CAROL:

I'm sorry, but I just can't see you

veggin' out in LA-LA LAND.

CARRIE:

Oh, I don't know... I think that

once I dye my hair blonde, buy a

string bikini and cultivate that

tan... I could be veggin' out with

the best of 'em...

(does a valley-

girl/beach bunny)

Like fer shurr!

Carrie and Carol share a strained laugh.

INT. APARTMENT KITCHEN - FEW MOMENTS LATER

The room's crowded with people. There's a lot of noise --

"shop talk," banter. Clipped conversations overlap, as we

find Brian with his friend Eric. They are in the midst of

making a blender of margaritas.

BRIAN:

I'm talking about the mind and

culpability of a serial killer.

Someone who has no ability to

distinguish between right and wrong

should not be imprisoned, let alone

executed.

Eric dumps in a handful of ice cubes as Brian pours in the

booze.

ERIC:

Oh, here we go again. Let's just lay

it all at the altar of misfiring

synapses, amok biochemicals and

horrendous childhoods.

BRIAN:

Look, it's a fact, most of these

people suffer from a severe chemical

brain imbalance.

(beat)

That enough Tequila?

ERIC:

Probably not...

Brian pours in the rest of the bottle.

BRIAN:

(to Eric)

The answer is research and treatment

under hospital supervised conditions,

not the electric chair!

Eric looks for triple sec in the cupboards. PETER overhears

them on his way to the refrigerator.

PETER:

Yeah, until it's your mother's head

they find in the refrigerator.

He pulls open the refrigerator door and grabs two beers.

Carrie steps up behind Brian.

BRIAN:

Executing the killer wouldn't bring

my mother back.

CARRIE:

Thank god!

Brian turns to see Carrie now behind him. She wraps her arms

around his neck.

BRIAN:

(sarcastic to Carrie)

Ha, ha.

ERIC:

Yeah, but it'd sure make you feel

better, wouldn't it?

BRIAN:

No, it wouldn't make me feel better.

Peter finds triple sec in the refrigerator.

PETER:

...Looking for this?

Eric takes the triple sec from Peter and pours some in the

blender. He turns it on. It whines.

CARRIE:

(to Brian)

If I have to listen to one more

"tweed" talk about his dissertation,

I'm going to throw up.

ERIC:

(to Brian)

Label it anyway you want, the bottom

line is these people are evil, plain

and simple.

BRIAN:

(continuing with Eric)

Okay, now you want to talk about

good versus evil? Well then let's

start with Adam and Eve and the snake.

CARRIE:

Who do I have to blow to get out of

here?

BRIAN:

(reconsiders)

A... I gotta go.

EXT. LUCKY STREET GRILL

A relic from the fifties with large glass windows. The rain

has stopped but the streets are still wet. Early's piece of

sh*t Grand Prix pulls into the lot. He gets out and walks

into the diner.
