From Dusk till Dawn Page #5

Synopsis: On the run from a bank robbery that left several police officers dead, Seth Gecko (George Clooney) and his paranoid, loose-cannon brother, Richard (Quentin Tarantino), hightail it to the Mexican border. Kidnapping preacher Jacob Fuller (Harvey Keitel) and his kids, the criminals sneak across the border in the family's RV and hole up in a topless bar. Unfortunately, the bar also happens to be home base for a gang of vampires, and the brothers and their hostages have to fight their way out.

The two girls have run out screaming.

SETH:

(yelling)

Richie? You okay?

RICHARD:

(yelling)

I'm not dead, but I'm definitely

shot! I told you that bastard said,

"Help us!"

PETE:

(yelling)

I never said help us!

SETH:

(yelling)

Well that don't matter now, 'cause

you got about two f***in' seconds to

live! Richie!

RICHARD:

(yelling)

Yeah?

SETH:

(yelling)

When I count three, shoot out the

bottles behind him!

RICHARD:

Gotcha!

SETH:

One... Two... Three.

The two brothers start FIRING toward the counter.

They HIT the bottles of alcohol on the shelf behind Pete.

Pete is crouched on the ground as glass, debris and alcohol

RAIN down on him.

Seth grabs a roll of paper towels from off a shelf.

Richard keeps FIRING.

Seth douses the paper towels with lighter fluid, sets it on

fire with his Zippo, then tosses it.

The flaming roll of paper towels FLIES through the air.

The fireball lands behind the counter.

The entire counter area immediately BURSTS INTO FLAMES. Pete

screams from behind the counter.

Seth smiles to himself and stands.

Richard shakes his head in amusement and stands.

Pete runs out from behind the counter, ENGULFED IN FLAMES

still holding his weapon and FIRING.

Seth and Richard hit the ground FIRING their .45's.

Pete, the human torch, FALLS like a tree into the Hostess

Pastry display.

Seth and Richard rise from the rubble.

EXT. BENNY'S WORLD OF LIQUOR - DAY

They exit the store squabbling. The store is bursting into

flames.

SETH:

What did I tell you? What did I tell

you? Buy the road map and leave.
