CHARLIE:

This amount should take care of a

handful of gophers, right?

OLD CLERK:

(suspicious)

That’s about right, boss.

Charlie hands the Clerk some cash.

OLD CLERK:

You happen to see that outta town

handyman, tell him his services

aren’t ‘preciated round here.

Charlie stares down the Clerk, icy -- receives his change.

6.

OLD CLERK:

You have a good one now.

INT. CABIN - EVENING

Will finishes cutting vegetables -- wipes the knife on his

pant leg -- stares out the window, restless.

INT. BEVERLY’S HOUSE - KITCHEN - EVENING

Charlie works on the sink. Beverly enters in a low-cut dress

-leans in, dangling her cleavage. He doesn’t even glance.

BEVERLY:

Can I offer you something to eat?

CHARLIE:

No.

Charlie finishes -- stands -- turns on the faucet. They look

at the pipes:
no more leak. Beverly beams.

BEVERLY:

Sure you can’t stay for supper?

CHARLIE:

I’m sure.

BEVERLY:

At least let me get you a drink. I

have milk, lemonade, tea...

(with a seductive glance)

Maybe a glass of wine.

CHARLIE:

I have dinner waiting.

BEVERLY:

Oh... Your wife’s cooking?

No reply. Beverly hands Charlie some cash. He exits.

INT. CABIN - EVENING

Will cooks a fish over the open-flame stove. Smoke billows

out the window.

INT. CABIN - LATER - DUSK

Charlie and Will dine in silence. Will inhales as if to speak

but suppresses the urge.

They finish eating. Will clears the dishes. Charlie exits.

Will hears the truck engine start -- exits...

EXT. CABIN - DUSK - MOMENTS LATER

Will enters the truck. No talk. Charlie drives away.

EXT. DEEP WOODS - HOUSE - NIGHT

Secluded. Satellite dishes line the roof. A TV flickers from

within. The curtains rustle as someone peaks out.

Charlie and Will walk from the parked truck to the door.

INT. DEEP WOODS HOUSE - CONTINUOUS

Smoky. Cluttered. A shady hillbilly, JIM (50s), ushers them

in. Charlie stares Jim down, all business. Will stands back,

detached; they’ve done this before.

Jim rubs his fingers together expectantly: ‘the money?’

CHARLIE:

The results?

JIM:

You don’t trust me by now?

(smiles)

Right.

Jim fishes two documents off a messy desk.

JIM:

Squeaky clean as always.

Charlie inspects the documents: two sets of STD results.

Charlie nods -- hands Jim a small roll of cash.

Jim thumbs the cash -- grins -- leads them back into the...

INT. HALLWAY - CONTINUOUS

Jim keys into a bedroom. Charlie enters -- pulls the door

closed behind him. Jim leads Will to another...

8.

INT. BEDROOM - CONTINUOUS

A REDNECK PROSTITUTE (35) sits on the bed -- clicks off her

TV -- mechanically starts to undress. Jim leaves them alone.

Will stares at her blank-faced -- starts to disrobe. Routine.
