A coffee shop somewhere in New Mexico. MICKEY KNOX, his
back turned TO us, is sitting at the counter finishing a
meal. We hear the PING... BANG... of a PINBALL MACHINE
being played O.S.
MABEL, a waitress, comes over and fills Mickey's coffee
cup.
MICKEY:
What kind of pies do you have?
MABEL:
Apple, pecan, cherry, and key lime.
MICKEY:
Which do you recommend?
MABEL:
Well, the key lime is great, but
it's an acquired taste.
MICKEY:
I haven't had key lime pie in ten
years.
MABEL:
When ya had it, did ya like it?
MICKEY:
No, but that don't mean much. I
was a completely different person
ten years ago. Let's give key
lime a day in court. And a large
glass of milk.
Mabel turns to her right.
MABEL:
(to someone O.S.)
Should I make that two pieces?
CAMERA PULLS BACK and we see for the first time MALLORY
KNOX, Mickey's wife, sitting on a counter stool next to
him. Her back is TO the CAMERA as well.
MALLORY:
Nada, Rosey.
MABEL:
(annoyed)
My name's not Rosey.
(points at nametag)
It's Mabel.
(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:
Mabel EXITS FRAME.
MALLORY:
Whatever.
Mallory hops from the stool, walks over and grabs the jar
next to the cash register, then dumping out the coins on
the counter, she selects a quarter.
MABEL:
Hey, what the hell do you think
you're doin'?
Mallory saunters past the cowboy playing pinball. As his
eyes follow Mallory, he loses his ball.
She walks to the JUKEBOX in the back, inserts the
quarter, selects a song, punches the buttons, a needle
lands on a record, and a good God almighty rockabilly
TUNE cuts through the coffee shop.
Mabel brings Mickey his pie and milk.
MABEL:
(to Mickey)
That's for Jerry's kids, not
rock 'n' roll.
CAMERA MOVES AROUND TO a CLOSEUP of Mickey. This is the
first time we see him. As he takes a bite of green pie:
MICKEY:
I can't take her anywhere.
Mallory starts doing a slow, seductive fandango around
the coffee shop. She's really cooking and smoking.
Pinball cowboy and Mabel are starting to wonder just who
Mickey isn't paying much attention. He's too busy
enjoying his pie and milk.
A dirty pickup truck, sporting a confederate flag decal,
pulls up to the coffee shop. SONNY, OTIS, and EARL,
three tough-looking rednecks, pile out. Steam rises from
beneath the pickup's hood.
EARL:
Goddamn this sumbitch is runnin'
hot. Y'all go inside. I'm gonna
check 'er out.

The LOUDNESS of the rockabilly SONG slaps Sonny and Otis
in their faces as they walk inside the door. The sexy
sight of Mallory doing the ubang stomp stops them in
their tracks.
SONNY:
Good God almighty, what the hell
is that?
OTIS:
That's a b*tch outta hell, son.
Otis and Sonny exchange looks.
SONNY:
Take a run at 'er, kiddo.
Otis heads toward Mallory. Sonny moves over to the
counter next to Mickey.
SONNY:
Miller, Mabel.
MABEL:
Comin' up.
Otis stands in front of Mallory, trying to copy what
she's doing. Her eyes are closed at the moment, so she
doesn't see him.
Mabel sets the Miller down in front of Sonny.
takes a swig, enjoying the floor show.
Sonny
SONNY:
(to Mickey)
That's some sweet piece of meat,
ain't it?
Mickey turns from his pie and looks at Sonny.
expression betrays nothing.
His
MICKEY:
Her name's Mallory.
The needle lifts off the record. The SONG ENDS.
Mallory opens her eyes and sees Otis.
OTIS:
Hells bells! Don't stop now,
sugar. I'm just getting warmed
up.
