Lost Highway Page #22

Pete pulls over into a dark shadow under a tree and stops

the car.

He cuts the engine, turns to Sheila and kisses her. She breaks

away.

SHEILA:

Why don't you like me?

PETE:

I do like you, Sheila.

Sheila puts her lips up close to his and whispers.

SHEILA:

How much?

Pete kisses her and she kisses him back. They start to feel

each other and Sheila takes off her tight sweater. She's

wearing no bra and Pete begins to feel her breasts while she

unbuttons his shirt. They continue to kiss hard throughout.

CUT TO:

EXT. STREET - NIGHT

Ed and Al are stopped a half a block behind Pete and Sheila.

They're watching the couple as they make love in the front

seat of Pete's car.

CUT TO:

EXT. STREET - NIGHT

Pete and Sheila are naked in the front seat. Sheila clings

to Pete as they make love. She's hopelessly in love with

him.

FADE IN:

INT. ARNIE'S GARAGE - LATE AFTERNOON

Pete and the other MECHANICS are working in the garage. The

clock on the wall reads: 4:45 p.m.

Some of the guys are cleaning up - washing their hands -

putting tools away.

Pete is ragging off some grease from his hands when he notices

a CAB pull up to the front of the garage. The beautiful blonde

steps out of the cab and comes up to him.

Pete's heart races - she smiles at him.

BEAUTIFUL BLONDE (ALICE)

Hi. I'm Alice Wyatt.

PETE:

Pete Dayton.

ALICE:

I was here yesterday.

PETE:

Yeah, I remember.

ALICE:

How would you like to take me to

dinner?

PETE:

(laughs uncomfortably)

I don't know.

ALICE:

Okay, then, I'll take you to dinner.

Pete hesitates - thinks.

PETE:

Look, I don't think it's a good idea.

Alice looks hard at him, then smiles.

ALICE:

Where's your phone? I have to call

another taxi.

PETE:

(pointing)

Over there.

Alice walks to the office inside the garage - picks up the

phone and dials information.

ALICE:

(into phone)

Can you give me the number for United

Cab?

She turns and looks at Pete while she's speaking, then

listening.

ALICE:

(into phone)

Thanks.

Alice dials the number.

ALICE:

(into phone)

Yes, I need a taxi at Arnie's Auto

Repair, the corner of Fifth and...

Pete has walked over. He takes the telephone out of her hand.

PETE:

(into phone)

We won't be needing a cab, thanks

anyway.

He hangs up the phone.

ALICE:

Why don't we just skip dinner.

CUT TO:

EXT. ARTHUR'S HIDEAWAY MOTEL - NIGHT

Pete and Alice pull up to the cheap motel in Pete's Camaro.

Pete gets out and leaves Alice in the car.

She waits and watches him go into the office.

CUT TO:

EXT. ARTHUR'S HIDEAWAY MOTEL - ACROSS THE STREET - NIGHT

Ed and Al are watching Pete and Alice. They watch Pete come

out of the office and take Alice into one of the motel rooms.

ED:

'F***er gets more p*ssy than a toilet

seat.

Al shakes his head with anger mixed with a lot of envy.

CUT TO:

INT. ARTHUR'S HIDEAWAY MOTEL - A ROOM - NIGHT

Pete and Alice enter the room. There is a double bed, a little

desk, two bedside tables with lamps, a floor lamp, and a

bathroom. They don't notice any of this.

Just inside the room Alice takes Pete's hand and they turn

to each other. Alice puts Pete's hand between her legs. She

moves up close to him and closes her eyes.

They kiss tenderly at first - then hotter.

ALICE:

(whispers)

Take off my clothes.

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. ARTHUR'S HIDEAWAY MOTEL - THE ROOM - NIGHT

Pete and Alice are naked on the double bed in just the glow

of the motel's neon lights coming in between the window

curtains.

They're up on their knees - right next to each other. They

look in each other's eyes as their hands move and touch.

Alice smiles with a wild, dreamy look in her eyes.

Pete puts his hand between her legs and Alice kisses him

with a frenzy.

They fall back on the bed.
