While we watch the fireworks, I thought you might be interested in a script I’m currently writing about Tony “Da Boyz” Montana, master of Crime(x). The following scene is an except which I think may be quite apropos for our current situation…

… to set the scene, it’s options expiration week and Tony has suddenly found himself outnumbered for the first time during his wildly successful life of crime where he has led the infamous Cartel. Locked in his mansion he reviews each of his security cameras and sees advancing faceless mobs of international precious metal investors, relentlessly and fearlessly pushing into his home, heavily armed and angry. Tony prepares himself for the upcoming conflict by burying his face into a huge pile of ETF ‘paper’ silver, inhaling the scent and getting high on his sheer sense of power and arrogance… pulling a rocket launcher from off his shelf, he steps out towards his balcony to face his enemy for one last stand!

TONY:

“So you wanna play hunh, say hello to my little friend here.”

Karroooomph!

The first rocket tears down the door and blows an American Gold Bug off the landing into the foyer. It sounds like Armageddon, one of the buyers is screaming, smoke billowing wildly.

Tony “Da Boyz”, at the height of his mad glory, steps out at the apex of the stairs, firing his machine gun and yelling.

TONY:

“$£@£!!Cowards!You think you can kill me with lousy massive buys hunh?”

Another european Gold Bug tumbles down the right-hand stair.

TONY:

“Who you think I am? I kill all you f******' a*******.I take you all to

F*****' h***!”

Left.Right

An Asian buyer drops,screaming, off the stairs into the pool below. A grenade goes off. Tony “Da Boyz” is hit again, but keeps on firing away.Laughing like a madman.

TONY:

“You need an army you hear! An army to kill me!”

Behind him we see the remainder of the ETF paper silver go up in a burst of wind, whipping around the office in auras of green. It is a ghostly effect foreshadowing the coming end …

TONY:

Ha ha ha ha ha! You Crazy Fools, you scum, I p*** in your faces !!!! Ha ha ha ha ha!! Laws don't apply to me! I'm too big to fail!

The Gold Bug ringleader “The Coach”, now inches from Tony's back, pulls thetrigger and blows Tony's spine out his belly.

Tony “Da Boyz” crashes forward over the banister into the interior swimming pool below. He floats quietly face down in the lit blue waters.

As the titles begin their crawl up, the music theme is classical music with a dash of bravado. The camera moving off Tony “Da Boyz” to catch the reflection of the lit sculpture of a Bear on the surface of the still waters.

It says: "THE WORLD IS YOURS"

And so, for an extremely long time, it was.
