Chapter 9: Curious George
[INT: Little Italy. 8:01 AM.]
The bar is empty besides an old man wiping glasses behind a counter as Alfie is hunched over in a corner booth with a pint, a manila envelope, and a black cellphone in his hand. He plays the video again and half way through it stops. It’s ringing.
Alfie: Hello?
Voice: Hallo?!
Alfie: Yes? Who is this?
Voice: Alfie?
Alfie: George?
George: Alfie! I’m glad you my package!
Alfie: Yes I did.
George: What time is there?
Alfie: It’s 8:05. Where are you?
George: Are you at the bar?
Alfie: Is this the rendezvous point?
George: Are you drinking Vodka?
Alfie: Sure, George what is up with this package? Where are you?
George: I’m finally home Alfie!
Alfie: Did you really win the lottery?
George: I can not disclose that information at this time.
Alfie: George there’s….almost $55,000 in this envelope.
George: Remember when I asked you how much you make a year?
Alfie: Yes.
George: Did you lie to me?
Alfie: No.
George: Thank you Alfie.
Alfie: For What?
George: Never lying to me.
Alfie: George, what am I suppose to do with this money?
George: Finish the movie.
Alfie: What movie?
George: Remember when we shot the video?
Alfie: I was just fucking around.
George: Yes. But it was good, no?
Alfie: It was fun.
George: Finish the movie.
Alfie: George, I don’t know if I can do that, but I can’t take your money.
George: You can. So do. I go now.
Alfie: Where are you?
George: Home.
Alfie: Where is that?
George: Georgia.
Call Ends.
Alfie: I thought he was Russian?
