WORKERS, ELECTRICIANS, MASONS, CARPENTERS, etc. in the
process of building what looks like a large store. Wires
hanging everywhere.
KEVIN - The electrical contractor called. His
truck hit a deer last night, he won't be
in 'til tomorrow. And upstairs the shelves are late
because the shipment of pine had beetles.
JOE - Very good, very good.
KEVIN - And we got a $50,000 ticket for workers peeing off the roof.
JOE - Great, that is great. Is the electrician here today?
KEVIN - Say,I just told you...he hit a deer, man. I knew you weren't listening to me.
JOE - You're right. I wasn't. I hear nothing. Nothing. Not a sound on the city
streets, just the beat of my own heart.
I think that's how it goes.
Something like that.
KEVIN
(beginning to glean something) - You and Patricia get engaged, didn't you? You can tell me.
JOE - Engaged? Are you crazy?
KEVIN - What, I thought you liked Patricia...
JOE - I do. I do. I love Patricia. I love Patricia. Patricia is....Patricia's amazing.
Patricia makes coffee nervous.
(suddenly all business) Hey, you know what, we should announce ourselves to the neighborhood. let they know, here we come.
KEVIN - Well, I don't know, This is the Upper West Side. We might as well tell them we're opening a crack house. They're going to hate us. Soon as they hear, they'll be lining up...to picket the big bad chain store.
KEVIN
- that's out to destroys...
JOE
- ....everything they hold dear. You know, we're going to seduce them. We are going to seduce them with our square footage...and our discounts, and our deep armchairs... and...
KEVIN & JOE - ..our cappuccino.
JOE - That's right. The're going to hate us at the beginning... but...
KEVIN & JOE - we'll get them in the end...
JOE - And you know why?
KEVIN - Why?
JOE - Because we'll sell them cheap books and legal addictive stimulants. In the meantime, we'll just put up a big sign: ''Coming soon, a Fox Books Superstore. The End of Civilization...as you know it.
