FADE IN:

EXT. HIGHWAY - NIGHT

Car drives down highway.

INT. CAR - NIGHT

Skip is sleeping against the window and Max is driving at the wheel. Max is sweating and he keeps wiping his face and looking at Skip. Max lights a cigarette and looks down under the seat where he placed the gun. Then he looks back at Skip. Max looks down again at the gun, under the seat.

CU of Max’s sweaty face.

CU of Skip sleeping soundly.

Max takes one hand off of the wheel and tries to reach down under the seat. Skip grunts and changes positions.

Max stops and quickly places both hands on the wheel again.

Max begins to sing to himself. Skip is again sleeping. Max again tries to feel under the seat while driving with one hand.

MAX

(WHISPERING)

C’mon, dammit. Where the hell are ya?

Max takes his eyes off the road for a second. Then he quickly looks up to see if everything is okay. Again he digs under the seat. Not paying any attention to the road.

MAX

(WHISPERING)

Shit, I knew I put it under here...

Skip opens one eye. CU.

Max looks up at the road and makes a painful noise.

MAX

Ahhyyah!

Skip jumps up. Max clutches his leg.

They swerve from side to side. Finally, the car turns sideways and stops halfway off the road and half in the dirt on the side of the road.

Max yells again.

CU of Skip’s confused face.

MAX

Oww, shit.

EXT, HIGHWAY - NIGHT

Max climbs out of the car and hops around then starts walking.

INT. CAR - NIGHT

SKIP

What next?

Skip gets out of the car.

EXT. HIGHWAY - NIGHT

Max is hobbling around. Skip stands on the passenger side door of the car.

SKIP

What? Max, where are we... We’re wasting time, man.

Max gives Skip a dirty look.

MAX

Fuck you! Maybe you should drive. I got a damn cramp in my leg, something awful.

Max is walking the cramp off.

MAX

Son of a bitch, fucking brat kid. I’m “wasting time”, he says? I shoulda had my head examined to take a pimple face college twinkle dick like him with me.

Skip looks nervously back and forth along the empty highway.

SKIP

Look, really, Max. Let’s go. I don’t feel safe.

MAX

Oh, now he wants to keep driving. Well maybe I don’t want too. Little weasel.

Skip jumps back in the car.

Max walks around for a minute. Then zips down his zipper and takes a piss.

Skip shouts out to Max, from inside of the car.

SKIP

We’re probably gonna need more gas.

Max ignores him as he enjoys his pissing. CU of Max’s face.

MAX

Oh, yeah, baby.

SKIP

Max?

MAX

Bullshit. Anderson made sure it had a full tank before we left. Man, you trust nobody.

SKIP

Whatever.

Max looks around. It is quiet and peaceful. The highway is dead calm. Max looks up at the sky.

MAX

Remarkable.

Again, Skip from the car.

SKIP

Max, please.

Max looks down then at Skip.

MAX

Ah, shit.

Max mumbles to himself as he walks back to the car.

INT. CAR - NIGHT

Max gets in and SLAMS the door. He looks at the gas gauge.

MAX

Hey, kid. I got news for ya. We’re gonna need some fuel real soon.

Skip shrugs.

SKIP

No, really.

MAX

Boy, this car ain’t too good on gas is it?

SKIP

Max, really. I hate to harp at you.
