Eve
Be careful. All right. I'm gonna get some help, all right? Yeah. Hey, did you try to call?
Chev
You've been home all day?
Eve
I was sleeping in.
Chev
Sleeping in. That's great, Eve. Super great. You all rested, now? Glad to hear it. Listen, I've been fatally poisoned. A psychopath's on his way over to torture and kill you, but don't get out of bed, I'll be over in a flash. Could you fry up a waffle?
Eve
Sure, yeah. Come on over. I'll be here.
Chev
Right, you'll be there. Okay.
Eve
Bye.
...
T1 Thug 1
[Thugs lying in wait]
So, let's go get the bitch!
T2 Thug 2
Come on, please!
T3 Thug 3
All right, all right. Jesus!
Eve
Oh my God! Is this your new look or something?
Chev
Yeah, you into it?
Eve
It's gross. Are you looking for my other boyfriend?
Chev
Yes! You haven't watched TV today, right?
Eve
No, why?
Chev
Didn't think so. Come on, we're leaving.
Eve
Don't be such a freak.
Chev
Get dressed.
Eve
Actually, can you change the clock on the microwave? I never changed it back.
Chev
What?
Eve
The microwave. Can you change the clock? The daylight savings time, I never changed it back.
Chev
The microwave?
Eve
Yes.
Chev
Listen. I bought some flowers. They got **** up on the way over.
Eve
That's sweet! You okay? You look like you're on drugs or something.
Chev
You love me, yeah?
Eve
Yes.
Chev
Then I need you to do something for me.
Eve
What? What's wrong?
Chev
I need you to put some clothes on and come with me, right now.
Eve
No.
Chev
I'll change the clock on the microwave.
Eve
Okay. All right.
Chev
Shit's wearing off.
Eve
The waffle iron's on if you want to make one.
Chev
Great.
Eve
Great. You're so stressed out. Want some pot, or something?
Chev
Yeah! Ready! [Chev deliberately burns himself on the waffle iron]
Eve
What's wrong?!
Chev
I burned my hand.
Eve
Oh, my God! Let me see it!
Chev
Don't worry about it. Hey!
Eve
What the...
Chev
I'm sorry. That was completely uncalled for. Can we just...
Eve
Fine. Parked out the back. Darn! That... thing.
Chev
What thing?
Eve
The waffle thing, I gotta turn it off. Hello? Hello?
Chev
All right, very funny.
Eve
God, I hate that. Do you want to burn the building down? Ouch!
Chev
Sorry, honey.
Eve
[Chev has noticed the ṇeạrby thugs and deliberately spills the purse contents of Eve's purse to ḟịght them]
Nice one, Chev. Oh, there's my Tiger Balm. I swear to God, Chev. I don't know what you're on, but it isn't working for you. My hand cream! That's where you went. Chev? Can I have some help, here? Where's your car?
Chev
Actually, I took a cab.
...
Eve
[Chev and Eve are seated in a restaurant]
This isn't gonna be... This isn't gonna be easy, as they say.
Chev
Oh, ****er.
Eve
All right, here it is.
Chev
Sorry. I told you I was a video game programmer.
Eve
Yeah?
Chev
That was a lie. Actually... I kill people. Professional hitman. I freelance for a major West Coast crime syndicate. Last night was a job like 100 others. High dollar hit, nothing special. The Triads from Hong Kong had been moving in on the local drug cartels. My target was the number one man in L.A., Don Kim.
...
DK Don Kim
[Flashback of Chev clandestinely preparing to assassinate Don Kim]
Well? What are you waiting for?
...
Chev
Then, this insane idea comes in the back of my head, like a .45 slug at close range.
...
Chev
[Chev relents in killing Don Kim]
Congratulations.
DK Don Kim
Did I win something?
Chev
Your life, jackass.
...
Chev
So, sooner or later it's gonna happen, but I'm not doing it.
Eve
I see.
Chev
Instead you're gonna do something for me. You're gonna get out of town, disappear. I don't care where you go or what you do, so long as you're invisible for 48 hours. That's all I ask. Or, if you prefer, we can do it the other way. The way where I go to work, and you meet Buddha. See... I quit. I quit the business for you.
Eve
For me?
Chev
Yeah. I figure I call you that night and tell you everything. We get on a plane, leave this shit, never come back. Pretty crazy, huh?
Eve
You are so weird.
...
Eve
Are we going on a trip?
Chev
Well... I might be going on a trip, but you're not coming with me...
Chev
[Eve is walking quickly outside the restaurant]
Please! Wait, please!
Eve
Mob hits, Chev?! Chinese poison?! Do you know how ridiculous you sound?! If you're gonna break up with me, at least you can tell me the truth! What's wrong with you?!
Chev
Wait a minute, you trust me?!
Eve
No.
Chev
[Chev begins to succumb to the “Beijing cocktail”, then grabs Eve]
Make love to me.
Eve
What?!
Chev
I think it'll help.
Eve
What? Are you kidding? Get off me!
Chev
Take your clothes off.
Eve
No! No!
Chev
You said you wanted to be more spontaneous!
Eve
You're crazy! You're an adrenaline junkie with no soul!
Chev
Save me, Eve. Save my life!
Eve
Stop it! [Punches him] I'm sorry. Oh my God, are you okay? Are you okay? [Ċhev grạbs her ạgạịṇ] No! No!
Chev
Shit!
Eve
[Chev gets on top of her]
Get off! You filthy animal! Take me right here, in front of everyone! That's it! Come on! Do it! What are you waiting for?!
Chev
Jesus! Come on! I'm trying! Shush!
Eve
Oh, God! Now you can't get it up? Come on, get it up!
Chev
I'll **** get it up!
Eve
Goddammit, Chev!
Chev
Shut up! [Starts vigorously doggy-styling Eve and pumps with fists] I'm alive! I'm alive! I'm alive, you mother****ers! Oh, my God! Wow! Oh, my God! Yes! [All the passerbys all cheer in synchronity of Chev and he answers phone] Yeah?
Eve
What are you doing?!
Chev
Yeah.
Chev
Kaylo?!
K Kaylo
I've got Verona, man.
Chev
What? No shit? Where are you?
K Kaylo
Don Kim's shirt factory, upstairs.
Eve
What's the matter with you?!
Chev
5th and Alameda?
Eve
Who's at 5th and Alameda?!
Chev
Don't let that ****er out of your sight! Hear me? With you in 10 minutes. You got it?!
Chev
[Hangs up phone]
Honey, I gotta go. I'll call you! [Leaves]
Eve
[To bystanders]
Oh God, what are you looking at?!
CH Carlito henchman
[Ends a call on Don Kim's shirt factory rooftop]
**** call me talking shit! I'm doing my job. I'm doing my shit. I'm up here chillin', doing what I do. I'm a rooftop mother- [Chev comes up behind the Carlito henchman lightly pushing him and pointing a gun at his forehead] hey, Chevy! What's up, dog? You chillin'? You good? What a coincidence!
Chev Chelio
What do you mean?
CH Carlito henchman
What, you waiting for a bus?
Chev Chelio
Actually, I thought a helicopter... what is this?
CH Carlito henchman
What?
Chev Chelio
You working for the Chinese?
CH Carlito henchman
The Chinese?! You crazy? I wouldn't do that to you.
Chev Chelio
I am crazy. Where's Kaylo? [Raises up both hands] Okay, ding. Time's up.
CH Carlito henchman
[Chev lunges at the henchman]
What do you mean, "ding"?! [Chev grabs the henchman] What do you mean, "ding"?! [Chev throws the henchman off the roof]
Chev Chelio
Where is that mother****er?! [Chev then goes some floors below and appears before three Carlito henchmen]
CH Carlito henchman
Chev.
Chev Chelio
[Noticing the murdered body of Kaylo]
What the **** is this?!
CH Carlito henchman
Chev, baby. Take it easy.
Chev Chelio
Oh, you mean like this? [Points gun at henchman who just blinks eyes and turns head slightly] Now you tell me where that little toe-rag mother****er is; Verona.
CH Carlito henchman
Verona's got nothing to do with this!
Chev Chelio
What?!
CH Carlito henchman
Don Carlos wants you off the streets.
Chev Chelio
Carlito?!
CH Carlito henchman
You've totally lost your shit, dog! Your all over tv, destroying property, making unauthorized hits?! You are bringing the organization a great deal of embarrassment!
Chev Chelio
Organization?! You mean Carlito ordered all of this?!
CH Carlito henchman
Look, don't worry about Verona, we'll take care of him, the best thing for you to do is just find some nice dark quiet place... and just die. I mean, we all gotta die some time right?
Chev Chelio
Die. Just die. What, you think I've got **** written all over my face? [Chelios points to forehead and a CGI text of **** appears on Chelios forehead] So, I'll just die. [Suddenly Eve comes up in elevator]
CH Carlito henchman
What the... What the... [Chev opens fire on henchman starting a gun fight and Chev gets shot trying to escape in elevator]
Eve
You got shot!
Chev
Mother... Jesus!
Chev Chelio
Eve, move!
CH Carlito henchman
You, asshole!
Eve
Don't talk to him like that! My boyfriend kills people!
Chev Chelio
Nice.
Eve
Oh, God! I had to see if you were telling the truth.
Eve
Jesus! ****! Are they really...
Chev Chelio
They're dead.
Eve
How do you... How can you do that?
Chev Chelio
I told you, baby. I quit.
Eve
[He parks the car]
Where are you going?! [He gets out]
Chev Chelio
Stay there, honey. [He walks into a hardware store and Eve finds him hammering nails into his leg] Jesus! ****!
Eve
Chev!
Chev Chelio
Asshole! I can't feel my leg. Shit!
...
Chev Chelio
I've been trying to call you for a half hour. Where the **** have you been?
Doc Miles
In my office. Can you make it over here?
Chev Chelio
Sure' why not?
...
Doc Miles
Chocolate' what's this **** receipt from Gold Foods Market for $254?
Eve
I hate television.
...
Chev Chelio
I owe you again, Doc.
Doc Miles
Chevy' you're my best customer.
Chev Chelio
What is this stuff?
Doc Miles
Synthetic epinephrine... diluted with some saline.
Chev Chelio
Feels sort of good.
Doc Miles
Well, I got a little meth in there' too. You're feeling the endorphins.
Chev Chelio
Wait a minute. I'm not better?
Doc Miles
No' you're not better. You're in such shit shape' it's stunning. I can't believe your heart's beating. You should be in a **** medical journal.
Chev Chelio
So, what are you going to do?
Doc Miles
The solution acts as a competing inhibitor. It's pushing the poison out of your receptors' and replacing it with a chemical. It's just a temporary fix.
Chev Chelio
Then what?
Doc Miles
Then you're ****. I can put you on life support and string this out for a few days. But you're going to go into a comma at some point. Does she know?
Doc Miles
Why don't I load you up with something, and you can go out in a beautiful dream.
Chev Chelio
A dream.
Doc Miles
Can I do that for you?
Chev Chelio
No, no, no. That's not what I want.
Doc Miles
What do you want?
Chev Chelio
One hour. I want one hour.
Doc Miles
Give me a ****in' break.

NR News reporter
So, the wild rampage that began 9am in L.A. Continues. The suspect, still at large.
...
A Associate
We didn't give him enough Chinese shit.
Ricky
You think?! [Answers phone] Dude, it's him! What's up, corpse?
Chev
Bonjour, douche bag, Thought you might be interested in a deal.
Ricky
Oh, you a dealer, now?
Chev
Don't you worry about what I am. Listen, I want the antidote.
Ricky
Oh, the antidote?!
Chev
That's right, the antidote.
Ricky
What you prepared to give me?
Chev
How about that jewelry I got off that **** brother of yours, you ****? Don't pop a blood vessel, you little penis.
Ricky
Okay.
Chev
You like the deal?
Ricky
Whatever!
Chev
Be at the downtown Lint in 20 minutes. You know the spot?
Ricky
Yeah.
Chev
Don't be late, or I'll trade the thing to a whore for a hand job. Look, I said I said I'd ****in' be...
Ricky
****!
Chev
See you later, sunshine. Dammit! ****!
Ricky
Yo, it's Verona. You won't believe this call I just got.
...
Chev
It's gonna be all right, baby.
Eve
But you said...
Chev
No, no. Things have changed. There's an antidote. I can make a deal for it, but I got to go alone.
Eve
I'm scared.
Chev
Of course. You'll be safe, now. And I'll be back.
Eve
Promise?
Chev
I promise.
Ricky
What's happening, bro?!
...
AM Asian man
[Chev steps into hotel elevator] [In woman's voice]
Where did I go wrong?!
Chev
You ****in' just say something?
AM Asian man
It's like talking to the wall.
Chev
Mom?
AM Asian man
I'm amazed you remember you have a mother.
Chev
Please, I haven't got time for this.
AM Asian man
You're never around. I've never seen you in the house in sixteen years.
Chev
Yeah, yeah, yeah, right mom, with you popping valium like tic tacs. I really wouldn't wish at all someone would so this. Why would I stick around for entertainment like this?
AM Asian man
[In Ạsian language]
That's hurtful.
Chev
Please, I've no time for this.
AM Asian man
[In Orlando's voice]
You got no time, period. You're a persistent mother****er, Chelios. I give you that.
Chev
Orlando?
Chev
This is weird.
AM Asian man
Yeah, I know this is weird, but you know, this has gotta stop sometime. [In Ạsian language] Who do you think you are? Michael Myers [In Ricky's voice] They pop you and you keep getting up?
Chev
I'm the terminator.
AM Asian man
You was, but here's a new gun in town.
Chev
You know, I just don't get it. Why didn't you cut me up when you had the chance?
AM Asian man
Too easy, mother****er. Look at you. Bi-polar, sadomasochistic tendencies... Adrenaline junkie...
Alter Chev ego
...addicted to violence... probably spends every day looking for the big thrill, the big rush, Carving up a guy while he screams in his own blood and excrement, would be like... like a gift. A warriors death.
AM Asian man
[Chev's voice]
Hell, you'd probably get off on it.
Chev
Why do you ask this?
Alter Chev ego
Maybe it's best for a guy like you. Going downhill. Winding down. Inevitable. Under so many circumstances.
Chev
Who are you anyway?
AM Asian man
[In Asian language]
Don't you know?
Chev
I think I'm starting to figure it out.
AM Asian man
[In Chev's voice]
Better late than never. You know you're gonna die up there.
Chev
Yeah, maybe. But I'm taking you with me. [Alter ego Chev becomes radiant with UV light and then disappears with the Asian man becoming default] Some pills, Doc.
AM Asian man
[In Asian language]
Did you **** say something?
Chev
[Ċhev ạpproạçhes]
Hello, girls.
H Henchman
Hold up. Give me the piece. [Çoṇḟịsçạtes Ċhev's ḟịreạrm]
Chev
Now, isn't that a **** picture?
C Carlito
Chelios. What a **** nightmare you are.
Chev
No shit.
Ricky
Whoa! Wait a minute. You pat him down, again. I know he's carrying something. [Ḥeṇçhmạṇ pulls out ạ tube çoṇṇeçted boẋ]
C Carlito
Let me see that.
Chev
Mother****er.
C Carlito
Clever. What is this, an insulin pump?
Chev
Basically.
Ricky
What the **** is Insulin? [Carlito holds up finger for silence]
C Carlito
Ephedrine, right?
Chev
Yeah.
C Carlito
You're very resourceful.
Chev
Found a new master, little bitch?
Ricky
I'm nobody's bitch.
Chev
You'll be a bitch when Carlito hires you for half what he paid me.
Chev
You'll throw boss a reach-around, show him you're a good bitch.
Ricky
I'm nobody's little bitch! [Points gun at Chev] You ****in' hear me? He'll pay me what I tell him to pay!
C Carlito
That's enough! Sit down! It's been a long **** day. In the end, you have to admit, it all works out quite nicely. Don Kim gets his bullet, thanks to you, and Hong Kong gets a goat to take the fall. Please understand, it's nothing personal.
Ricky
Speak for yourself. [Mimics a kiss]
Chev
That what I think it is?
C Carlito
It's the Chinese shit. Hold him down.
Chev
[Makes a gun gesture]
Not so fast, mother****er!
Ricky
He's gone dipsy-do, yo! [Chev points at him] Whatever, psycho!
C Carlito
I'm afraid the Houdini act is over, my friend. [Points at a henchman who falls down from a headshot]
Ricky
Our Father, who art in...
DK Don Kim
So, this is how it is! [Camera pan-out reveals Don Kim and his hitmen team]
Ricky
It's Don Kim! He's supposed to be dead!
Chev
Presto. [Gun fight between henchmens of Carlito and Don Kim ensues]
NR News reporter
Police have moved to surround the Hotel Lint, where the madman behind today's mayhem... is holed up and making a desperate last stand. Officials have confirmed gunfire on the sundeck. Our news chopper will bring live, uncensored coverage from above the hotel. Again, this coverage is uncensored, so any small children present should leave the room.
...
Ricky
[Ricky has given chase to the helicopter with Chev in pursuit]
Get me out of here! I'll kill you, Chelios!
Chev
Too late!
C Carlito
[A Don Kim thug has thrown a grenade]
Look out! [Grabs a henchman to cover the grenade]
Ricky
Let's get the **** out of here, now! Let's go!
Chev
[Points gun]
Present from Kaylo.
Ricky
Now what?
Chev
Now you say shit!
C Carlito
Where the **** were you?!
Ricky
[Plunges syringe into Chev's neck]
Who's the bitch, now?! [Shoots Carlito and climbs into helicopter] No, no! You fly, mother****er! Mother****in' fly!
Chev
You're dead!
Ricky
[Chev and Ricky are fighting in the airborne helicopter and they fall out in free fall still fighting]
Oh my God! You're dead! You're dead, mother****er!
Chev
Thought I'd told you I'd kill you, you little bitch! [Chev then snaps Ricky's neck who drifts away lifeless and Chev then makes a phone call]
Chev
Hey, its Eve. I'm glad you called but I'm not here. Leave a message, unless you're selling something 'cause I'm not interested. If you're not, then just... Wait, time's up. Hey, doll... Looks like I let you down, again. Seems like all my life I've just been going... going... going... I wish I'd taken more time to stop and smell the roses, so to speak. Well, I guess it's too late for that now. You're the greatest, baby. [Chev lands on a vehicle, bounces onto the road and a heartbeat is heard]
