Yeah, my dad left for Iowa to go hunting when we were at film so we can come back here and crash.
ANGEL
Wait, your dad left?
BRODY
Yeah I just said that why?
ANGEL
He took his truck?
BRODY
Yes, why? What are you thinking?

BRODY
I can’t believe he left them
ANGEL
Let’s drive it around
BRODY backs out of the garage and gets on the road
BRODY
Driving this car scares me to death
ANGEL
Why? It’s such a nice car
BRODY
That’s exactly why, if anything happened to this while I am driving it my dad would have me crucified.
ANGEL
Nothing is going to happen to it, you should take it to the party tonight.
BRODY(ABRUPTLY)
What!? That would the worst place to take it. Plus I thought you were driving.
ANGEL
I can but just think about all the chicks we could get if we took this.
BRODY
True, but I don’t wanna drive though.

I mean… I’ll drive this car
BRODY laughs sarcastically
BRODY
Nevermind, I’ll drive.

Geez, hurry up, you take longer than a girl to get ready

ANGEL holds out open hand with 3 white pills resting in his palm.
ANGEL
Take these
BRODY
What are those?
ANGEL
Just take them, they will mellow you out so you’re not so paranoid about the car.
BRODY takes the pills from angels hand and throws all 3 in his mouth and swallows them dry with no water.
ANGEL(YELLS)
Brody!!!
BRODY(YELLS)
What?
ANGEL
I didn’t mean all 3 of them, you were suppose to take one and I was going to take two since I’m not driving.
BRODY
Well you could’ve told me that before you handed me all three of them.
ANGEL
Oh well, that just means I can drink now.
DISSOLVE TO:

ISSAC
You want a beer Brody?
BRODY
No, I have to drive home and Angel gave me some pills so even if I wasn't driving I can't drink
ISSAC
What kind of pills did he give you?
BRODY
I have no idea i’ve been feeling really mellow ever since I got here though.
ISSAC walks over to the empty table and starts setting the cups up into a triangle
ISSAC
You know how to play right?
BRODY
Yes, this isn’t my first rodeo.
(ISSAC hands Brody a ping pong ball)

Everybody cops are coming!
Everybody runs to their cars panicking and yelling
BRODY runs back inside one last time to look for angel
BRODY(YELLS)
Angel! The cops are coming we need to go!
(NO REPLY)
BRODY runs back outside with cop lights lighting up the entire road, he runs to his car and quickly opens the door to find angel in the driver seat and a girl he didn’t recognize in the passenger seat passed out. He runs over to the other side of the car and picks the girl up and lays her on top of somebody car parked next to him.

CUT TO:
INT. BRODY’S ROOM, 8 A.M.
BRODY wakes up dazed and confused
ANGEL Is rolled up in the blankets sleeping
BRODY instantly runs out to the garage and checks on the car.
There isn’t a flaw on it, almost as if they never took it.
