Sonny and Luke Go Bird Watching, 1994 Sonny and Luke started out
as reluctant partners in crime. In this scene, Sonny plays a great straight man to Luke. Scene:
Sonny, Luke, and Marco Dane have gone to pick up a hired gun that Frank
Smith employed Sonny: (looking through binoculars) Those waves are mean. (hands binoculars to Luke) Luke: Ooh, it's gotta be cold as hell out there. Sonny: That's why we sent our disposable asset. It won't be any use to Frank Smith if one of us gets pneumonia. Luke: That's true. (a police officer/ranger approached them on the beach) Officer: Good morning. Strange time of the year for a picnic, isn't it? Luke: Oh (laughs) hey that's amusing, isn't it...professor? (looks at Sonny) Sonny: (quietly) What are you talking about? Luke: Professor Meitros.
(walks towards officer) Ah, I bet you're wondering what we're doing
here. Sonny: Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say. Luke: We rushed right over here. Sonny: We ran like hell. Luke: That's right, as
a matter of fact, we were just about to do a...a few of the Bald Crested
Tern's mating calls, Yeah...uh...(looks through binoculars again)
I don't see any. But the professor is much better at this than I am. Sonny: Naw, I'll pass on that. Luke: Professor, don't
be shy now! Do it for this fine gentleman who could make us leave this
beach at anytime Sonny: (quietly) I'll kill you. Luke: Don't be shy! (does another call) (Sonny very reluctantly does a call) Luke: (to the officer)
Is that beautiful? Is that...is that beautiful? You see what I'm saying? Officer: No thanks pal, I'll just be running along. (he walks off) Luke: (shouts after
him) You're missin' the loon now! You're gonna be...(turns back
to Sonny) Sonny: You could have died Spencer. You still might. Luke: What are you joking?
If I were a Bald Crested Tern, I'd be winging in here right now man! Sonny: (laughs) Bald Crested Tern, huh? (they both do calls at each other) Luke: You ain't so bad. (End of scene) |
