High Road Page #7

Synopsis: High Road showcases a totally improvised script about Glenn "Fitz" Fitzgerald (James Pumphery), a young man whose loyalties are split among his band, his girlfriend Monica (Abby Elliott) and selling weed. After his band breaks up, Fitz finds himself dealing pot out of his garage and bonding with a rebellious 16-year-old Jimmy (Dylan O'Brien). As his former band mates (Zach Woods, Matt L. Jones, Lizzy Caplan) find success and one of his drug deals goes awry, Fitz and Jimmy hit the road. Amid guns, broken bones, sassy cabbies, rude hookers, and a suspicious doctor (Horatio Sanz), Fitz has to navigate their way to safety-and he doesn't even know about the surprise Monica has in store for him back home!

A hand job?

Get in the car, Jimmy.

What... I'm talking...

He said he wants a hand job.

He doesn't want a hand job.

Do you want a hand job?

Yeah. No, he doesn't.

You don't want a hand job.

He doesn't want one. Yeah, I do.

I want a hand job.

Do you have money?

No, you don't.

Yeah, I have money.

Jimmy, get in the van. Van!

All right.

You're bossy.

You are a rude hooker.

So thank you very much.

Okay. See you later.

Why are you

running around with him?

'Cause we're, like,

friends or whatever.

Like butt friends?

No, we're not butt friends.

Next door, room 20.

Room 20. Got it.

Enjoy your f***ing chili dog.

It's a turkey sandwich,

thank you.

Only faggots eat turkey sandwiches.

That's not true at all.

Everybody eats turkey sandwiches.

You're right. I'm sorry.

Unless you're a vegetarian.

Right. F*ggot food.

It's not f*ggot food.

Why is that f*ggot food?

F***ing rude hooker.

That hooker liked me, man.

She likes everybody.

She's a f***ing hooker.

She said I was cute.

She says that to everybody, dude.

No, she didn't say it to you.

Yeah, she did.

Before you came out.

I don't think so.

What the f***?

What are you doing?

Uh... Wha...

Ohh! F***!

What time is it? I don't know.

Why the f***...

The clock's broken.

I had a... You made me

eat all that turkey,

and the tryptophan

made me have nightmares,

you f***ing a**hole.

Jesus!

I have to go to the bathroom.

We should leave real soon.

All right.

Just hang out.

Yeah. I'm gonna stay here.

What the f***?

I mean, this is a

very dangerous-looking place.

Have you seen

the color of this place?

Pink activates

the violent tendencies

of these perpetrators.

This whole thing is pink.

It's the color thing... it

activates... All right, all right.

Speaking of colors,

look for a yellow Duster.

Are you even looking? Not here.

I was looking as we came in the driveway.

I knew it wasn't here.

But I'm hungry, and this guy

might be in here anyway.

You never know.

Hey, man, I'm, uh,

sorry about this.

I was going off a hunch,

you know?

Hey, hey, hey.

That's all you got sometimes.

Some of the greatest cases

have been broken on hunches.

The Zodiac Killer.

Did they ever catch

the Zodiac Killer?

I can't talk.

Let's just get back

on the road.

Let's go. Hey, uh, actually,

I'm gonna take a sh*t.

Okay.

Hey, uh, sorry to bug you.

You gonna be a while or...

Uh, yeah, I'm almost, uh...

I'm almost done... pooping.

Let's roll!

Aah!

Hey!

I heard you sayin'

that I can't dance

Come on, man!

I know! Oh!

Get outta the way!

Stop!

Hey!

Come on! Come on! Sh*t!

Aw, come on! My new radials!

Come on! This way! Come on!

Come on! My radials!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Aw, sh*t!

What are you doing?

Trying to go for the tires!

It's a f***ing gun!

I hate you, Jimmy!

I hate you, Jimmy!

You're gonna get me f***ing killed!

Are you out of your mind?

Jimmy's in there!

I was going for the tires!

Just shut up.

That's an '89 Dodge Ram van.

Midnight black, I would say.

Quit saying numbers.

tread on the Firestone tires.

Just remember 1 -2-4-2, would you?

Midnight black.

F***, man.

I cut my f***ing hand

on my knife.

You're totally f***ing up

my exit strategy.

Yeah, you're a liability to me.

I was gonna sneak out of town,

hide out for a little while,

wait till things cooled off,

go back and live my life

with my f***ing girlfriend!

And now I got two bounty

hunters chasing me

'cause I kidnapped

a f***ing minor!

You're just pissed

'cause Monica made out

with her f***ing boss

yesterday.

F*** you, Jimmy.

...and you're taking it out on me.

Watch it, dude.

I got it, didn't I?

That's the last f***ing straw.

You're out of this van.

I'm pulling over on the

side of the road. Good.

I'm kicking your ass out.

Thanks, Dad.

Don't call me your dad.

F***ing...

You can drive yourself

to Oakland.

F***ing stupid brat.

Girlfriend making out

with everybody.

F*** Barry.

Tommy, too. Have a nice life.

A**holes don't wanna be

in my band anymore.

Fat idiot. Damn it. Damn it!

Hey! Go away, Jimmy!

What the f***, man? I'm 16!

I don't even have

my f***ing permit!

Figure it out!

You're so f***ing smart all the time!

I can't drive.

You're supposed to be my guardian.

I'm not your guardian, okay?

I never agreed to any of this.

I have to go get reconstructive

f***ing facial surgery

in South America!

I'm no good in the States anymore!

You get that?

I am a big-time drug dealer!

A drug dealer, Jimmy!

I'm going to jail

if people catch up with me!

I'm like the Hulk...

whatever the Hulk guy's name

was when he wasn't the Hulk,

except I don't get

to turn into the Hulk!

My girlfriend's making out

with everybody,

and everybody's

f***ing looking for me!

I'm off the grid now! I'm done!

I am John f***ing Doe!

What...

Was that your phone?

My whole life is...

Oh, my God, dude.

You just threw up everywhere.

Oh, God.

You should probably

stop chewing the nicotine gum.

Oh, my God.

The nicotine can't be

too good for you.

You shoved, like,

six pieces in your mouth.

Oh, my God.

F***, I threw my phone. Yeah.

You should've at least taken

your SIM card out.

F***!

Yeah, foolish thinking, man.

It didn't even do any good.

Ow! Oh, my God.

So much just came out

of your back.

Give me that sock.

This is so humiliating.

So much stuff came out.

Is that Tommy's car?

What?

Hey, guys.

Hi. Hey.

I'm so glad to see you.

How are you?

Hey! Ohh!

This space.

I found out that Fitz

has been dealing a lot of weed.

What do you mean you found out?

I ...

I found out that Fitz

has been dealing...

Okay. You know, okay.

You didn't know

that Fitz deals weed?

Everybody knows

that Fitz deals weed.

Yeah.

He's everybody's weed dealer.

How did you... It's all over the... Okay.

Let's just...

Fitz f***ing farts weed.

He doesn't fart weed,

but he does sell it.

Okay. Thank you.

You didn't see it land?

Well, I mean, I did.

Like this area.

This region, you know?

We're in the right place.

I just don't know...

Should I call your phone?

I turned it off.

What do you mean? You threw it spontaneously.

How did you turn it off?

I turned it off 'cause Monica kept calling

me, and I didn't wanna talk to her.

And plus...

It was actually your idea for me to

turn my phone off. Yeah, I know.

It practically was. Okay. Sure.

This is shared responsibility

right now.

F***.

If it's in a f***ing rat hole,

dude, I'm not gonna...

Oh, sh*t!

Oh, f***! Wait! Hey! Wait!

Stop!

Wait!

Stop! Wait!

Oh, f***! Oh, sh*t!

I haven't told him

that I'm pregnant.

Why would you tell him

that you're...

Whoa. 'Cause I'm pregnant.

You're really pregnant?

Really? I'm really pregnant.

Really pregnant? So f***ed up.

You guys are gonna be

the best parents ever.

Your child

is gonna go to Harvard, law.

See, I'm just not sure that Fitz

is gonna be the best parent ever.

Why? I don't know where he is.

I don't know why the f***

he's going to Oakland.

He's going to Oakland
