Going Places (2025)

Post by bunniefuu »

(SOULFUL MUSIC PLAYING)

JADEN: Yeah,

it's honestly such a relief

to get to

the residential college I want.

CORA: I got my last choice.

JADEN : Yo, I'm on

the subreddit, like,

all the time

trying to see if I'll like it.

CORA: I don't even care

what dorm I'm in,

I'm just excited

to get the f*ck out of here.

JADEN: I don't even know

how I'm gonna live

without air conditioning.

But that's like a small

price to pay, I guess.

CORA: A modern day martyr.

Seriously. What school

can't afford air conditioning?

Dude, it's old, man.

It's founded in...

Okay, I didn't ask for this.

And I didn't ask for

a detailed investigation

of the trivialities

of ancient dorm rooms,

but f*cking, here we are.

At residential colleges, Otis.

You know, once you

decide on the place,

you'll be the same.

Hey, school literally

starts in two weeks.

Have you heard

about the wait list?

This whole process

is so f*cked.

-Trust me, I know.

-You got into Cornell.

Okay, but it's

not Northwestern.

Yeah, but, Cornell is an Ivy.

But Medill is the best.

Oh, yeah, I forgot.

Only Northwestern

can teach you

how to write

the perfect listicle.

Ten TikTokers to follow today

who have huge vines.

That's honestly

not a bad idea.

Okay, journalism

is more than listicles.

OTIS: That's breaking news

to me.

So, uh, what are you gonna

do if you fail in mid-century?

Ah! Cora!

I still have a good feeling

about it.

I don't really have a plan.

But I'll probably just

go to community college

or something.

You know I have

my heart set on that.

Otis, that's so stupid.

You have to have a plan.

I mean, you got in some

really good schools.

Yeah, sure.

Is college really the only thing

we're capable of talking about?

I really thought we were

more interesting than that.

Okay, well,

New Haven is interesting.

OTIS: Oh, my f*cking Lord.

New Haven.

JADEN: The best school

I've ever seen

in my entire life.

New Haven.

New Haven, baby!

-Ooh!

-JADEN: What?

The itinerary has

come out to play.

Okay, you guys laugh now,

but when we wake up

tomorrow morning

with 10

breakfast burrito options in

the middle of the desert,

you'll be begging for more.

Begging for more?

From your itinerary?

You really do like to flirt

with me, don't you?

There's no pressure.

-Hey, you never

flirt with me.

-You're straight.

Jeez, I dare you to say that

with less derision.

Well, I mean,

you're just as straight.

Well, at least I'm not

a straight white male.

That's got to be the most

unequivocally boring demo.

OTIS: Did you just categorize me

as a demo?

Look, straight is straight.

All right?

Well, I kissed Millie

at the after prom, remember?

Man, we all remember.

That doesn't really count.

Okay. Why do you get

to decide on what counts?

-Because...

-You just get to label me?

Okay. As the only person

in the car who hasn't

kissed someone

-of the same sex...

-Or the opposite,

for that matter.

It hasn't been

for lack of opportunity.

-Oh, f*ck off.

-Uh-huh.

-Damn, this is a tome.

-All right, relax.

I feel like that's

giving him more credit

than what it's worth.

I mean...

I mean, A Little Life

is a tome, or w*r and Peace.

This is a separate Yellow Pages.

I mean, the amount

of f*cking paper.

Otis?

-OTIS: What's up?

-Otis, are you

f*cking smoking, dude?

-You can't f*cking

smoke that in here.

-OTIS: Hey, hey.

-My dad's gonna k*ll me.

-I thought this was your car.

Dude, that's different, man.

Dude, you're literally gonna be

on the other side

of the country next week.

Give me that.

Give me that.

Finally, some f*cking

common sense. Jesus.

-Come on. Really? Cora!

-(GIGGLES)

-(LAUGHS) Sorry.

-Cora, come on.

Yo. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hold up, guys.

This says you have

an itinerary to masturbate.

Okay. No, I don't.

-Says otherwise here.

"Chop morning wood, 9:00 a.m."

-Shut up!

-I do not have

a masturbation itinerary, Otis!

-(CORA LAUGHS)

Yeah, you do.

CORA: Ew!

It's f*cking heavy.

OTIS: It's probably

costing us extra gas.

CORA:

It's a lot of jacking off.

JADEN:

Oh, my God.

(HIP HOP MUSIC PLAYING)

(LAUGHING)

(SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY)

(ALL EXCLAIMING INDISTINCTLY)

(MUSIC STOPS)

Um...

Guys, I think...

I think we're lost.

Guys... Here...

Can someone check

the nav for me, please?

The nav? The nav?

Somebody? Anybody? Thank you.

Okay. Um...

(HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYS ON PHONE)

No, I need a navigator,

not a DJ.

SATNAV VOICE:

In 500 feet, turn left.

Just follow the directions.

That's what I'm trying to do.

-Turn left...

-Yo, just relax.

Okay, I do not need

to relax like that, Otis.

I'll be fine once I know

where I'm going.

Okay, we know

where we're going.

-We f*cking don't.

-Turn left.

Dude, just look at

your itinerary.

Dude, the itinerary doesn't

tell me how the f*ck

to get there, Otis.

Oh, so you're just saying

that it'll be easier if

we're all in your phone.

Just admit it,

I'll give it back.

f*ck you, Otis. Cora, can you

just please grab my phone?

I'm not defending

your itinerary.

-Turn right.

-(OTIS HOWLING)

-Otis...

-Make a U-turn.

Ow! Okay, okay. All right.

-Make a U-turn.

-Give me my phone.

-Make a U-turn.

-CORA: Look out!

-(CAR HITS OBJECT)

-(BRAKES SCREECH)

-Make a U-turn.

-What the f*ck was that?

What the f*ck?

Maybe it was

a pole or something?

Poles don't walk out

in the middle of the road.

I'm sorry for trying

to be an optimist.

Hello, Jaden. Where'd you go?

-This is all your fault.

-My fault? I wasn't driving.

Exactly. Someone could

have been looking at my phone.

Oh, come on. You always know

where you're going.

-(HORN BEEPS)

-f*ck, man. f*ck!

Okay, we don't even know

what you hit yet.

No. Hell, no.

Hell, no. We hit it.

I didn't do anything.

We all did it.

You guys, it was probably

just a deer.

Oh, f*ck.

You think it was a deer?

Oh, my God, I hope not.

I f*cking hope not. I like deer.

I'm not a hunter.

I've never even

like entertained the idea

about hunting,

or anything like that.

(MUTTERS INDISTINCTLY)

I don't think I'll be

the same after this.

-Are you done?

-Yeah. Maybe.

I don't f*cking know.

Okay, we don't even know

if it's dead yet.

Okay? Come on.

OTIS: Let's go check.

Oh, sh*t.

(CAR DOOR SHUTS)

-f*ck!

-Oh!

(GASPING)

OTIS: f*ck...

Oh, f*ck. I take it all back.

I wish it was a f*cking deer.

I take it all back.

CORA: Is she...

Oh, f*ck.

(JADEN GAGS)

(JADEN RETCHING)

(COUGHING)

JADEN: I am so f*cking screwed.

God, I'm going to f*cking jail.

I'm going to f*cking jail.

It's now the wrong time

for a g*y prison joke?

-What the f*ck do you think?

-Maybe she's alive?

f*cking look at her.

CORA: We have to

call the police.

Smelling like some

f*cking Snoop Dogg,

Martha Stewart,

f*cking cannabis air diffuser

or some sh*t? Like...

You didn't smoke anything.

Do you think

they'll believe that?

OTIS: What the hell?

It must have

bounced off Jaden's car.

Oh, it's f*cking heavy.

Ooh. Holy sh*t. Look.

CORA: Oh!

Dude, there's like

hundreds of thousands

of dollars in there.

No f*cking way.

Who cares? Who cares?

I'm gonna be arrested.

I'm gonna be arrested and...

And Yale is going to

rescind my application.

Dude, you're a g*y,

Black valedictorian,

and you're, like,

top javelin thrower

in California.

Yale's not gonna revoke

your admission.

Okay, Fox News,

pretty sure manslaughter

would do it.

Also, third top javelin thrower.

And I'm pretty sure

there's 49 other states

that we have to worry about.

Oh, my God, my dad's gonna

f*cking k*ll me.

Listen, okay,

it's only manslaughter

if she dies.

We have to call

a f*cking ambulance.

It doesn't matter, Cora.

I'm screwed either way.

Once they figure out

I was the one who was driving

when we hit her,

it'll be everywhere,

and they'll never

let me enroll.

What about the money?

Who f*cking cares

about the money?

It's literally hundreds

of thousands of dollars.

CORA: Don't take my word

on that.

I don't... Oh, f*ck!

JADEN: All right, let's just...

Let me take her

to the hospital.

We'll drop her off, and then...

And then,

we'll make a run for it.

No, I really don't think

that's gonna be a good idea.

That's stupid.

OTIS: Where the f*ck did she

even come from?

All right. Okay, um...

Let's at least get her

in the car, then...

Here, help me.

Help me move her over.

Dude...

JADEN: Just...

Just roll her over.

CORA: So we're leaving

a crime scene.

f*cking saving her life.

-One, two, three.

-CORA: Got me in the head.

-JADEN: Sorry. All right.

-Come on.

JADEN: Maybe we'll just,

you know, put her

in the trunk.

No, I don't feel good

about that.

Just in case we get pulled over.

-No.

-Yes.

CORA: Oh, sh*t, the bags.

JADEN: Are you f*cking

kidding me?

CORA: The bags! f*ck!

JADEN: God!

OTIS: All right, look,

we don't got time for this.

-Put her in the back.

-JADEN: Oh, my gosh.

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, my gosh.

(JADEN STRAINING

AND GRUNTING)

sh*t! (GRUNTS)

Okay. Here, get her legs.

Just get her legs.

Get her legs.

CORA: I'm trying.

OTIS: Come on,

just get her over.

JADE: Yeah, okay.

OTIS: I'll put the money in.

Come on.

JADEN: Damn it! What?

OTIS: f*ck.

JADEN: Christ, I'm trying...

OTIS: Dude,

she's f*cking

leaning on me.

Oh, f*ck!

JADEN: My car's all f*cked up.

Dude...

JADEN: (PANTING) Okay...

-(CAR ENGINE STALLS)

-JADEN: Come on.

-Just start the f*cking car.

Come on, let's go.

-JADEN: I'm trying, dude.

-CORA: Go!

-I'm trying to start it.

(CAR STALLING)

-Start the f*cking car.

Come on, dude.

-JADEN: Don't f*cking do this!

JADEN: Come on,

come on, come on!

-(CAR STARTS)

-f*cking go!

Let's get out of here. f*ck!

(CAR SCREECHING)

(TENSE MUSIC PLAYING)

CORA: Hey, what are you doing?

I'm putting on her seatbelt.

Oh, I'm so glad we're now

so concerned with her safety.

-(CELL PHONE RINGING)

-What the...

CORA: Who do you think that is?

Oh, my God.

They're calling her

extended car warranty...

-Who gives a f*ck?

-sh*t. Someone could be

tracking her.

Okay, nobody is tracking her.

How do you know?

What makes you so sure?

Okay, Otis.

What are you gonna do?

Do not answer that phone.

Hey, don't be an idiot, Otis!

OTIS: Do you guys have gloves?

Oh, yeah. Let me just check

my glove box surgery kit.

OTIS: Uh...

CORA: Whoa.

What are you doing?

-What's going on?

-CORA: Hey!

-Eyes on the road this time,

Jaden! God damn it!

-JADEN: You're right.

-There, all done.

-What?

Was that really necessary?

-I think so.

-Then why didn't you

just break it?

I'm not a criminal

mastermind here.

-f*ck!

-You're f*cking stupid.

f*ck you!

sh**t me. Just sh**t me now.

Okay, the hospital's

five minutes away.

We're still keeping

the money, though, right?

Okay, I don't think

that's a good idea.

Why not? We drop her off

and she won't know

what hit her, literally.

The minute she wakes up,

she's gonna be looking

for that money.

And I don't think we want

to give her, or the police

any more motivation

to find us.

Okay. Look, she is

obviously a criminal.

She probably won't even

tell anybody.

Oh, great. Now we have

a criminal after us?

I already feel so much better.

Uh, guys... She's not breathing.

-CORA: What?

-She's... She's not...

She's not f*cking breathing.

I think she's dead.

Like really, really,

really dead.

Oh, God!

f*cking damn it, man!

Man, this is getting

f*cking worse!

We're moving a dead body

from a crime scene.

It's pretty rock bottom.

Okay, look, we can't bring her

to a hospital.

They can't do anything for her.

She's f*cking deceased.

Okay, we don't know that yet.

No, no, he's right.

He is right. Okay?

There are cameras.

We can't just chuck a body

out of the car and run.

Okay, I... I don't...

I don't think it's too late

to call the police.

What? And lose the money?

Dude, who cares about

the f*cking money, Otis?

I'm not gonna be able

to go to Yale.

-And we'll probably go to

f*cking jail.

-Calm down, Dr. Seuss.

Maybe they'll throw you

in a New Haven jail,

and you can still tell people

you're moving to New Haven.

Okay, this isn't

f*cking funny, Otis.

You're an accessory,

too, you know.

All right. I think we should

just go to the Airbnb.

Oh, we just ignore it

and continue our trip?

It'll give us a place

and some time

to figure out what to do.

And by figure out,

you mean dispose of

a f*cking body.

OTIS: I have not said that yet.

Oh, my God.

I should've just stayed at home

on f*cking Reddit, man.

This whole thing was your idea.

Yeah, because I wanted

to spend one more weekend

with the two people that...

You know what?

Just f*cking forget it.

Okay? f*cking forget it.

Unfortunately, I forgot

to pencil in the manslaughter.

That's literally

the definition of manslaughter.

You can't pencil it in.

OTIS: Are you sure

you didn't plan on k*lling

anybody tonight?

JADEN: The photos

looked pretty cool

during the day.

CORA: Wait, is someone home?

JADEN: No. There's no way.

They said the key

would be under the mat.

Hello? Oh...

SUE: Hallelujah.

This must be Jaden.

-Yeah.

-Well, well, well. Howdy.

-Hi. We just found it, you know.

-Oh.

Is everything okay?

Of course. Why...

Why wouldn't it be?

I was starting to think

you weren't gonna show.

Oh, no, we just

hit someone...

We hit some traffic.

Well, don't make no...

Never mind.

Oh, sorry for not

leaving the keys,

but I like to put

a face to a name.

Yeah, it makes sense.

Alrighty.

-Those your friends?

-JADEN: Yeah.

Yeah. Um...

That's Cora, and that is Otis.

Otis. All right, howdy.

Round them up.

It's tour time!

-Tour time?

-Mmm-hmm.

JADEN: Tour time. Tour time!

-Let's do a tour.

-(SUE LAUGHS)

Mi casa es su casa.

-And that's because

my name's Sue.

-(JADEN CHUCKLES)

-Watch your step there.

-Yeah, of course. Yeah.

SUE: Make way for ducklings.

Nobody here ever says that.

-We're covered in blood.

-Pretty sure

she can't even see.

CORA: That's not much of

an insurance policy.

Insurance?

Yeah, I got insurance.

Honey, this place is

probably worth more to me

as a claim than a rental.

(CORA CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY)

SUE: How old are you three?

JADEN: Uh, we're... We're 18.

Oh, to be 18!

You got your whole lives

ahead of you.

That's what

they keep telling us.

(SIGHS)

So, how long have you

owned this place?

Oh, about 30 years.

Been trying to

get rid of it for 29.

Uh-huh. Is that a puzzle?

Why, yes, it is.

It's a puzzle

and a photograph.

I took it myself out here

on the Great Frontier.

CORA: Oh.

JADEN: Uh-huh.

I slapped a filter on it.

Bam! That's art.

I didn't even know

you could do that.

-Oh, sure.

-Uh, I'd love to hear more.

Well, it's not really

that complicated.

You just got to first...

You gotta pick your

jigsaw configuration.

Hey, Otis and Jaden.

Do you mind go getting the bags

while I learn about

my new found passion?

Thank you.

Yeah, so...

Jigsaw configuration?

sh*t, sh*t, sh*t!

f*ck! Now what the f*ck

do we do?

Let's take the bags

out of the trunk

and put the body in there.

-Come on.

-Yes, yes, let's do that.

All right. Okay.

sh*t, what the f*ck?

This bag is heavier

than I thought.

What's in here

that's 25 pounds?

Well, f*cking get it.

Come on, let's go.

You're f*cking right.

SUE: See, that's...

I call that "Desert Song."

-CORA: Mm-hmm.

-'Cause the wind was blowing.

I was with somebody special.

Uh-huh?

You got somebody special?

I bet you do.

-No.

-I'm sure you do.

I don't know, maybe

one of them fellas.

-But it's none of my business.

-No, we're just friends.

-So then, it comes to you

all jumbled up, right?

-Mmm-hmm.

And then you get to

put it together.

Get it all together.

-You know?

-Yeah.

That's what it's

all about, right?

Yeah, that's just...

That's really something.

You probably don't care.

But then...

Do you have any other pieces?

I do.

You want to see 'em?

-I'd love to.

-All right.

(CHUCKLES)

Wait a minute.

Those boys. They said they're

getting their own luggage?

Yeah, well, they're big kids.

They can handle it.

Yeah, but I can't afford it.

I can't afford it. Sorry.

Sorry.

I gotta put a stop to this.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, boys!

Think she's done with it?

Just...

OTIS: She's dead,

I know she's f*ck' dead.

Otis, be careful.

Grab this. Grab that.

Let me help you

with your luggage.

No, no, no. It's okay, Sue.

We got it. Thank you.

-f*ck!

-SUE: Five stars!

Get our bags when the lady goes.

SUE: All service counts.

JADEN: I'm f*cked!

SUE: I need five stars.

JADEN: Oh, f*ck!

SUE: What you got

in here, bricks?

CORA: In a word, yes.

-All right.

-JADEN: Thank you so much.

Y'all don't understand.

I need five stars or I'm f*cked.

JADEN: You need five stars?

Five stars?

Look, we got it.

We got you. We have you.

Look, look. Five stars.

All right?

-Enter it.

-Enter.

Click it. Go ahead.

No, click it again.

There you go. Get it.

-All right.

-JADEN: Yeah?

Thank you, kid.

Oh. Well, I'll be

getting out of your hair.

All right.

-Have a good old time.

-JADEN: You, too, Sue.

It's a nice house,

and it's...

-Oh!

-JADEN: Oh, sh*t, I didn't...

Whoa!

-Oh...

-You good?

Yeah, it's my drop foot.

JADEN: Your drop foot.

OTIS: I hate when that happens.

-Well, it comes from

not being 18 anymore.

-OTIS: Yeah.

Well, it's real pretty out.

Yeah. You're gonna

enjoy that house.

-You're gonna enjoy being 18.

-JADEN: We're gonna love it.

Oh, boy!

-Oh!

-(CARA WHISPERS INDISTINCTLY)

Phew!

-(CAR STARTING)

-ALL: Bye, Sue.

Watch this.

(OTIS SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

OTIS: Are you f*cking me?

-(WHIRRING)

-You don't see that much

anymore.

-I love that sound.

-OTIS: Does it always do this?

Whoo-hoo!

JADEN: That's fly, Sue.

That's real fly.

-All right, you three, have fun.

-CORA: Bye, Sue.

-And stay out of trouble.

-JADEN: All right.

Sue! Okay.

What the f*ck is

wrong with you guys?

(ALL ARGUING)

-OTIS: I'm getting it.

-(CORA GRUNTS)

Watch your step.

-Come on.

-CORA: Okay.

JADEN: Oh, my God.

I can't believe you haven't

grown out of that thing yet.

You used to love it.

You know it helps me think.

I'm pretty sure Aristotle

didn't use a skateboard.

That's just the dumbest thing

you ever said.

-That's not the dumbest...

-It's at least in the top three.

Okay, um...

Oh, sh*t!

Otis, what are you doing?

OTIS: I don't want

to lose my place.

-Are you kidding?

-JADEN: Whoa!

Do we really have time

to do that right now?

I think it'd be nice to know

what we're dealing with.

No, that's gonna make it

that much harder

to get rid of it.

-Get rid of it?

-BOTH: Yes!

JADEN: We don't know who she is.

We don't know where

this money came from.

And I can confidently say,

it's not worth it.

OTIS: That's just

a snap judgment.

-That's not a snap...

Don't judge my judgment.

-CORA: Please stop.

-You judge everything.

-JADEN: I don't judge...

-That's not true.

-CORA: Will you stop?

-Are you f*cking... Stop it.

-CORA: Stop.

-Quit it!

-Come on, you guys!

Let's change

out of these clothes.

-Please stop.

-f*ck off!

Come on. Come on!

Come on, Otis.

Please.

f*cking children!

JADEN: Seven, four, four.

Three, two.

-Five, nine, six, five.

-Dude, that's not funny.

Sixty-four, seventy-five...

That's not funny.

Ow! f*ck! We get it.

You throw things

fast and far, bro.

So sick.

(SIGHS DEEPLY) f*ck.

CORA: Something's wrong

with Otis.

What do you mean?

I've never seen him

this passionate about anything.

I mean... I mean, I guess.

I don't think he's ever seen

this much money before.

I haven't seen this

much money before, either.

It's a lot of money.

CORA: I'm not talking literally.

Otis doesn't want that.

Trust me. I've known him

almost my whole life.

Aside from the fact

that cash will dry up,

this affects all of us.

He could cost us

our f*cking lives.

Otis will never do that.

He may want the money,

but he doesn't need it.

CORA: I'm not saying

I don't want the money.

JADEN: Same here.

CORA: I'm just saying

we have to be careful.

JADEN: Be careful?

Well, you can stop saying it.

We've been best friends

since pre-K,

so I think I would know

if he was gonna

jeopardize us,

-or whatever you think

he's capable of doing.

-Okay.

JADEN: Thank you.

Uh, hey...

Hey, guys, come here.

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

What's wrong?

Her name's Maya Fenton.

Oh, my God,

that just makes it

so much worse.

-Why?

-Because she has a name.

Of course she has a name!

Yeah, that's not much

of a plot twist.

Maya Fenton?

-That's weird.

-JADEN: What?

She's in recycling.

-Oh, f*ck.

-CORA: What?

No one is just in recycling.

Come on, man.

What are you saying?

That she's...

She's in the mob

or something?

Yeah, that's exactly

what I'm saying.

Recycling is

waste management.

You think we ran over

Tony Soprano?

I mean, who in

the recycling business

carries a million dollars

in a briefcase?

Wait, is that

how much money

they raise?

-Just about.

-f*ck.

That's a lot of

five cent bottle deposits.

Okay, we have to

return this money.

OTIS: To who?

JADEN: The mob?

Well, yeah.

Let me just dial up

1800 mob for you.

Okay, stop.

I'm serious.

And how do you think

that will really play out?

Even if we are unlucky

enough to find them?

Guys, why didn't

we just leave?

Why didn't

we just call the cops?

And then what?

We get popped off for

k*lling one of their own?

I don't f*cking know.

I'm not an expert

in mob law.

Okay, listen. I think

our only option is to just

dispose of the body.

(SIGHS) Does anyone have

any other suggestions?

No dumb ideas.

You don't have to

raise your hand.

-Go ahead.

-Vat of acid.

-JADEN: Okay,

calm down, Heisenberg.

-(SCOFFS) God.

OTIS: Where are you going?

To the acid store.

OTIS: Oh, I thought

you said there weren't

any bad ideas.

That's just something

people say.

Of course there's

f*cking bad ideas.

JADEN: Guys, guys...

Look, I'm looking on Google

and it says feeding the pigs

is a tested method

in corpse disposal.

-So maybe...

-My God, we're so f*cked.

Okay, look.

This is a big decision.

Let's just take a moment.

JADEN: Can you ever just

make a decision?

I said acid.

Oh, come on.

Can you be serious

for once in your life?

And what's that

supposed to mean, huh?

Nothing.

Nothing.

Do you even own

any other clothing?

(SIGHS IN EXASPERATION)

It's called

school spirit.

You don't even

go there yet.

How are you so spirited

about something

you don't even know?

JADEN: Okay, that's

f*cking ridiculous.

It's Yale.

Everybody knows

about Yale.

Okay, I... I think we need

to cover her up or something.

f*ck. Yeah,

let's use this.

So you guys think that

Sue made this quilt, or...

I don't think you can

buy a quilt like that.

I mean, it doesn't

really help, does it?

-Yeah...

-No, it doesn't.

Definitely doesn't.

It's gonna start

to smell soon.

-It's just, you know...

-Yeah, I know.

What?

I mean, are we sure

she's dead?

Considering none of us

are doctors, or nurses,

or EMTs,

and we chose not

to go to the hospital...

Right, because

she wasn't breathing.

Because Otis said

she wasn't breathing.

What's that

supposed to mean?

Why don't you go over there

and check her pulse

or whatever?

Okay.

Yeah, she's dead.

Should have been a doctor.

CORA: Let's not go that far.

OTIS: Hey, what's wrong?

JADEN: What's wrong, Otis?

(CORA SIGHS)

I have to call my dad.

But you can't do that.

-He'll help us.

-OTIS: No, he won't.

Yes, he...

What the f*ck

would you know?

Otis, what are you...

Otis! Wh...

-Sorry. It's for your own good.

-What are you f*cking doing?

-OTIS: I'm sorry.

-This mo...

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

-JADEN: Otis, stop playing.

-I'm sorry.

Don't hit the dead body.

-OTIS: Sorry. I'm sorry.

-Otis, what the...

It's for your own good.

JADEN: What the...

Otis!

Please!

(THUDDING)

Why the f*ck would

you do that, Otis?

You're making

a fear-based decision.

It's my decision. Of course

it's f*cking fear based.

Once you tell him,

you can never un-tell him.

What makes you the authority

on father-son relationships?

This has nothing to do

with me or my authority.

Just tell me I'm wrong.

(CORA SIGHS)

Yours if you want to.

(THUDDING)

Otis, can you please

stop doing that?

I told you, it helps me think.

Well, then what have

you got for us?

OTIS: I say we bury her.

After a few hundred ollies,

that's really the best

you can come up with?

OTIS: Occam's razor.

Let's see if we can

find a shovel.

CORA: You can't seriously

be on board with this.

Bingo.

What are you gonna do,

build a sandcastle?

You hated my acid idea.

And I don't see

any pigs around here,

and I'm pretty sure

dismembering is off the table.

(OTIS SIGHS)

You know we don't

have to do any of this.

You're the one who said

we need to dispose of the body.

That makes us guilty.

We're f*cking guilty as is.

(SIGHS)

Innocent until proven, though.

Are we f*cking

delusional, Jaden?

OTIS: Okay.

What's the best case scenario

if we call the cops now, truly?

CORA: We all get clemency

for manslaughter,

if they believe

our read ridiculous-sounding,

mind-numbingly stupid story.

And if we don't,

we all go to jail

for tampering with evidence,

fleeing a crime scene

and m*rder.

Or we bury this,

take the money,

and move on.

Yeah. Yeah.

That's the best we got.

Well, isn't that a polite

euphemism for "we're f*cked"?

(CRICKETS CHIRPING)

JADEN: sh*t.

You know what?

You f*cking do it.

-Why me?

-Because it was your idea.

OTIS: What about

all the bulking?

It's f*cking freezing, dude.

We don't all have

to be out here.

OTIS: f*ck you guys.

-JADEN: It's a hard knock life.

-(OBJECTS CLATTERING)

Okay. (SIGHS IN EXASPERATION)

(THUDDING)

-(CORA GASPS)

-JADEN: sh*t.

(OTIS GROANS)

CORA: We should

probably help him.

Really?

It's probably just

as cold in here.

(OTIS GROANS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

(SHOVEL CLINKS)

JADEN: Otis, what you doing?

I'm laying here.

JADEN: Otis, get up.

(SIGHS)

JADEN: Come on, dude. Get up.

(GRUNTS) Thanks.

JADEN: Take the

f*cking shovel, too.

Start digging right there

with Cora.

OTIS: Um...

Do this.

(TREMOLO PLAYING)

I defend my peace

Trample on my soul

And I'll defend my peace

Gimme my body, gimme my mind

Gimme my body, gimme my mind

Tremolo my soul

Gimme my body, gimme my mind

Tremolo my soul

Nah ag, soul, nah ah soul

Nah ah, soul, tremolo my soul

Nah ah, soul, nah, soul

Nah ah, tremolo my soul

Nah ah, soul, nah ah, soul

Nah ah, tremolo my soul

Nah ah

Nah ah

It's glowing

Just glowing, yeah

-Addicted to the light...

-(SONG ENDS ABRUPTLY)

-Oh my God.

-(SHOVEL CLANGS)

-What the f*ck?

-Think the battery's dead.

OTIS: Are you

f*cking kidding me?

JADEN: You know what?

You know what?

I got it. I got it.

You guys can thank me

for always being prepared.

OTIS: Yeah. Don't pull a muscle.

-What?

-From sucking yourself off.

Okay, You know what?

If it wasn't for me,

we'd all be f*cking

screwed right now.

Okay, we're still

screwed, idiots.

We need two cars to do that.

and as far as I can see,

which isn't very far,

that's not happening.

(CRICKETS CHIRPING)

We don't even have a grave.

-We have something.

-Wow.

This is taking

longer than I thought.

All right. Come on.

Let's just try it.

Let's grab her.

JADEN: Just throw her legs

on the far side.

Get her legs on the far side.

That's the for the best.

-Yeah? Okay.

-OTIS: All right.

-Three, two, one.

-(ALL GRUNT)

Right. All Right.

It's in there.

-Just kick the dirt on her?

-Well, I don't f*ck...

CORA: Are you serious?

OTIS: It's a test.

Kick some.

Get some on his side.

-All right.

-All right.

-I think it works.

-JADEN: What?

CORA: One drizzle

and you can spot her

from f*cking Google Earth.

We do not have time

for this sh*t right now.

Well, now what the f*ck

do we do?

CORA: We have to take her

back to the house.

OTIS: f*ck!

JADEN: (SCOFFS)

It looks so far away.

OTIS: (SIGHS) All right.

Jaden, f*cking grab her.

Let's go.

OTIS: f*ck.

CORA: I don't believe this.

OTIS: (GROANS) f*ck!

(COUGHS)

JADEN: Cora, what are you doing?

-Covering our literal tracks.

-JADEN: Smart.

OTIS: I can't see sh*t.

JADEN: Nobody expects you

to have night vision, Otis.

OTIS: You didn't have to leave

the f*cking car on.

JADEN: What did you

expect us to do, huh?

Dig in the dark?

It's better than f*cking

walking in the dark.

JADEN: Your hindsight always

seems to be 20-20, doesn't it?

CORA: Stop arguing, please.

We're all equally stupid

and all equally f*cked,

and we're all probably

going to jail.

OTIS: Yeah, with that

f*cking attitude.

JADEN: No, it's not about

the f*cking attitude, Otis.

She's right.

We're so royally f*cked.

-(THUDS)

-OTIS: Oh, f*ck!

g*dd*mn it!

JADEN: Otis.

CORA: Don't fall on top of her!

JADEN: Otis, what the f*ck

are you... Otis!

(OTIS YELPS)

JADEN: Jesus Christ!

OTIS: I think I broke something.

CORA: We have

a dead f*cking body.

And you're having fun.

JADEN: Shut the f*ck up, Cora.

-JADEN: Come on, let's go.

-(PANTING)

CORA: Oh, sh*t.

(JADEN GRUNTING)

(WIND BLOWING)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)

(MATCH STRIKES)

-(FIRE BLOWS)

-sh*t.

We'll burn the house down.

Yeah.

We'll say she broke in here,

there was a scuffle

and the house went up in flames.

Scuffles don't lead

to spontaneous combustion.

Okay. Okay.

Okay, then. Um...

We'll say that this

got knocked over.

-CORA: A candle?

-Yeah.

(SNIFFS)

Our entire futures ride

on some f*cking

cough syrup-scented candle?

I do not think

this is a good idea.

JADEN: It's the best we've got.

Seriously. Like,

there'll be no evidence.

And the cops will think that

the cash just burned up

in the house.

What about that nice woman?

What was her name?

-Sheila?

-JADEN: Sue.

She'll be fine.

And she practically asked to

burn the house down, remember?

That is true.

And it's not like

the fire will spread.

-There's nothing for miles.

-Oh. So we're arsonists now.

It's better than murderers.

The two aren't

mutually exclusive.

Okay, fine.

What do you suppose we do?

I still think

we go to the police.

-Are you f*cking serious?

-Yes.

What about the money?

JADEN: Who cares

about the money, Otis?

-It's a million dollars.

-This is our lives.

Lives that would be better

with a million dollars.

CORA: I don't think

it's too late.

I still think we can

come up with something.

JADEN: Aren't you a journalist?

How does this

pan out? Seriously.

We'll say that we had no service

and we couldn't get a hold

of an ambulance.

Is 911 on any

of our phone records?

Did we even try to call

on the way over here?

We could just say we're kids,

and that we got scared.

JADEN: Cora, we're 18.

That's real sh*t.

We're adults.

And let's not forget that

someone's probably

still looking for that money.

And whoever turns her in,

will be at the top

of their list.

(GROANS)

Fine. Arson it is.

JADEN: Arson it is.

And a home invasion.

(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

(OBJECTS BREAKING)

Fly stuck in my room,

buzzing around

Getting on my nerves

Know it, I know it

I know it, I know

I know he's gone

I know he's gone

Know it, I know it

I know it, I know

(SQUEALS)

I know he's gone

I know he's gone

Know it, I know it

I know it, I know

I know he's gone

I know he's gone

Can't see me

for another problem

Never let

your feelings show...

JADEN: f*ck me.

(CORA GROANS)

-CORA: Um, time to go.

-Yeah, Yeah.

-Come on, Otis.

-CORA: Come on.

OTIS: I'm coming.

Otis, the mo... Come on, Dude.

OTIS: I'm coming.

-CORA: Oh, my...

-Otis!

Let me get the money.

-That's it?

-I guess so.

Occam's razor.

(MUFFLED COUGHING)

Did you hear that?

-You gotta be kidding me.

-She's alive?

We have to put out the fire.

We have to put out the fire.

-Are we sure?

-Yes! We can't k*ll her.

She's gonna burn alive!

She chooses to wake up now?

OTIS: sh*t.

MAYA: Where the f*ck am I?

(COUGHING)

(GRUNTING)

-Help us!

-OTIS: I am!

Oh, sh*t.

JADEN: Why you tying her up?

OTIS: She could be dangerous.

MAYA: Jules,

I'm gonna f*cking k*ll you!

Who the hell is Jules? f*ck!

She's gonna suffocate!

(GASPS) Jake.

Thank God you're okay.

Mama's here. Mama's right here.

Who the f*ck

are you talking to, lady?

JADEN: What the f*ck?

sh*t! f*ck!

f*ck.

(COUGHING)

(ALL BREATHING HEAVILY)

-You guys good?

-Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, f*ck.

What the f*ck

do we do with her now?

(ALL SIGHING)

CORA: Okay. What's our story?

-What?

-CORA: For when she wakes up.

OTIS: Hey, did anyone else

hear her call me Jake?

I'm sure she was just in shock.

Okay. Why don't we just say that

we found her

on the side of the road?

She's not gonna believe that.

If she asks,

we don't know anything

about the briefcase or money.

She's not gonna let

a million dollars

escape from her that easily.

Well, she kind of already did.

We can't just get rid of it.

That's not what I'm saying.

(WOMAN GASPING)

-(YELPS)

-(THUDS)

(WOMAN GRUNTS)

f*ck.

Hello?

Get over here,

you f*cking twerps!

Um, yeah. What's up?

A little help here.

Right. Right.

-You're gonna get her?

-Yeah. Okay.

You have one minute

to explain yourselves

before I brutally m*rder

each and every one of you.

It seems like

we're really the ones

in the position of power here.

Ah, the tough one. I will

rip your throat out first.

I'm only gonna ask nicely

one more time.

Where the f*ck am I?

So we actually just found you

on the side of the road.

-Bullshit!

-It's true.

Oh, really?

That's why I'm covered

in wet dirt?

You idiots tried

to bury me alive, didn't you?

And then what? Burn me alive?

That's ridiculous.

What's ridiculous is the amount

of pain and suffering

you are all in for.

OTIS: Lady, we're just

trying to help you.

Oh, that's why I am tied up

in what looks like

your granny's quilt?

I mean, you said

you'd f*cking k*ll us.

I think you need

to check your chronology.

Do you understand

how time works?

Wait, wait, wait.

What... What time is it?

It's like almost 11:00.

No, no, no.

No f*cking way.

Where's my car?

We didn't see it.

I need to get to my car now.

That's not happening.

No. Please, please, please.

You don't understand.

What don't we understand?

-(LAUGHS)

-What's so funny?

I'm f*cking dead!

Oh. I'm f*cking dead!

That is what we thought.

MAYA: No.

They will k*ll me and you

and you and you

and everyone you love or hate

or really anyone you know.

Well, who is they?

You need to let me go now.

It is not too late for me

to maybe get out of here

before they find us.

Seriously, who is they?

-Where's the briefcase?

-OTIS: Wait, what?

My briefcase.

We don't know

what you're talking about.

-It's right there.

-Jaden!

Okay, untie me,

give me the money

and maybe you'll live.

Just probably just gonna k*ll us

right on the spot.

It's a good thing my parents

forced me to take Krav Maga

to get my driver's license,

Not sure how those

two things are related,

but you're just gonna

have to rely on

my mercy here.

You're relying on our mercy,

the last time I checked,

because you never know

who you'll encounter

alone at night on the road.

Or who you'll hit.

Okay, we didn't hit you.

-Okay, we hit you.

-Jaden!

She says she's gonna k*ll us.

Who is looking for you?

You seem smart enough

to deduce whoever it is,

you don't want to know.

Does that explain why you're

in the middle of the road

with a briefcase

full of a million dollars?

I don't have to explain

myself to you.

Fine. Then I guess

we're at a standstill.

I'm not f*cking

Mother Goose here!

(SCREAMS)

Fine.

Earlier today,

I was supposed to drop

that briefcase in the copse.

-Copse?

-Yeah. Copse.

-Group of trees.

-Like a thicket?

-JADEN: No a copse.

-Like a grove?

-No, a f*cking copse.

-Or a forest?

-Too small to be a forest.

-It's too small to be a copse.

What are you, a group

of f*cking teenage arborists?

It's a group of g*dd*mn trees

by the g*dd*mn road.

(SIGHS)

It was a routine drop.

Nothing out of the ordinary,

at least not for Jules.

Jules has been my partner

for the last few years.

We had gotten close.

As close as she would allow.

Any plans this weekend?

No.

Come on. Nothing?

We're going to be late.

Now you ask me.

Ask you what?

Ask me if I have

any fun plans this weekend.

Do you have any

fun plans this weekend?

I do.

Jake and I are going on a trip.

Just the two of us.

Where to?

Wherever he wants.

Your whole life

revolves around that kid.

You know, if only he knew

what you did for him.

(CHUCKLES)

(DOOR CLOSES)

MAYA: I'm honestly surprised

she didn't see it coming,

us working so closely

must've clouded her judgment.

The plan was simple.

Until it got complicated.

I understand the script.

But this is ridiculous.

Good place to disappear.

Wouldn't you ever?

-What, disappear?

-Yeah.

You're practically

invisible anyways.

I mean get out of it.

This is all of it...

For me. I just...

Not having to report,

spend time with your family.

We're spending time

together now.

Right? Aren't we?

Don't get emotional.

It's never too late.

I didn't say that's why.

Why not?

Well, look at you.

Your life is centered

around some kid

who you have to lie to

every day of your life.

-I don't lie to him.

-That's a lie.

That's a f*cking lie.

I don't lie to anybody.

-(CHUCKLES)

-I live an honest life.

Says the woman holding, what,

a million dollars' worth

of blood money?

JULES: We don't know

it's blood money.

Besides, it has

zero effect on me.

And now you're just

lying to yourself.

Well, when did you

become so sanctimonious?

I'm just saying,

we all have our justification.

JULES: And what are yours?

I'm waiting.

What the f*ck are you doing?

Drop the case.

-Don't be stupid.

-Don't think you're being smart.

Hand it over.

You know I can't do that.

Yes you can.

I'm serious.

Drop the case

and back away.

They'll f*cking k*ll you.

Give me an hour

and then you can call it in.

You really think

an hour head start

-is gonna save you?

-It's the best that I've got.

They'll find you and Jake.

Not if you help,

Come with us.

Why the f*ck would I do that?

You said it yourself. A family.

That's the most truthful thing

you've ever said.

It seems like

all you ever really do

is lie to your family.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)

(g*n FIRES)

(THUDDING AND GRUNTING)

(MELLOW MUSIC PLAYING)

Is it me

Or is the moonlight

shining brighter

Than it usually does

Is it me

-Or is tonight

-(GRUNTING CONTINUES)

The most amazing night

that there ever was?

Can you see

the stars are sparkling

As if they're on fire

Reflecting

My heart's desire

Is it me

Or have you given me a miracle

With one simple kiss?

Can you see

The way you fill my heart

with magic

When you're near me like this?

(STRAINING)

In this life

Do you believe

in one true love

That's meant to be?

Who is the one for you?

Is it me?

(SHUSHES)

MAYA: We have to send texts,

simultaneously,

at a predetermined time

to establish a successful drop.

With that finished,

I gave myself exactly

enough time

to grab my son and vanish.

-I mean, Otis. Otis!

-(HOWLING)

Ow! Okay. Okay.

Okay. All right!

MAYA: That is until you idiots

swerved into me.

-CORA: Look out!

-(TIRES SCREECH)

-(THUDS)

-(GRUNTS)

(ALL SNICKERING)

-Yeah, right.

-CORA: That's pretty good.

-That's pretty good.

-OTIS: Almost believed it

for a second.

It's the truth.

I mean, come on,

two super assassins

and you've both gone rogue,

like, this is looking crazy.

MAYA: Trust me.

It will only get crazier.

I had it timed perfectly.

Which means Jules is probably

hunting me down right now.

Which means,

she's hunting you down, too.

OTIS: So why didn't

you k*ll her?

-MAYA: What?

-You said you choked her out.

You could have k*lled her.

I meant what I said.

Okay? She's...

She's like family.

A little lost, but I thought

she'd find her way.

Is this all on the record?

-What?

-Sorry, force of habit.

She's studying to be

a journalism major.

At the almost top school

in the country.

-It's an Ivy.

-Okay, in theory.

(SCREAMS)

What in the actual f*ck

is wrong with you kids?

Did you even look

at the briefcase?

There are b*llet holes

all over it.

JADEN: She's crazy.

I think she may be right.

Okay, that's just

probably from the car.

-What do I get by lying?

-A million dollars.

MAYA: It's my money.

Well, according to you,

you stole the money,

so it's kind of

as much ours as yours.

-Oh, my God.

f*cking millennials.

-JADEN: Gen Z, actually...

I don't care.

All of you snowflakes

are the same.

Every snowflake

is actually different, but...

Oh, my God, you kids

really don't get how dead

we actually are.

How is she gonna even

gonna find us, like,

-we threw out your phone.

-You ditched my phone?

OTIS: Yeah. We didn't want

anyone tracking you.

CORA: Kept ringing nonstop, too.

How many times did it ring?

It rang, like, three...

(SCREAMS) You have to

let me go!

There is not a shred of doubt

that they will find us.

-And when they do...

-Okay, um, hey, guys,

can I talk to you for a sec?

-Just, quickly, come on...

-MAYA: We don't time for that!

Go, go, go, go, go!

We'll be right back.

Stupid little kids!

I mean,

do you guys believe her?

If you ignore

how crazy it all sounds,

it kind of makes sense.

I mean, to have

a million dollars

in a briefcase,

it kinda has to have

a crazy explanation.

OTIS: I don't even believe

that this Jules person exists.

I don't even think

she has a son.

(MAYA CHUCKLES)

Okay, well,

she could be making it all up,

and we set her free, and...

-JADEN: We're done.

-Essentially, yes.

Alright. I say we call AAA,

get the car fixed,

take the cash and run.

JADEN: Okay, run where, Otis?

We can give her back

her f*cking money and hope

she leaves us alone.

I agree with Jaden here.

How do you know

she's gonna do that?

-'Cause I know.

-Oh, you f*cking

know everything, don't you?

Okay, that's not true.

Yo, just because

you're majoring in economics

at some school in New Haven

doesn't mean you got

your life figured out.

Okay, at least

I'm not an undecided,

aimless little kid.

And I understand the market.

-I'm a pretty good investor.

-You know, f*ck you,

Wall Street bets.

Why don't you go

take your GameStop and Dogecoin

and shove it up our a*s.

I sold that sh*t

a long time ago, back when

it was on the moon.

-CORA: Jaden!

-f*ck you!

You really are that dense.

CORA: Okay.

Okay.

f*ck!

f*ck!

CORA: You should

go talk to him.

JADEN: He doesn't want that.

How do you know that?

I mean, I've known him

almost my whole life

since we were, like, five.

He's not five anymore,

and neither are you.

I don't know.

-He won't admit it,

but he needs you.

-No, he doesn't.

Come on, think about it.

(JADEN SIGHS)

Okay, fine, fine.

(SIGHS)

(SIGHS)

Are they always like this?

What's your name?

What does it matter to you?

You know my name.

Look, you can make up

a name for all I care.

I'm Cora.

Cora.

Nice to meet you, Cora.

So you didn't get in

where you wanted, huh?

CORA: I got into Cornell.

It's an Ivy.

Yeah, I'm aware.

I mean, Northwestern

was the dream.

Their journalism school

is life changing.

I'm pretty sure changing

your life isn't contingent

on the school you go to.

CORA: You don't get it, do you?

I get that you're

overcompensating

for insecurity

about falling into your own

constructive trappings.

I get that you're trying

to break free of a mold,

when in reality

you're crystallizing it further

every day.

I get that you think

you know everything

about how the world should be

and people ought to be.

But in reality,

you don't even know

who you should be.

And I'm supposed to take advice

from a low class criminal

wrapped up in a quilt.

(LAUGHS) First of all,

high class.

Second of all, not advice,

just experience.

Look, if it helps any, I...

I always wanted my son

to go to an Ivy.

There's just something

irrevocably special about it.

I mean, don't get me wrong.

I am...

I was excited.

I'm sure you'll still get there.

Yeah, if I don't go to jail

or get shot or whatever.

You seem pretty competent.

Thank you.

MAYA: Takes one to know one.

So, what do you like

to write about?

-It doesn't matter.

-'Course it matters.

You know,

no one ever asked me that.

Why not?

I don't think

they want to read it,

-to be honest.

-That's ridiculous.

I'm sure a lot of people

support you and want to hear

what you have to say.

Thanks, but it feels like

hollow support, if any.

No one is that concerned

what an 18-year-old reporter

can dig up.

Well, maybe I can help you

with that.

What do you mean?

-(WHISPERS) I have stories.

-And why would you do that?

Well, I'm either disappearing

or dead,

so someone should...

(CHUCKLES)

do something with them.

Okay.

Do you always

carry that with you?

You never know

when you're gonna need it.

-Otis.

-(KNOCKS ON DOOR)

-OTIS: Go away.

-Come on, Otis.

Look, I'm sure

it will work out for you.

It always does.

JADEN: We need your help.

I need your help.

OTIS: Will you just

leave me alone?

You're my best friend.

(SIGHS)

People still have best friends?

I do personally, yes.

Listen, um...

(EXHALES) I know you want

the money, okay,

but it's not worth it.

It's a million dollars.

-Three-way split,

that's 300K.

-That's nothing.

If Maya doesn't k*ll us,

the people that

she works for will.

So you believe her?

I mean, what other choice

do we have?

We're not gonna k*ll her.

And it's not like

we need the money.

You don't need the money.

Listen, it doesn't matter

where your family home is.

When you're in college,

no one cares where you live.

-You wouldn't get it.

-I do.

I do. Which is why

I don't understand

why you're making such

a big deal about it.

Because it is a big deal.

No one gives a sh*t

about how you enrolled

in school.

Elementary school,

middle school, high school,

Everything I've done

is all predicated on a lie.

-Now you're just

being ridiculous.

-But I can't stop doing it.

I'm just a liar.

-Plain and simple.

-Okay. Don't be so reductive.

Everybody lies.

Like, calm down.

f*ck, we even lied,

saying you lived in our house.

Just because, you know,

your dad died,

doesn't mean

you shouldn't be able

to go to certain school.

Listen, Otis...

Like it or not,

you're my best friend.

Forever.

What about all the cool people

at New Haven?

They got nothing on you.

That's nice.

You've got tons of friends.

I'm the one with only two.

Same here.

-Only have two I love.

-Yeah, sure thing, prom king.

-Okay, we don't even have

a prom king.

-Whatever.

Seriously.

Those people,

they don't actually like me.

They like the idea of me.

(SIGHS)

My, um...

My car really isn't here, huh?

CORA: No.

We drove you.

Yeah.

Ah, can you, um...

Can you go in

my wallet for a sec?

There's a...

There's a little

piece of paper in there.

Hi, baby.

Your son did this?

Yeah. Jakey.

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

Okay. Now, if you need a snack,

there's snacks in the bag,

there's water, okay?

But do not open the trunk.

No matter what you do,

do not open the trunk.

You got it?

Now, if for some reason

I don't come back,

I am coming back,

but if for any reason

I don't, you go to the address

in this envelope.

Now, repeat it back to me.

I'm gonna open the trunk

and go to this address.

You got it.

You're so smart.

Now, if I'm not back by 8:00

you call my number.

It's programmed in there,

but don't call anybody else

and do not pick up the phone

if it rings.

You ready?

Don't leave me.

Baby, it's okay. I promise you

I am coming back.

Okay? I swear.

I love you so much.

We're going...

We're going on our trip, okay?

I love you.

CORA: Is he waiting for you?

Yeah.

He's probably still

calling me petrified.

If Jules hasn't gotten

to him yet.

CORA: I'm sure he's okay.

I will be right back.

Okay. What kind of passive

aggressive bullshit is this?

I really need the Otis and Jaden

soap opera to come to

a quick finale here, please.

I think she's telling the truth.

-What makes you so sure?

-I'm a journalist.

You took one high school

communications class.

That's one more than you.

Okay, so if she is

telling the truth,

then we're being hunted?

CORA: Yeah,

we're running out of time.

Or that's what

she wants us to think,

and we make a rash decision,

and we die.

Or we stay here and we die.

OTIS: All right,

so is there an option

where we don't die?

(CORA SIGHS)

-I'm gonna let her go.

-On what authority?

She was honest with me.

What is this?

Playground justice?

Her kid is in the g*dd*mn trunk

on the side of the road.

What's the most made up story

I've ever heard?

CORA: She was gonna

escape with him.

Why isn't that the first thing

she asked then?

"Is my kid here?"

"Oh, yeah, he's in the trunk

with the milk and eggs."

CORA: She didn't know

if we had her car or not.

And it was all in effort

to protect him.

OTIS: Some effort that was.

JADEN: Okay,

I think it's a vote.

(SIGHS) Fine. Sure. Yeah.

All in favor of Maya's release.

Jaden?

OTIS: Dude, what the f*ck?

Okay, you don't even

have a decision.

-I was thinking.

-So classic,

always undecided.

Well, f*ck you.

Those not in favor.

You don't have to be

a contrarian all the time.

You don't have to be a b*tch

all the time.

-Cora...

-(DOOR OPENS)

(WHISPERS) What did you do?

Why would you f*cking...

(IN NORMAL VOICE) Cora...

Cora? Cora, he didn't mean it.

Cora, wait up, come on.

OTIS: Cora, I'm sorry.

-What are you doing?

-We voted.

-Come on.

-Back the f*ck off.

Yeah, back the f*ck off, man.

We don't have a car

to get away.

We let her go. And what?

She kills us and takes

the money?

-MAYA: I'm not gonna k*ll you.

-Cora, Stop!

Sorry, I can't hear you.

Too busy being

a constant b*tch.

OTIS: I'm sorry.

Leave me alone.

OTIS: Come on.

This is the worst idea ever.

I know Krav Maga.

We're fine.

She knows Krav Maga.

It's fine.

Okay, guys,

maybe we just argue

without the bread knife.

You're just an immature,

little indecisive piece of sh*t

with enough sexual tension

to film

an entire f*cking season

of Downton Abbey.

You're just an overconfident,

self-absorbed as*h*le

that says

stupid little sh*t like,

"This pen is mightier

than the sword."

-It is!

-Not your f*cking pen.

Who the f*ck

do you think you are?

It's not just me.

Northwestern thought so, too.

I'm going to Cornell.

It's an Ivy.

Whatever helps you

sleep at night.

And I'm sorry,

where did you get in?

You know, I'd be surprised

if you got in anywhere.

No waitlist takes this long.

Are you calling me a liar?

-I didn't say it.

-Give me the knife.

MAYA: Can we

keep cutting, please?

Just think about what happens

if we let her go without a plan.

-If she is as skilled

as she says she is...

-MAYA: I am.

...no car, or nothing,

we're f*cked,

after school Krav Maga or not.

JADEN: Look,

he's not wrong, Cora.

Maybe we just,

you know, take a moment.

No, we are not taking a moment.

We are playing with fire here,

and look how that turned out.

I need a minute.

Go, Big Red.

-Are you f*cking...

-JADEN: Cora, Cora!

Cora!

You know what, guys?

I'm done here.

See you later. I'm out.

JADEN: Come back!

-Otis, what the f*ck?

Go, dude, just go.

-OTIS: What?

MAYA: Can you

keep cutting, please?

You can keep cutting.

Are you...

Are you f*cking kidding me?

(GRUNTS IN ANGER)

(CHAIR SQUEAKING)

(SCREAMS)

(KEEP THE PARTY GOING PLAYING)

Knocking on your door, baby,

just say something

Quiet in your eyes

but the storm keeps coming

I don't wanna go

but the midnight's calling

I don't wanna go

shadow getting close

Dying for a piece

but you can't get nothing

Got everything you need

but you can't stop running

I don't wanna go

but the half-life's falling

I don't wanna go

lay my body low...

(SKATEBOARD THUDDING)

Would you please just quit it?

-(THUDDING)

-f*cking quit it, okay?

You know...

(CHUCKLES)

You will single handedly k*ll

all of your friends, right?

(THUDDING CONTINUES)

Aren't you a little old

for skateboard tricks anyway?

Oh my God, how old are you?

Will you just shut up?

(THUDS)

Aw...

(BABY VOICE)

Did the whittle boy

fall down?

Are you okay der?

Baby...

(THUDDING CONTINUES)

MAYA: Oh my God! Stop!

Just f*cking stop already!

OTIS: You want me to put

the sheet back over your head?

MAYA: Stop, stop, stop!

Stop!

(MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYING)

-You guys want to hear

a crazy thought?

-Go for it.

This is all true.

I might die without

having kissed anyone.

You might not even be

as straight as you thought.

I always thought I might be bi.

But I'm starting to think

I actually could be asexual.

But, um,

aren't those exact opposites?

How do you even know that?

It speaks for itself.

Maybe you're just

a late bloomer.

f*cking agave ocahui.

What?

It's a cactus that blooms

once every 100 years.

Isn't agave a succulent?

Yeah, sure.

Well, considering

we all might die,

I guess you can kiss me.

Wait, what?

Let's just figure it out.

-Asexual or not.

-I'm not a f*cking experiment.

No, that's not it.

I'm trying to help you.

You can kiss me, too.

What is going on?

It's not that big of a deal.

How are you gonna know?

-This is weird.

-It's only weird

if you make it.

You guys are my friends.

Exactly. One kiss

and we move on.

Don't you wanna know

who you are?

Yeah, organically.

Okay, but everyone's

first kiss is weird.

I mean, yeah, but look at this.

What are you doing?

How was that?

Truthfully?

I didn't feel much.

It is all on the line

and you're f*cking Frenching

in the corner?

CORA: Give us a second.

You do realize we are in

critical danger here, right?

JADEN: Well...

Maybe you're g*y.

I'm not gonna kiss you.

You kissed Cora.

I've known you since

we were, like, five.

Otis, it's not a big deal.

It's not.

And there you go.

Nope.

Damn, that's, uh...

Guess you are asexual.

I mean, this isn't

the best sample size,

but thank you.

I cannot believe

I'm being held hostage

by a group of horny

f*cking teenagers.

OTIS: Hey, I may not be

that horny after all.

(LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY)

(EXHALES)

So, what are we going to do?

I say we think on it

for a second.

Oh, yeah.

(EXHALES)

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

Hello? Jake?

Jake, it's your mom's

friend Jules.

Where are you?

Jake.

What are you doing?

-I'm making a decision.

-That's not yours.

It's not yours, either.

If you don't return it in full,

your friends don't have

a chance.

I need this chance.

They really care about you,

you know.

That is, uh... (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

Hard to find.

Yeah, sure.

I hope Jake finds friends

like that someday.

You remind me of him.

If you do this,

you are on your own.

-I've been on my own.

-Not from what I can see.

(SCOFFS)

Otis, this isn't gonna end well.

Stop with the advice.

You are not my mom.

Well, if she were here,

I think I know what she'd say.

Oh, yeah and what is that?

Otis, don't steal the money!

OTIS: Stop!

What the f*ck are you doing?

-Man, what's going on, man?

-Nothing! Nothing! Nothing!

You're stealing the money?

-Just my share!

-JADEN: It's not yours.

-MAYA: That's what I said.

-Okay, shut up.

MAYA: Well,

if it weren't for me,

he'd be out that door.

CORA: Otis, give it back.

-Guys, just come on,

let's move. Move!

-No. No!

God damn it!

I didn't want it

to be like this!

Where the f*ck

did you get that?

MAYA: Another thing he stole.

JADEN: All right.

Okay. All right.

Just put it down, Otis.

CORA: This isn't you.

Maybe it is me.

How the f*ck would you know?

JADEN: I know.

You think you know everything,

don't you?

(BREATH TREMBLING)

You don't know

anything about me.

None of you do.

I've tried to explain

and explain and explain

that I need this money.

But I can't be

any more f*cking clear!

-No, you don't.

-Yes, I do.

I really f*cking do!

We'll be fine

without it, okay?

Is this really worth it?

You're not gonna sh**t us.

Not if you guys just move.

JADEN: I know you're not

gonna do it.

You don't know anything.

This isn't funny, Otis.

OTIS: I'm not trying

to be funny.

They always say,

"Look at them.

"Look at Jaden.

Look at Cora.

"They're going places."

And you guys are.

I believe it.

But I'm stuck here.

Going nowhere.

But with this...

I can go somewhere.

Be something just like you guys.

Otis, we're not something,

we're the same.

OTIS: Yes, you are!

And for the last f*cking time,

no, we are not!

I don't need your pity.

All I need is this money.

You are and you can be

something without it.

OTIS: I can't, and I'm not.

This is my money!

So don't pretend

like you understand.

You can't even

comprehend the minutia

of what it's like to be me!

JADEN: I do know, Otis!

I do!

Everybody expects me

to be perfect.

There is no room for error.

You don't know what it's like

to have a dad that's so obsessed

with a legacy that

no matter what you do,

you can never give it to him.

You're right.

I don't.

Because mine is dead.

Well, I wish mine was.

OTIS: Don't f*cking say that!

You don't know

how lucky you are!

Otis, all I'm saying

is I would k*ll to be you.

To just be able to be you

with no precepts.

No precepts?

I have more constrictions

than anybody else here!

Are we talking literally here?

Shut the f*ck up!

CORA: Look,

we all have problems,

but we deal with them.

Let's not be small people here.

Small?

Look who's small now!

You guys will just never get it.

How about this?

I have no money

to go to college,

no scholarship,

and I have to stay here

and go to community college,

if I can even find the time

when I'm not working,

because I'm helping my mom

pay the g*dd*mn rent,

even though I got off

the f*cking USC waitlist!

You got off the...

Otis, Oh, my God,

that's amazing!

-That's...

-When did that happen?

OTIS: On the way here

before we met Maya.

Met is a nice way of putting it.

JADEN: We'll figure out

a way for you to go.

Says the person

with a gratuitous full ride.

This is the only way.

-This is my way.

-(RATTLES BAG)

Now, please dude, just move.

That money isn't clean.

Whatever, money's f*cking dirty,

I'll Purell it later.

You think you can just walk

into an enrolment office

with a bag full of cash?

Even USC won't take that.

You need someone to launder it.

But more importantly,

you need someone

who knows someone

who can launder it.

OTIS: And that's you?

(SIGHS)

I didn't get into Yale.

OTIS: What?

CORA: You're going next week.

My dad donated a f*cking

marine life center

or some sh*t.

He didn't even tell me

until last month.

No f*cking way.

You're lying.

You're valedictorian.

You could, like,

throw a javelin really far!

I mean, dude, you're Jaden!

Besides, everyone knows

you got a full ride.

JADEN: Yeah. Yeah.

That's what I thought, too.

But the truth is,

someone like him

isn't just going to let his kid

throw away his future.

No matter the cost.

-OTIS: Why didn't you tell us?

-Because I'm embarrassed.

I thought I earned it.

-CORA: You did.

-No. No.

I really didn't.

OTIS: (SIGHS)

I just can't believe it.

Believe it or not,

I'm here for you.

We're here for you.

Always.

Let me just take this

from you, okay, Otis?

Okay.

Okay. Okay. Okay.

Next time, you might wanna

take the safety off.

But I am glad that it only took

kissing your two best friends

to realize that.

And a couple of mobsters.

-And some arson.

-And some arson.

Lots of arson.

(SIGHS)

Who are you calling?

So you finally

came around to that, too.

We need to take

Jake to that woman

who can clean the money.

All right.

Let's vote on it.

All in favor?

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

Finally, we can agree

on something for once.

c*ck a doodle f*cking doodle.

JADEN: So, uh...

Where to?

Paris, Texas.

Well, I'm not

navigating this time.

Probably for the best.

It says it's east.

Yeah, no sh*t.

Well, you're going west.

Right.

Just to be clear,

we aren't kidnapping

this kid, right?

Of course not.

JADEN: I mean,

we're rescuing him.

CORA: I know.

We're just developing

quite the rap sheet.

Yeah, and they don't even

count as extracurriculars.

I know I don't know much

I'm going places

I'm going places

Would you come with me?

Could you come with me?

Would you come with me?

Could you come with me?

Isn't it nice

just to have it all?

Roll in the dust

like we'll never fall

I'm going places

But I'm going nowhere

if not with you

I'm going places

But I'm already somewhere

if I'm with you

I know I don't much

But one thing I know

I'm going places

I'm going places

Would you come with me?

Could you come with me?

Would you come with me?

Could you come with me?
