EXT. RUNDOWN STREET - NIGHT
Taffy's car pulls over to the curb more carefully. Backs up
to a parking spot right in front of a crusty looking
convenience store. An aging super glue ad is in the window.
INT. TAFFY'S CAR - NIGHT
Taffy leans over Daisy to look at the store then the
neighborhood.
TAFFY
I'm not sure about this area,
Daisy. Let's just go to K-Mart.
DAISY
It'll just take a second. And we
don't know how long it's going to
take to set the ring. We're running
out of time.
She lets the seat back again and opens the door. Shimmies out
to the curb.
Taffy sighs, but follows.
INT. CONVENIENCE STORE - NIGHT
The CLERK, white guy in full goth attire down to the black
lipstick, nails and metal jewelry protruding from every
pierceable part, stares at Daisy and Taffy from the moment
they enter the store.
DAISY
Excuse me, sir, where is your super
glue?
The guy never answers. Just stares.
Taffy grabs Daisy's sleeve and pulls her along the aisles.
TAFFY
Still think this is a good idea?
DAISY
Maybe he's shy.
They work their way up and down the aisles.
In the last aisle, Daisy squeals. She grabs a handful of
super glue tubes.
DAISY (CONT'D)
Got 'em! Let's go.
Taffy heaves a relieved sigh. They go to the counter pay.
The clerk continues to stare at them while he rings them up.
The door opens to admit a GUY in a black leather jacket.
Daisy takes her purchase and heads for the door with Taffy.
Taffy taps Daisy's shoulder. She picks up a roll of bubble
tape with a smile.
TAFFY
Remember these?
Daisy laughs.
DAISY
Oh my God! They still make those?
A GUNSHOT!
Taffy and Daisy hit the floor. They peek around the shelf in
time to see plaster raining down on BILLY BOB DARRYL as he
points the gun at the clerk.
BILLY BOB DARRYL
Hand over the cash!
TAFFY
What do we do?
DAISY
Stay calm. I don't think he knows
we're still here. He'll leave in a
minute.
BILLY BOB DARRYL
You girls ready your cash, too.
I'll be done here in a second.
Taffy and Daisy exchange frightened looks.
Taffy hands Daisy her keys.
TAFFY
I've got an idea. I'll distract
him. Start the car and be ready to
drive.
DAISY
I'm not leaving you.
TAFFY
You're not. Go!
Taffy takes off down the aisle. Daisy watches her go.
The clerk's hands shake as he empties the cash register into
Billy Bob Darryl's bag.
BILLY BOB DARRYL
I'm almost ready for you girls.
Taffy picks up a couple cans of food. She pops up from the
rear of the store.
TAFFY
We're ready for you now.
Startled, he turns to look at her.
She launches the can from her fastpitch stance.
Nails him in the forehead. His head snaps back.
Taking advantage of the distraction, the clerk grabs the bag
of cash and takes off out the back door.
TAFFY (CONT'D)
Go! I'm right behind you.
Daisy nods. Runs out the front door.
BILLY BOB DARRYL
You bitch!
He raises the gun at her. FIRES.
Taffy ducks. Hurries around the aisle. She pops up and nails
him with another can. Ducks and moves.
He FIRES wildly again. Holds his head and staggers.
She pops up to his side. Continuously nails him with cans
until she knocks the gun free. It's skitters across the floor
and out the door.
Taffy drives him away from the door with can missiles. Makes
a run for it.
EXT. CONVENIENCE STORE - NIGHT
Taffy runs for the car Daisy has running and in gear. She
spots the gun on the street and detours to grab it.
Billy Bob Darryl stumbles out the door after her.
She screams. Daisy screams.
Taffy jumps in the open door of her car. Daisy floors it.
Leaves Billy Bob Darryl fuming mad in their dust.
INT. TAFFY'S CAR - DRIVING - NIGHT
Seat back to accommodate the hair, Daisy has to peer up over
the steering wheel as she drives. Fear wars with anger on her
face.
Taffy can't keep the grin off her face. She leans out the
window allowing the wind to whip through her hair.
TAFFY
That was wild!
Anger finally settles on Daisy's face.
TAFFY (CONT'D)
Can you believe it? The old
pitching arm still works.
Taffy grins at Daisy.
TAFFY (CONT'D)
What's wrong with you?
Daisy glances at Taffy. Swerves the car hard to the curb and
parks.
DAISY
What's wrong with me? What's wrong
with ME?!?! Have you lost your
mind? I thought he shot you. Twice!
TAFFY
He missed.
DAISY
That's not the point. You could've
died. And you're sitting there
grinning like you just got off your
favorite roller coaster.
Taffy gets rid of the grin as she looks at Daisy.
TAFFY
It's not like that.
DAISY
I almost lost my best friend
tonight and you could care less.
TAFFY
You didn't almost lose me.
DAISY
Don't you EVER do that to me
again!!!
Tears stream down Daisy's cheeks.
Taffy leans over to give her a hug.
TAFFY
It's okay.
DAISY
Get off me. I'm still mad at you.
Daisy clings to Taffy despite her words. After a moment,
Daisy's tears stop and they break apart.
TAFFY
We got the glue. Let's fix the ring
and head back to your house.
Daisy mops at her face and pulls the ring out of her pocket.
Taffy switches on the dome light in the roof.
Daisy hands Taffy the ring and uncaps one of the glue
containers from the bag. Pokes a hole through the opening.
Gives Taffy a relieved smile.
DAISY
Here goes.
Daisy squeezes the tube over the ring Taffy holds.
Nothing.
DAISY (CONT'D)
No, no, no.
TAFFY
Maybe it's not open.
DAISY
The pin went all the way in.
She tries to push the pin in further. It sinks to the hilt.
Daisy squeezes again. This time in the air.
Taffy puts up a hand to stop her.
TAFFY
Let's not glue my roof. Come on.
She climbs out of the car taking the small bag of glue with
her. Daisy shimmies out behind her.
EXT. RESIDENTIAL STREET - NIGHT
Taffy and Daisy meet at the trunk of the car. Taffy spreads
out the bag and puts the remaining tubes on top.
Daisy struggles to squeeze the tube.
DAISY
It must have dried up. How old is
this stuff anyway?
TAFFY
Good thing you got more than one.
Each girl picks up another tube and opens it. Both have the
same result.
Daisy stomps in frustration after they go through all the
tubes of glue and they are all dried up.
DAISY
Stupid defective merchandise. I
want my money back.
TAFFY
Wanna go back now? Risk our lives
twice in one night?
Daisy blows out a breath.
DAISY
Good point.
TAFFY
Come on. I think we can still make
it to K-Mart. We'll test it before
we buy it next time.
The girls dump the glue back in the bag. Daisy secures the
ring in her pocket.
There's a low GROWL behind them.
Taffy puts her hand on Daisy's to shush her. They listen.
Slowly turn around.
Four collarless Pit Bulls approach them.
DAISY
Taffy!
TAFFY
Get in the car. Slowly.
The girls keep an eye on the dogs as they inch around the
car. The dogs continue to close the distance. GROWL louder.
The girls speed up.
So do the dogs.
Taffy and Daisy run to the doors and fling them open just as
the dogs spring at them.
Taffy jumps behind the wheel and slams the door.
A dog flies by.
Daisy threads her hair through the open window to close her
door.
A dog snaps at her heels.
DAISY
Go!
Taffy starts the car and slams it in gear.
The dogs jump at the doors.
Daisy smacks one of them with her hair.
Taffy takes off.
The dogs chase.
One jumps. Sinks his teeth in Daisy's hair.
Daisy screams.
INT. TAFFY'S CAR - DRIVING - NIGHT
Taffy slows. Tries to help her get free.
DAISY
No! Go! Go! Go!
Taffy floors the accelerator.
EXT. RESIDENTIAL STREET - NIGHT
The dog's jaws stay locked in Daisy's hair. His feet leave
the payment. He sails along behind them. THUMPING into the
side of the car.
The other three dogs stop chasing. Cock their heads to watch
for a moment. They turn and walk back the other way.
INT. TAFFY'S CAR - DRIVING - NIGHT
Taffy continues to speed up.
Daisy points to an intersection.
DAISY
Left turn!
Taffy nods. Jerks the wheel to the left. They careen around
the corner.
EXT. RESIDENTIAL STREET - NIGHT
The dog flies forward, still locked in Daisy's hair.
INT. TAFFY'S CAR - DRIVING - NIGHT
Daisy's body goes forward with the momentum of the dog. She
catches herself on the dashboard.
TAFFY
Daisy!
DAISY
Just keep driving. Faster!
Taffy speeds up more.
Daisy's hands dig into her hair. She pulls out pin after pin
after pin.
DAISY (CONT'D)
Belynda is going to kill me.
Taffy glances at her. Tears streaming down her cheeks.
Daisy removes a final pin. The top half of the hair flies off
her head.
EXT. RESIDENTIAL STREET - NIGHT
The dog drops to the ground, hair still in his mouth. He
spits it out and GROWLS ferociously.
INT. TAFFY'S CAR - DRIVING - NIGHT
Daisy pulls her head in the car. With the top half of the
weave missing, she fits in the car. Just barely. Daisy gives
Taffy a relieved smile. She notes her tears.
DAISY
Now we're even.
Taffy glares at her. Daisy gives Taffy a little half hug.
Taffy swipes at her tears.
TAFFY
I'm ready for this night to end.
DAISY
I second it.
Taffy frowns as she taps the steering wheel.
TAFFY
Maybe we shouldn't doing this.
DAISY
Doing what?
TAFFY
This. Rigging the ring. Stopping
the wedding. You have to admit
those aren't the most noble of
goals.
DAISY
We're saving my brother from a life
of misery. That is a noble goal.
TAFFY
But maybe we're going about it the
wrong way.
DAISY
Trust me. This is the only way I
can get through to Teddy.
TAFFY
What if I talk to him? A
disinterested third party.
Daisy looks at Taffy. Taffy meets her gaze.
DAISY
Are you really that disinterested?
TAFFY
What's that supposed to mean?
DAISY
How long have you been in love with
my brother?
Taffy drops Daisy's gaze. Watches the street as she drives.
TAFFY
What in the world gave you that
idea?
DAISY
The closer we got to the wedding,
the less we saw of you.
TAFFY
I've been swamped at work.
DAISY
I really should be mad at you for
keeping this from me.
TAFFY
I'm not keeping anything from you.
DAISY
But since you haven't even admitted
it to yourself, I'll let it slide.
TAFFY
You're a lunatic. You know that?
Daisy stares at Taffy with a knowing smile on her face. Long
enough for Taffy to fidget and look at her.
TAFFY (CONT'D)
Once again, I've gotten sucked into
your crazy schemes.
DAISY
You've never been sucked into
anything in your life. Deep down
you know we have to stop this
wedding.
TAFFY
Belynda is pretty awful.
DAISY
And you haven't even seen her at
her worst.
TAFFY
You mean there's more?
Daisy nods. Looks out the window. Her face lights up.
A glowing K-Mart sign shines through the trees.
Daisy points.
DAISY
Look! We're almost there!
Taffy looks at the sign and smiles. Presses harder on the
gas.
EXT. K-MART - PARKING LOT - NIGHT
Taffy's car turns into the nearly empty parking lot. Parks in
a space near the entrance of the aging building.
Daisy and Taffy climb out of the car and do a celebration
dance. Lots of high fives and shimmies.
Taffy "walks like an Egyptian" while Daisy does the "Roger
Rabbit."
Both girls freeze mid step when the lights inside the store
systematically turn off. They look at each other in horror
and sprint to the entrance.
EXT. K-MART - ENTRANCE - NIGHT
Taffy and Daisy reach the door just as BITTER STORE MANAGER
steps outside to lock the door.
DAISY
Wait! We have to buy something.
It's an emergency.
Bitter Store Manager turns to give her an apologetic smile.
Frowns when he sees the top of her hair is missing.
BITTER STORE MANAGER
I'm sorry, miss. We're closed.
DAISY
But you don't understand. We've
gone through a lot to get here. We
just need one thing.
BITTER STORE MANAGER
The registers are all closed and
the lights are off. I'd like to
help you, but I can't.
Too stressed, Daisy looks to Taffy for help.
TAFFY
We understand. But isn't there
another K-Mart? One that's open 24
hours?
Hope flares in Daisy's eyes.
Rage flares in the Bitter Store Manager's eyes.
Taffy and Daisy take a step back.
BITTER STORE MANAGER
Who sent you? Was it Thomas? He
just couldn't resist rubbing my
nose in it, could he?
TAFFY
We don't know any Thomas.
BITTER STORE MANAGER
I trained that ungrateful,
sniveling weasel. And how does he
repay me? By stealing my promotion
to run the Super Center.
He advances on them menacingly. Daisy and Taffy back away.
DAISY
We're sorry to hear that, but if
you could just tell us how to get
there.
BITTER STORE MANAGER
Tell you how to get there? Like you
don't already know. You two work
for Thomas don't you?
TAFFY
No. We don't.
BITTER STORE MANAGER
What kind of horrible people are
you to drive all the way down here?
Just to torment an old man.
Bitter Store Manager bursts into tears.
TAFFY
No sir. We just needed to buy some
super glue for her brother's
wedding tomorrow.
The man's tears instantly dry. He perks right up.
BITTER STORE MANAGER
Well why didn't you say so?
Taffy and Daisy exchange a wary look.
BITTER STORE MANAGER (CONT'D)
The Super Center is over on Douglas
Road. Turn right out of the parking
lot and left on Highway 37. About 3
miles in to the next county, turn
left on Douglas road. It'll be on
the right.
He gives them a serene, helpful smile.
Taffy and Daisy look at each other. Continue to back away.
TAFFY
Thank you.
They turn and run back to her car.
Bitter Store Manager waves.
BITTER STORE MANAGER
Y'all come back now, ya hear?
INT. TAFFY'S CAR - NIGHT
Taffy and Daisy dive in the car and lock the doors. They look
at each other.
DAISY
Did you get all that?
Taffy shakes her head.
TAFFY
I got right, left, left, right.
DAISY
I got parking lot, highway 37,
Douglas Road, Super Center.
TAFFY
So it's right...
DAISY
...out of the parking lot.
TAFFY
Left...
DAISY
...Highway 37.
TAFFY
Left...
DAISY
...Douglas Road. Super Center...
TAFFY
...is on the right!
They grin at each other. Taffy starts the car and they're on
their way.
INT. SELLERS' HOUSE - TEDDY'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
Teddy and Kevin sit on the floor polishing their shoes. Kevin
puts the brush down and flexes his hand.
KEVIN
If this time isn't good enough, I'm
gonna have to insist that she do
this herself.
TEDDY
Give her a break. Belynda's just
nervous. Tomorrow is a big day.
KEVIN
How you put up with that woman,
I'll never know.
TEDDY
That woman is going to be my wife.
I'd appreciate a little respect.
Kevin nods apologetically. Lays down, exhausted.
KEVIN
What'd she say when you told her
you were leaving the firm to join
the magazine.
Teddy suddenly finds a spot on his shoe to fully focus on.
Kevin looks at him.
KEVIN (CONT'D)
You did tell her, right?
TEDDY
I'm going to. I'm just waiting for
the right moment. She's been so
stressed planning the wedding and
all. I'll tell her.
KEVIN
You're backing out of the deal
aren't you?
TEDDY
What? No. I wouldn't do that to
you.
KEVIN
Then tell her. Tonight.
TEDDY
I'm not telling her tonight. Are
you out of your mind?
Kevin neatly folds the rag by his shoes and places everything
to the side.
KEVIN
Then I can't be your best man.
TEDDY
You'd resort to blackmail? The
night before the biggest day of my
life?
KEVIN
Well reasoning hasn't seemed to
work. How can you marry someone
you're afraid to talk to?
TEDDY
I'm not afraid. I just don't want
to disappoint her. She's so
delicate.
Kevin snorts. Lays back down and closes his eyes.
TEDDY (CONT'D)
What's that supposed to mean?
Kevin doesn't answer.
TEDDY (CONT'D)
I know you all think I'm making a
mistake. You just don't see the
same things in Belynda that I see.
KEVIN
More like you don't see what we
see. How long do you really expect
to last living with that kind of
high maintenance?
TEDDY
She's not high maintenance.
Kevin holds up a shoe.
KEVIN
We're polishing shoes. For the
third time. After a professional
polished them. Right out of the
box. Off the assembly line.
TEDDY
Alright, alright. I get it. Wait
until you get married. Let's see
how your bride handles the stress.
Kevin turns his head so Teddy won't see his blush.
Teddy studies him.
TEDDY (CONT'D)
You've met someone, haven't you?
You sly dog. I can't believe you
didn't tell me.
KEVIN
I don't know what you're talking
about. But if I were getting
married, it wouldn't be to someone
who freaks out over non existent
spots on shoes.
TEDDY
Just you remember you said that. So
when your bride is running around
like a chicken with her head cut
off I won't have to remind you.
KEVIN
Won't happen.
Kevin sits up to continue polishing the shoes.
Teddy smiles.
TEDDY
You're terrible at blackmail.
KEVIN
Nah. I'm just a really good friend.
TEDDY
Speaking of good friends. I haven't
heard a peep out of Taffy or Daisy.
Not since Taffy tried on the dress.
Kevin works to keep his tone nonchalant. Shrugs.
KEVIN
You know women. They're probably
trying to get their beauty sleep.
TEDDY
Since when are those two women?
KEVIN
They were bound to grow up
sometime.
TEDDY
And when did Taffy get all those
curves? She's not the little tomboy
that used to trail after us.
KEVIN
Remember how nothing we threw at
them would ever faze them?
TEDDY
That was all Taffy. She always
steadies Daisy. I pity the man who
tries to come between those two.
Kevin stands to stretch studies Teddy's dreamy expression.
KEVIN
If he's smart. He won't. He'll just
join them.
TEDDY
I suppose you're right. I'm glad
Taffy finally showed up. I was
afraid she was going to miss the
wedding. It wouldn't be right.
She's family.
KEVIN
Just remember that when you're
admiring all those curves. Me on
the other hand, I have no such
restrictions. Maybe I should ask
her out.
Kevin watches Teddy frown.
TEDDY
Nah. We're too old, man.
KEVIN
I don't know. Get the younger model
now and take good care of it, you
won't have to trade it in the
future.
TEDDY
Yeah. You're definitely not asking
her out. She's officially off
limits. Just like Daisy.
KEVIN
What? Taffy's not your sister.
TEDDY
Close enough.
KEVIN
Not. I think the two of us could
have a lot of fun together.
TEDDY
I think you should find someone
else. There'll be hordes of single
women here tomorrow. You'll have
your pick of the litter.
KEVIN
So what if I want to pick Taffy?
TEDDY
She's not in the litter.
KEVIN
If I didn't know better, I say
you're getting all up in arms
because you want her for yourself.
TEDDY
Me? With Taffy? That's crazy talk.
Have you forgotten? I'm getting
married tomorrow.
KEVIN
Then you shouldn't care if Taffy
and I hook up.
TEDDY
I don't care. I mean...I do. Just
not the way you're implying.
KEVIN
In civilian speak, Councilor.
TEDDY
You're my best friend. Taffy is
like my little sister. I want to
see you both happy. It's my
obligation.
KEVIN
And if we're happy together?
TEDDY
You won't be. I can see you both
objectively. You're just not a good
romantic match.
KEVIN
Because she matches you.
TEDDY
Exactly.
Kevin gives him a triumphant smile. Teddy raises an eyebrow.
TEDDY (CONT'D)
But I'm getting married. She'd be
happy with someone like me. Not me,
per se.
KEVIN
Yeah. Whatever, Councilor.
INT. TAFFY'S CAR - DRIVING - NIGHT
Taffy slows the car. She and Daisy both stare hard out the
windows at the passing rural scenery.
DAISY
We should've found Douglas Road by
now.
TAFFY
We haven't even passed a gas
station in the last twenty miles.
Would they really build one this
far in the middle of nowhere?
DAISY
We'll have to run into someone who
can tell us soon.
TAFFY
Let's just turn around. Go back and
ask.
DAISY
What if we just haven't gone far
enough? It's already so late. We'd
have to drive all the way back out
here. I'm sure we'll run into it.
Taffy leans forward to look out the windshield. Points up
ahead at a faint light.
TAFFY
See that?
DAISY
What?
She leans forward to follow Taffy's finger.
TAFFY
That light. I think it may be a
farm house or something.
DAISY
Yes! They should know how to get to
K-Mart. Living way out here.
There's the driveway.
TAFFY
We'll knock only if there are more
lights on. I'd hate to wake
anybody.
EXT. DRIVEWAY - NIGHT
Taffy's car turns on the unkempt dirt driveway. Bounces
through deep ruts. Knee high grass and weeds line both sides
of the lane.
The car approaches the dilapidated house and matching barn.
Lights burn inside the house. The car does a U turn and parks
near the sagging porch.
INT. DILAPIDATED HOUSE - KITCHEN - NIGHT
SOOSIE MAE (50s), NFL linebacker body perched on top of the
shapeliest pair of legs ever, stomps angrily from one end of
the kitchen to the other. Black licorice hangs forgotten
between two crooked fingers.
SOOSIE MAE
Failed. Again. What in the world
did I ever do to deserve you?
Billy Bob Darryl cowers in the corner by two mini
refrigerators stacked where a full sized refrigerator would
be. His face is a battered mess.
SOOSIE MAE (CONT'D)
How hard is it to rob a convenience
store? It's not like I didn't show
you how before you could walk.
BILLY BOB DARRYL
Sorry, ma. There were these girls.
SOOSIE MAE
I don't want to hear your excuses.
Headlights sweep across the room catching both of their
attention.
SOOSIE MAE (CONT'D)
Who is that this time of night?
EXT. DILAPIDATED HOUSE - PORCH - NIGHT
Taffy and Daisy carefully climb out of the car. They look
around the property uneasily. Exchange a look. Start to get
back in the car.
SOOSIE MAE (O.S.)
Who's out there?
Taffy and Daisy jump and turn to look at Soosie Mae where she
now stands on the porch.
TAFFY
We're really sorry to bother you,
ma'am. We were hoping you could
tell us how to get to K-Mart.
SOOSIE MAE
Awfully late for a couple chickies
like you to be going to K-Mart.
DAISY
Yes, ma'am. But it's an emergency.
For my brother's wedding tomorrow.
Billy Bob Darryl peers over his mother's shoulder. His eyes
widen when he sees them.
Taffy and Daisy see him. Their eyes widen.
BILLY BOB DARRYL
Them, Ma! That's them girls I 'as
tellin' you 'bout! They did this to
me.
SOOSIE MAE
You did this to my boy?
Soosie Mae pulls him out on the porch so they can see his
battered face.
TAFFY
Well, he tried to shoot us. We were
just scared.
SOOSIE MAE
You had no right touchin' my boy.
TAFFY
He had no right robbing a
convenience store!
Daisy looks at Taffy like she's crazy. Grabs her arm and
pulls her towards the car.
SOOSIE MAE
A boy got to obey his mama. Where's
my shotgun?
Billy Bob Darryl ducks back in the house.
Taffy and Daisy look at each other. Sprint back to the car
and dive in.
Billy Bob Darryl returns with the shotgun just as Taffy gets
the car moving.
Soosie Mae expertly loads the gun. Takes aim.
BLAST!
INT. TAFFY'S CAR - DRIVING - NIGHT
The back window explodes.
Taffy and Daisy scrunch down in their seats. Taffy floors it.
They bounce crazily over the ruts.
BLAST!
Taffy swerves onto the grass. Gains better traction on the
even ground and they shoot down the lane.
EXT. DILAPIDATED HOUSE - PORCH - NIGHT
Soosie Mae points to their disappearing taillights.
SOOSIE MAE
What you waitin' on? Go get 'em!
Billy Bob Darryl nods. He runs to his beat up truck. Guns the
engine and takes off.
SOOSIE MAE (CONT'D)
Make mama proud!
INT. TAFFY'S CAR - DRIVING - NIGHT
Taffy skids out onto the road. Gets control of the car. Looks
at Daisy who tightly grasps the dashboard.
TAFFY
You okay?
Daisy nods. Buckshot drops out of her hair. She picks up a
pellet. Looks at Taffy. They both look at the shattered back
window.
DAISY
Let's call it a night.
TAFFY
What? You want to give up now? What
happened to saving your brother's
life and all that?
DAISY
I wasn't expecting to risk mine.
Besides, he'll just be miserable as
opposed to my being dead. That's a
fair trade off.
Daisy looks out the back again. Frowns.
Headlights fast approach from behind.
DAISY (CONT'D)
Think they were mad enough to come
after us?
Taffy picks up another pellet. Shows it to Daisy. She nods.
DAISY (CONT'D)
Yeah. Me, too.
Taffy looks in the rearview mirror at the headlights. She
floors it.
Daisy looks back.
The headlights get closer.
DAISY (CONT'D)
Faster.
TAFFY
It's a Hybrid. What do you want
from me?
DAISY
Speed!
She whips around in her seat.
TAFFY
We can't outrun him.
DAISY
You're not giving up.
TAFFY
We have to out smart him. Watch
him. Tell me the moment you can't
see his headlights.
Daisy nods. Turns around to stare out the back window.
TAFFY (CONT'D)
Anything?
DAISY
Nah. What are we going to do?
They fly around a curve.
TAFFY
How about now?
DAISY
No good.
TAFFY
We've got a couple more.
Taffy slows to navigate a couple S curves.
DAISY
No headlights!
TAFFY
Good.
Taffy turns off her headlights. Darkness immediately
surrounds them.
DAISY
What are you doing?
TAFFY
Can't chase us if he can't see us.
She pulls off the side of the road in the bend of the next S
curve. Leaves the engine running. Taffy and Daisy turn to
watch for the vehicle.
EXT. COUNTRY HIGHWAY - NIGHT
Billy Bob Darryl's truck slows in the curve.
INT. PICK UP TRUCK - DRIVING - NIGHT
Billy Bob Darryl frowns when he can't see any taillights. He
slowly navigates the curve. Passes by their hiding spot.
INT. TAFFY'S CAR - NIGHT
Daisy and Taffy watch with bated breath as the truck creeps
by them.
Taffy's car starts beeping. Suddenly her headlights
automatically flash on.
Taffy and Daisy stare at the lights in surprise.
TAFFY
Safety feature.
DAISY
Safety. Of course.
Taffy pulls out on the highway.
TAFFY
Maybe he'll think we're another
car.
The truck swerves and blocks the two lane highway.
DAISY
Maybe not.
TAFFY
Hold on.
Taffy sharply turns the steering wheel to the right. They
bounce onto the shoulder. Keep going on the grass. They
ground drops sharply out from under them. They scream.
