INT. ROVER
LUCY ANDERSON drives, late thirties, sexy, warm, comfortable with herself, a bit of a free spirit.
SAM, 11, a victim of too many afternoons in shopping malls watching Bratpack movies, sits next to her in his trendy duds, suffering the foreign coastline with his large Malamute dog Nano ok.
MICHAEL, in his late teens, slumps in the back seat. He is a loner, an independent and not enjoying the ride.
"We're getting close..." Lucy says
"What's that smell?" Sam asks
Lucy fills her lungs, "Ocean air!"
"Smells like something died." Sam remarked
"Guys, I know it hasn't been easy... the divorce and now the move... but I think you're really going to like living in Santa Carla..." She says, No reply. Her sons look unconvinced, "How 'bout some music."
She turns on the radio to Country And Western, "Keep going." Sam requests
She next finds an Easy Listening station, "Keep going." Michael requests
She next finds Donovan singing "Mellow Yellow.", "Keep going." Both say in unison
Lucy speaks laughing, "Wait. Haight-Ashbury! The summer of love! 'Mellow Yellow.'"
"Keep going!" The boys shout in unison
They all laugh as Lucy turns the dial to a CURRENT ROCK HIT and the boys relax. THEIR POV - LARGE BILLBOARD Showing Boardwalk, Pier, etc. Reads: "Welcome to Santa Carla."
As they pass, only Michael notices what has been spray painted on the back of the sign: "MURDER CAPITAL OF THE WORLD."

In the center of the action. Lucy pumps gas into the Rover as Sam runs up to her, "Mom, there's an amusement park right on the beach!" Sam says
"That's the boardwalk, Sam." Lucy says
🫥
"Can we go now, huh?" Sam asks
"Maybe later. Grandpa's expecting us." Lucy responds, Lucy is disturbed as she notices Two Runaway Teenagers Rummaging through a nearby garbage bin for something to eat.
She and Sam are distracted however as they see Michael rolling his Honda Motor Bike from out of the U-Haul.
"I need to stretch my legs. I'll follow you." Michael says
The Attendant gives Lucy five dollars in change. She hands it to Sam, indicating the Two Runaways., "Tell them to get something to eat." Lucy requests
"I thought we were poor." Sam responds
"Not that poor." She adds
Sam runs off as Michael starts his prize possession, "Still mad at me?" Lucy asks
"For what." Michael asks
"For everything." Lucy reiterates, Michael can't deal with this and just roars his engine, "If you want to check it out and meet us later it's okay."
