Meeting Evil Page #2

Synopsis: The real estate agent John is down on his luck: he has been just fired from his job; his home has been sent into foreclosure; and his marriage is going downhill. On his birthday, his wife Joanie has an argument with him and she takes their children walking. Out of the blue, stranger Richie knocks on his front door and asks for help, since his car is not starting. John helps to push the car but hurts his leg, and Richie offers to take him to the hospital. Richie is inconvenient and along their journey, John realizes that the man is a psychopath killer that commits a spree killing everywhere they go. Then, Richie releases John on the road and tells him that he will pay a visit to Joanie and his children. Meanwhile, the police detectives Frank and his partner Latisha Rogers suspect that John is the serial-killer and they pressure Joanie to tell where John might be. Further, they discover that John and Joanie are cheating each other with a colleague and with a worker respectively.

-So, you can't park there.

-I just did.

-You need a permit, that's the thing.

-You're hurt, right?

Ain't that the definition of handicap spot?

Just act like a cripple. We'll be all right.

Okay.

Where you going?

How about that drink?

If you don't want to have a drink with me,

all you got to do is say so.

-Look.

-You know...

I know, I can behave

a little strangely sometimes.

Just because I'm a little different

doesn't make me a bad guy.

I don't think you're a bad guy. It's just...

I just gotta get home. That's all. My wife.

Wife.

Careful.

The damn shitter's broken again.

Plumber's late as usual.

Yeah, I'm always waiting for the muffin man.

Well, you just get your tight little trucker ass

on in here before I cream my shorts.

And that's a big 1 0-4.

-Sorry, hi.

-How can I help you?

May I borrow your phone?

I just gotta make a quick call.

Pay phone's at the bar.

Okay, well, it's...

I just gotta call my wife, it's local.

Pay phone's at the bar.

Okay, so, give me your cheapest phone,

I guess.

Last one. Cash or credit?

Look, I'm really sorry. I don't have my wallet.

-If you just let me use the phone...

-Pay phone's at the bar.

Lady, I haven't seen a pay phone in years.

-I'm just trying to...

-Not my problem.

Okay, look, I'll just...

You know, Rhonda, for somebody

in the communications business,

I think you could afford to learn

a little common courtesy.

F*** you.

-How's that for common courtesy?

-All right.

Grow some balls.

Actually, I'd just like to use your phone,

if that's okay.

Jesus Christ!

-John. What are you doing here?

-Hey, Trevor.

I just need to use the phone. Sorry.

You look like hell.

Yeah, I've been better.

You know, listen, John,

it wasn't all my decision.

So, whose was it?

Corporate downsizing.

You just weren't pulling your weight.

Walk away, John, like you always do.

Come on, man.

Johnny, come on

and have a drink with us, man.

-My man. I knew you'd be back.

-Yeah.

There ain't no harm in being polite.

Don't worry about me.

You should worry about the fat ass

across the street at the phone store.

Yeah, or my jack-off boss

who just spilled a beer on me.

I'm fine, though.

You mean the bastard who canned you?

He's here?

Yeah, yeah, that's the very guy. He's here.

He's holding court.

I say we go in there

and kick his head inside out.

I shouldn't even have mentioned it. It's fine.

Yeah, I'd like to make a collect call...

Let me loan you a quarter.

It's the least I can do.

I'm fine. It's okay.

Yeah, my name's John Felton.

Hi, it's the Feltons.

We're not home, so leave a message.

You should never tell people

you ain't home on your answering machine.

Yeah?
