Bottle Rocket Page #5

DIGNAN:

You're paranoid, Bob.

BOB:

Yeah, but don't tell anybody.

ANTHONY:

Could you grow cinnamon?

BOB:

I don't know. Sure, I guess.

ANTHONY:

You could make your own cinnamon

toast.

Bob looks at Anthony for a second. He looks at Dignan. Back

at Anthony.

BOB:

Are you a fag?

LITTLE RICHARD:

You're the f*ggot.

Bob turns around to see LITTLE RICHARD, short but muscular,

wearing a down vest and a baseball cap.

BOB:

Little Richard. I don't believe it.

They'll let anybody in this place.

Sit down.

Little Richard sits down.

BOB:

Dignan and Anthony, this is Little

Richard. He's crazy. Totally nuts.

LITTLE RICHARD:

(smiling)

I don't know about that.

BOB:

Little Richard. Trust me. You're

insane. Jesus, this guy used to

carry a percussion bomb around in

his trunk. You do not want a guy

like that loose on the streets.

LITTLE RICHARD:

It seemed like a good idea at the

time.

BOB:

The one and only Little Richard.

DIGNAN:

Are you named after THE Little

Richard?

LITTLE RICHARD:

(stares at Dignan)

Ha! Ha! Ha! Why don't you stick it

up your ass. Great group of guys

you're hanging out with.

Little Richard goes out the door.

DIGNAN:

What was that all about?

BOB:

I can't believe you said that.

DIGNAN:

What did I say?

BOB:

I told you he's crazy.

ANTHONY:

But he didn't say anything.

DIGNAN:

Hang on a second.

Dignan gets up and walks out of the restaurant. Anthony and

Bob look at each other. They start to get up.

EXT. HAMBURGER PLACE. NIGHT

Anthony and Bob go out the door. Dignan is walking over to a

station wagon. Little Richard is getting in.

DIGNAN:

Little Richard. Wait a second. Hang

on. I didn't mean to --

Little Richard opens his door hard into Dignan's legs, then

gets out fast and takes off his shirt. Dignan tries to hit

him but doesn't connect. They grab onto each other and start

knocking around. Another GUY gets out of the station wagon.

Two more GUYS rush out the door of the burger place. Anthony

and Bob stand back, nervous.
