Down in the Valley Page #3

Synopsis: Tobe is about 16, living with her dad and younger brother in LA's San Fernando Valley. She invites a gas station attendant named Harlan to come to the beach with her and her friends. He's from South Dakota, wears a cowboy hat, talks country, and has been a ranch hand. They have a great time, his simple expressions seem like wisdom, he's attentive and polite, and even though he's more than twice her age, she wants to spend time with him. When her father objects, she rebels. Harlan, meanwhile, thinks she's his soul mate, and he starts making plans to get her away from her father. Worlds are set to collide, but which ones?

Where's the cowboy?

What are you doing John Wayne?

C'mon!

you gotta love people, not cars.

I'm serious!

What'll we do?

You don't belong in there,

you belong out here.

We'got places to go.

Look!

- Everyone out!

- The hell with cars!

- Hug me!

- No, you do it.

- Preach it, Texan!

- Yeah, I'll preach!

Preach it, brother.

See, I'm preaching!

- Stop that.

- What?

- Are you crazy?

- No, I'm the sanest of all.

- Yeah, right.

- It's true, look.

They're sitting

in their boxes driving.

Look how many boxes,

an endless line!

how long does this last?

for a while.

You wont feel it tomorrow.

What are you thinking?

Dunno,

there are lots of things

I'd wanna do, but...

I'll never get to do them.

You can do anything you want to do.

You can even be anybody you wanna be if you just...

Decide and...

do it.

It's like waiting

for life to start .

A new start, you know?

most days I just wanna

step outside of my heart.

Go walk under a sky full of stars.

And hear nothing but the wind.

And when i do speak i want it to be with my true voice.

- Do you think you talk with your real voice?

- Dunno.

how do i know it?

cause you don't hear other voices

in your head while talking.

Till things you really wanna be saying,

you don't say things

that dont matter to you.

Are you true with yourself?

Not very often.

But I do right now.

Me too.

- Hi.

- Where the f*** have you been?

I slept at April's.

Wait a goddamn minute!

what happened to the guy?

I was up all night

worried sick about you.

- I am sure your friend kept your mind out of it ?

- Come here!

- I'm not done talking.

- Leave me alone.

Come out!

- Open the door.

- No f***ing way!

Open the damn door.

We're gonna talk about this tonight,

and you be here when i get home.

- Hear me?

- Yes.

- What?

- Yes!

You got something in there that is mine,

I ain't gonna give it up cheap!

If I come in, I'm coming in hot!

You got some nerve shooting at me.

Half that is mine,

there's plenty for everyone!

Knock it off, will you!

keep it down yourself!

You think i like listening to your game shows all day.

You have something wrong with you!

it's greed that it's gonna be the death of you,

'cause you...

You are greedy little pig

and you'll squeal like a pig

when I come through that door!

F***.

All over for a few lumps of ore.

I guess this is just the human falling.

Almost there.

- these the ones?

- them all right.

You Like 'em?

well

which one you want.

Hey there.

Good boy.

Come on.

What do you think?

It's beautiful.

Yeah, it still is.

Do you think things have a purpose?

what do you mean?

Do you think everything's has something it's supposed to do
