Meeting Evil Page #3

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 what exactly is your interest

in my business?

I'm just trying to help you out here.

That's what they're looking for. Suckers.

Well, thanks for the warning.

John?

-What are you doing here?

-Nothing. I'm just leaving.

Come on, one drink.

No, actually, I gotta call Joanie.

I need a ride. I gotta get home.

I can drive you home.

I just gotta use the pisser first.

I'll meet you outside.

Yeah, I don't know if that's such a good idea.

-What? Taking a piss?

-No, that's not what I meant.

-John, it's just a ride home.

-Okay.

Gotcha.

You okay?

-Yeah.

-What's...

Could have sworn I parked right around here.

-You don't know where you...

-There it is.

So, Tammy, are you okay to drive?

I'm a teensy bit wasted,

so maybe you'd better.

Thanks.

You know I broke up with Trevor

to be with you.

Yeah, and he fired me.

Is that what you care about?

Look, Tammy.

You know, what we did was wrong, okay?

-For who?

-My family.

F***ing cowards.

You know, that stupid fat ass wouldn't

let me make a phone call neither.

Said she didn't like the way I looked,

and she kept stuffing doughnuts

down her blabber box.

It looked like she'd been locked

in a doughnut shop her whole life.

Yeah.

Man gets his dream car towed by the pigs,

gets treated like a criminal

by an incompetent...

-Where's your common courtesy?

-Exactly.

-I should have listened to you.

-I know.

You tried to warn me

about these parking rules.

But what a car though, right?

Pure American muscle.

You could feel that power, right?

I sure did.

You feel it right between your legs.

-It's a muscle car.

-Is that so?

Yeah, that is so, missy. Right, John?

-It's a great car, I'll give you that.

-You know what I'm talking about.

-John, you know this guy?

-Yeah, we...

I really, really hate to ask this,

because of everything

we've already been through,

but you think you can give me

a ride to the impound?

I don't think so,

'cause I gotta get home and...

I gotta get home, too!

I'm just like you, John. I'm stranded.

-I don't even know where the impound is.

-I do!

I do! It's not far. Scout's honour.

See, it's not my car,

and I gotta take her home.

Name's Richie. I would really appreciate it.

-Well, if John will vouch for you.

-Course he'll vouch for me!

-Right, John?

-Yeah, I mean, we met earlier...

-So, how do you two know each other?

-We work together.

-Work buddies?

-We work together.

-Wanna give him a ride?

-It's fine. We'll give you a ride.

Yeah, we'd better hurry. Looks like rain.

-So, we close?

-Think so.

You think so?

-Man, you even know where it is?

-Yeah.

'Cause we've been driving

for like a half hour,

and you just said it was a couple miles.
