V.O(Lily):
"We're the Pogues, and our mission this summer is to have a good time all the time."
End of V.O:
John B stands with his heel over the edge of a balcony without a railing. Behind him, there is coastline, moonlight. He's holding a beer can, and wearing a T-shirt that reads BAD BRAINS. A neck gaiter around his head gives him a surfey, Unabomber vibes.
"It won't work if you don't apply yourself." John B says waving his arms in sync trying to gain balance. "It's like they all went to the same pep talk training camp."
"If you fall, you have twelve and a half procent chance of living." Pope says calculating something in his mind.
"Then I won't fall. And I'm applying myself, just not the way they want."
"Oh my god, they're going to have Japanese toilets with towel warmers. Towel warmers. Ridiculous." Kiara says annoyed coming out from inside.
"It's gotta be worth something, right?"Lily says giving Kiara a concerned look.
"Don't spill that beer bro. I'm not giving you another one." JJ says pointing at John B's can that was in his hand.
"Unfortunately, gentleman, and ladies, our time in veranda is ending." Pope says excitedly.
John B turns to see a golf cart pulling onto the yard.
"They are early tonight." John B says, tossing his can over his shoulder.
The five friends clatter down the stairs, giving hoots and cries that echo in the concrete chamber. They burst out of the mansion, run past an empty pool and jacuzzi. Two cops are chasing them, darting flashlights.
They love this, it's the part of the game.John B, Lily and Kiara run fast and behind are following JJ and Pope, they run on a sandy path through dunes, cut through a hedge, and jump into John B's and Lily's beige VW Van which is called The Twinkie.
The Twinkie screeches onto the main road. One of the cops crosses the lawn at an angle, trying to cut them off.
"Look at this guy-gunning for a raise." Pope says, laughing at the cop.
"That sort of initiative is just begging to be punished. Slow down." JJ adds to Pope's comments.
John B slows down. And the cop almost catches them.
"Oh, come on guys. You'll give him a heart attack." Lily says, worryingly to JJ.
"They don't pay you enough-" JJ says shouting at the cop.
"You little pricks." The cop says, slowing down.
JJ tosses an empty beer can. The cop dodges while the van is speeding away. The van then passes a sign saying:
Welcome to the Outer Banks!V.O(Lily):
"Outer banks. Paradise on earth."
The twinkie passes Mansions and giant Estates.
"If you can afford it. It's the sort of place where you either have two jobs or two houses. Two tribes one island."
As they pass, there is another even larger estate.
"This is Figure Eight. The rich side of the Island. Home of the Kooks."
