Burt whirls on him, enraged.
BURT:
What the hell is that supposed to
mean?!
CAMERON:
(confused)
No offense...thought you might...
BURT:
Every one of you jerks is a goddamn
hotshot expert! Thanks for the vote
of confidence. If you think you can
do any better, just come and try it!
He puts his boot in Cameron's stomach and shoves hard.

EXT. CAR
Cameron comes flying out and lands on his back in the road as the
Duesenberg squeals forward, its open door slamming shut from the
momentum.
Stunned, the wind knocked out of him, Cameron rises to his elbows.
Before the old relic has gone thirty yards, again the brakes
screech, swinging the car into a sliding salute turn, one hundred-
eighty degrees and it is suddenly screaming back toward Cameron.

Driving with one hand on the door handle, his head halfway out the
window watching the bridge railing and the water beyond.

ANGLE ON ROAD - CAR AND CAMERON
Cameron, sprawled on the road, is momentarily paralyzed at the sight
of the Duesenberg's great brass grill bearing down. His hand closes
over a rock and with the same illogical gesture that a soldier
flings a Coke bottle at a tank, Cameron hurls the rock in the
direction of the car and frantically rolls sideways. The big
spinning tires brush him as they pass. We catch a momentary glimpse
of the rock smashing against the gleam of the passing windshield.
As he stops rolling, once more face down in the dust, eyes closed,
expecting death, he becomes aware there is only silence. He opens
his eyes, climbs to his feet. The road is empty. The Duesenberg is
gone. Astonished, confused -- he walks to the side of the bridge
where the railing ends and the car might have plunged off. There is
nothing below but the rushing black water. Here and there bubbles
swirl to the surface. They could be from a sinking car or could be
caused by the current.
ANGLE ON CAMERON
His thoughts racing. Was it the sun, has he imagined the whole
thing? Suddenly a HELICOPTER appears, hovering, almost at eye
level. Sunlight flashes through the spinning blades like a strobe.
WIDER ANGLE:
It is the same helicopter we saw in the opening sequence. It has
swiftly descended beside the bridge just beyond the railing,
catching Cameron with no chance to run or hide. FOUR MEN Can be
seen inside the plastic cockpit barely a few feet away. The man
beside the PILOT is ELI CROSS. He grabs the radio microphone and
begins speaking into it. Cameron whirls, scrambles down a bank to a
field. The helicopter drops to within a few feet of the water,
hovers. Protected from sight, Cameron runs between the tall stalks,
away from the road.
