Wild Hogs Page #31

Synopsis: Tired of their humdrum lives, some middle-aged friends (Tim Allen, John Travolta, Martin Lawrence) decide to temporarily ditch their responsibilities and take a motorcycle trip.

BUCK:

What'd you just call me?

EARL:

(CAUGHT)

Um...

BUCK:

It's just a little scar! I'm still

better looking than you!

Buck goes to storm off, but after a few steps, tilts left

and falls over.

BUCK (CONT'D)

(FROM GROUND)

Dammit!

Doug shakes his head, then turns to Woody and Bob.

DOUG:

(to Woody and Bob)

You guys ready to head back?

"Wild Hogs" writers first draft 7/06/05 117.

Woody takes a deep breath and shakes his head.

WOODY:

You know what? I think I'm going to

press on. Keep heading West.

DOUG:

You are?

WOODY:

Yeah. Why not? I feel good about my

life again. And I'd like to see what San

Francisco's all about.

Doug nods and looks to Bob. You can tell he wants to go.

BOB:

I'm in, too! Let's ride to San--

Suddenly, a mini-van pulls up. KAREN and KELLY hop out.

BOB / DOUG

Karen? / Kelly?

KAREN:

(TO BOB)

I told you I was coming, Bob!

KELLY:

(TO DOUG)

Hey, honey.

Kelly kisses Doug. He smiles, glad to see her.

DOUG:

Hey, baby. What are you doing here?

KELLY:

Karen said you guys were in trouble. I

kept calling your cell, but somebody

programmed it to not receive calls from

our house.

Doug shoots Woody a look.

WOODY:

(CAUGHT)

Excuse me.

Woody hurries over to his bike. KAREN turns to BOB.

KAREN:

Well, I hope you guys had a nice trip.

Now get in the van. We're going home.

BOB:

Um... Actually, we just decided we were

going to keep pressing West for a few--

KAREN:

Oh, no. No way! I came all the way out

here, rented a car, drove to this podunk

LITTLE TOWN--

As Karen is saying this, Bob looks over at the guys, then

back to Karen. He can't take it anymore.

BOB:

--Karen!

Karen stops talking, shocked by Bob raising his voice.

BOB (CONT'D)

Listen to me. This is My vacation and if

I want to ride on with my friends, well

that's what I'm going to do! And if you

have a problem with that, well... Tough

sh*t!

There's a moment of silence as Karen absorbs this. The

guys all look at Bob proudly. After a few seconds,

Karen's face softens.

KAREN:

(SUDDENLY MEEK)

Okay. Sorry... Just... be careful.

Karen shyly kisses Bob on the cheek. Bob can't believe

it.

BOB:

I will. And... I love you.

Bob smiles at her and gets on his bike.

ANGLE ON:
DOUG and KELLY. Kelly looks at Doug.

KELLY:

So are you going, too?

DOUG:

I hadn't really decided. I have been

having a good time, though.

DOUG (CONT'D)

(SMILES)

I even got beaten up.

Doug winks cockily. Kelly lights up.

KELLY:

There he is! I saw old Doug!

Doug blushes.

DOUG:

You'll see him even more if you and Billy

meet me in San Francisco. We've got a

suite at the Ritz-Carlton.

Doug smiles and gets onto his motorcycle. Kelly looks

concerned.

KELLY:

What about work? And Billy's school?

Doug shrugs like he hasn't a care in the world.

DOUG:

Ahh. We can risk it.

Kelly smiles and kisses him proudly. Doug grabs her face

and kisses her back... Then, turns to Woody and Bob.

DOUG (CONT'D)

We ready?

WOODY:

I think so. Dudley? What do you think?

The camera PULLS OUT to reveal DUDLEY, sitting on his

motorcycle. Next to him, is MAGGIE, sitting in the rusty

sidecar now attached to Dudley's bike. She's wearing

Dudley's goggles and nods to him encouragingly. Dudley

looks back over to Doug, Bob and Woody.

DUDLEY:

Let's ride.

They start their motorcycles. The engines roar to life.

DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. HIGHWAY U.S. 50 - LATER THAT DAY

The four motorcycles (and one sidecar) cruise down the

open highway. The guys smile as the wind blows in their

faces.

"Wild Hogs" writers first draft 7/06/05 120.

It's freedom, joy and friendship all wrapped up in one

expression. The camera PANS AROUND THEM, and finally

ZOOMS IN ON DOUG. We see his eyes sparkle a little bit,

and he opens his mouth:

DOUG:

(SINGING)

I walk these streets, a loaded six string

on my back.

I play for keeps, 'cause I might not make

it back...

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride!

I'm wanted...

The other guys smile and join in:

DOUG/BOB/WOODY/DUDLEY

Dead or alive!

They all look at each other as they continue to sing over

the roar of the engines:

DOUG/BOB/WOODY/DUDLEY (CONT'D)

Ohh, I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my

side!

I'M WANTED--

DOUG:

Wante-ee--ed!
