LANDSCAPES:
An opening voice-over plays against dissolving Texas
landscapes--broad, bare, and lifeless.
VOICE-OVER
The world is full of complainers.
But the fact is, nothing comes with
a guarantee. I don't care if you're
the Pope of Rome, President of the
United States, or even Man of the
Year--something can always go wrong.
And go ahead, complain, tell your
problems to your neighbor, ask for
help--watch him fly. Now in Russia,
they got it mapped out so that
everyone pulls for everyone else--
that's the theory, anyway. But what
I know about is Texas...
CUT TO:
ROAD NIGHT:
We are rushing down a rain-swept country road, listening to
the rhythmic swish of tires on wet asphalt.
VOICE-OVER
And down here... you're on your own.
INT. CAR NIGHT
We are looking at the backs of two people in the front seat--
a man, driving, and a woman next to him.
Their conversation will be punctuated by the occasional glare
of oncoming headlights and the roar of the car rushing by.
The windshield wipers wave a soporific beat. The conversation
is halting, awkward.
WOMAN:
...He gave me a little pearl-handled
.38 for out first anniversary.
MAN:
Uh-huh.
WOMAN:
...Figured I'd better leave before I
used it on him. I don't know how you
can stand him.
MAN:
Well, I'm only an employee, I ain't
married to him.
WOMAN:
Yeah...
Pause, as an oncoming car passes. Finally:
WOMAN:
...I don't know. Sometimes I think
there's something wrong with him.
Like maybe he's sick? Mentally?...
Or is it maybe me, do you think?
MAN:
Listen, I ain't a marriage counselor.
I don't know what goes on, I don't
wanna know... But I like you. I always
liked you...
Another car passes.
MAN:
...What're you gonna do in Houston?
WOMAN:
I'll figure something out... How
come you offered to drive me in this
mess?
MAN:
I told you. I like you.
WOMAN:
See, I never knew that.
MAN:
Well now you do.
