Who's Sorry Now?

Hey there, crime kids. Happy Monday. 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 21 of THE HEISTERS, it's a clusterfuck of epic proportions when sleazy b-girl Doll Montana gets 'up close and deadly' with her ex-boy toy Jackie Tempel.


INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT - FLASHBACK
Jackie Tempel lies on the
side of the bed
in the dim light.
Back turned.

Doll creeps in the room.
Softly goes to the
other side of the bed.

Stares at him.
Thinking.

She looks at the sword
on the wall.

Reaches up and
GRABS it.

DOLL
Wake up, ASSHOLE.
It’s JUDGMENT DAY.

Jackie wakes up.
BOLTS upright in the bed.

Looks at Doll.
Sees the sword.

Starts to freak.
Scared shitless.

JACKIE
D-d-doll.
What are you doing here?
Put the sword down.
You could hurt somebody.

DOLL
No SHIT, shit-head.
I’m here to FUCK YOU UP.

JACKIE
Wait, wait, wait --
what the FUCK?
Just because we
BROKE UP?

DOLL
We didn’t BREAK UP,
you fucking DUMPED ME.

JACKIE
Doll, I told you.
I’m clean now.
I still care about you --
but not that way.

DOLL
(waves the sword around)
So who’s the NEW snatch?
She looks old enough
to be your MOTHER.

JACKIE
Doll, please.
Put the sword down.
She doesn’t mean
anything to me.
(beat)
Not like you did.

DOLL
Did? Did? DID?

JACKIE
Doll, I’m sorry,
but I can’t see you.
My sponsor says I
have to stay away
from people that are using --
(beat)
PLEASE put the sword down.
You’re scaring me.

DOLL
SCARING you?
Well, how’s this for SCARY?

She stops waving it.
Points the sword at him --

JACKIE
Doll. No. PLEASE --

And she PLUNGES IT
into his neck, THWICK.

Then KICKS IT.
The sword CRUNCHES
into the headboard.
Pinning him like a doll.

Blood oozes out.
Starts staining the sheets.

DOLL
That’ll teach you to
FUCK with me.

Doll goes to the closet.
Sees two big duffle bags.
Grabs them.

She lays them down.
Zips one open.

Sees it’s STUFFED WITH CASH.
Her eyes BUG OUT.

DOLL
Holy fucking SHIT.

Doll ZIPS it shut.
Wild, crazed look
in her eyes.

DOLL
I’m fucking RICH.

She GRABS both bags.
Starts heading out the door.

Stops.
Looks at Jackie.

His face a rictus
of permanent surprise.

DOLL
Who’s sorry NOW, asshole?
