FRANKIE:
Well, if it ain't Duff!
JOCKO:
How you doin'?
(to Josie; with
a bit of a leer)
Hi there!
JOSIE:
Hi.
JOCKO:
Mind if we sit down?
DUFF:
We was just leavin', fellows.
FRANKIE:
Let's go, Jocko. The man's got homework.
JOCKO:
(leaving)
See you, Duff.
DUFF:
Yeah, see you in hell.
Frankie follows Jocko out of the frame.
JOSIE:
They must work on the section gang.
DUFF:
That's right.
JOSIE:
Well, they seem just like everyone else.
DUFF:
Hell, baby, I bet you think we got tails.
FRANKIE'S VOICE
(off-screen)
We do!
Frankie and Jocko have occupied the adjoining table and are grinning at them.
Duff gets up, camouflaging his irritation.
DUFF:
Come on, baby.
He ushers Josie out. Frankie looks after them.
FRANKIE:
School teacher! My nappy head!
INT. RIDDICK'S OLD CONVERTIBLE (Night)
Duff has parked on a country road.
JOSIE:
I guess it's hard working on the road like that.
DUFF:
Damn few places you can make eighty bucks a
week.
JOSIE:
I mean, you're kind of cut off, aren't you?
DUFF:
That's fine with me. Keeps me out of trouble.
JOSIE:
How d'you mean?
DUFF:
Well, I don't get on so well most places.
JOSIE:
I see. That beer made me dizzy.
Duff is looking at her.
DUFF:
You got a lovely face, kid. Ain't too often I
get to meet a girl like you. Hell--
He kisses her, but releases her very quickly.
DUFF:
Baby, how many times' you been kissed?
Josie takes a moment to collect herself.
JOSIE:
Well, let's see now - not counting tonight ...
must be about twenty-eight times.
DUFF:
(with a grin)
You got a problem all right.
Someone moves in back of her. A white man in his early twenties has emerged
from the dark and looks down at them.
WHITE:
(with a smile)
Hi.
The voice of a second white man calls from off screen.
SECOND WHITE:
They doin' anything?
WHITE:
(calling back)
Nah, nothin'!
DUFF:
Get out of here!
JOSIE:
(frightened)
Don't Duff--
WHITE:
Relax, man!
The second white man joins him.
SECOND WHITE:
What's goin' on?
He shines his flashlight into Duff's face.
DUFF:
Cut that out!
The white man shines the flashlight across Josie's breast.
DUFF:
(very tense)
I said:
Cut it out!WHITE:
Don't start no trouble, boy!
SECOND WHITE:
Let's go! That's the preacher's girl. Mess with
him and you got old man Johnson on your back.
Come on.
The white men leave.
JOSIE:
Let's go, Duff.
DUFF:
Take it easy.
We see that he has a knife in his hand. He closes and pockets it.
The white men drive off, whooping and beating on the side of their car.
DUFF:
Don't sound human, do they?
Duff is driving through the center of town.
DUFF:
How come you stay 'round here?
