( ELECTRICITY BUZZING )
FEMALE REPORTER 2 (V.O.): So, Professor,
can you tell us a little about the victims?
PROFESSOR Well, The Reaper's victims

NATALIE (V.O.):
Hey, Mom, it's me, Natalie.I'm on my way with my friends.
They're giving me a ride all
the way to California.
Don't worry, I'll stay away
from strangers. I promise.
See you soon. I love you.
Hey, thanks for the lift.
Hey, come here often?
Yeah, they've got great... sand.
( LAUGHS )
So, are you gonna be
a smartass or a gentleman?
What's the difference?
opened my door right now.
This is either my lucky day...
some serious trouble.
But be warned...
the air conditioner in this thing
is broken, so it's kind of hot.
Been drinking?
Only since I woke up.
Rum's really the best way
to the pass the time.
Well, I guess drinking in the morning makes
you more of a pirate than an alcoholic.
Arrgh! Let's plot a course.
As far west as my captain
is willing to take me.
You got it.
( COUNTRY ROCK MUSIC PLAYING )
[BILL] So, what's your story?
Oh, are we gonna play the
getting to know each other game?
I like games. All right,
let's see here.
Searching or running?
Pretty girl like you hitchhiking
out here in the middle of nowhere.
I'm guessing you're either
running from your old life...
or you're searching
for your new life, right?
Yeah, I kinda like me as I am.
Oh, no complaints here.
But that doesn't mean you're
telling the truth.
So how long have you
been a salesman for?
How did you know that?
Beat up company car, old suit...
and I'd bet you'd have a conversation
with a brick wall if you had to.
I sell air conditioners.
But your own AC doesn't work?
I, uh... in-home air
conditioners.
Sounds fun.
Oh, it is. It's a hoot.
I love it.
Driving from one crappy town
to the next crappy town...
to crappy people.
Well, it pays the bills.
Yes, it pays the bills.
Pays the Bill. Me.
You got a name?
Sure do.
You gonna keep me guessing?
I'll give you a hint.
Sounds like "Sheryl."
I like the sound of that.
No, no, I got it, I got it,
kiddo, I got it.
Now where were we?
I was about to get out.
Now why would you go
and do that?
Because you almost
just killed us.
Relax, have a drink.
