Prince Avalanche Page #5

Synopsis: After a rough time working a night shift job in the city, Alvin is spending the summer on a remote two-man public works crew painting lines on newly paved roads through what is a recently wildfire-ravaged region of Texas. He is camping along the way living off the land, even doing so on his days off. He is what he considers a responsible man, earning and sending money to his girlfriend, Madison, a single mother, so that she need not concern herself with anything besides child rearing. The junior second that Alvin hires for his crew is Madison's brother, Lance. Alvin's controlling and judgmental nature comes to the surface in his dealings with more immature and irresponsible Lance, who goes back to the city on the weekends so that he can have "his little man squeezed", something he cannot understand in Alvin being without Madison or any woman for such a long stretch of time. Alvin prefers to stay in the burnt out woods on the weekends as being alone with his thoughts and his chores - ma

[SIGHS]

[ENGINE TURNS OVER]

What about her boyfriend?

She break up with him?

Sort of.

Hey. So what's

the problem?

Can't we just listen

to the silence?

Yeah, sure.

ALVIN:
So not even a

little bit of fingering?

Yeah, a little bit.

It was a really stupid weekend.

Oh?

Do tell.

Yeah.

It all started

just after I left.

I wasn't even near hidden

ridge and I got a flat tire.

I'd been driving for less than an

hour, and I ran over a sharp object.

You ever had to change a

tire on a truck like that?

Yeah.

It's so hard.

Mm-Hmm.

It took me so long.

I mean... [SCOFFS]...

It took me a great length

of time to change the tire,

So, like, I didn't even get home

until, like, midnight or something.

And I was covered

in grease and very gross,

So I went into my kitchen

and had some salsa

And had a beer, and then...

the next thing you know...

I'm fast asleep.

Well, that's... That's your

body telling you it's exhausted.

It's weird.

No, it's not that weird.

I mean, you've been out here

working hard for almost 5 days.

No, you haven't even heard

the weird part, dummy.

Ok.

I fell asleep right in

the middle of my kitchen,

And I was standing straight up.

That's weird.

Yeah.

And I didn't wake up until my mom

and dad woke up the next morning

And came down for breakfast

and had snacks.

And they just saw you standing

there, sleeping? Yeah.

So I didn't get a party Friday night,

which was really disappointing,

But I figured, hey, I'll be in

good shape for Saturday night.

So I hit the bars with some buddies

and we had some cocktails.

Right away, I saw two chicks who

would totally have partied with me.

I'd actually... I'd actually

screwed one of them before,

Which was ok, but she had

these fat little legs,

Which I found a bit bizarre.

And whenever we would make love, she

would always flap her arms up and down

Like she was trying to fly.

Maybe she was trying to escape.

No, no, no, no.

Orgasms.

She just gets excited.

[CHUCKLES] Fantastic.

[SIGHS]

And so I'd already decided I

was going to sleep with Peggy.

I mean Maggie.

Mm-Hmm?

Or someone of that quality.

So we go to the bub club,

and then she shows up.

Maggie?

Yeah.

Maggie Johnston...

Looking so foxy, as always...

And I'm sensing that she's

really into me as well.

You know, so we go, we hit the dance

floor, and it's lining up nice

Because... we're both

really good dancers.

And I have to dance twice as hard to

compete with these younger guys, you know?

I mean, I'm not as fresh as I used

to be, now that I'm all fat and old.

Right.

And then it's closing

time, and I ask her

To come home with me, but she

really wants to keep partying.

And there's an after party at her
