Someone cackles.
LAURA:
We did not shove you off the road!
You shoved us off the road!
TONY:
Shhh. Be quiet.
INDIA:
(Quietly) It’s a lie.
RAY:
You think I’m a liar?
TONY:
She’s just a child.
25.
RAY:
You think I’m a liar!
TONY:
No. She’s not saying that man.
She’s just a child.
RAY:
You don’t got a flat, go on and
drive. Start the engine and drive.
Drive on it a**hole, drive away.
Nobody’s stopping you.
Tony starts the car and rolls it forward. It is evident that
the tire is flat. He turns off the engine.
TONY:
God damn it!
LAURA:
Oh god! Oh god! What are we going
to do Tony? What are we going to
do?
TONY:
It’s alright. It’s okay.
LAURA:
It’s not okay. We’re in the middle
of nowhere. What are we going to
do?
RAY:
Tell you what. We’ll fix it for
you. Won’t we, guys?
TURK:
Yeah. Sure.
LAURA:
Really?
RAY:
Yeah, just to show you we’re okay
we’ll fix it for you, you won’t
have to do a thing, and then we’ll
go to the cops together, you and
me, and report your accident.
26.
TURK:
You got tools, mister?
LAURA:
Don’t get out of the car. Please.
RAY:
No need. Use ours. Come on, let’s
get going.
The three men go to the trunk of their car while Tony and his
wife and daughter watch with their doors locked. They watch
while the men bring out their tools, the jack, the tire iron.
TURK:
You got a spare tire man?
Tony pauses. He is not sure. The men start to laugh. All but
Ray who is lighting a cigarette.
RAY:
You cain’t change a tire without a
spare.
TURK:
You wanna give me the keys to the
trunk?
LAURA:
No.
INDIA:
No, dad.
Turk looks at India for a long time. Staring. Looking her up
and down.
TURK:
Who the f*** do you think you are?
TONY:
Just pop the trunk open for me
Laura.
Tony gets out of the car and lifts out the suitcases and
boxes in the light of the flashlight held by Turk, until they
get at the spare tire.
27.
Ray taking a drag off of his cigarette begins dancing next to
the car.
TURK:
RAY:
Come on, get em out.
Tony stares blankly at Ray as he weighs this in his mind. Ray
is becoming irritated.
RAY (CONT’D)
Come on man! We gotta lift your car
up on a jack so get um out.
Tony looks around surveying the situation.
RAY (CONT’D)
Dude! We gotta lift your wife and
your child and your car? Get your
women out of the car!
Tony looks at his wife and daughter. He clocks the man with
the crowbar and the other with the wrench.
TONY:
It’s all right honey. They just
want you out while they fix the
tire.
Laura and India get out and stand near the door of the car.
The men begin raising the car and loosening the flat tire.
Ray is kicking the luggage around at the back of the car
inspecting it with the toe of his cowboy boot. He looks up at
Tony.
RAY:
Come over here.
RAY (CONT’D)
You seen what you did to my car?
You think you’re f***in hot sh*t
don’t you?
TONY:
What are you talking about?
28.
RAY:
They definitely think they’re
f***in hot sh*t.
TONY:
Who?
RAY:
Are you serious. Your b*tches man,
who else? You too. You think you’re
somthin special, you can bump a
guy’s car and then leave the scene
of an accident.
TONY:
Listen, you were playing some kind
of crazy game with us on the road.
RAY:
Yeah?
The flashing blue lights of a police car suddenly appear. The
car is moving at very high speed, clearly on a call. Tony
steps towards the road and waves his arms. Laura and India
run towards the road screaming. They are too late and shout
frantically into the night as the police car speeds off into
the distance. Ray holds his breath for a moment and then he
and the other two men start laughing.
RAY (CONT’D)
There goes your cops. You should
have tried harder to stop them. But
that’s okay. We’ll take good care
of you.
The men continue to work on the car. They seem to enjoy it
and laugh and talk. Ray is not laughing.
Ray paces back and forth while the other two men finish
changing the tire. Ray looks periodically over at Laura and
India tapping his feet and murmuring under his breath.
RAY (CONT’D)
(Murmuring) F***in b*tches. F***in
god damned uppity b*tches. F***
you. I’ll teach you a thing or two.
F*** you...
29.
Tony is watching Ray pace back and forth. He hears what he is
saying.
RAY (CONT’D)
What are you looking at? Hot shot.
He is muttering to himself and becoming more agitated.
RAY (CONT’D)
What were you trying to do there on
the road?
TONY:
We are just trying to get to where
we are going.
RAY:
And where’s that?
Tony says nothing.
RAY (CONT’D)
I said, where are you going.
TONY:
Marfa.
RAY:
And what exactly is in Marfa?
Tony looks at the ground. The man moves closer to Tony and
brings his face level with his. Tony takes a step backwards
and Ray closes the gap. Ray leans forward forcing Tony to
lean back.
RAY (CONT’D)
I said, what’s in Marfa? Hey mother
f***er.
Ray takes hold of Tony’s crotch and shoves him.
TONY:
Hey, let go of me.
INDIA:
Leave my dad alone, a**hole!
LAURA:
India...
30.
RAY:
F*** you, baby.
LAURA:
She didn’t mean that. She’s just a
kid.
Ray strolls over to where India and Laura are standing. They
are terrified.
Turk grabs Tony and pushes him backwards as Ray shoves India
up against the car.
RAY:
What’s in Marfa? Your daddy won’t
tell me so why don’t you.
INDIA:
What is it to you anyway?
Tony is now fighting to get to India as Turk pushes him back
with a crowbar.
RAY:
Come on baby, we’re nice guys.
We’re fixin your tire.
Ray begins to dance in front of India, trapping her at the
door of the car.
RAY (CONT’D)
Wanna dance? Wanna dance?
Ray looks towards Tony who is still struggling with Turk to
get towards his daughter.
TONY:
Let her go!
RAY:
Look at him. Your daddy thinks he’s
so much better than me. What do you
think?
India looks him straight in the eyes.
INDIA:
Well he is.
31.
RAY:
Look at him. He’s a wimp. A total
p*ssy.
TONY:
Get your hands off of her!
INDIA:
You’re scum, you know.
Ray takes a step towards India. Laura steps in between but he
pushes her aside. He puts his hands on the girl’s shoulders.
Instantly Laura is on him hitting and kicking and pulling at
him from behind until she is flung to the side.
RAY:
B*tch!
Tony moves in but before he knows it Ray knocks him back.
Tony falls to the ground. His nose is bleeding. Ray faces all
three of them.
RAY (CONT’D)
Watch it you f***ing a**holes. You
got no f***ing right to talk to me
like that!
The men by the tire stop to watch.
RAY (CONT’D)
Christ sake, we’re fixin your god
damned tire!
He walks around to the other two men. Laura wraps her arms
around India and tries to calm her down. Tony struggles to
get up from the pavement, his nose bleeding profusely.
