Trucker Page #3

Synopsis: Diane's free-wheeling life of drunken one-night-stands as a professional trucker hits a road block when Peter, her son, is dropped at her doorstep. Her former husband Len, whom she abandoned eleven years ago along with their new-born son, has cancer and no one else to turn to while he's in the hospital. Peter, resentful and wary, wants, even needs a mother who'll want him at this worrisome time but knows better than to expect this from Diane. With deliveries waiting and a mortgage to be paid, there's only one inevitable thing ahead for Diane and Peter - a road trip together.

So your dad's got

the big "C," huh?

Sorry to hear about that.

Yeah, well,

it's just in his colon.

No big deal.

He'll get better.

Yeah. Sure he will.

You'll go back

to your old school

and your pals,

and your mom

can get back

to her regular life.

I hate my school,

and I don't have any pals.

You got to have

a best friend.

Me and my dad

are best friends.

Well, I guess you're

the sort of guy...

who's choosy about

who he's buddies with.

I can relate to that.

I'm a bit of a-- a bit

of a lone wolf myself.

You're gonna use

your hot sauce?

[ Woman On P.A.,

Indistinct ]

Excuse me. I'm looking

for Leonard Bonner's room,

please.

It's Room 608,

and it's right

down the hall.

Thanks.

You got it?

Got it.

You got the I.V.,

sweetie?

I got it, baby.

[ Len Groaning ]

Damn it.

All right, we'll

clean that up later.

[ Sighs ]

- [ Grunts ]

- [ Jenny ]

Does it hurt?

No. I'm all right.

Just a little sore.

Okay.

[ Monitor Beeping ]

Hey, baby.

Yeah?

Can you get me

some water?

[ Door Opens ]

Three weeks.

Don't you have a home?

Me or him?

[ Fingers Snapping ]

- Where you going?

- Oklahoma City.

Get up.

You're going with me.

Where's

Oklahoma City?

Take a guess.

I'm not going.

I can take care of myself.

Dude, I'm trying to pay

my bills here, all right?

I don't have time

to play nice right now.

Well, then, why don't you

ask me and not just tell me?

All right, listen,

do you wanna go?

I don't know.

Do you want me to go?

Why don't you tell me

if you wanna go?

You tell me first.

Why don't you tell me first?

'Cause I was the one

who asked first.

So?

So that's

how it works.

Dude, man,

I got to get on the road.

This is too much for me.

If you ask me

and act like you

want me to go,

then I'll go.

All right, man,

do you wanna go?

Do you wanna go with me?

Do you wanna go

to Oklahoma City with me?

Please.

I'll think about it.

[ Exhales ]

[ Country Western ]

Everybody calls me the girl

in the little pink Mack

The bumpers are chrome

and so are the wheels

and the stack

It's got polka dot curtains

hanging in a sleeper of pink

Ha-ha, this Mack's a dandy

Some kind of truck

they think

In my truck-drivin' boots

I stand about 5 foot 3

But don't let

the size fool you

Man, I can take care of me

When you see a flash of pink

go flyin' by

The next thing you know

there's a taillight

in your eye

Everybody wonders who'd drive

such a rig like that

All the truckers would ask

"Who's the gal in the little

pink Mack"

- [ Radio Off ]

- Big country, huh?

Stay in the truck.

What's up?

Just about everything,

darlin'.

Hey, you see

a little kid around?

Hey, you see a little sh*t
