Loser's Promise - Calling Gina after the Heist...

Excerpt 2 of 2 from the feature length Screenplay

(formatted for this post)

EXT. RESIDENTIAL STREET- DAY 

It's a beautiful day, but the bright sun takes its toll as Loser sweats and walks at a good clip along the sidewalk. He talks on the cell phone, channeling his anger into his stride. 

From here, intercut as necessary. 

LOSER: Gina, it's me -

GINA: Who is this? 

LOSER: Don't do that, Gina! Don't even fucking pretend! It's Frank! 

GINA: Frank! Oh, my god where are you? 

LOSER: I'm standing in the middle of nowhere! Some suburban maze-

GINA: What are you doing there? 

LOSER: I'm heading north. 

GINA: Listen, I th-

LOSER: What the fuck happened back there, Gina? 

GINA: What-

LOSER: Tell me you didn't set me up. Please don't tell me you set me up again-

GINA: No, Jesus, Frank, how can you even say that-? 

LOSER: What the fuck happened, Gina? Where's the fuckin' money? I mean I’m not tryin’ to be greedy, I just want my cut-

LOSER: I'll tell you what the fuck happened! Your "inside man" flipped a bitch and started a rumble with all those apes in suits-

GINA: Watch it, Frank- we're on cell phones-

LOSER: Where's the money? 

GINA: I don't know! I don't have any money. Did you hear me? I'm all by myself here! 

LOSER: Come get me-

GINA: I can't. I'm ditching this heap and getting mine back. Where're you headed? 

LOSER: Home. But I won't-

GINA: Good. I'll meet you there. Give me a couple hours, okay? 

LOSER: Great- no, hey perfect! All right then. I'll meet you at my place. If I'm not there when you get there, don't worry, I'll be-

But she’s already hung up.
