DOROTHY:

(very anxious)

Frank?

FRANK:

You want to see him too, right?

DOROTHY:

Yes, but.

FRANK:

Then, shut up!

Frank sees Dorothy look back at Jeffrey.

FRANK:

(continuing)

Hey. What's this f*** got to do with

anything.

159. INT. FRANK'S CAR/DIRT ROAD - NIGHT

Frank angrily swerves the car off onto a small dirt road bouncing down

it, screeching to a halt near an orchard of trees. He turns violently

around to Jeffrey.

FRANK:

What are you lookin' at?

JEFFREY:

Nothing.

FRANK:

(locks eyes with Jeffrey;

long pause)

Don't look at me, F***. I shoot when I see

the whites of the eyes.

(takes helium)

You like me?.

Jeffrey is quiet.

FRANK:

(still high voice)

Look at these. What are these?

DOROTHY:

Come on, Frank. Let's go. Please.

Frank is doing something to Dorothy's chest but Jeffrey can't see.

FRANK:

Don't say PLEASE, Fuckhead. WHAT ARE

THESE?

DOROTHY:

Those are my breasts.

FRANK:

Can I feel 'em?

DOROTHY:

If you want to.

Frank takes helium.

FRANK:

Baby wants to pinch 'em.

She winces and tries to pull away.

FRANK:

(continuing)

What's the matter? Give 'em back. They're

just a little red, that's all. let me feel

'em again. Come here.

Frank pulls her over and starts to pinch her again. It really hurts her

and she is frightened and in pain.

JEFFREY:

Hey. leave her alone.

Frank pretends not to hear Jeffrey and pinches Dorothy's breasts real hard.

She stifles a scream. Jeffrey gets mad. He hits Frank hard in the face.

Everyone is deadly silent as Frank turns to Jeffrey. Frank stares at

Jeffrey.

FRANK:

NEXT! . out of the car f***. HELP HIM

OUT, RAYMOND!!

160. EXT. FRANK'S CAR/DIRT ROAD - NIGHT

Frank gets out and presses his face against the rear window. His distorted

face is hideous. He opens the back door. Raymond and Paul grab Jeffrey

and pull him out of the car. The Greasy Girl laughs nervously.

DOROTHY:

Frank. he didn't mean it. Leave him

alone. come on. He didn't mean it.

FRANK:

Shut up. Gimme your lipstick.

(takes gas)

. Hey, pretty, pretty.

Dorothy doesn't move fast enough so Frank dumps her whole purse out on the

front seat and grabs the lipstick and a flashlight. He puts lipstick

heavy onto his lips.

While Raymond and Paul hold Jeffrey. Frank kisses Jeffrey all over the

mouth. Jeffrey tries to hit Frank and pull away, but Raymond and Paul

have a hold of him. Jeffrey looks very strange with these big blotches

of red lipstick on his face and mouth.

DOROTHY:

LEAVE HIM ALONE!! FRANK!!

Frank slams the front door shut to muffle Dorothy. He grabs Jeffrey and

presses his frightened face against the front window. Then, the back

window. Then, he flops Jeffrey up on the hood with Paul's help and presses

Jeffrey's face against the rear window. Inside the car, this show is

crazy and scary. Then, Frank takes Jeffrey over to the side of the car

again.

FRANK:

(to Jeffrey)

You're f***in' lucky to be alive.

LOOK AT ME!

Raymond pulls Jeffrey's face back so he's looking at Frank. Dorothy and

the Greasy Girl watch in terror.

FRANK:

Don't be a good neighbor to her or I'm

gonna send you a love letter. straight

from my heart, f***er. You know what a

love letter is? It's a bullet. straight

from my gun, f***er. Once you get a love

letter from me, you're f***ed forever.

Understand, F***?

JEFFREY:

Yes.

FRANK:

I'll send you straight to hell, F***!

Frank takes a small square of blue velvet out of his pocket and begins

feeling Jeffrey's face with it.

FRANK:

(continuing; breathing heavily)

You feel good. feel my muscles.

Raymond makes Jeffrey raise his arm and Jeffrey feels Frank's biceps.

FRANK:

(continuing)

You like that?

(to Raymond and Paul)

Hold him tight for me.

Suddenly Frank starts hitting Jeffrey in the face. Dorothy screams at the

car window.

JEFFREY'S P.O.V. of rocks on the ground.

He slowly picks up and looks around. The car is gone. He is swollen,

bloody, and covered with lipstick. His pants have been pulled down and

"F*** YOU" has been written with lipstick on his legs.

He struggles to his feet and pulls his pants up. He fastens his belt

and begins limping up the dirt road highway.
