looks like a “Bella.” She removes the spike from her ear. A

beat. WIDEN TO REVEAL: Kimmy Jin and a room full of Koreans

watching a movie with 3-D glasses on.

59 EXT. ZIPPY’S BURRITOS - DAY 59

Bumper, Donald, and UNI, wearing show jackets, exit with big

ass burritos and pile into Donald’s car.

BUMPER:

I could eat these everyday.

DONALD/UNI

You do. Jinx, b*tch! Double jinx!

Buy me a coke! Holy crap! Call

Guinness! Sh*t! Oh my God!!

59C EXT. KENNEDY RESIDENCE HALL - LATER 59C

Donald’s car pulls up. Guys load onto the Trebles “tricked

out” bus. Some Trebles, including Jesse, are already inside

when Benji jumps on board.

BENJI:

Can I hitch a ride? I’d take my

car, but... I don’t have one.

The Trebles just stare at Benji. After a beat, Jesse gets up

and gently escorts Benji off the bus.

JESSE:

Benji, I’m sorry. I think only

Trebles can ride the bus. It’s

pretty much a rule.

BENJI:

Of course. Good luck tonight.

Benji walks away. Jesse shakes his head, “Poor guy.”

63A.

60 EXT. GAS STATION - SAME TIME 60

Fat Amy fills up the Bella’s van, while Lilly, Cynthia Rose,

and Beca keep warm inside.

FAT AMY:

Don’t you flat butts worry. I got

this. My thighs are like Gore-Tex.

We INTERCUT with The Treble’s bus cruising toward the gas

station. Bumper sees Fat Amy at the pump.

BUMPER:

Slow down, Donald.

Bumper lowers his window and sticks his body halfway out. He

holds a wrapped burrito in his hand.

LILLY:

(inside the van)

Hey, isn’t that?--

BUMPER:

Sabotage!

Bumper WHIPS the burrito at Fat Amy. It PEGS her, hard. Fat

Amy FALLS up against the van and SLIDES down its side. She

GRABS at her stomach.

FAT AMY:

I’ve been shot! I think I’ve been

shot!

The ladies JUMP out of the van to tend to Fat Amy. The guys

react, “Aw, sh*t!” Beca turns to find Cynthia Rose trying to

give Fat Amy mouth to mouth.

FAT AMY (CONT’D)

I’m sitting up! I’m talking! You

don’t need to do that!

Fat Amy looks down at the mess, smells it, then takes a bite.

FAT AMY (CONT’D)

Bumper threw a big ass burrito at

me! Ugh! I will kill him! I’ll

pick my teeth with his bones!

BECA:

Get up. We have to clean your

shirt and we don’t have much time.

Lilly puts the gas pump back. They barely put in six bucks.

64.

(CONTINUED)

FAT AMY:

Tell no one what you’ve seen today.

(takes another bite)

Damn. These are delicious.

61E INT. TREBLEMAKER BUS - SAME TIME 61E

THE GUYS APPLAUD BUMPER’S TAKE-DOWN.

BUMPER:

Oh! She went down like a Tri-Delt!

KOLIO:

(to Unicycle)

So Tri-Delts go down?

UNICYCLE:

Oh, I have no idea. They never talk

to me.

62 INT. VAN - LATER 62

The Bellas’s van drives down the highway, now with all the

ladies packed tightly inside. Fat Amy drives. Aubrey sits

shotgun, nervously playing with the pitch pipe. Beca,

sitting directly behind Fat Amy, notices a little guacamole

stuck in Fat Amy’s ear. Beca leans forward and wipes it off.

BECA:

You got yourself a little somethin’

somethin’ in there.

FAT AMY:

Back off. It fuels my hate fire.

Beca laughs, goes to put her headphones on, but stops short

to enjoy the ride. From the back of the van, Chloe, on

earbuds, sings Miley Cyrus’s, “Party In The USA.”

CHLOE:

... I HOPPED OFF THE PLANE AT LAX

WITH A DREAM AND MY CARDIGAN

65.

60 CONTINUED:

(CONTINUED)

Instinctively, Cynthia Rose joins her.

CHLOE/CYNTHIA ROSE

ALL EXCEPT BECA (CONT’D)

MY TUMMY’S TURNIN’ AND I’M FEELIN’

KINDA HOME SICK/TOO MUCH PRESSURE

TAXI MAN TURNED ON THE RADIO

The girls sing to Beca, nudging her to join.

ALL EXCEPT BECA (CONT’D)

AND A JAY-Z SONG WAS ON!

AND THE JAY-Z SONG WAS ON!

Beca can’t help but join in at the cheesy song. It’s just

one of those moments. All the girls sing together,

momentarily forgetting their problems.

BECA PLUS ALL:

SO I PUT MY HANDS UP/THEY’RE

PLAYING MY SONG/AND THE BUTTERFLYS

FLY AWAY/NODDIN’ MY HEAD LIKE, YEAH

MOVING MY HIPS LIKE, YEAH/AND I GOT

MY HANDS UP/THEY’RE PLAYING MY SONG

Suddenly, the van starts to putter.

AUBREY:

What the hell?

Fat Amy looks down at the fuel gauge.

66.

62 CONTINUED:
62

(CONTINUED)

FAT AMY:

Whoa. We’re almost out of gas?

AUBREY:

That can’t be right. You just

filled the tank.

FAT AMY:

Then the fuel indication meter must

definitely be broken.

(cackling nervously)

It’s suggesting I didn’t fill up

the tank because of Mexican food!

The van comes to a stop.

FAT AMY (CONT’D)

And... we’re out.

AUBREY:

You can’t be serious!

FAT AMY:

(more cackling)

Haaaaa, hee, oh woops! What are we

gonna do?

CHLOE:

You guys. We could call -

AUBREY:

Don’t even say it, Chloe! How dare

you!?

BECA:

Say what?

SMASH CUT TO:

67-68.

62 CONTINUED:

66 INT. TREBLEMAKER BUS - LATER 66

Everyone is silent. The Trebles sit on one side of the bus,

the Bellas on the other. Lilly sits behind Donald, leaning

in to him.

LILLY:

I set fires to feel joy.

DONALD:

(smiles, no idea)

That’s terrific.

CHLOE:

Thanks for stopping, Donald.

DONALD:

All good, boo. I’m The Driver.

Jesse motions to Beca to come sit next to him by patting his

seat. She shakes her head, no, and motions to her girls.

ANGLE ON:
Bumper in the back of the bus.

69.

(CONTINUED)

BUMPER:

So Bellas, glad we could chauffeur

you to your latest Treble-whipping.

What boring, estrogen-filled set

have you prepared for us today?

FAT AMY:

Hey. You’re nothing but Manwich in

a jacket. And I’m always hungry.

So shut. Your. Mouth.

BUMPER:

You’re a true woman of class and

grace. Gentleman, I believe we

were in the middle of our warm-up.

Bumper stands, blows the pitch pipe, and sings to Fat Amy...

BUMPER (CONT’D)

(in scales)

YOU CAN SUCK MY BALLS. [ALTS: Eat

My Nuts]

A beat. Fat Amy sings back to Bumper in scales.

FAT AMY:

YOU CAN LICK MY ASS. [ALT: Lick my

can/Spread my vegemite]
