PSYCHOLOGIST<br />

You're asking me if he's stable<br />

and I'm telling you no. We're<br />

talking about a man who carves<br />

notches in his gun barrel. Ore<br />

for each kill. He blew a man<br />

to Pieces yesterday. Is this<br />

helping?<br />

INTERCUT:<br />

47 ROGER MURTAUGH 47<br />

Standing at a pay phone, listening. He nods:<br />

MURTAUGH<br />

Terrific. So you're saying I<br />

should worry.<br />

PSYCHOLOGIST<br />

Are you kidding? The guy's a time<br />

bomb. When he goes... stand back.<br />

MURTAUGH<br />

Thank you, Doctor. You've been<br />

very helpful.<br />

He hangs up. Rubs his eyes tiredly and says:<br />

MURTAUGH<br />

I'm too old for this shit.<br />

CUT TO:<br />

48 INT. MURTAUGH'S CAR - TRAVELING - DAY 48<br />

Silence. Murtaugh fumes. Riggs keeps his mouth shut.<br />

Murtaugh takes his anger out on the road: SLAMMING the<br />

BRAKES; SQUEALING around corners, etc.<br />

But he can't hold it 'in. He explodes:<br />

MURTAUGH<br />

(pounding his fist<br />

against the wheel)<br />

It's my birthday, damnit! Fifty<br />

years old today! Fifty goddamn<br />

years old! Thirty years on the<br />

force! Not a scratch on me! Not<br />

a scar! I got a wife! Kids!<br />

House! Fishing boat! But I can<br />

kiss all that goodbye, 'cause my<br />

new partner's got a death wish!<br />

My fuckin' life is over!<br />

Roger --<br />
