Me Love You Long Time



Hey there, crime kids. Happy Wednesday. It's time once again to take a trip to the dark side, where your most violent fantasies become sins of the flesh, right here, where the hardboiled action is non-stop, at the coolest crime joint in cyberspace ... at That Killing Feeling.

In Chapter 23 of GUN-WILD, with the cops hot in pursuit, trigger-happy trust fund heiress Cam Clinch and career criminal Rod Funk make their escape in the RV with their hostage ... and plow right through the crowd on the Venice Boardwalk ...

EXT. VENICE BEACH BOARDWALK - DAY

THE WINNEBAGO
Takes off like rocket,
PLOWS into the crowd.

People SCREAM,
JUMP out of the way.

It SMASHES into a vendor’s TABLE.
Cheap, shitty jewelry
FLIES in the air.

THE POLICE CRUISER
Turns left. Follows them.
Picks up speed.

POLICE OFFICER (O.C.)
(electronic)
YOU, in the RV -- STOP, NOW!

IN THE WINNEBAGO
Cam looks in the rearview.

CAM
They’re FOLLOWING US.

Asian Art Dealer SCREAMS.

CAM
SHUT UP, fucking CHINK!

ASIAN ART VENDOR
I’m Japanese, not CHINESE.
We don’t LOOK ALIKE.

CAM
Yes YOU DO, motherfucker!

THE WINNEBAGO
SWERVES.

Careens into a SIDEWALK CAFE.
PLOWS into tables. CRASH.

Patrons LEAP out of their seats.
JUMP out of the way.

IN THE WINNEBAGO
Rod looks at Cam.

ROD
Hold on tight.
I got an idea.

He STOMPS on the brakes.

ON THE BOARDWALK
The Winnebago SCREECHES to a halt.

The police cruiser SMASHES
into the rear end. CRASH.
The hood CRUMPLES.

IN THE WINNEBAGO
Rod turns left,
pulls into an alley
between buildings.

BOBBY AND TAYA
Come running up the boardwalk
toward us, weapons drawn.

They race up
to the ruined cruiser.

BOBBY
You okay?

IRATE COP
Yeah. FUCK-HEADS.
(points)
They went down that alley.
Big fucking RV.

BOBBY
Goddammit.
(to Taya)
C’mon --

And they RACE
toward the alley.

IN THE ALLEY
The Winnebago turns
right onto Speedway,
a narrow street which
runs behind the boardwalk.

IN THE WINNEBAGO
Rod downshifts.
Slows down a bit.

ROD
Okay, where do we go,
where do we go.

CAM
Turn left into that alley.

THE WINNEBAGO
Turns left.

Lumbers through an alley
between walkway streets.

A tight squeeze.
It pulls over. Stops.


IN THE WINNEBAGO
Rod turns. Looks at Cam.

ROD
Okay, what now?

CAM
We grab the money,
go jack new wheels.

ROD
The money’s floating
in the tub, doll.

CAM
Then you watch Egg Foo Young here,
and I’ll go wrap it up in a towel.

She gets out of her seat.
Moves toward the rear of the bus.

ASIAN ART DEALER
Sits in his seat.

Trembling with anger.
Glares at Cam.

ASIAN ART VENDOR
Egg Foo Young is
CHINESE FOOD.
NOT Japanese.

Cam comes up to him.
Places her gun against his head.

CAM
You’re confusing me
with someone who gives a fuck.
(CLICKS the safety)
Go ahead. Give me a reason.

ROD
CAM. Stop fucking around.

CAM
(lowers her gun, to Asian)
This is your lucky day, Grasshopper.
(strokes the barrel)
Me love you long time --

  1. I just got some great visuals of this scene in a movie... all those buffed and tanned bodies on bikes and blades scattering like ten-pins... two dollar jewelry with 30 dollar price tags flying all over...

    Woo Hoo! Wow! Great scene!

    Inexplicably... I am hungry for sushi...

    What's up with that? ;-)

  2. It was great fun to visualize that, especially as I ride my bike there almost every day ... has been a fantasy of mine for a LONG time ...

    Bwahahahaha!
