A
single recent model car parked in front.
A
second beat-up car pulls up.
INT.
BEAT-UP CAR – NIGHT
JOEY,
20s, behind the wheel, leaves the engine running. Beside him is SCOTTY, 20s.
JOEY
You ready?
SCOTTY
Oh yeah.
Joey
reaches in front of Scotty to open the glove compartment.
JOEY
There it is.
Joey
reaches in and takes out a small pistol.
JOEY
Alright. Lets go.
He
starts to open the door.
SCOTTY
Hey! I thought we agreed that I got to hold
the gun!
Joey
sighs.
JOEY
Jesus, Scott, do we have to go through this
again?
SCOTTY
Yes! Yes, I think we do.
Joey
closes the door.
JOEY
Now Scott, you know I perform
better under
pressure.
You still having panic attacks?
SCOTTY
Well, yeah… But I’m cool now man,
it’s
just a convenience
store, we’ve been planning this for weeks!
Gimme the gun!
JOEY
Hell no, I get the gun, end of
discussion. Mask on … Let’s bust this
joint!
Joey
cocks the gun dramatically.
SCOTTY
Take you long to think that one up? “This isn’t an Action-comedy … this is a
robbery!” Now that’s how you
deliver an awesome one-liner.
Before
Joey can respond, Scotty opens the door to get out.
Suddenly
both doors of the recent model car parked next to them swing open.
TWO
MASKED MEN with guns run out and into the store.
Scotty
quickly closes the door.
JOEY
FUCK!
Damn it, dude! Did you see that
shit?! What are the odds?!
A silence.
SCOTTY
Well, shit … You wanna try another one?
JOEY
No, man!
Frankly I’m just too damn depressed now.
Fuck it, let’s just go home.
Joey
starts the car.

The
car screeches away out of the parking lot and disappears up the street.
