Far from Home Page #2

Synopsis: Charlie Cox is a divorced writer who lives in Los Angeles. Charlie and his daughter Joleen are on their way home from a cross country vacation when they run out of gas in Banco, Nevada; a small town located in a remote part of the desert. It's one day before Jolene's 14th birthday. Charlie and Joleen check a nearby gas station owned by a Vietnam war veteran named Duckett, but Duckett doesn't have any gas, so they head to the local supermarket to find a phone. Sheriff Bill Childers is in the store and he advises them to go to the trailer park to ask for gas. Joleen spots the body of the store's owner, Ferrell Hogus, in a pool of blood. The Sheriff states that the murderer is most likely a drifter. The man and daughter check into the nearby Palomino Guest Ranch and Trailer Park, which is owned by a hostile woman named Agnes Reed. Whilst her father uses the phone, Joleen speaks to Agnes's rebellious teenage son, Jimmy Reed, who she briefly came into contact with earlier at the gas station

Actually, I was looking for

a little cup of gasoline

to start an old car with.

You're not from

around here, are you?

Amy! A real human!

Please, God,

let it be a human

with some cigarettes.

Hi.

He's not from around here,

he smokes,

Let's go for the big win...

does he want a beer?

Sure.

What do I win?

You win a beer.

Alley-cop.

The price is kinda crazy,

if you got a little boy in your

home, regardless of the age,

stay with me on the next

item and take a look,

because there is

a remote controlled pickup...

this one is gorgeous!

Dinnertime!

Hey, Jo, sorry I'm late.

Oh, it looks like

we're going to have to

miss the first day of school.

Met a couple of people, though,

Louise and Amy.

Louise and Amy, huh?

Yeah, Louise and Amy, "huh".

They're stranded here,

just like us.

Take five dollars

off that price,

and we'll let it go

at a price of $12.50!

Just watch it!

Where have you been?

Out.

Out where?

Outside.

Dinnertime!

Thank God, some quiet.

Mm-hmm.

They finally

turned that thing off.

You know, if you

worked on a computer

like everyone else,

you'd be done by now.

Hey, dad,

do you mind if I go out

with a few bikers tonight?

You know, have some laughs?

Sure.

I thought you told him

you were finished.

I lied.

I guess your mom's right...

I am a bad influence on you.

You should see the guy

she's dating now.

Look, I'm really not ready to hear

about the men you're mom's dating.

I'm sorry.

You promised

aqua boy fish sticks!

They're too expensive.

These are just as good...

Eat 'em.

I wanted aqua boy.

They're the same.

They are not.

I'm warning you...

where's the coupon?

There's no coupon.

Just shut up and eat it!

If you loved us...

yum! Disodiumi-n-n-

nosinate pyrodoxide

hydrochloride.

These are poison.

Poison?

Poison.

Mommy...

they're good...

they're good,

they're perfectly fine.

Eat 'em!

Is that what your mom

and I sounded like?

No, you never sounded like

you hated each other.

That's because we didn't.

We loved each other.

A lot.

It's just that we

couldn't seem to...

do you still love her?

Yeah.

Do you think...

never mind.

What?

Nothing.

It's an unfair question.

Poison! Poison!

Poison! Poison!

You promised us aqua boy!

Yeech!

You little b*tch!

Ooh, mommy said a bad word.

Get out of here!

Get the f*** in here

you little witch! Get

over there and sit down!

You're just like your father,

you little sh*t!

At least my father had the

good sense to leave you!

My first and, I guess,

last night in banco, Nevada.

It's probably one of the shittiest

places in the whole world.

I can't get the picture

of that poor man's body

in the mini-mart
