SCENE SIXTY FIVE
INT. CAR - CONTINUOUS
JAMON is gripping the steering wheel tightly. In the back, VEGAS whispers to KYLE:
VEGAS:
Who was that? What
Happened?
KYLE:
(grimaces) Knox Dustin
Was a senior when I came.
He was already into that
Stuff when I met him.
Apparently, Knox did
Jamon a favor and vice
Versa. Somehow, they're
Both in debt to each other.
JAMON:
I hate that-
EVA puts a hand on his arm.
EVA:
Jamon, breathe.
JAMON takes a breath.
JAMON:
Fine. I told him to
Get off that stuff ages
Ago, but he never does.
He's going to kill himself.
VEGAS' fist tightens.
JAMON:
Sorry, Vegas, I didn't mean it
That way, but still. He- he was
The only one that helped me at Devon.
They are silent going down a long stretch of road.
JAMON:
Where are we going, Eva?
EVA:
Aspen, Colorado. 17 hours.
KYLE'S stomach growls.
KYLE:
You know, maybe we should
Stop for food.
JAMON pulls over at a seemingly abandoned gas station.
JAMON:
He left almost nothing
In the tank. You guys go
In and buy what you need.
SCENE SIXTY SIX
INT. STORE - DAY
It is a dingy convenience store. VEGAS and KYLE look nervously at the cashier with a watchful eye. They grab a few things from the shelf and take it to the counter. CUT TO: EVA looking worriedly at JAMON from the car window. CUT TO: VEGAS and KYLE walking outside the back of the store. VEGAS stops KYLE.
VEGAS:
I just realized something.
KYLE:
What is it?
VEGAS:
We never broke up.
KYLE:
Wow, that seems like
So long ago...
VEGAS:
(coy) So, I guess we're
Still dating.
KYLE:
Yeah, I guess we are-
He is cut off as VEGAS kisses him. He slowly raises his hand to her shoulder. The pull away slowly. Before they could say anything,
JAMON:
Vega, Kyle, where are
You guys?
VEGAS:
(breathlessly) Coming!
ZOOM IN: on VEGAS and KYLE'S hands intertwining. CUT TO: As KYLE and VEGAS get in the car, JAMON notices them holding hands.
JAMON:
It's about time!
VEGAS:
(blushes) What?
JAMON:
(cheekily) Don't you lie
To me. I've seen you making
Goo-goo eyes at each other
Since that party.
KYLE:
Have not.
JAMON:
Have too! You guys
Should have seen yourselves,
Right Eva?
EVA:
(smiles) I mean...
VEGAS:
(playfully) Siding with
Jamon again! If I didn't
Know better, I'd say you
Liked him too.
EVA stutters.
VEGAS:
So you do!
EVA:
(ignoring her) What
Did you guys get from
The store?
VEGAS:
Black liquorice, pretzels,
Some chips. (hands EVA the
bag)
EVA:
Some chips? There are
About twelve bags in here!
And they're all different!
VEGAS:
I figured, since we're on the
Road for what is it... 16 more
Hours, we needed more than
Liquorice to snack on.
EVA:
Well, I'm starved.
EVA digs into a bag of chips and the others do as well.
