A insert beni hana commercial -- 221a

 

A smiling Rocky Aoki looks on as a HIBACHI CHEF expertly

dices shrimp on a sizzling grill.

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

Beni-fucking-hana! Why would God

be so cruel as to choose a chain

of fucking Hibachi Restaurants to

bring me down?

 

 

222 INT. SAUREL'S BEDROOM - DAY (OCT `95) 222

 

Saurel lays on the bed, smoking.

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

Long story short was Saurel ratted

me out, but not before he ratted

out Chantalle, who it turns out

he'd been fucking every time she

went to Switzerland!

 

Chantalle emerges from the bathroom naked. Laughing, she

runs and jumps in bed with Saurel.

224 EXT. U.S. ATTORNEY'S OFFICE - DAY (SEP `98) *224

 

Jordan exits the building. He's fucked and he knows it.

He sees beautiful Naomi waiting for him beside a

limosine; life isn't totally hopeless. He approaches.

 

JORDAN

Nay, thank God. I'm so glad

you're here.

 

They embrace. He can't see her expression: she'd rather

be anywhere else.

226 EXT. JORDAN'S ESTATE - POOL AREA - DAY (SEP `98) 226

 

ON SKYLAR AND PARKER, playing with a NANNY and Rocky the

dog. Jordan watches them, sitting by his pool, drinking

an O'Douls, weighing his options.

 

Donnie pops into the yard, in "Uncle Donnie" mode.

 

DONNIE

Hey, everybody! How're the

happiest people in Long Island?

Hi, Rocky!!

(joining Jordan)

Hate that fucking dog.

 

JORDAN

Tell me about it. It's getting

old, starting to shit inside the

house again.

 

Jordan offers Donnie an O'Douls; Donnie declines.

 

DONNIE

How you doing, brother? How was

the food in jail?

 

JORDAN

Lobster Newburg sucked. They gave

me some jewelry though.

 

He shows off the electronic bracelet around his ankle.

 

DONNIE

Wonder if they got one in my size.

Fuckin' Rugrat, that wig-wearin'

hump. Tell you one thing: I'm

never eating at Benihana's again.

Where's Naomi?

 

JORDAN

Inside. Pissed.

 

Donnie sees Naomi in a window. He waves but she barely

registers him.

 

DONNIE

What's up her ass?

 

JORDAN

Had to mortgage the home to make

bail. Probably gonna hafta sell

it to pay my lawyers. If we fight

this thing.

 

Donnie weighs that.

DONNIE

The Feds say anything about coming

after the rest of us?

 

Jordan thinks, then shakes his head no.

 

DONNIE (CONT'D)

You know, we're all behind you.

Everyone at the office.

(he removes an

envelope, hands it

to Jordan)

We bought back your mortgage. All

the founding partners threw in a

million apiece. Figured none of

us would have it if it weren't for

you.

 

Jordan's profoundly touched. Donnie squeezes his

shoulder. A real moment of friendship.

 

DONNIE (CONT'D)

You gotta fight this thing, baby.

 

Jordan nods.

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

Like I said, loyalty meant a lot

to me. Without your friends and

family standing behind you, you're

fucked.
