Bonnie and Clyde Page #7

BONNIE:

Hey, that ain't ours.

14.

CLYDE:

Sure it is.

BONNIE:

But we came in this one.

CLYDE:

Don't mean we have to go home in it.

She walks amazed around the new car and gets in beside him.

He turns the key and they pull away from the cafe.

INT. ABANDONED FARM HOUSE. A WIDE SHOT OF THE PARLOR LIVING

ROOM. DAY.

The room is bare. In the middle BONNIE is waking, having

slept on a couple of car seats covered with an old piece of

tattered blanket. There are windows behind her. She looks

about bewildered.

BONNIE:

Clyde...

She starts to panic and runs to the window.

BONNIE:

(continuing)

Clyde...

At another window CLYDE appears.

CLYDE:

Hey, lady.

BONNIE:

(chagrined at her fear)

Where you been keeping yourself?

CLYDE:

Slept out by the car.

BONNIE:

Oh...These accommodations ain't

particularly deluxe.

CLYDE:

No...If they're after us, I want

the first shot. Come on, you got

some work to do.

BONNIE moves to the door and out of the house.

15.

EXT. FARM HOUSE. FRONT YARD. DAY.

On the door is a sign which reads:

INSERT:

PROPERTY OF MIDLOTHIAN CITIZENS BANK --TRESPASSERS WILL BE

PROSECUTED.

Wide angle. Across fence. Day. On the dilapidated picket

fence six old bottles have been placed. As BONNIE joins

CLYDE he turns and fires six quick shots. The bottles

disappear.

BONNIE:

You're good.

CLYDE:

The best.

BONNIE:

And modest...

CLYDE:

Come on. Got you all set up over

here.

Wider angle. They move around to the side of the building

where CLYDE points to a tire hanging by a rope from a tree.

He means that to be BONNIE's target. He hands her a gun.

CLYDE:

Set her spinnin'.

BONNIE fires. She misses.

CLYDE:

Again. Come down slow with it...

BONNIE fires again and hits the tire. She smiles and blows

the smoke from the barrel in pride and self-mockery.

CLYDE:

Ain't you something? I tell you

I'm going to get you a Smith and

Wesson, it'll be easier in your

hand. Now try it again once...

BONNIE sights. As she is about to fire, a man appears

around the corner of the building. A FARMER. She fires and

hits the tire.

FARMER:

Heighdo.

16.

CLYDE whirls at the sound. He grabs gun from BONNIE because

his is empty. He aims at FARMER.

FARMER:

(frightened)

No sir...no sir. You all go right

ahead.

CLYDE watches him warily.

FARMER:

(continuing)

Used to be my place. Not any more.

Bank took it.

CLYDE and BONNIE start to move toward the farmer. All three

move around to the front of the building. At a distance we

see an Okie car loaded with belongings. A WOMAN with a BABY

in arms sits in front. A smaller BOY stands outside the car.
