The Salton Sea Page #4

Jimmy and Danny slip on sunglasses and brave the light.

DANNY:

Where to?

JIMMY:

I know a guy.

DANNY:

Lead the way.

They slink along like two albino rat vampires with sunglasses.

JIMMY:

Nice day

DANNY:

I hadn't noticed.

(beat)

I've seen you around. What's your name?

JIMMY:

Jimmy. Everyone calls me Jimmy the Finn.

DANNY:

Why's that?

JIMMY:

My features. They're Finnish.

DANNY:

You don't say.

JIMMY:

Finland is a country.

DANNY:

Well, Jimmy the Finn, let's go score some gack.

INT. CHEAP MOTEL ROOM - DAY

Danny and Jimmy standing there looking at something OFF SCREEN. Danny

and Jimmy looking at one another, then back at what they were looking

at.

A GUY sitting on the bed in his underwear, looking down at his left arm

and holding a can of BUG SPRAY at the ready in his right hand.

He is completely motionless, studying his arm with hypnotic intensity.

JIMMY:

Bobby?

BOBBY:

Shhh.

Bobby never takes his eyes off his arm.

BOBBY (cont'd)

(whispering)

They're coming.

JIMMY:

(likewise whispering)

What?

BOBBY:

The spiders.

Bobby readies the can of bug spray, his eyes widening.

BOBBY (cont'd)

(sing-song)

I'm ready for you this time.

Bobby lets loose with the spray, dousing his arm.

BOBBY:

Aha! Yeah!

(super rapid-fire)

You thought you could f*** with

Bobby, you thought you could f***

with Bobby, you thought you could

f*** with Bobby!

Bobby's mouth wide with stupid joy and continues to cloud the air with

bug spray.

BOBBY (cont'd)

With Bobby you thought you could f***?

Danny and Jimmy wait silently. Bobby finally stops spraying, satisfied

he has killed the imaginary spiders.
