Dirty Weekend Page #2

Synopsis: Colleagues Les and Natalie are delayed in the Albuquerque airport. Restless, irritated, and unable to stand the service workers he meets at every turn, Les heads downtown. Natalie refuses to leave his side and discovers that his supposedly aimless wandering has more of a point than he is willing to admit. Natalie conceals secrets of her own, though neither can keep them quiet for long. A rapport grows between this unlikely pair, and soon they search out a spark of excitement in this most unlikely of locales.

yeah, we're in a spot of bother.

Um... We're s... we're stuck.

Um, Albuquerque.

Yeah. I know.

The weather. No, it's just

the weather, really.

Um, and, um, anyway,

so, we could...

we could use

a little bit of your...

of your help on it, really.

Um, I know, I know.

Domestic travel

in the United States.

Okay.

All right, so...

oh, really? All right, then.

Well, if you... if you...

if you call my other phone,

I'll have it in a minute.

Oh, you wo...

okay, e-mail. Okay.

Well, I-I look forward to it.

All right.

Les is fine, yeah.

He's doing okay.

Les...

All right, then.

Okay, then, Suzie.

Thank you. Bye.

This may be the first time

I've ever had a Martini

before noon.

Well, make that 10:30.

Sh*t.

This is crazy.

We got to get out of here.

Mm. I mean, we're...

We need to be there, right?

We should be there already.

Yeah.

I told them,

"this is a big deal.

Let us travel out on Sunday,

get a jump on things."

But, no, they save 400 bucks

by having us fly on Monday.

Well... well,

I hope they're happy

when we end up walking in late

tomorrow morning.

Are you all right? Yeah,

yeah, it's just...

it's just,

this is a big account,

and it's a huge deal for me.

For all of us...

But especially for me.

I know it is. Yeah.

I feel like there's a lot

riding on this.

You know, I...

yeah, I... I think I'm gonna...

I'm gonna run into town

for a... for a little bit.

Sorry? Into town.

I-I feel like being in the city

for a few hours, so...

What, like now? R-right now?

Yeah, just for a bit,

if that's okay.

Blow off some steam.

Of course.

'Cause we're not getting out

of here. That's obvious.

I mean, we're not. Well, we could, though.

You don't know that.

No, it's gonna take a while.

I'm just gonna...

just gonna get in the shuttle,

go back to the airport,

grab a cab, do a few things,

and I'll... I'll be back

in like a-a couple hours.

Les, do you think it's wise

for us to split up?

Hey, we're not

married here or anything.

W-we're more like...

like bandits, you know,

Desperados, Butch & Sundance,

that kind of deal.

We can be apart

for a little bit.

But...

you'll be fine.

You just keep

checking on things,

and I'll give you a buzz

in an hour or two, all right?

I don't like this.

I just want to say that.

Nat. Nat, come on,

I just want to pick up a thing

or two, for my kids...

Indian knickknacks,

a headdress, okay?
