Page 17 (Shot of the various cars pulling up, people with guns streaming out.)
(Gunfire exchanges on the ground. Cruz gets killed when one of the Cobija thugs shoots the propane tank on the BBQ)
Jimmy - “Sometimes it's hard being so right.”
(Jimmy is shooting most of the Cobija thugs. Some take cover near the hideout.)
Page 18 (Inside the plane)
Xavier - “Holy shit man! Pull up!”
Inti - “What about Jimmy?”
Xavier - “Why do you think the Cobija gang is here! He must have tipped them off.”
(Plane pulls up out of the water, giving Jimmy better shots of the hiding thugs.)
Inti - “So now he's shooting them?”
Xavier - “That man is scary good with a gun. I mean yeah, why the hell is he shooting them after he tipped them off?”
Inti - “Maybe Cruz tipped them off.”
Xavier - “Didn't you see, man! They fucking shot Cruz.”
Inti - “I saw they shot the BBQ and it blew up but they didn't shoot Cruz.”
Xavier - “Come on! There's no way he survived that blast.”
(A bullet smacks into the body of the plane.)
Inti - “Jesus. I thought I got us out of range.”
Page 19
Xavier - “You did! That's Jimmy shooting at us!”
Inti - “Cut the rope! Cut the fucking rope!”
Inti - “If he's such a good damn shot how come he missed us?”
Xavier - “He hit the plane just fine! God dammit! Is there a knife in this fucking bag?”
Inti - “Just cut the damn rope!”
Xavier - “With what? My teeth! I need a knife, man!”
Inti - “He's taking aim at us again.”
Xavier - “Well swerve for christ's sake!”
(A gunshot severs the rope between Jimmy and the plane.)
Page 20
Xavier - “Pull up, you're going to hit the water!”
Inti - “I'm trying, I'm trying.”
Xavier -”What the hell is this?”
Inti - “I'm a little busy to be making judgment calls here, boss!”
Xavier - “No, seriously. This is a bomb.”
Inti - “What?” (Turns around)
Xavier - “In that sharpshooting gun selling crazy man's bag! A bomb.”
Inti - “Well throw it out of the plane!”
(Xavier tosses it out the window.)
Inti - “Oh shit! We're going to hit the damn!”
Xavier - “Turn hard right!”
Inti - “Jump!”
Page 21
(In the water, Jimmy can be seen floating down on his parachute. Inti and Xavier are in the water.)
Xavier - “What are the odds we survived that fall?”
Inti - “We're here, aren't we?”
Xavier - “I'm pretty sure both my legs are broken.”
Inti - “Tell it to Dasha. She always did like playing the nurse.”
Xavier - “How the hell do you know?”
Inti - “Look up there?” (Points up at the dam, where Jimmy's bag has managed to hang off a branch.) “What the hell is that?”
Xavier - “Don't tell me. That's the damn bag again.”
Page 22
(The bomb goes off, ruptures the damn and floods the area.)
Page 23
(Jimmy still falling through the air, headed towards the forest.)
Jimmy - “If it is to be the same old tune,
It is as fat and filling to my ear
As gunshots after music.”
Page 24
Jimmy - “There goes a perfectly good weapons deal.”
(Lands in a tree, cuts himself down, dusts himself off.)
I feel like the pace slows down too much in the end. Maybe there should be a couple of silent pages with just the firefight? Comments appreciated.

Cheeky Smiles
Obama : "Who pulled what diplomat?"
Chavez : "Uh, I forget. Hey you want some oil?"
Obama : "Dude, we never stopped buying from you, remember?"
Chavez : "No shit! Even when you tried to pull that coup on me?"
Obama : "SUVs gotta fly free baby!"
Chavez : "I hear you, brother. Say, you're not sending that same spy diplomat back - the one 'Brimstone' Bush appointed, are you?"
Obama : "Don't forget this is still our backyard, man. Between health care, carbon caps and yes we can I got no time for finding new diplomats."
Chavez : "Me neither."
Obama (aside) : "Petty dictator."
Chavez (aside) : "Imperialist swine."

Where are the stars?
The socialists are laughing at you.Wearing stripey ponchos. They are laughing.
See your collapsed neo-liberal paradise?
They are laughing at your private enterprise.
They are buying up all the globo-corps.
They are laughing at the worker's unions.
Why? Why are they laughing?
Because soon, they will own all the oil in South America. Mr. Chavez will buy it all up, put it in a box called PDVSA and laugh all the way to the bank.
The socialist bank.
Chavez just nationalized the petrochemical companies in Venezuela.
Chavez just bought a majority share in the national oil refinery of the Dominican Republic.
Chavez just cracked a sweet joke about American driving habits fueling the socialist revolution... and made two presidents laugh.
