RIGGS<br />

No fair, the building guy lived.<br />

MURTAUGH<br />

Whatever. The point is, no<br />

killing.<br />

RIGGS<br />

No killing.<br />

MURTAUGH<br />

Right. Piece of cake. I'm very<br />

happy. Read the man his rights,<br />

I'll be over here being happy.<br />

Unfortunately ... as Murtaugh speaks, he does not see the<br />

man on the ground has a hideaway gun tucked into his<br />

waistband. As Murtaugh talks, oblivious ... The guy takes<br />

out the gun with his good arm -- and aims dead center-at<br />

Murtaugh's back. Riggs, however, notices. And springs<br />

into action. Before the rich guy can fire ... Riggs' foot<br />

flashes out like a pile driver. CRACK! The guy flies<br />

backward. Lands on top of the pool tarpaulin. Oops. It<br />

promptly surrounds him in a sucking, vice-like grip.<br />

Murtaugh dives forward and extends his hand. Too late.<br />

The vinyl surrounds the screaming rich guy, sucks him<br />

below the surface. Smothers him.<br />

Drags him to the bottom. Murtaugh looks on, wild-eyed.<br />

On the bottom of the pool is a vinyl tomb. Murtaugh<br />

dives in. Swims to the bottom. Yanks, and strains, but<br />

we all know it's no fucking use. The vinyl stops moving.<br />

Murtaugh stares... and then he gives up. Surfaces at the<br />

side of the pool, gasping and wheezing. Riggs kneels<br />

down beside him.<br />

Oops.<br />

RIGGS<br />

Murtaugh stares daggers at him.<br />

MURTAUGH<br />

Have you ... ever... met someone<br />

you didn't kill... ?<br />

RIGGS<br />

Haven't killed you yet.<br />

MURTAUGH<br />

Terrific, you want a little gold<br />

star?<br />

(lie pulls out<br />

a soaked pack<br />

of cigarettes)<br />

Shit.
