans the dark, expansive ground floor hallway, a very wide spiral staircase in it’s center. On a mantelpiece sit dozens of framed pictures, all of the same little girl, Carlotta.
EXT. STATEN ISLAND MANSION – NIGHT
The Russian man succeeds in picking the lock and enters the house.
INT. STATEN ISLAND MANSION – NIGHT
The man tiptoes into the hallway and up the spiral staircase. On the second floor, he walks directly to the third door on his right. He opens it and walks in. The room is the size of half a football field. It’s filled with every stuffed animal and toy imaginable. There is a not so miniature castle in a corner of the room. Carlotta is sleeping in an oversize princess bed. The man walks over to her bed, pulls out a small spray can, and proceeds to spray the girl’s mouth and nose. He waits a few seconds for the drug to take effect, picks her up, puts her over his right shoulder and exits the room. He’s nearing the spiral staircase.
Scene 7
INTERIOR POLICE STATION INTERROGATION ROOM – NIGHT
Jake makes another phone call to Pauli.
JAKE
Don’t hang up, Pauli. Please, I need some bail money.
INT. TAXICAB LOT – NIGHT
PAULI
You’re in jail? You’re such an asshole. You screw me left and right and now you want me to bail you out? Where’s the fucking cab?
Pauli holds the phone to his ear as Jake tells him the location of the vehicle.
PAULI (OVER THE LOUDSPEAKER)
Leroy, come to the cage!
Leroy takes his sweet time and slowly makes his way to the cage.
PAULI
I need you to bring back a cab from a police station uptown.
LEROY
Yeah.
PAULI
30th Precinct. Uptown. Your hood.
LEROY
Yeah.
PAULI
Yeah. Yeah. So what the hell are you waiting for? Go!
LEROY
How?
PAULI
How? Hop, skip, what the fuck do I care how.
LEROY
I got to bring the cab back here, right?
PAULI
Yeah.
LEROY
So this is business.
PAULI
Get to the fucking point, Leroy.
LEROY
You got to pay me.
PAULI
For bringing back our fucking cab?
LEROY
Well it ain’t my fucking cab!
PAULI
Fine.
Pauli collects some change and extends his hand outside the cage in order to give the money to Leroy.
PAULI
Here’s some change for the subway.
LEROY
I ain’t taking no fucking subway.
PAULI
No? Why not? You take it every day.
LEROY
Don’t mean I like it.
PAULI
Take the money and go take the fucking subway!
Leroy slowly walks away and sits back down in his chair by the table, and continues reading his newspaper.
PAULI (OVER THE LOUDSPEAKER)
Leroy! Fine, Leroy. I’ll get Hank to take you.
Leroy takes a sip from his coffee mug and doesn’t budge.
PAULI (OVER THE LOUDSPEAKER)
Overtime, Leroy. I’ll pay you overtime!
Leroy, very slowly, gets up from his chair.
