Loco Love Page #3

It's a free country.

There she is.

Hey, where you going?

MAN:
Who will work early Saturday?

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

I'll be right back.

What?

What do you mean

you'll be right back?

Where are you going?

Marisol!

Damn it, it's office hours, Marisol!

Do you like jelly beans?

I like the red hots.

Red hots?

Those spit fire things?

No, no, no. Come here.

I'm gonna show you how to do it.

Take a little bit of...

let's call it bubblegum flavor.

Maybe a little green apple.

(CHUCKLES)

And wait. Wait for it.

Come here.

You can't forget strawberry daiquiri.

And you make a smoothie.

What's your name?

Marisol.

I'm Gavin.

(MARISOL SIGHS)

Why did you kiss me

the other day?

Because somebody said I shouldn't.

Oh, it was a dare.

Well, 'til you kissed me back.

UNCLE:
Marisol!

Sh*t! Oh, God, that's my uncle!

GAVIN:
Your uncle?

Yes. I was supposed to get

a shipment with him. I gotta go.

I gotta go, okay?

Okay, wait. Wait, wait.

Who were you with?

With no one, Uncle. It's nobody.

Let's go.

Luke, I saw her. Stop drinking.

Where did you go?

What do you mean where did I go?

I saw her.

You saw that Mexican girl.

Yeah.

You sound like a 16-year-old girl.

Whatever, bro.

Work is work.

I'm not your uncle here,

I'm your boss.

Be certain of it.

You can't leave the store

to go chase a gringo?

Do you think it's okay?

I don't think it's okay at all.

This is your life

and this is your problem.

Okay? Okay.

Yeah.

What happened? Tell me.

He kisses like... so...

Oh, my God!

(BOTH SCREAMING)

Girls, girls! Cut it out.

Turn around. Turn around.

You're a slut.

I'm in love, Luke.

Shut the f*** up.

These girls are for fun, man.

Exotic entertainment, that's it.

Pull yourself together

or I'm gonna tell your dad.

Luke, I'm in love.

Shut your face!

No, son! Wait, wait.

That's very delicate,

give me the scissors.

You gather all the leaves

with the rake and put them there.

Go ahead.

With this?

Yeah, with the rake. Over there.

(TRIMMING BUSH)

Oh, baby! Did you see it?

Yeah.

That's how you play football!

Gotta take it to 'em. Knock the snot

out of them. Every single down.

All the time, every single...!

GAVIN:
Alright, dad. Alright.

Dad, I can't work here!

MAN:
(ON TV) ...but Davis has

the mobility to get out of trouble

and keep these games packed

in third down session.

Now would you want...?

Let me show you something. See.

Get down in your four point stance,

put the weight on

the balls of your feet,

and drive upwards!

Okay, Dad!

Oh, quit your crying?

See what happens?

Gotta listen to your old man,

or you'll never make it to the pros.

Alright, Dad.

Give me that, man.

Dude, Gav, you should think about

giving me the butcher.

No.

Okay.

You know, I gave him that

when he was ten years old.

Tired of illegal immigrants

stealing your jobs and healthcare?

Every day, thousands of

illegal immigrants

cross Arizona's border into our lands.

The damage they do is immeasurable.

But now, you too

can help stop them.

Regular people like you

can help protect America.

Hey, show some respect!

Join the Clayton Brothers Brigade!

Sit down, now!

I think you'd make

a good border patrol agent, Mr. Hayes.

Are you mocking me, boy?

No, sir.

But I would like to point out

that you have an uncomfortable amount

of guns in your home.

Are you going to join?

No.

You have to be 21.

Do you know how to shoot?

Yes, sir. My father taught me

when I was six.

Let me show you something.

I'm not afraid to join.

GAVIN:
Come on, Dad.

Hell, I'll join

those Clayton Brothers today.

Dad!

Dad!

(LAUGHS)

Come on!

Look at your face.

I swear my own daughter's got

more balls than you do.

WOMAN:
Defending the Alamo

in essence meant defending Texas.

Marisol, what's your perspective

about it?

Well, a lot of Mexicans

fought for the Alamo also.

Well, it's correct.

Yeah, well, after the war was over,

they took our guns away and relegated

us out, calling us Indians,

like it was a bad thing.

Well, it was a very complicated time.

Well, as complicated

as it is now, don't you think?

I mean, we are still good enough

to be able to go off to war

and fight for America.

But what about when we want

to live a simple life here?

We get this segregated treatment,

especially here in Arizona.

Okay, Marisol,

we can talk about that later, okay?

What are we going to do?

I'll be right back, man.

Gavin!

Hey, Chris.

Hey, we need to talk.

I don't want to talk right now.

Don't leave. Stay with me.

I'll be back in a sec.

Gavin, well,

help me up there with you!

LUKE:
I get it now, bro.

One gets a little tired

of white meat, right?

It's not it, man.

Yeah, okay, you f***ing skank.

No, but seriously, dude, this chick

better have a f***ing friend

'cause I did not come all this way

to dick around in the park.

She'll have one. I'm telling you.

This f***ing gringo again?

GAVIN:
See? There she is right here.

Okay.

Hey, Marisol.

Hey.

How are you?

This is Tet and this is Kiko.

Hi, Tet.

Hi.

Hey, Kiko, how's it going? I'm Gavin.

What's up?

This is my buddy, Luke.

Hi, nice to meet you, Tet.

What's up, buddy?

Hi.

Hey, Luke. What's up?

Hey, Marisol, I uh...

I want to show you something, actually.

Okay.

Come with me.

MARISOL:
Where are we going?

LUKE:
Well f***.

You want to get some

coffee or something?

Yeah, sure.

Cabrn, she's with me!

LUKE:
Where did you say

you were born again?

I was born here,

but my mom's from Venezuela.

Do you know where that is?

Never mind.

It's somewhere down there.

I know you guys have

a couple of ball players.

TET:
Try a couple of Miss Universes.

Country of the most beautiful women.

Well, I mean...

That I can tell.

What the f***?

Sorry!

Sorry!

TET:
Kiko!

Where in the world

are you taking me, Gavin?

I'll show you.

So are there any, like,

lethal predators or rattle snakes?

You'll be fine.

Possible...

Just don't tell anybody

about this place, okay?

Cougars that will eat us

out here?

(LAUGHING)

GAVIN:
Watch your step.

Or are you just trying to make me

disappear into the mountains

and never be heard of again?

So do all your friends risk death?

No, just you.

Gosh, it's so beautiful.

GAVIN:
It's nice, huh?

(GAVIN SIGHS)

It's quiet.

You know, it's away from everything.

It's like a whole different planet

out here.

Nobody is telling you what to do and...

Best part is, here you could...

you could be whatever you want.

Yeah.

What's that?

Over there, on the end.

It's the border.

What?

MARISOL:
It's weird, that's all.

It's such a tiny little thing over there

and it means so much...

to way too many people around here.

Yeah.

Well, I'm gonna draw it.

Might as well.

GAVIN:
What, are you an artist?

No.

I just draw, artists starve anyways.

How long have you been drawing then?

Um, I guess I can say

since I was little.

My dad used to take me

to work with him.

I drew like a million different

types of gardens and landscapes there.
