127 Hours Page #4

ARON:

Hey. Are you doing the east pike?

Can I come along with you for a

while?

The girls don't reply, just look at each other.

ARON (CONT'D)

I'm on my own. I'm Aron.

CUT TO:

EXT. APPROACH TO BLUE JOHN CANYON. DAY. A VAST ARROYO.

He slides/surfs down so he's on the same level as them,

arriving in a haze of dust, holding out his hand for the

shake. Big smile.

KRISTI:

(looking at Megan)

Sure, I'm Kristi.

MEGAN:

Megan.

ARON:

Nice to meet you. What a day.

KRISTI:

It's beautiful.

ARON:

Did you bike or come straight from

the trail head?

KRISTI:

We left the car there. Pretty

quiet.

ARON:

I left mine at the Horseshoe Canyon

and biked here.

7.

MEGAN:

You biked from Horseshoe? That's

20 miles or more.

ARON:

17 and windy.

The girls exchange glances.

ARON (CONT'D)

I do this a lot.

They laugh. He's crazy, but harmless.

ARON (CONT'D)

Wasn't expecting to see anyone in

the canyon today.

MEGAN:

Yeah, you surprised us, sneaking up

like that.

ARON:

Sorry.

MEGAN:

It's kind of nervy seeing a lone

guy walking up to you in the middle

of the desert.

ARON:

Yeah, I know, I mean there's no one

around for 50 miles.

KRISTI:

... and suddenly there's a guy

right behind you and `wait a

minute, why is he wearing a HOCKEY

MASK!'

They all laugh.

ARON:

Let me guess... You're here for

the paintings or the Cathedral?
