C.O.G. Page #2

she just met who was driving to California,

and she said that he only had room

for her in his car.

So she forced me to take the bus

all by myself.

The bus.

Can you believe that?

PEDRO:
Mmm-hmm.

Well, you wouldn't believe it

if you knew what I was saying.

(ENGINE RUMBLING)

Hey!

What the hell you doing?

-Taking a break.

-A break?

I was tired.

You're supposed to work, not sit there

wasting your time reading crap.

Come here.

(DAVID SIGHS)

I want you to do something for me.

Okay.

I want you to go in town...

And fill up this tank with butane gas.

I need it for my stove.

-Okay, but...

-Can you do that?

Yeah, which car should I take?

MAN:
Good morning. How are you?

I'll go ahead and give that to you,

if you don't mind.

Whoops! You forgot it.

Oh, no! (CHUCKLES) Oh, no!

-Hey!

-Hi.

-That looks heavy.

-Yep.

Hey, what's your name?

Sorry, I'm not gonna buy anything from you.

Oh, no, no, no.

What I'm selling doesn't cost any money.

-Look at that.

-What's a C.O.G.?

-Why don't you try guessing?

-I don't really like guessing games.

I don't know. Come on.

Just go ahead. Just give it a try.

-Capable of genocide?

-Ah, no. (CLICKS TONGUE) No.

Oh, well. If you were one, you'd know.

How's that?

Well, have you let Jesus into your heart?

(GROANS) I'm an atheist.

Oh! If you don't believe in anything,

what's there left to believe in?

-That doesn't make any sense.

-(LAUGHS)

Well, my name is Jon.

I'll be right here when you're ready

to stop talking nonsense.

In the meanwhile, look at that.

-There's my number.

-Great.

-You call me if you need anything.

-Thank you.

-Do you want another one for the road?

-Nope.

-JON:
You sure? Okay.

-Yep.

JON:
All right. Here we go.

Hey, I like that shirt.

(BELL CHIMES)

Oh.

Hey, there. You need some help?

-No, I'm good, thank you.

-Are you sure?

Yeah. (GRUNTS)

-Not one to ask help, are you?

-Nope.

I can tell that.

You're gonna do it all by yourself, aren't you?

Yeah.

-Well, we'll see how far that gets you.

-Okay.

Looks like it might get you

to the end of the block.

-Yeah, I'm good. Thank you. Yep.

-Yeah?

-Okay. I could push it for you.

-No, I'm fine, thank you.

Okay.

(PANTING)

(PANTING)

(EXHALES LOUDLY)

Ahem. No more breaks.

Sure.

I got it.

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

Hey. (SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

Yes, my school.

Mi "eschoolio."

(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

What?

(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

Oh, girls. Yeah. There are girls there.

(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

I don't understand.

Mujer.

Girl.

(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

(CHUCKLES) A daughter?

No, I don't have a daughter.

No, no.

Oh, God, no. Pedro, no.

Jesus.

-No mujeres?

-No mujeres, okay?

Definitely no mujeres.
