Down in the Valley Page #5

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?

They came on my property,

and they stole a horse

and that guy with the cowboy hat just threatened me.

What?

- Don't you start!

- take it easy.

- Where's the horse?

- There.

The white one,

was stolen by them without my permission.

- off my property.

- Wait, officer!

i borrow the horse all the time, Charlie says it's fine as long as i bring my own gear .

He wasn't here when we happen to show up so we borrowed the horse,

we come back and now he's flipped on me.

You think this is the Old West?

- This is the goddamn valley.

- You're holding the one with the gun !

I don't even know the guy for christ sake

He takes alot of medication,

Sometimes he get off it, so he gets like this

- I don't take medication!

- You gotta take those pills.

- My name isn't Charlie!

- get them in the car right now.

have you really met Charlie?

of course i told you i did?

You can tell me,

it's all ok.

He says

his name wasn't Charlie.

that? I don't know

if he has another name or something,

I've always called him Charlie.

You mad at me?

Sh*t!

Great.

I take better care of critters

a whole lot better than you take care of your children.

Right.

Tell me exactly what happened.

Sir, I just want to say that...

I understand if you're upset but...

Tobe had nothing to do with it.

if there was any fault at all it was definitaly mine.

You don't have to apologize.

I think it's important to take

responsability for your actions.

Nothing's more you can ask a person than take responsability

how about not breaking the law with a minor?

well yeah sure

But that dont apply cause that wasn't the case

It was a misunderstanding.

Tobe, tell your friend here...

It'll take a little bit more honesty

to win m over.

- I don't give a sh*t if he wins you over!

- Hey!

See you, Lonnie.

Thanks alot.

- Stop!

- Let me go!

You sit down and talk to me!

I don't want to talk to you.

- Let me go!

- calm down!

F*** you!

you want me to f*** off, I'm your f***ing goddamn father.

I'm her f***ing father.

If I catch you near that nutcase,

I'll break his f***ing ass!

Wait, go back in.

- Stop it, dammit!

- Let go!

Get the hell back in

Tobe, i am Sorry.

- Get the f*** away from me.

- You all right?

Get the f*** away!

- What are you doing?

- Knocking on your window.

- What were you doing?

- Sleeping.

how did your window get broke?

It was just an accident.

- did he get rough with you?

- No.

- You swear?

- Yes.

did he say anything about me?

He just said he didnt want me

to see you anymore.

- You're not gonna listen to him, are you?

- No way.

Will you come take a walk with me?

I can't.

There's a religious parade down the road.

Spanish Lutherans,
