Vincent Vega and Marcellus Wallace's Wife

.     INT. MARSELLUS WALLACE'S HOME - NIGHT                           22.

        The front door FLINGS open, and Mia and Vincent dance tango-
        style into the house, singing a cappella the song from the
        previous scene.  They finish their little dance, laughing.

        Then...

        The two just stand face to face looking at each other.

        Mia moves away to attend to both.  Vincent hangs up his
        overcoat on a big bronze coat rack in the alcove.

        Vincent shuffles off to the john.

        Mia moves to her CD player, thumbs through a stack of CDs and
        selects one: k.d. lang.  The speakers BLAST OUT a high energy
        country number, which Mia plays air-guitar to.  She dances her
        way around the room and finds herself by Vincent's overcoat
        hanging on the rack.  She touches its sleeve.  It feels good.

        Her hand hoes in its pocket and pulls out his tobacco pouch.
        Like a little girl playing cowboy, she spreads the tobacco on
        some rolling paper.  Imitating what he did earlier, licks the
        paper and rolls it into a pretty good cigarette.  Maybe a
        little too fat, but not bad for a first try.  Mia thinks so
        anyway.  Her hand reaches back in the pocket and pulls out his
        Zippo lighter.  She SLAPS the lighter against her leg, trying
        to light it fancy-style like Vince did.  What do you know, she
        did it!  Mia's one happy clam.  She triumphantly brings the
        fat flame up to her fat smoke, lighting it up, then LOUDLY
        SNAPS the Zippo closed.

        The Mia-made cigarette is brought up to her lips, and she
        takes a long, cool drag.  Her hand slides the Zippo back in
        the overcoat pocket.  But wait, her fingers touch something
        else.  Those fingers bring out a plastic bag with white powder
        inside, the madman that Vincent bought earlier from Lance.
        Wearing a big smile, Mia brings the bag of heroin up to her
        face.

23.     INT. BATHROOM (MARSELLUS WALLACE'S HOUSE) - NIGHT               23.

        Vincent stands at the sink, washing his hands, talking to
        himself in the mirror.

        Mia has the unbeknownst-to-her heroin cut up into big lines on
        her glass top coffee table.  Taking her trusty hundred dollar
        bill like a human Dust-Buster, she quickly snorts the fat
        line.

        CU - MIA
        her head JERKS back.  Her hands go to her nose (which feels
        like it's on fucking fire), something is terribly wrong.
        Then...the rush hits...

        BATHROOM

        Vincent dries his hands on a towel while he continues his
        dialogue with the mirror.

        LIVING ROOM

        Mia is on all fours trying to crawl to the bathroom, but it's
        like she's trying to crawl with the bones removed from her
        knees.  Blood begins to drip from Mia's nose.  Then her
        stomach gets into the act and she VOMITS.

        BATHROOM

        Vince continues.

        Now that he's given himself a little pep talk, Vincent's ready
        for whatever's waiting for him on the other side of that door.
        So he goes through it.

        LIVING ROOM

        We follow behind Vincent as he walks from the bathroom to the
        living room, where he finds Mia lying on the floor like a rag
        doll.  She's twisted on her back.  Blood and puke are down her
        front.  And her face is contorted.  Not out of the tightness
        of pain, but just the opposite, the muscles in her face are so
        relaxed, she lies still with her mouth wide open.  Slack-
        jawed.

        Vincent moves like greased lightning to Mia's fallen body.
        Bending down where she lays, he puts his fingers on her neck
        to check her pulse.  She slightly stirs.

        Mia is aware of Vincent over her, speaking to her.

        But she's unable to communicate.  Mia makes a few lost
        mumbles, but they're not distinctive enough to be called
        words.

        Vincent props her eyelids open and sees the story.

        Mia is incapable of answering.  He SLAPS her face hard.

        Vincent SPRINGS up and RUNS to his overcoat, hanging on the
        rack.  He goes through the pockets FRANTICALLY.  It's gone.
        Vincent makes a beeline to Mia.  We follow.

        He reaches her and hoists the dead weight up in his arms.

        We follow behind as he hurriedly walks the practically-
        unconscious Mia through the house and out the front door.
 

24.     EXT. VINCENT'S HOT ROD (MOVING) - NIGHT                         24.

        INSERT SPEEDOMETER: red needle on a hundred.

        Vincent driving like a madman in a town without traffic laws,
        speeds the car into turns and up and over hills.
 

25.     INT. VINCENT'S HOT ROD (MOVING) - NIGHT                         25.

        Vincent, one hand firmly on the wheel, the other shifting like
        Robocop, both eyes staring straight ahead except when he
        glances over at Mia.

        Mia, slack-jawed expression, mouth gaping, posture of a bag of
        water.

        Vincent takes a cellular phone out of his pocket.  He punches
        a number.
 

26.     INT. LANCE'S HOUSE - NIGHT                                      26.

        At this late hour, Lance has transformed from a bon vivant
        drug dealer to a bathrobe creature.

        He sits in a big comfy chair, ratty blue gym pants, a worn-out
        but comfortable tee-shirt that has, written on it, "TAFT,
        CALIFORNIA," and a moth-ridden terry cloth robe.  In his hand
        is a bowl of Cap'n Crunch with Crunch Berries.  In front of
        him on the coffee table is a jug of milk, the box the Cap'n
        Crunch with Crunch Berries came out of, and a hash pipe in an
        ashtray.
        On the big-screen TV in front of the table is the Three
        Stooges, and they're getting married.

        The phone RINGS.

        Lance puts down his cereal and makes his way to the phone.

        It RINGS again.

        Jody, his wife, CALLS from the bedroom, obviously woken up.

        BACK TO VINCENT IN THE MALIBU
        Vincent is still driving like a stripe-assed ape, clutching
        the phone to his ear.  WE CUT BACK AND FORTH during the
        conversation.

        At that moment inside Lance's house, WE HEAR Vincent's Malibu
        coming up the street.  Lance hangs up the phone, goes to his
        curtains and YANKS the cord.  The curtains open with a WHOOSH
        in time to see Vincent's Malibu DRIVING UP on his front lawn
        and CRASHING into his house.  THe window Lance is looking out
        of SHATTERS from the impact.

        Lance CHARGES from the window, out the door to his front lawn.
 

27.     EXT. LANCE'S HOUSE - NIGHT                                      27.

        Vincent is already out of the car, working on getting Mia out.

28.     INT. LANCE'S HOUSE - NIGHT                                      28.

        WE START in Lance's and Jody's bedroom.

        Jody, in bed, throws off the covers and stands up.  She's
        wearing a long tee-shirt with a picture of Fred Flintstone on
        it.

        We follow HANDHELD behind her as she opens the door, walking
        through the hall into the living room.

        As she walks in the living room, she sees Vincent and Lance
        standing over Mia, who's lying on the floor in the middle of
        the room.

        From here on in, everything in this scene is frantic, like a
        DOCUMENTARY in an emergency ward, with the big difference here
        being nobody knows what the fuck they're doing.

        Lance looks up at Jody.

        She angrily turns and disappears into the bedroom looking for
        the shot.

        WE MOVE into the room with the two men.

        WE FOLLOW Lance as he runs out of the living room into a...
 

29.     SPARE ROOM                                                      29.
        with a bunch of junk in it.  He frantically starts scanning
        the junk for the book he's looking for, repeating the words,
        "Come on," endlessly.

        From OFF SCREEN we hear:

        Lance continues his frenzied search.

        WE HEAR Jody in the living room now as she talks to Vincent.

        Jody calls to Lance.

        As he continues searching, flipping and knocking over shit,
        Jody appears in the doorway.

        Lance spins toward her.

        Lance angrily knocks over a pile of shit and leaves the SHOT
        heading for the living room.
 

30.     LIVING ROOM                                                     30.
        Vincent is bent over Mia, talking softly to her, when Lance
        reenters the room.

        Lance bends down by the black case brought in by Jody.  He
        opens it and begins preparing the needle for injection.

        Vince rips her blouse open.

        Jody stumbles back in the room, hanging back from the action.

        Vince points to Mia's right breast.  Lance glances over and
        nods.

        As Lance readies the injection, Vincent looks up at Jody.

        Jody runs to the desk, opens the top drawer and, in her
        enthusiasm, she pulls the drawer out of the desk, the contents
        of which (bills, papers, pens) spill to the floor.

        The injection is ready.  Lance hands Vincent the needle.

        Jody hurriedly joins them in the huddle, a big fat red magic
        marker in her hand.

        Vincent grabs the magic marker out of Jody's hand and makes a
        big red dot in Mia's body where her heart is.

        Lance demonstrates a stabbing motion, which looks like "The
        Shape" killing its victims in "HALLOWEEN."

        Vincent lifts the needle up above his head in a stabbing
        motion.  He looks down on Mia.

        Mia is fading fast.  Soon nothing will help her.

        Vincent's eyes narrow, ready to do this.

        Lance, on this knees right beside Vincent, does not know what
        to expect.

        RED DOT on Mia's body.

        Needle raised ready to strike.

        Jody's face is alive with anticipation.

        NEEDLE in that air, poised like a rattler ready to strike.

        The needle leaves frame, THRUSTING down hard.

        Vincent brings the needle down hard, STABBING Mia in the
        chest.

        Mia's head if JOLTED from the impact.

        The syringe plunger is pushed down, PUMPING the adrenalin out
        through the needle.

        Mia's eyes POP WIDE OPEN and she lets out a HELLISH cry of the
        banshee.  She BOLTS UP in a sitting position, needle stuck in
        her chest -- SCREAMING.

        Vincent, Lance and Jody, who were in sitting positions in
        front of Mia, JUMP BACK, scared to death.

        Mia's scream runs out.  She slowly starts taking breaths of
        air.

        The other three, now scooted halfway across the room, shaken
        to their bones, look to see if she's alright.

        Mia, still breathing, not looking up at them, says in a
        relatively normal voice.

        Vincent and Lance collapse on their backs, exhausted and
        shaking from how close to death Mia came.

                                                        CUT TO:

31.     INT. VINCENT'S MALIBU (MOVING) - NIGHT                          31.

        Vincent is behind the wheel driving Mia home.  No one says
        anything, both are still too shaken.
 

32.     EXT. FRONT OF MARSELLUS WALLACE'S HOUSE - NIGHT                 32.

        The Malibu pulls up to the front.  Mia gets out without saying
        a word (still in a daze) and begins walking down the walkway
        toward her front door.

        She turns around.

        Vincent's out of the car, standing on the walkway, a big
        distance between the two.

        Mia smiles.

        The two walk toward each other, holding out their hands to
        shake and shake they do.

        Mia lets go of Vincent's hand and silently makes the see-no-
        evil, hear-no-evil, and speak-no-evil sign with her hands.

        Vincent smiles.

        Mia giggles.

        Vincent turns to leave.

        Vincent turns around.

        They both smile, but neither laugh.

        Mia turns and walks inside her house.

        CU - VINCENT
        after Mia walks inside.  Vincent continues to look at where
        she was.  He brings his hands to his lips and blows her a
        kiss.  Then exits FRAME leaving it empty.  WE HEAR his Malibu
        START UP and DRIVE AWAY.

                                                        FADE TO BLACK
