INT. KEVIN'S CAR - THEATRE PARKING LOT - NIGHT
Smoke fills the car. Kevin hands James a blunt, who takes a hit. Then... POP. A lemon of a car SPEEDS past them on an empty road.
JAMES - I need to get the fuck out of here.
Kevin scoffs -- you can say that again.
JAMES - It's just -- it's like I know I need to be in LA, and not this hellhole.
(reconsidering)
I dunno. I guess I just know there's more than this.
KEVIN - Of course there is. But the grass isn't always greener.
JAMES - You had shit luck. We both know you could've made it.
Kevin takes the blunt, followed by a long inhaled.
KEVIN - But that's my point. Fuck me and my failure. I'm just saying overall, LA's a different monster.
(and)
Everyone's someone out there. But no one will admit they're just as scared as the next person.
JAMES - I know.
KEVIN - Do you though?
JAMES - Well, yeah. I just wanna give it a try. I owe it to myself.
KEVIN - Of course you do.
(and)
All I'm saying, just give yourself a timeline. If nothing pans out after a few months, years, whatever... Come back and try it again.
James takes the blunt. He ponders out the window.
KEVIN - Some people get trapped out there.
