The Lucky Man Page #2

Synopsis: Traveling Route 66, a charismatic preacher, Reverend Johnny Jones, and his seductively beautiful Latina girlfriend, Rebecca, find their lives spiraling out of control as they travel from small town to small town; running their scam on the churches they encounter along the mother road. He's able to convince people he has the power to heal their illnesses and solve their most dreadful life experiences. But what the couple think is their scam begs the question does he really have the power? It's a question that haunts him and only intensifies his inner demons. Scarred for life, his childhood abuse from his evil father won't soon go away. He finds temporary refuge at the bottom of each bottle of tequila and endless grams of cocaine that goes up his nose. His childhood demons will not subside, neither will his vices. In the end, his powers serve as a blessing and a curse. Hang on tight while we follow this perilous couple's journey into the abyss of miracles and tragedy.

piata with a baseball bat?

All the little kids got candy,

he got a boot in the ass from

your daddy.

Ay, Teo Chewy.

He was my favorite.

He loved us kids. After my

father was killed, he looked

after me and my mom.

I will always love him for that.

Yeah, he was a good guy.

He lost his wife pretty early in

life and, and just... that drove

him to being a borracho.

(drunk)

Yeah, I get it.

I mean if I ever lost you I'd...

go crazy... just kill me.

I love you, mi amor.

I love you too.

ON THE TELEPHONE

[ENGINE REVVING]

MOTEL MAN:

Ah, sh*t. No f***in' way.

All right, I'll be right back.

Good evening, my son. Your

vacancy sign is lit up brighter

than a Las Vegas Casino.

Good evening Father,

I can call you Father? Right?

I ain't a father in

the biological or the

Catholic sense,

but you call me pastor,

reverend... just don't call me a

son-of-a-b*tch is all...

the wife and I need

a room for the night.

Oh, sure.

How much is that gonna cost me?

Just so happens that we

have our best room available.

And you know

what, just for you...

I can do a special discount

of thirty nine a night.

There's fifty and keep the

change. Why don't you keep the

T&A off your mind

while you are at work son.

I could see what you were doin'.

Don't you know that Internet

porno sh*t will rot your brain?

Keep it clean.

Might need a wake up call in

the morning, I'll let ya know.

Sure Father, uh,

Reverend. Room One.

Uh, Father... I was

wondering if you could help me

with something?

Sure my son,

what can I do for ya?

Look I... I know this is gonna

be strange coming from a guy you

just met at a motel. But you

know me and my, my old lady

we've been... we've been

fighting a lot lately.

I... If sh*t doesn't change,

I... I'm gonna lose her...

she's... she's gonna leave me.

Could you... pray for us?

You know do like whatever you

spiritual people do? Only if you

want to, Father. You know

what, I'm sorry, I'm way out of

line... I shouldn't have

said anything...

Give me your hand and bow

your head kid. C'mon... uhhhh,

other hand.

Father Almighty, come to

this young man in his hour of

despair, heal him and his lady.

Teach them the wisdom to act

together. Bestow upon them the

power of compromise and...

In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

If you need anything at all...

anything, just... just dial zero.

Go in faith son.... Go in faith.

What was

that about? I saw you in there

praying with that guy. Let

me guess, money problems?

Pobrecito. I wish we were rich

and we could help everybody.

Yeah,

it's just some a... poor soul

having trouble with his

girlfriend, asked for a little

help from above. And we are

rich. Alright, just keep saying

that. Speak words into existence

and one day it'll be true.

Just watch and see,

just watch and see.

- We are rich.

- We are rich.

[TELEVISION SOUNDS]

[LAUGHING EFFECT]

God damn

baby can ya please just bring it

down a notch? I'm trying work

on my sermon. I need to

focus on this sh*t, please.

Shut the

hell up Johnny. You never let me

have any fun.

What's up your ass any way?

You ever get the feeling that

God's giving me a purpose?

Maybe God gave me a gift. That

woman... in the chair, she got

up and walked after I touched

her. I always think they're

bullshittin' but, maybe they

were all healed. I mean maybe

God gave me... a gift. When I

was a little kid I used to think

I could heal animals. Maybe even

raise the dead. Becca I really

think God's given me the power.

You know what I think? I think

you put too much of that sh*t up

your nose.

Yeah but sometimes it

seems like I will live forever

and sometimes it feels like

death is right around the corner

just waitin' to jump on me.

I'll never see it comin'. But I

do believe in life after death.

...Maybe you're right, maybe I'm

just going nuts but, am I crazy

for believing these things? Only

God knows the truth. It's not

like I'm first guy to ever

get the power, ya know...

Look at me

Johnny... I don't just want a

boyfriend. I want a husband. I

want a family. Whether you are

touched by an angel

or just an evangelist.

It doesn't matter to me.

I want to settle down. I'm

tired of this life on the road,

Johnny.

I know, baby.

In time. Princess, I promise.

It's all in good time.
