I Spit on Your Grave Page #2

JENNIFER:

Oh, okay, I think I saw that.

ISOYG PINK 10/29/09 5.

Johnny flashes his smile, picking his teeth with a toothpick.

Jennifer stands there uncomfortably.

JOHNNY:

You, uh... staying at the cabin?

Jennifer hesitates for a second. Just as Jennifer opens her

mouth to respond, the shrill notes of a HARMONICA shatter the

silence. Jennifer turns quickly to the garage.

In the garage, ANDY, one of Johnny's employees, sits on the

fender of a broken down car. He holds a harmonica to his

lips. He's in his mid-30's with shaggy hair and arms that

look like they could bend steel.

STANLEY, one of Johnny and Andy's buddies, walks up behind

Andy. He's balding and overweight, and digs into a bag of

pork rinds.

STANLEY:

Howdy ma'am.

He leans into Andy who continues playing his harp.

ANDY:

I'd sop that up with a biscuit real

good.

Jennifer turns away from the garage and looks back at Johnny,

who is still awaiting her answer.

JENNIFER:

Uh... no. I mean yes.

As she glances to the gas pump, Johnny looks her up and down.

She is definitely something to look at.

Johnny places his hand on the hood of the car. Glances to

the guys, then back to her.

JOHNNY:

You know, you're running a little

hot. Want me to uh... maybe I

should check under your hood?

Jennifer almost laughs at the way that sounded.

JENNIFER:

How's that line working for you?

The gas pump clicks off interrupting. But Johnny just stands

there looking at her.

ISOYG PINK 10/29/09 5A.

JOHNNY:

I don't know, how's it working for

you?

Johnny saunters over to the pump and in a phallic manner,

pulls the pump out. It gets laughs from the peanut gallery.

Jennifer looks away, a line has been crossed. She looks to

the pump again. $19.78.

ISOYG PINK 10/29/09 6.

JENNIFER:

Let me just...

Jennifer fumbles into her purse when the map falls from her

hands.

JOHNNY:

I'll get that.

JENNIFER:

No I got it--

Johnny gets uncomfortably close to Jennifer at the rear door

of the car when--

HONK -- HONK -- HONK - The SUV's deafening alarm blares out.

Johnny's startled, stumbles backwards, trips and goes

sprawling to the ground.

Jennifer, controlling laughter, holds up her keys and clicks

the alarm off.

Johnny is covered in dust and oil, struggling to get to his

feet while maintaining a shred of dignity. Jennifer

chuckles.

JENNIFER (CONT'D)

Sorry. I accidentally hit the

panic button. Are you okay?

JOHNNY:

I'm fine.

Johnny looks away, angry. He's certainly not the type of guy

who can laugh at himself easily, if at all. From the garage,

Stanley and Andy point at him and guffaw.

ANDY:

(from the garage)

Hey! You better check your

underwear, Johnny.

Stanley smiles and elbows Andy, but his mouth is too full

with pork rinds to actually laugh.

STANLEY:

Yea... Check um' for skidmarks...

Johnny shoots him a harsh look.

Jennifer hands Johnny a twenty. Trying to contain her

laughter.

ISOYG PINK 10/29/09 6A.

JENNIFER:

Sure you okay?

Johnny's eyes are cold, his face red.

ISOYG PINK 10/29/09 7.

JOHNNY:

I said I was fine.

Suddenly, Jennifer grows uneasy. She smiles uncomfortably,

gets in the car and drives away.

Johnny takes a bandana from his pocket and wipes his brow.

He watches Jennifer's car disappear and spits on the ground

as the laughter escalates in her absence. Johnny spins.

JOHNNY (CONT'D)

What the hell are you two dipshits

laughing at?!

7 EXT. CABIN - DAY 7

Jennifer arrives at the cabin. She gets out of her car and

stands there, looking up at it. In slight disrepair and in

need of a paint job but the quaint charm makes you quickly

forget its shortcomings.

8 TNT. CABIN - DAY 8

Jennifer walks in with her bags, looks around the cabin.

It's rustic, but she's hardly roughing it.

9 INT. CABIN, THE KITCHEN - DAY 9

She starts unpacking. A few cardboard boxes with non-

perishable food items sit on the counter next to cases of

bottled water. Also, there's a large wine case with

different liquor bottles in the sections. Jennifer takes out

a bottle of top shelf vodka and puts it in the freezer.

Then she begins to grab the wine bottles, taking an extra

second to look at one, the hell with it, she grabs an opener.

A9 TNT. CABIN - DAY A9

Jennifer sets up her laptop at a make-shift workstation.

Throws some freshly cut flowers in a small vase, a few lucky

figurines from her travels... it all feels very ritualistic.

10 EXT. CABIN - DAY 10

Jennifer site at the end of the boat dock. Laptop and glass

of wine writing away. She couldn't be more content.

ISOYG PINK 10/29/09 8.

She takes a deep, replenishing breath, and then goes back to
