Lucy


 * [first lines; the film opens with an image of a cell splitting into multiple other cells, then we see a chimp in prehistoric times drinking water from a lake]
 * Lucy: [voice over] Life was given to us a billion years ago. What have we done with it?
 * [we see a fast paced city life]
 * [Taipei, Taiwan – outside a hotel we see Lucy with her boyfriend, Richard]
 * Richard: Lucy, it’s easy as pie. In and out, all done and dusted.
 * Lucy: Then why don’t you do it yourself?
 * Richard: The last thing the guy is expecting is a total tramp turning up to deliver the case. It’ll blow his mind, come on.
 * Lucy: What’s in it?
 * [Richard chuckles]
 * Richard: Sweetheart, don’t get paranoid on me, alright? You trust me, don’t you?
 * [Lucy has a quick flashback to her partying and getting drunk with Richard in a club]
 * Lucy: Richard, I really do like you, but I have to take care of myself right now. I gotta…I don’t know, I gotta concentrate on so many things. I…
 * [she turns to leave but Richard grabs her arm]
 * Richard: Hey! Hey! What are you doing?
 * Lucy: I’m going home because I have exams on Monday, I have to shower and I have to study. Okay?
 * Richard: You know what, the other day I was in this museum, and you know what I found out?
 * Lucy: What?
 * Richard: The first ever woman was named Lucy.
 * [we see a wax museum model of a prehistoric female chimp in a glass cage]
 * Lucy: Is that supposed to make me feel better?
 * Richard: Yeah. No.
 * Lucy: I’ll call you. Okay?
 * [she pats his shoulder and turns to leave, but he stops her again]
 * Richard: Okay. Okay. Okay. I’ll be honest with you, I can’t deliver the case myself. I had a little falling out with the guy, it’s nothing major, but if it’s you, problem solved.
 * [pointing to the hotel]
 * Richard: You walk in there, you go up to the reception, you ask for Mr. Jang to come down. He comes down, he takes the case, you’ll flash him your prettiest smile and bounce.
 * [we quickly see a mouse going up to a mouse trap with cheese in it]
 * Richard: Look, you can even see the reception from here. Come on.
 * Lucy: What’s in the case?
 * Richard: I don’t know, it’s just some paperwork.
 * Lucy: Yeah, well let’s see it then.
 * Richard: It’s locked, and no one but Mr. Jang has the code. I’m just the delivery boy.
 * Lucy: Do you get paid to do this?
 * Richard: Yeah, kind of.
 * Lucy: Like, how much?
 * [Richard laughs]
 * Richard: Okay, we are negotiating now or…?
 * Lucy: No, no. How much do you get paid? I want to know, how much?
 * Richard: A thousand dollars.
 * Lucy: You get paid a thousand dollars for delivering paperwork, really?
 * Richard: I don’t know, it takes me ten minutes and they pay me a grand and the rest is none of my business.
 * Lucy: Well, it’s not my business either, I’ll tell you now.
 * [she turns to leave but Richard grabs her arm to stop her]
 * Richard: Listen!
 * Lucy: What?
 * Richard: We split it down the middle, hm? That’s five hundred for you and five hundred for me.
 * Lucy: Richard, I will call you.
 * Richard: Listen, it’s the third time this week I’m showing up at the same hotel with the same cowboy hat.
 * Lucy: Well…
 * [she takes off his hat and puts it on her head]
 * Lucy: Problem solved. Go, go. I’ll wait for you, go. I’ll wait.
 * Richard: Lucy, honey, I…I’ve done this a dozen times. It’s paperwork. It’s probably some designs so they can copy them, that’s how it works in this country. Even my Stetson was made here, look.
 * [he takes off the hat from Lucy’s head and show her the inside]
 * Richard: It says so on the label, “Made in Taiwan.”
 * [Lucy puts his hat back on his head]
 * Lucy: So long, Cowboy, with the fake Stetson.
 * [she turns to leave and he grabs her hand to stop her]
 * Richard: Baby, please.
 * Lucy: Richard, I gotta go.
 * [suddenly he handcuffs Lucy’s wrist to the handle of the briefcase]
