LOGAN'S LIMO -- OKLAHOMA CITY -- NIGHT 

Laura awakes on the leatherette bench and looks up to Charles, sleeping soundly, and (Y/N) awake holding her hand while, looking outside. Colored lightpasses over his face. She turns to see lights playing outside her window. She sits up to face-- 

THE SPECTACLE OF A MODERN GAMBLING STRIP. Dancing lights and thematic facades throb like fireworks. A car passes, blasting thumping hip hop. 

Charles blinks awake. We see in his eyes a quiet panic as he looks out at his surroundings and, for a moment, seems to have no idea how he got here nor who these people are. 

Laura meets his eyes. It starts to come back to him. He looks out the window as they pull into a Casino parking area.

CHARLES: ...Is this where we're hiding out? 

LOGAN: We're not hiding out. We're gonna get a couple hours sleep, clean up,get new clothes, ditch the limo,get a new ride and get the fuckout. 

OKLAHOMA CITY CASINO/HOTEL - VALET - NIGHT 

Logan pulls to a stop a valet who eagerly approaches until he sees the thrashed condition of their ride and its frazzled passengers. Logan hands him cash.

LOGAN: Keep it out front.  

Laura steps out, clinging to her horse and (Y/N). Dazzled by the throbbing lights and sexy throbbing musak. 

OKLAHOMA CITY CASINO/HOTEL - LOBBY - NIGHT

Weary, Logan holds an electronic key in his hand as thethreesome moves past slots and gambling tables still operating in the middle of the night. Laura is overwhelmed by noise, lights and activity. She jumps WHEN A LOUD BELL RING as someone wins a jackpot. Charles puts a hand on her. 

Logan hits the UP button of the elevator and, as they waitfor the doors to open, they all looks at-- 

A DISPLAY FOR A CASINO CLOTHING STORE. A male mannequin inhandsome western wear stands beside a shapely Cowgirl and a little kid mannequin in a unicorn tee/skirt and studded denim jacket. Charles eyes a suit and hat on a mannequin in an easychair with a pipe.  

Bing! -- the elevator doors open.

OKLAHOMA CITY CASINO/HOTEL - ELEVATOR - NIGHT

They enter, Logan pushing Charles who carries shopping bags in his lap and tries on a new hat, tag attached. As the doors close, Logan presses their floor, the button lights and Laura Starts to press other floors. Logan swats her hand.

Meanwhile, Charles digs in the bag, offers Logan a new baseball hat with a tag on it, tissue paper falling.

LOGAN: Please wait till we're in the room.

The doors suddenly re-open and there are A COUPLE (dressed nicely) and awkwardness as Logan hits the door close button. 

LOGAN: Sorry. Going up.

Laura starts hitting other buttons again. He swats her again. 

OKLAHOMA CITY CASINO/HOTEL - SUITE - DAWN 

Oklahoma City lies beyond the big windows, morning light filling this well appointed suite. We see the remains of a room service breakfast. Clothing wrappers and boxes are scattered about. In a robe, Laura helps Charles finishdonning his new outfit. Suddenly, there are gunshots from the TV. Laura turns.

ON SCREEN -- A shootout in a 50's technicolor Western.Elisha Cook Jr is gunned down in the mud by Jack Palance. 

CHARLES: This film is a classic, kids. Almost a hundred years old now. I First saw it at the Esoldo in Dewsbury when I was your age.
