Leave The Driving To Us


Hey there, crime kids. Happy Friday. 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 31 of THE HEISTERS, wheelmen Kaspar and Jefty prepare the tricked-out vehicles for the robbery, but get accosted by a suspicious cop who wants to know what they're for ...


INT. WAREHOUSE - DAY - FLASHBACK
An ambulance is parked near the entrance
with the back doors open.

Two boards rest against the back,
serving as a ramp.

Kasper walks over to a tiny vintage
Triumph Spyder right behind it.
Gets in. Starts it up.

Then slowly drives it into the ambulance.
He crawls out of the car, then sits up front.

ON THE OTHER END OF THE WAREHOUSE
A big panel truck sits.
It also has its back doors open.

And also has boards set up
like a ramp at the end.

Jefty sits in a late-model
Mercedes sedan parked behind it.

REVS the engine. Then slowly
drives the car inside the truck.

A PAIR OF UNIFORMED COPS
Appear in the entrance.
Walk over to the ambulance.

BEEFY COP
What’s goin’ on here?

ROOKIE COP
Look. He’s got the little car
inside the ambulance --

BEEFY
I see.
(to Garza)
Would you please step out
of the vehicle?

Garza sees them. Gets out.
Does a great job
of hiding how freaked out he is.
Flashes a big smile.

KASPER
Hello, officers.
(nods at the ambulance)
Pretty cool, huh?

BEEFY COP
Neat trick. What’s it for?

KASPER
A movie.

ROOKIE COP
Really? Cool --

BEEFY COP
What kind of movie?

KASPER
It’s an independent film.
About a bank heist --

BEEFY COP
You don’t say --

ROOKIE COP
Who’s in it? Anybody famous?

KASPER
Luis Guzman --

ROOKIE COP
Who?

BEEFY COP
You’d recognize him. Great actor.
Been in lots of films. Boogie Nights,
The Limey, Carlito’s Way --
(smiles)
I’m a bit of a film buff myself.

KASPER
Cool.

ROOKIE COP
What’s the name of the film?

KASPER
The Heisters.

BEEFY COP
Great title.
(smiles)
Well, we better get going.
Good luck with it.
Look forward to seeing it.

KASPER
Thanks, officer --

ROOKIE COP
Have a good day.

They walk away. Kasper watches them.
Heaves a HUGE sigh of relief.

Jefty comes up to him.
Eyes bugged out.

JEFTY
Holy fucking SHIT.
I would have pissed my fucking PANTS.

KASPER
I did.
(looks down)
Lucky for me they’re black --
