in the heat of the moment [popcorn intermission] - natedady lyrics

in the heat of the moment [intermission]
robert deniro & al pacino

ext. food stand * hanna + neil * night
at a table. headlights stream by to and from the airport:
business people, families going on vacations, people living
normal lives who have never used guns to k!ll people, never
experienced physical violence, some who have never been
stolen from and never steal. surrounded on all sides by
this flow of normalcy:
hanna
seven years in san quentin. in
the hole for three. mcneil before
that
neil
yeah
hanna
was mcneil as tough as they say?
neil
you looking to become a
penologist?
hanna
you looking to go back? i chased
some crews, the guys were lookin’
to f*ck up and get busted back
neil
you must have worked some dipsh*t
crews
hanna
i worked all kinds
neil
(pause)
you see me doing thrill*seeker
liquor store holdups with a “born
to lose” tattoo on my chest?
hanna
no, i do not
neil
right. and i…
(low threat)
i am never going back
the adversarial intensity is eye*to*eye
hanna
then don’t take down scores
neil
i do what i do best. i take
scores. you do what you do best
trying to stop guys like me
(shrugs)
hanna
you never wanted a normal*type
life?
neil
what the f*ck is that? barbecues
and ballgames?
hanna
that’s part of it
neil
that’s nice. that your life?
hanna
no. my wife spends half her
time on the couch. my
stepdaughter’s got problems ’cause
her real father’s a world class
assh0l*. and every moment i
got, i’m chasing guys like you
neil
a man told me once: you want to
make moves? don’t keep anything
in your life you’re not willing
to walk out on in 30 seconds
flat if you feel the heat around
the corner
(pause)
so if you’re chasing me and you
gotta move when i move, how do
you expect to keep a family?
hanna
what are you, a monk?
neil
no
(pause)
i got a woman
hanna
what do you tell her?
neil
she thinks i sell swimming pools
hanna
and if you spot me around the
corner. you gonna walk out on
her? leave her flat? like that?
not even say goodbye?
neil
that’s the discipline
hanna
what you’re left with is pretty
empty
neil
yeah?
(beat)
then maybe you and me, we should
both go do somethin’ else, pal
hanna
i don’t know how to do anything
else
neil
(the shared
confession)
…neither do i
hanna
and i don’t much want to
neil
neither do i
both of these guys look at each other and recognize the
mutuality of their condition. hanna’s light laughter:
hanna
we’re sitting here like a coupla
regular fellas. you do what you
do. i do what i gotta do. what
happens if i am there and i got
to put you away?
(pause)
i won’t like it. but, if it’s
between you and some poor b*st*rd
whose wife you’re going to make
into a widow, brother, you are
gonna go down. ’cause you don’t
have to be there. you coulda
gone and been a… a mailman
neil
there’s a flip side to that coin
what if you got me boxed in and
i gotta put you down?
(beat)
’cause no matter what, you will
not get in my way
(beat)
but now that we been face to
face, i would not feel good about
that. but i won’t hesitate
not for one second
hanna
(smiles)
maybe it’ll happen that way. or
who knows …
neil
…maybe we’ll never see each
other again
