From Dusk till Dawn Page #11

Synopsis: On the run from a bank robbery that left several police officers dead, Seth Gecko (George Clooney) and his paranoid, loose-cannon brother, Richard (Quentin Tarantino), hightail it to the Mexican border. Kidnapping preacher Jacob Fuller (Harvey Keitel) and his kids, the criminals sneak across the border in the family's RV and hole up in a topless bar. Unfortunately, the bar also happens to be home base for a gang of vampires, and the brothers and their hostages have to fight their way out.

Richard doesn't move from his position behind Kate. Kate

feels his eyes on her. She slowly turns and looks at him.

He looks in her face.

CLOSE-UP KATE

She smiles at him.

KATE:

Richie, will you do me a favor and

eat my p*ssy?

CLOSE-UP RICHARD

RICHARD:

Sure.

SETH (O.S.)

Richard!

Richard's eyes go to Seth.

Everybody is where they were. Kate never turned around.

SETH:

Not when you get around to it, now.

Without saying a word, he takes the keys and leaves the room.

SETH:

(pointing at Kate)

You, Gidget, go in the bathroom and

put on some clothes.

She grabs some clothes from the floor and moves towards the

bathroom.

Seth GRABS her wrist.

SETH:

You got three minutes. One second

longer, I shoot your father in the

face. Do you understand what I just

said?

KATE:

Yes.

SETH:

Do you believe me?

KATE:

Yes.

SETH:

You damn well better. Go.

She goes into the bathroom.

JACOB:

Look, if you want the motor home,

just take it and get out.

Seth grabs a chair and slides it up to his two male hostages.

SETH:

Sorry, Pops, it ain't gonna be that

easy.

We hear the motor home "HONK" twice outside.

SETH:

Get ready to move out, we're all

going on a little ride.

Jacob shakes his head "no."

JACOB:

Not a chance.

SETH:

Come again?

JACOB:

If you're taking people, take me.

But my kids aren't going anywhere

with you.

SETH:

Sorry, I need everybody.

JACOB:

My children are not going with you,

and that's that.

SETH:

(angry)

That's not f***in' that...

(holds up his gun)

this is f***in' this.

(he calms down and

looks at Scott)

Go sit over there.

Scott gets up and walks to the other side of the room, leaving

the two men alone. Seth speaks in a quiet, conversational

tone.

SETH:

I ain't got time to f*** around with

you, so I'll make this simple. Take

your kids and get in the car, or

I'll execute all three of you right

now.

(he c*cks the gun and

puts it right in

Jacob's face)

What's it gonna be, yes or no answer?

Jacob looks at him.

JACOB:

Yes.

SETH:

Good.

(to Scott)

Your old man's all right, he just

saved your life.

Seth BANGS on the bathroom door.

SETH:

Times up, Princess.

The bathroom door opens. Kate stands there, wearing a T-shirt,

jeans and bare feet.

SETH:

Okay, ramblers, let's get to rambling.

CUT TO:

EXT. HIGHWAY - NIGHT

The motor home with the powder-keg interior drives through

the Lone Star night.

INT. MOTOR HOME NIGHT

Richard's in the back bed area with a gun trained on Kate

and Scott. The two scared siblings hold hands.

KATE:

Excuse me.

Richard zeros in on her.

RICHARD:

What?

KATE:

Where are you taking us?

RICHARD:

Mexico.

KATE:

What's in Mexico?

RICHARD:

Mexicans.

He doesn't smile.

In the front part of the motor home, Jacob sits behind the

wheel, driving into the night. Seth sits in the passenger

seat, going through Jacob's wallet and talking to him calmly.

SETH:

(reading his driver's

license)

Jacob Fuller. Jacob, that's biblical,

ain't it? What am I askin' for, of

course it is.

(motioning behind him)

What are their names?

JACOB:

Scott and Kate.

Seth repeats the names as he thumbs through the wallet.

SETH:

Scott and Kate... Kate and Scott...

Scott Fuller... Kate Fuller...

Seth comes to a snapshot of Jacob and his wife.

SETH:

Who's this?

JACOB:

My wife.
