INT. WASHINGTON, DC – DAY – UNION STATION
Dean’s gang controls most of the city. Muggings, shakedowns, high- jacking mices. Dean is sending less and less profits to New York.
EXT. UNION STATION – DAY – UNDERGROUND
DEAN
What do them New York bosses know? This is my city. I’m making them richer. Why haven’t they sent me to Vegas?! No, no, they send new york bosses. I’m a boss!
RAGS
Boss, we been in this city many years, running the rackets, book making, teamsters union. We have it all.
DEAN (chewing on a frog leg)
No! Not until I see Bill and his friends slowly die. New york complain about their cut. What do they know?
RAGS
Boss, bad news! The purple gangs has been wiped out!
DEAN
What?! Who did it?? What gang? One of them Spanish gangs?? I never trusted them.
RAGS
No, it was Bill.
DEAN
Bill?? How did he get in?
RAGS
Word on the street is that Mick set them up we have 10 micks crew they bring them in now.
DEAN
Find Mick and kill him. Kill him!
RAGS
Okay boss, on it! But Bill is too weak to take us on again. He’s already dying.
DEAN
Yeah, yeah. But he’s not dying fast enough. I want that White House lawn. Just think, Rags. We’ll meet the President!
RAGS
Yeah, all that merchandise!
DEAN
Then we can knock off them few country gangs that are running the corn mash moon shine rackets. Should bring in good profits.
RAGS
With the purple gang gone, Bill still alive, us taking on them country hicks — we’ll be in the open.
DEAN
Got to hit them at night.
RAGS
Going in them woods is risky, owls. Snakes!
DEAN
Yeah, snakes, hawks, eagles. Rags, I want them woods!
RAGS
Okay boss.
DEAN
Think of a way around them and soon because when Bill dies, all the mices will be owned by the outfit.
Dean’s gang burst through the door with ten of Mick’s crew.
DEAN (taking out his baseball bat)
I want to know how Bill got in!
MICK’S CREW (THE TICKS)
We don’t know!
Rags and Dean’s gang dip their faces of Mick’s crew in pee.
DEAN
This is your last chance.
MICK’S CREW
(silence)
Rags ties shoestrings around their necks hanging over a pipe Dean follows, beating each one to death.
DEAN
Find Mick!! take some of the crew and put word out that I want to have a sit-down meeting with Country Boy bosses. If they crews show up with them we will take over kill the bosses stop they crew will join us. Tell them i want to make peace, have a share in their bootleg-ing rackets. Ask if they would like to have a share in the city! This should bring them here.
RAGS
It’s a try. they may not come.
DEAN
If they don’t come, then we will go to them, snakes or not! I want them woods!
INT. UNION STATION – NIGHT – UNDERGROUND
DEAN
Welcome, Country Boys! Have a seat. Rags pour the boys drinks! Have food!
Country boy crew boss.
Mash
you have this city on edge! All these killings we read in the papers. Me and my boys only run shine. Be warned – any gang tries to muscle in on us we’ll kill and turn them into some good shine mash within a week.
Dean jumps from the table
DEAN
You come here and talk to me like that?! I was going to ask you to join us, but now . . .
Dean stabs Country Boy in the neck with his trusty nail.
