Creative Notes:
Tightened up the script in general. I spent a lot of time specifically cleaning up the characters dialogue, making it more true to each individual character and I added a "tone setting" scene at the front of the script.

Two Irish brothers steal a priceless emerald on St. Paddy's day. Now all they need to do is hide it from their older brother...who happens to be a Cop.
Project collaboration:
By Permission
Synopsis:
Colin, Patrick and Micky Dalton are Irish brothers with only two things in common: Their last name and a passionate desire to change their lives.
Micky, a burned-out Chicago cop is trying to wrap up one final case. A daring heist of a priceless emerald on St. Patrick’s day. The good news is, he knows who the thieves are…the bad news, he’s related to them!
Colin & Patrick soon find that pulling off the caper was the easy part. Not only do they need to deal with big brother, but they also run up against a vicious crime boss who wants his cut and will stop at nothing to get it.
Now, they all face tough decisions. Colin and Patrick need to either pay off the scumbag or go on the run and keep the cash for themselves. For Micky, either way he’ll have to do something he’s never done—let the bad guys walk or betray his brothers.
In the end, they realize it’s never too late to be the man you were supposed to be and there’s a lot more to life than just the green.

Creative Notes:This is a script that I wrote several years ago and have picked away at when the urge compels me to do so. It's a gritty story along the lines of The Town or Departed.
It's essentially a heist story, but it's wrapped up in a love story not just between a man and a woman but between 3 brothers.
As far as the length of the script goes, my software says 105 and RTF says 95. It's 105 pages.
