Asthma Page #2

Synopsis: Our filthy hero Gus mutters to himself, just before stealing a white Rolls Royce. He happens upon Ruby, a stunning tattoo artist he's always had a thing for, and waves her into the convertible. The misfits escape the city and into nature, sharing a joint, wondering why things used to be so much cooler in the '70s. Asthma is a modern romance that explores addiction in a fresh and honest way. She warns him not to fall in love with her, but the higher you are the harder you fall.

Where are we going?

Oh, we're going to my friend

Logan's house.

Logan, Logan.

Do I know that guy?

Um, I don't know.

You might have met him.

He's a musician. He's Cool.

A little weird.

Of course, of course.

Yeah, you and your musicians.

I only play the kazoo, so..

- Well..

- I'm tattooing him.

Uh-oh. That's trouble.

Ah, it's this triangle

with all these treasures inside.

- Mm-hmm.

- So rad.

You're all about tattoos,

aren't you?

Yeah, it's my thing.

It's like your passion.

You're lucky you have a passion.

It's great you have a passion.

When are you gonna let me

do you?

No way, forever scares me

too much, you know?

Oh, God!

Typical male, commitment phobic.

Yeah, yeah.

Hey, you still with that guy?

What's his name?

- We broke up.

- Really?

I'm sorry to hear that.

Well, whatever. I'm not.

He was a dick.

All men are d*cks.

I'm gonna become a lesbian.

I'd like to see that.

Seriously, I'd like to. Yeah.

So Ruby is single.

Operation old maid

in full effect.

You know, I have to say

I'm a little upset

you didn't call to tell me.

Gus, we are friends, that's it.

Really?

Don't.. Stop!

F***!

- Are you okay?

- Yes, I'm fine! I'm annoyed.

Are you alright?

Are you gonna die?

- Okay.

- Are you gonna die?

Yeah, I'm fine. Ah!

F***, Gus!

Now what are we gonna do?

- Should we call a tow truck?

- You f***in' crazy?

We can't call in

a stolen car, it's a stolen car!

Did you not f***in' hear me?

You can't call in a stolen car!

I'm calling Logan.

Maybe somebody could pick us up.

Okay.

How many more miles

on the MapQuest?

F***in' awesome.

I don't have any service.

Roughly. I think you saw

it last. How many miles...

It's far, Gus!

Far, like 15 miles.

F***, okay.

I..

I guess we're walking.

I am not walking 15 miles.

You know, you really

are an a**hole, Gus.

You could do anything

and you don't.

Yeah, yeah. I know.

- That's my problem, okay?

- What?

Yeah, I don't do anything,

alright?

Okay, no, no, no.

Don't feel sorry for yourself.

I'm the one that's upset here.

I should have just

taken the train.

I never should have got

in your car.

So you think we should

see other people then?

You're such an a**hole.

So I've been told.

Oh, Jesus, really?

Ugh.

Not again.

Okay.

You know what..

Um... can you not die?

Because I don't really wanna be

alone in the wilderness.

You're afraid of being alone,

and I'm afraid of commitment.

Okay, just don't try

and talk. Just try and not die.

Okay?

You alright?

Yeah, I'm okay,

I'm okay. I'm okay.

Since when do you have asthma?

Did you have it as a kid?

I don't know, I..

I hurt my neck recently.

Maybe that's why.

I don't know.
