The Yellow Handkerchief Page #4

Synopsis: One lazy afternoon in a backwater Louisiana town, Martine takes a leap into an unfamiliar convertible. The driver, Gordy, an awkward young itinerant who eyed her in the diner earlier, isn't displeased to find this pretty sylph in his front seat. Soon they meet Brett, a laconic, humble man just released from prison. Martine isn't keen on going solo with Gordy, and now it's raining cats and dogs, so she invites Brett along, and the unlikely trio sets out, each person unsure of the destination. What ensues is a journey through the lush green byways of rural Louisiana and into the depths of these characters' souls.

Yeah, I probably should,

but I don't.

I know.

It's worth more than most here.

You want to go out

and test the boats before you leave?

Yeah, sure.

# Do, Lord, do, Lord #

# Do, Lord, do, Lord #

# Oh, do, Lord,

remember me #

# When I'm on my knees #

Don't you know that

when you read a map,

you keep it pointed

in the direction you're going?

You turn it when we turn

and you read it

from the top to the bottom.

Just read it

from the top to the bottom.

I have totally been reading it that way.

You don't have to yell at me like that.

I don't know

how we could've gotten so lost

when we had the river

to the left at all times.

Well, you know,

you read the map then!

I'm not your maid.

Is there a bathroom?!

Please, is there a bathroom,

please?!

Hello?!

Please, is there a bathroom?!

Anyone?!

Oh.

God, he's such a loser.

We're gonna need some help.

Maybe he ate some bad crawfish.

Anybody here?

No, no one.

We got a problem.

Oil leak.

- There's a leak?

- Pretty serious.

No--I can take care of that.

I pretty much built this car.

You always this talkative?

Nope.

How long do you go out on the rig for?

Oh, month, usually.

Why did you come here

to this part of the world?

A mistake.

You think?

Yeah.

Then again, I never thought through

a major decision in my life, so...

So that's it then.

Yep.

So?

Not much to say after that one, huh?

Nope.

I think I can go one better.

What?

I don't think I've ever made

a major decision in my life.

Geez, I wish I had a cig.

Don't look.

All right.

No. Come on, guess.

You know what it is

if you think about it.

What do you like?

It's a plant.

No.

But it comes from a plant.

You're hot. Very hot.

Well, thank you.

Oh, please.

What did you want?

Oh! Well.

Oh, well.

Mmm.

I like your face.

Hey! Hey!

Stop!

Sh*t!

Who are you with?

I'll fix it

when you're gone tomorrow.

Could you leave, please?

Please.

I checked my messages at home.

Nothing.

I'm glad everybody's

so worried about me.

We could just keep going.

I could live with you.

You could take care of me.

Do a staring contest with me.

What is he doing?

He's not so bad.

I think you should

cut him some slack.

Me?

I mean,

he's the one who tried to rape me.

Oh, get off it.

I guess he's just--he is pathetic.

I wouldn't use that word.

I'd say young...

for his age.

I don't think he could

quite handle your...

My what?

My battery's dead in my phone.

I can't believe

neither of you have a cell phone.

Horror of all horrors.

Two human beings out of touch

with the rest of the universe.

I don't know how

you can even hang out with us.

That must be hard for you.

This is why they're useful.
