FOX
That's without the girls.
DYLAN
Will they be a problem?
Fox quiets, considering the family she left behind...
FOX
I'm not sure... I can't imagine
they're thrilled with me...
Suddenly a LOUD KNOCK on the door causes them to go quiet.
They all look at each other, frozen.
FRANKIE
(whispered)
Are you expecting anyone?
He shakes his head no.
YOUMNA (O.S.)
(in Arabic)
Dylan!
DYLAN
(in Arabic, calling back)
Okay, m ama!

EXT. DYLAN'S SUBURBAN HOUSE. FRONT DOOR. SUNSET.

Officer Corbett and Sgt. Breaker stand at the front door, the
melodic Arabic music wafting through.
SGT. BREAKER
Christ, you brought us to some
carpet-flying motherfucker's house.
He shakes his head in disbelief.
OFFICER CORBETT
It's the address on file.
Finally the door opens.
DYLAN
(in Arabic, over his
shoulder)
You don’t need to, I‘m sure they
won’ t want to stay long!
Dylan turns to face them, now wearing a tarboosh and heavy
eyeliner.

OFFICER CORBETT
Elie Abi Nader?
DYLAN
I go by Dylan, but yes.
OFFICER CORBETT
I'm Officer Corbett - We're here to
ask you a few quesSgt. Breaker puts his hand out to quiet Officer Corbett.
SGT. BREAKER
(over-articulating, loudly)
Do you speak English?
Dylan looks at him, deadpan.
DYLAN
Of course, Officer. I speak three
languages fluently.
SGT. BREAKER
(sarcastic)
Wow. Einstein.
(widening his stance)
We're look ing for Frankie DiFranco.
Do you know where she is?
DYLAN
(feigning innocence)
No, I haven't seen her... Is
something wrong?
OFFICER CORBETT
Would you mind if we took a look
around?
DYLAN
Not at all... Please, come in.
They enter, Dylan shutting the door behind them.

INT. DYLAN'S SUBURBAN HOUSE. CONTINUOUS.
They scope the place out, slowly taking inventory of the
space as they walk through it.
SGT. BREAKER
How long have you lived here for?

In America? 10 glorious years.

Officer Corbett notices 3 plates on the dining table.
OFFICER CORBETT
Do you live alone?
DYLAN
Uh, no. With my mom and my uncle.
Sgt. Breaker nods as he fidgets with the Arabesque tchotchkes
on the shelf. He leans in close to study a PICTURE of Frankie
and the Abi Nassers in Beirut.
OFFICER CORBETT
And Frankie?
DYLAN
She kind of floats around. Used to
have a spot down on Division but I
think she moved out .
OFFICER CORBETT
When did you last see her?
DYLAN
I think it was a couple weeks ago?
She came by my uncle's restaurant Sneaky Habibi Lounge & Cafe.
OFFICER CORBETT
(jotting down the name)
H-a-b-i-b-i?
Sgt. Breaker steps onto a Persian rug, looking down.
SGT. BREAKER
Nice carpet.
A sound coming from nearby redirects his attention.

In the living room are Ricky and Minx, eyes glued to the TV
as it plays The Dance World Championship 1986.
Minx sports a gnarly black eye as she stares at the screen.
ON TV: Christian Eder from Austria WIGGLES on the dance floor
as the audience cheers him on.
Ricky watches, trying to replicate the moves. Suddenly, car
headlights flooding the living room announc e a visitor.
She turns towards the front door.
RICKY
She's here.
(to Minx)
Keep watching.

Dylan gets out of the Alfetta, holding a BLACK DUFFLE BAG.
Domino shines a flashlight directly in his eyes.
DYLAN
(in a Mobster accent)
Ey! What's this, an interrogation?
Dylan squints, getting a look at his size as he approaches.
DYLAN (CONT'D)
Alright, big boy. I needa speak to
your manager.
Domino doesn't respond, but just then the door opens, Ricky
appearing.
RICKY
Who's this asshole?
DYLAN
This asshole has a friend down at
the station who said you boys are
lookin' for somethin' that I just
so happen to have.
The Bruiser Twins look to each other, curious, then eye the
duffle...

Frankie and Fox slip in the back door, creeping one slow foot
in front of the other, scanning the surroundings. Fox nods
upstairs to Frankie, who peels off.

Ricky nods towards the duffel.
RICKY
Let's see what's in the bag.
DYLAN
Hold your horses. You need to
understand... I ain't no crook,
alright? Not anymore.
Ricky rolls her eyes, muttering about the waste of time.
D ylan's eyes dart to see Fox creeping through. He chews the
scenery to distract.
DYLAN (CONT'D)
I been a sinner, ma! An' I'm done
livin the bad life. Y'all know what
I mean?
(Italian finger-pinching)
I'm ready for spaghet and fazzoule
in the sky.
Ricky and Domino stare at Dylan, considering. Then:
RICKY
Never heard a wiseguy say y'all.
Dylan blanches.
