Mace Richardson: Once Upon a Time in Chinatown is not in it's entirety, so I'll post pieces of the script along with the images.
WARNING: The following will most likely be considered sexist, racist, inappropriate, and all other sorts of politically incorrect. Just remember it’s all in good fun, so STFU already.
Page 1
A lady bursts in through a set of doors that fling back and forth like in a western. She is furious. So much so that her light brown hair appears to be glowing with a fiery intensity. Her head is propped down and covering her neck, like a bull charging; her shoulders rounding off her head as if they were the horns.
She is dressed in typical office garb, though her blouse is a little too loose for the environment, and her pants accentuate her shape more than they probably should.
In her hand is what appears to be a ream of paper. Some are flying off as she walks closer.
SLAM!
The stack of paper scatters a bit when it hits the desk.
BOSS
Do you have any idea what this is?!

Out of nowhere a hand comes out and backhands the shit out of her.
We go to a shot of her point of view (or maybe behind her head). She is looking up from the floor, and sees a figure standing enormous in front of her.
The figure is silhouetted because of the bright sun light emanating through the blinds from the windows behind him.
We then go to a shot from the figure’s point of view. He is looking down at the boss.
She is on her behind, next to the figure’s desk with her legs akimbo. The corner of her mouth has some blood streaming down.
BOSS
Jesus Mace, I’m your boss…
MACE RICHARDSON
What you are is a whore.
A second later she’s back up, and they’re both acting like nothing out of the norm ever happened.
BOSS
Mace, these papers are of all the reports we’ve gotten throughout the last six months from the Chinatown area…reports that you were supposed to check out!
MACE RICHARDSON
I don’t understand why you can’t just get (agent) Phillip to do it. He’s a giant mutated man-fish with a heart of gold who’s native to Japan!
BOSS
Yes…but these people are Chinese, Mace.
MACE
Same shit! You know as well as I do that they’re both just inside-out Mexicans!
BOSS
What?
MACE
Plus, Phillip smells like foot cheese and aborted baby already, he’ll fit right in!
BOSS
Mace, the reason I want you on this is because the overwhelming amount of reports coming out of this place suggests that it’s something serious, and as much as I hate to admit it, you and your rookie are the two best agents here.
MACE
Jen, you should know better than to mention 69 if you’re trying to convince me of doing anything. You know I can’t stand 69—
69
(smiling like an idiot)
Somebody call me?
MACE
(holding the bridge of his nose)
Oh Jesus Christ…
69
So Mace, I hear the boss wants us to…
MACE
(interrupting)
Yes, yes, ok, fine, whatever, let’s just go and get this over with. The faster I’m done working with you, the better.
69
I agree! The faster we’re done with this case, the faster we can go down and visit all the Chinatown arcades!
BOSS
Arcades, huh? That’s an excellent idea 69! Arcades are definitely shady places; you should both start there.
MACE
Fine, but you owe me big time. I expect to find 12 Asian twins ready to do whatever I want, waiting for me in my office when I get back
69
I can’t believe we’re actually here!...Mace! Take off that mask!
MACE
Not on your life. No way these people are giving me the SARS.
69
Actually, it kind of makes you look like a ninja.
MACE
I hate you.
So, maybe we were over-ambitious and over estimated ourselves.
Obviously, we're upset we couldn't get everything we wanted post finished, but this is an ongoing project for Elias and I, so expect to see more Mace Richardson...sometime.
Enjoy!
