Freebirds 5

What's your name?

Gabriel?

Gabriel Who?

The Archangel.

You're insane.

Look at my wings.

I don't believe in angels.

How many angels can stand on a tip of a pin.

If they have wings, then they don't need to.

So you want to do business with Steve.

I want to kill Steve.

Who would write the text then.

Everyone is expendable. Characters could live free if there were no author.

So you don't believe in God.

No I don't.

I am a messenger.

How do I know that you are not Steve?

BARBARA takes out a GUN and CLICK.

I TOOK OUT THE BULLETS.

Who are you really, one of the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse?

Yes.

What is your message?

You shall be the second shooter. You will be making love to someone during JFK's limousine ride and then you will get up and shoot from the grassy nole and pierce his neck from the front.

She presses a button underneathe her desk.

I will leave now.

You better.

BARBARA WOKE UP, sweating profusely.

Jack, what do angels mean in dreams?

I don't know. Homosexuals like Gore Vidal. He's not a really charming guy. He's very dangerous.

Jack, will you always love me.

Always is a long word and Jackie's very unhappy with me.

You don't think (Barbara looked at Jack's neck)... do you really think you can control the mob?

I can control anything and anyone except myself, except myself...

You can call me Z.

Why?

A 2 Z. I'm a Greek Spy.

I've dated many spies and none of them ever told me their name put me to sleep.

You shouldn't be President. You should have been a writer.

Should is what might have been if I followed my hunches.

I'm finished with my Navy Seal interviews.

We'll send them to France tomorrow. They can be Jackie's bodyguards while she's there.
