Wind Chill Page #2

Synopsis: A couple of college students known only as the Girl and the Guy are traveling home to Delaware the day before Christmas Eve. They're on a frozen road that the Guy is convinced is a scenic short-cut. In the middle of nowhere in below freezing conditions they are run off the road by a hit and runner. They soon realize they're caught in a supernatural bubble where a crime from 1953 is doomed to repeat itself, year after year threatening new victims. The Guy attempts to walk back to the last petrol station but his wounds from the crash are worse than he let on.

- Come on...

What do you mean?

'This is how ride sharing works.

'Division of labor.

We split everything 50-50.'

- Come on, take the money.

- I don't take money from friends.

What the hell is this?

- It's a scenic detour.

- Get back on the highway.

- Look, would you just...

- No, I mean it, get back on the highway.

- Calm down.

- You don't know where you're going.

All right, will you chill? It looks interesting.

No, I won't chill, get back on the highway.

This is not going to happen.

Look, relax, okay? It's a shortcut.

We'll be back on the highway in no time.

Yeah, well, there's no radio station...

You're not going to get a signal,

we're in a valley.

FM radio waves travel in a straight line,

they can't penetrate the big hills. Try AM.

Where were you

when I was flunking freshman physics?

So, does your family do

the whole traditional family Christmas?

Yeah.

You?

No, my grandparents are Dutch,

so I was raised on salted licorice

and Sinterklaas.

How is that different from regular Santa Claus?

Well, instead of the North Pole,

he lives in Spain.

And instead of elves,

he's got this enforcer named Black Pete.

So, he's basically like your Santa Claus,

only scarier.

That's charming.

So, come on, what's your Christmas like?

Christmas is like me racing

back and forth between Mom and Dad,

who split in my freshman year. So...

Two turkey dinners, two trees,

two sets of presents

to return for store credit.

I can normally deal,

but this year Mom decided to rent

a condo at the beach, which is like...

Which is like what, two hours away?

I don't know, the beach can be

sort of nice in the winter.

Romantic.

You a Rehoboth Beach family or Stone Harbor?

Stone Harbor.

Yeah, we always went to Rehoboth.

I was just jealous of all my friends

who got to spend summers at the Jersey shore.

Yeah, me, too.

Stone Harbor is the Jersey shore.

- Yeah.

- You know that, right?

- No, no, I know where it is.

- You're not from Delaware, are you?

No. It's complicated.

- Who are you?

- What are you talking about? I am...

- What the hell's going on here?

- Nothing's going on.

Yeah, what the hell's going on here?

- Will you just calm down, okay?

- No, you're freaking me out.

I can explain. It's...

Well, you explain. I don't get any of this.

Watch out.

Do you have the lights on?

He doesn't even see us.

- Well, how can he not see us?

- Pull over! Let the a**hole go by.

Where do you want me to pull over?

There's no shoulder.

I don't know. Slow down! He's not stopping!

Hold on! Hold on!

Come on.

Come on. Please.

Come on.

What are you doing?

Just calling 911. I've been trying to call 911.

- Any luck?

- I can't get a signal.
