Chapter 2: THE BARISI BROS. - part 1

   INT. HOTEL ROOM - NIGHT

        TITLE CARD: PINE CITY, MN

        ALEX BARISI paces back and forth in front of the window while
        FRANKIE, BLUE, and HANSEN play a game of poker.

        Frankie is considerably older than the rest of them.

                            FRANKIE
                      (to Mitch)
                  Would you sit down already? I ain't
                  paying to replace that carpet 'you
                  wear a hole through it.

        Alex sits down at the kitchen bar and sips on his drink. He's
        still edgy.

                            BLUE
                  So where the fuck is Joey at
                  anyway?

                            ALEX BARISI
                  He'll be here.

                            FRANKIE
                  I tell ya, I've put up with alotta
                  that kid's shit over the years, but
                  I think it's time we thought about
                  finding someone else. 

                           ALEX BARISI
                  We need him.

                           FRANKIE
                  Why? There's alotta guys out there
                  can do what he does.

                           BLUE
                  Ones that know how to read a
                  fucking clock.

                           ALEX BARISI
                  I said he'll be here.
                      (checks his watch)
                  We got plenty of time anyway.

                           BLUE
                  I gotta fifty that says he shows up
                  high.

        Alex gets up from his chair and heads towards Blue.

                           ALEX BARISI 
                  What the fuck is your problem?

        Blue stands up ready to fight as Hansen and Frankie stand up
        to keep the two apart.

                           FRANKIE
                  Come on guys let's not do this now.

        Neither man is backing down.

                           FRANKIE
                      (to Mitch)
                  Like I said it's nothing personal
                  against you and it's just something
                  we been thinking about. 

       Alex heads back for the window as Blue sits back down slowly.

                           FRANKIE (cont'd)
                  Come on, let's go over the plan one
                  more time. Just to keep ourselves
                  occupied.

       Alex gets a worried look on his face as he rushes to the
       window.

       From Alex's POV we see three cop cars pulling up to the
       front of the hotel with their lights flashing.

                           ALEX BARISI
                  Fuck!

                           FRANKIE
                  What is it?

                           ALEX BARISI
                  Cops!

       The men quickly scrap the money off the table and reach for
       their jackets.

                           ALEX BARISI (cont'd)
                  Somebody toss those plans in the
                  folder and lets get the fuck out of
                  here.

       Hansen gabs the four sheets of paper one of which appears to
       be blue prints with the words FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF PINE
       CITY on the top in bold letters.

       They're all about to head out when a knock at the door
       freezes them all in their spots.
