                                     DIRK
                         Scotty?

                                                                SPLIT SCREEN:

               INT. EL PUEBLO MOTEL - SAME TIME

               Scotty is on the other end.  CAMERA CIRCLES HIM.

                                     SCOTTY
                         Yeah, Dirk, hey.

                                     DIRK
                         Is Reed there, did he come there?

                                     SCOTTY
                         He's with you.

                                     DIRK
                         No, listen, everything got fucked up 
                         and I can't find, Reed.  I don't no 
                         if he's dead or shot or, or, or, 
                         FUCK FUCK FUCK.

                                     SCOTTY
                         What happened, Dirk, tell me --

                                     DIRK
                         -- We went to the guy and we -- it's 
                         just got all fucked, and he started 
                         shooting and I have no idea where 
                         Reed is -- we both ran in different 
                         directions and I'm sure the cops 
                         showed up and this is so bad and I'm 
                         so fucked here --

                                     SCOTTY
                         Where's Todd?

                                     DIRK
                         He's fucking dead, this guy shot 
                         him, he shot him in the stomach --                    

                                     SCOTTY
                         Jesus Christ, Dirk.  You gotta, you 
                         gotta go to the police or something, 
                         I mean, this is --

                                     DIRK
                         I can't go to the police, Scotty.  I 
                         can't do that.

                                     SCOTTY
                         What do you want me to do?

                                     DIRK
                         I have no idea.

                                     SCOTTY
                         Maybe you should get out of town.

                                     DIRK
                         ...I guess...I guess...I mean.

                                     SCOTTY
                         Why don't you just keep driving, do 
                         you have any money in your pocket or 
                         anything?

                                     DIRK
                         No.  Nothing.

                                     SCOTTY
                         Just go for as long as you can and 
                         then call me here and I'll find out 
                         where Reed is or -- I dunno.  I dunno 
                         what the hell to say right now, Dirk.  
                         This is so -- I just --

                                     DIRK
                         Yeah.  Yeah ---ohhhhhhhFUCK.  He 
                         killed him, Scotty.  And Reed ran 
                         off, and -- it was a mess, it was 
                         blood and smoke everywhere.

                                     SCOTTY
                         You gotta split, Dirk.  Maybe we can 
                         figure this out in the morning or 
                         something when Reed gets back, maybe 
                         everything will be okay, but you 
                         should really just take off.

                                     DIRK
                         Alright.  Yeah.  Alright.

                                     SCOTTY
                         OK.  Call me when you get to wherever 
                         you're going --                   

               They hang up.

               END SPLIT SCREEN, STAY WITH DIRK.  He hops in the Corvette 
               and puts the key in the ignition --

               ECU.  KEY INTO THE IGNITION.  CAMERA pans up a little, to 
               see the Gas Tank Display.  The orange needle is on, "E."

               Dirk takes off --

                                                                   CUT TO:
