Thelma and Louise Page #6

Practically the whole place "whoops" and heads for the dance

floor. Louise drinks her shot of tequila and holds up her

glass, too.

LATER:

Thelma is dancing with Harlan and has been for quite a while.

Louise has been dancing with a quiet guy named DAN. Thelma

is breathless, drunk and giggly. She holds a beer bottle in

one hand. She is laughing a lot about nothing, and Harlan

is studying her closely. Louise notices this.

LOUISE:

(over the noise)

Thelma, I'm gonna hit the little

girls' room, and then we gotta hit

the road.

THELMA:

(eyes closed, swaying

with the music)

Ready when you are.

Louise heads off to the bathroom.

THELMA:

(eyes still closed)

Louise, I'm gonna come with you.

(she gets a funny

look on her face)

I don't feel so good.

She stumbles a step and drops her beer bottle.

Louise is heading towards the bathroom, where there is a

line of at least fifteen women in front of her.

HARLAN:

(catching Thelma,

copping feels)

Oopsy-doopsy. We need to get you

some fresh air, little lady.

He steers her towards the door.

Louise leans against the wall, waiting in line.

CUT TO:

EXT. SILVER BULLET PARKING LOT - NIGHT

Harlan is hauling Thelma out the door into the parking lot.

She is pretty limp.

THELMA:

Oh sh*t.

HARLAN:

What's wrong?

THELMA:

Stop.

HARLAN:

What for?

THELMA:

I'm spinning.

INT. SILVER BULLET - NIGHT

The Waitress is going over to their table. She picks up

Thelma's purse off the floor and puts it on her chair.

She sets the check on the table, looks around to see if she

can see them and walks away.

INT. BATHROOM - NIGHT

Louise goes into the bathroom. She stands in front of the

sink and looks at herself in the mirror.

EXT. PARKING LOT - NIGHT

Thelma has been sick. She has Harlan's handkerchief and is

wiping her mouth. Harlan has backed off for this part, but

he's right back in there.

HARLAN:

How you feelin' now, darlin'?

Harlan is leaning close to Thelma's head, and she pulls her

head away.

THELMA:

I guess I'm startin' to feel a little

better.

HARLAN:

Yeah, you're startin' to feel pretty

good to me, too.

He pulls her to him and tries to put his arms around her.

Thelma pulls away.

THELMA:

(uncomfortable)

I think I need to keep walking.

INT. SILVER BULLET - NIGHT

Louise comes out of the bathroom as the next woman goes in.

She scans the room looking for Thelma. She doesn't see her.

She goes over to the table and sees Thelma's stuff there.

She picks up the check and looks at it.

EXT. SILVER BULLET PARKING LOT - NIGHT

Harlan has led Thelma off to the far end of the parking lot.

He is trying to kiss her now. He is pushing her arms down

and turning her head away.
