(turns to her)

"Beating you", that's five to

five. That ties us up.

TRISH:

You can't call it now.

DARRY:

My ass...

TRISH:

You have to call it when you

see it!

DARRY:

I was in shock!

THE JANGLING BELLS OF A RAILROAD CROSSING AHEAD.

DARRY (cont’d)

You know I don't remember

there being so many rules to

this game.

Trish and Darry slowing as the bells ring and the bars lower.

DARRY (cont’d)

'Course when there was, you

were the one making 'em.

Little Miss Junior Nazi with

the Barbie Doll and the Easy

Bake Oven...

Darry looks down the tracks. Sees the small cargo train

approaching. Revs the engine.

TRISH:

Don't you dare.

(off his look)

My car.

Trish sniffs. Smells something. Looks in the backseat. The

big thing covered in a trash bag. She lifts the plastic: a

full laundry basket.

JEEPERS CREEPERS

TRISH (cont’d)

You are a class act, you know

that?

DARRY:

Hey you live off campus.

(she just stares at him)

You ever try and do laundry in

a dorm? What they don't steal

they dye pink for you. I've

got twelve pair of rosey-pink

jockey shorts.

TRISH:

Maybe they know something

about you, you don't.

She takes the Deodorizer hanging off the rearview mirror and

stuffs it in the bag.

TRISH (cont’d)

Hi mom, haven't seen you

forever, here's my dirty

shorts.

The train is upon them now. He shouts over the din.

DARRY:

Its for her, not me. I have to

bring home laundry. I don't,

she gets depressed. Like she

thinks I don't need her

anymore or something.

Trish's look says she isn't buying it. The SHORT TRAIN ROARS

PAST. Leaves the car waiting for bells to stop and the bars

to rise.

TRISH:

You talk to her lately?

DARRY:

To tell her I'd be home for

break.

TRISH:

She sound like anything was

going on?

Darry throws her a look.

TRISH:

(impatient)

Did you listen to her voice?

JEEPERS CREEPERS

DARRY:

Specify please.

TRISH:

I think maybe something's

wrong.

(off his look)

I don't think they're telling

us.

(off his continued look)

Like you would notice anything

past the point of your own

selfish little existence.

The bars go up and the car flies over the tracks. Continues

its trek down the two-lane.

DARRY:

If mom and dad were gonna get

a divorce don't you think

they'd have done it by now?

TRISH:

No I think they would've

waited till we were both grown

and off at school.

DARRY:

Whatever.

TRISH:

She's not happy. Not even a

little bit. Not like she used

to be.

DARRY:

Who is?

(spots something)

Hey...

They are driving past an old abandoned church set back from

the road.
