A Perfect Getaway Page #5

Synopsis: For their honeymoon, newlyweds Cliff and Cydney head to the tropical islands of Hawaii. While journeying through the paradisaical countryside the couple encounters Kale and Cleo, two disgruntled hitchhikers and Nick and Gina, two wild but well-meaning spirits who help guide them through the lush jungles. The picturesque waterfalls and scenic mountainsides quickly give way to terror when Cliff and Cydney learn of a grisly murder that occurred nearby and realize that they're being followed by chance acquaintances that suspiciously fit the description of the killers.

who did the killing?

I don't think so.

"Security cameras

released photo of suspect.' '

You know what I heard? A few

people die out here every year.

They just stand under a waterfall,

get hit by some falling rock.

Or maybe they just slip and

go right on over. Vanish.

Who knows how? Or even why.

Could be the wages of sin.

How you doing, Hot Wheels?

I'm good.

That's two lies in one day. It

comes naturally to you, don't it?

Are you following us, Kale?

You know, it ain't the fact

that you deceived us.

Every man's got a pack

of lies in him, right?

It's just that you thought we

was foolish enough to buy it.

I'm sorry, I don't...

What did you think,

anyway?

Just 'cause we choose

to look a certain way

that makes us,

what, desperados?

No, I don't think...

Jesus, man.

You know, sometimes it feels

like the whole world's just

spitting in my face.

Excuse me.

Look. I thought you said you

were going to Lumahai Beach.

"Going to that area.' '

That's what we said.

Well, you didn't say you

were doing the trail, so...

Well, neither did you.

Look. We offered you a ride. You

didn't want it. You didn't take it.

So, I don't really understand

what the issue is between us.

Kale?

Joy and happiness here?

No, I think we're good.

Outstanding.

How far you going,

Hot Wheels?

Playing it by ear. You?

Probably the next beach.

What's it called?

Hanakapi'ai.

That one, yeah. Maybe

there, maybe further.

Need permits to go further.

Should have

given us a ride, man.

Come on.

So, after a $45 taxi ride, we

wind up at the Ocean View Hotel.

Sounds nice, doesn't it?

Problem is it hadn't actually

had an ocean view since 1987,

when these high-rises

went up across the street.

Jesus. Everyone's like,

"Waikiki is so great!"

Honestly, it's getting

on my last nerve.

Are we okay?

Yeah. Let's keep an

eye on our time, okay?

Yeah, but do those packs belong

to who I think they belong to?

Yeah, they said they were

doing the trail all along.

I don't know,

maybe they were.

Sh*t, it's 1:
30 already.

Come on, let's go.

Hey, baby,

you want to break this down?

We should be

clackalacking, too.

Okey-dokey.

Thank you.

So, you guys don't

mind if we tag along?

I mean, we're all

going to the same place.

It's fine with me.

Yeah. Are you kidding?

Did you take the permits?

No, I didn't touch them.

Well, I put them right

here in this brochure.

Did you leave

them at the store?

No. I'm pretty sure I put...

No, I'm positive I put... Sh*t!

While we're

still young, Cliff?

Yeah, one sec!

We leave no man behind.

These are some hard yards.

Guess you can't have rainbows

without a little rain. Right?

You hear that Cliff here
