EXT. COLLEGE PARKING LOT - DAY

It’s pouring down rain now.

Cars are pulling out.

INT. COLLEGE CAFATERIA - DAY

BRIT and CANDY are both eating Fruit Loops cereal straight

from the box and listening to headphones.

It’s rainy and getting dark outside.

They are bobbing their heads ever so slightly to the music.

14.

They are staring out at the other students leaving.

We move under the table and see a close up of their legs and

feet nervously bouncing up and down.

They are both wearing short shorts and flip flops.

INT. DORM ROOM HALLWAY - DAY

BRIT and CANDY quickly walk through the hallway.

We follow them closely from behind.

INT. COTTY’S ROOM - DAY

COTTY is sitting at her desk watching youtube clips of

teenagers getting into fist fights.

The footage is violent and looks as if it were taken with a

crappy camera phone.

The music playing over the clip sounds like LIMP BIZKIT.

WE GO INTO AN EXTREME CLOSE UP OF THE VIDEO FOOTAGE NOW.

IN THE VIDEO - AN ANGRY MOB OF TEENAGED THUGS ARE ALL CURSING

AND SCREAMING AT ONE OTHER. SOMEONE GETS THROWN AGAINST A

TRASH DUMPSTER. ALL THE KIDS LAUGH HYSTERICALLY.

We see a close up of COTTY’S face.

She is chewing gum frantically and smiling from ear to ear.

We see an extreme close up of her eyes.

The sound of the door knocking.

She turns the volume down on her computer and opens the door.

CANDY and BRIT are standing there.

They quickly look around to make sure know one is listening.

BRIT:

Can we use your car?

COTTY:

No, it’s in the shop.

BRIT:

F***!

15.

COTTY:

Why?

BRIT looks pissed off.

INT - DORM HALLWAY/IN FRONT OF COTTY’S DOOR - DAY

The conversation continues.

CANDY and BRIT seem anxious and excited.

They are still standing in COTTY’S doorway.

CANDY:

You know anyone else’s car we canget then?

COTTY:

No.

CANDY:

Come on, Cotty.

COTTY:

Everyone is pretty much gone.

BRIT:

F***!

Pause

COTTY:

I do know where Professor Stevens

hides his keys to that shitty assEl Camino.

BRIT and CANDY look at each other and smile.

COTTY gets a devious look on her face and smiles back at

them. She keeps smacking her chewing gum.

INT. COLLEGE LIBRARY - NIGHT

COTTY, BRIT, and CANDY are sitting together at a small tablein the back of a big library.

No one else is around and most of the lights in the room areoff.

CANDY is looking at the other girls and speaks in a powerfuland direct whisper.

16.

CANDY:

(whispering)

Just pretend it’s a f***in’ video

game. Act like your in a movie orsomethin’.

(she gives them a reallyhard look and then leans

in close)

You can’t be scared of nothin’.

Close up of CANDY’S face. Her eyes narrow.

EXT. QUIET COUNTRY ROAD - NIGHT

We see the yellow lines in the middle of the road swishing byat an insane speed.

We hear CANDY speaking over the image, the conversation istaken from the previous scene.

CANDY:

(off screen)

You gotta be hard...F*** that!

We hear the sound of the car’s engine roaring.

EXT. QUIET COUNTRY ROAD - NIGHT

We see trees whipping by.

They almost seem a complete blur.

CANDY:

(off screen)

Don’t be scared of sh*t.

The engine sound grows louder.

EXT. QUIET COUNTRY ROAD - NIGHT

We are in front of the El Camino now.

It’s speeding really fast.

CANDY:

(off screen)

Let’s just get that f***in cash andgo to spring break ya’ll.

It’s racing straight towards us now.

17.

EXT. QUIET COUNTRY ROAD - NIGHT

We are behind the car now as it races.

The wind is blowing and leaves and dirt are flying.

BRIT and CANDY are sitting in the back of the El Camino trunk

bed. Their hair is whipping in the wind.

I/E. CAR - NIGHT

COTTY is in the driver’s seat. Her face is flush with

excitement.

She’s leaning forward and gripping the steering wheel.

Both her windows are down. She’s chewing her gum.

Close up of the speedometer as it hits a hundred miles an

hour.

The radio is blasting a Christina Aguilara song.

Close up of her fingers on the steering wheel.

She is wearing a tiny pinky ring with a heart pendant on it.

I/E. CAR - NIGHT

We are riding in the open back of the trunk bed now.

BRIT and CANDY are both staring out into the darkness.

They disappear quickly in and out of the light from the

roadside lamps as the car speeds down the road.

CUT TO:

A Close up of CANDY’S face as her hair violently slapsaround.

CUT TO:

A Close up BRIT’S face as the wind whips her hair around.

CUT TO:

Two sledge hammers bouncing up and down on the floor of thetrunk bed.

CUT TO:

18.

A large pink duffle bag bouncing up on the floor of the trunkbed.

CUT TO:

CANDY’S orange flip flops flapping off the back of her heel.

CUT TO:

CANDY is gripping her plastic toy water gun.

CUT TO:

BRIT is gripping her plastic toy water gun.

The toy guns look real in the dark light.

I/E. FRONT SEAT/CAR - NIGHT

We are staring out the front of the window.

COTTY’S point of view.

We see COTTY’S hands on the wheel.

We see the lights from a fast food resteraunt coming towards

us.

COTTY leans down and grabs a bright neon pink ski mask from

the floor of the car.

She pulls it down over her head and face, lining up the

holes.

There is a small sparkly unicorn patch right above the eyes.

I/E. BACK OF THE CAR - NIGHT

What follows will be done in one single continuous shot.

The sound of the car horn.

CANDY and BRIT look straight ahead and see that they are

quickly approaching the fast food resteraunt.

They both reach down into the duffel bag and put on the same

identical pink ski masks with the unicorn patch.

The fast food resteraunt is on a dimly lit street in front of

a closed down strip mall area.

The car races across the road and flies into the parking lot.

19.

COTTY slams on the breaks and the car skids forward, nearly

smashing into the glass doors of the resteraunt.

CANDY kicks down the back door of the El Camino.

BRIT jumps out.

CANDY picks up a sledge hammer in one hand. She is holding

her plastic water gun in her other hand.

BRIT is holding her water gun.

She takes the pink duffel bag and tosses it over her

shoulder.

CANDY slams open the front door of the resteraunt.

CANDY:

Hands in the air, f***ers!!!

BRIT:

Nobody moves!! Down

f***ers...down!!!

There are TWO CHUBBY MEXICAN BOYS working behind the counter.

They both step back and put their hands way up in the air.

They seem in complete shock.

CANDY and BRIT’S shorts are so tiny, and their sweatshirts

are so baggy it almost seems like they aren't wearing pants.

A MIDDLE-AGED MAN is in the back preparing the food. He just

stands there frozen.

There is a VERY LARGE BLACK MAN sitting alone eating in the

corner.

CANDY runs up to the cash register and starts smashing it

with the sledgehammer.

She lets out a wild scream.

The energy is frantic. Both girls are completely charged.

They both seem transformed and in control, they seem natural
