The Yellow Handkerchief Page #2

Synopsis: One lazy afternoon in a backwater Louisiana town, Martine takes a leap into an unfamiliar convertible. The driver, Gordy, an awkward young itinerant who eyed her in the diner earlier, isn't displeased to find this pretty sylph in his front seat. Soon they meet Brett, a laconic, humble man just released from prison. Martine isn't keen on going solo with Gordy, and now it's raining cats and dogs, so she invites Brett along, and the unlikely trio sets out, each person unsure of the destination. What ensues is a journey through the lush green byways of rural Louisiana and into the depths of these characters' souls.

in a shiny purple bathing suit.

Cuckoo!

You all right?

Yeah.

Well, if that's it,

I'm gonna say good night.

If anybody needs

to get in here, just knock.

He's weird.

I think if it gets any better

in the next couple hours,

we should just leave.

I mean, even

if it's in the middle of the night.

A few fixes, it'll be good to go,

maybe worth a couple grand.

Look at this.

You go out in this?

That one needs

some work for sure.

There's a good one down here.

It's freezing cold down there.

Night.

You know, it's hard sleeping

in the same room with you.

Huh?

Well, you're so pretty

when you do certain stuff.

Kinda makes me horny.

I'm getting obsessed.

I think it would go--it would go away

if you just kissed me once,

you know, because it wouldn't

be like this obsession thing.

What do you say?

So it's like an obsession thing?

You touch me and it goes away?

Kind of, yeah.

Why is that?

The mystery's gone, and...

- Get off!

- Okay, I'm sorry!

- Get off me!

- Shh! I'm sorry!

I'm not gonna shut up, okay!

What is going on in here?

All right, you, in there.

No.

No. I'm not gonna be ordered around

by some old guy I don't even--

Now.

She was crying about nothing.

How would you know?

Oh.

Easy.

You can do this!

All right. Come on.

Okay, okay.

- Okay.

- Do it tight there now.

Hey.

Hi.

I just--I wanted to...

I wanted to say

that I'm sorry at what--

It's okay? Okay, come, come now.

Oh, my God!

- Come. Come.

- Step back there.

Gordy, thanks

for getting me this far,

but I think I'm gonna take my time

and then get on a bus.

Oh, me, too.

I should, too.

Thanks a lot for the ride.

I don't think I have enough

to get me home.

I can cover you,

if they're running at all this morning.

Might take them a while.

- Thank you.

- Yeah.

Where do you work?

I used to work on the oil rigs,

in the ocean down south.

You want a cookie?

Like down south,

like, near New Orleans?

Couple hours from there.

I've always wanted

to go to New Orleans.

You been married?

Have you been?

Are you interviewing for the job?

'Cause you're a little young.

- You wanna walk?

- Yeah.

- So where is she?

- Who?

Your wife.

Why do you think someone

would want to be married to me?

Well, I can see that, easy.

Well, you can't always trust

what you see.

Was that your dad

you were talking to last night?

Yeah. I think he has

a girlfriend now.

He didn't even tell me.

Mmm.

I bet he's picking her up

to do the runs with him.

Mm-hmm.

I used to go with him sometimes.

Oh, yeah?

We stayed in that motel once.

No.

How weird is that?

Yeah.

We should go.

No messages.

Not one message.

I left for a day.

He probably tried you at home.
