The Drug Dealer begins to move with Riggs toward a van<br />

parked nearby.<br />

RIGGS<br />

(to officers)<br />

Shoot him! Shoot him!<br />

DRUG DEALER<br />

(to Riggs)<br />

Shut up!<br />

RIGGS<br />

(to Drug Dealer)<br />

Fuck you!<br />

(to officers)<br />

Shoot him! Shoot him!<br />

The narcotics officers don't know what to do. They<br />

are frustrated. Helpless. Immobilized.<br />

Riggs sees the van looming up. The van means defeat.<br />

The van means disgrace. The van means victory for the<br />

bad guys, and we know that Riggs would rather die than<br />

be the instrument of the Dealer's escape.<br />

19C CLOSE ON RIGGS AND DRUG DEALER 19C<br />

The veins are popping out in Riggs' neck. The Drug<br />

Dealer is getting nervous and panicky. His gun hand<br />

is trembling. The barrel of the gun jiggles against<br />

the back of Riggs' head.<br />

RIGGS<br />

(to Drug Dealer)<br />

Do it, asshole. Pull the trigger.<br />

Pull the trigger.<br />

DRUG DEALER<br />

Shut the fuck up!<br />

They move closer to the van. The narcotics officers<br />

have their guns poised for action, but don't dare use<br />

them.<br />

DRUG DEALER<br />

(to officers)<br />

Guns down! Guns down!
