Roadside Assistance
Scene 1-10
Revised 2/10/00

1.  Ext.  Inside the Truck, Close to Midnight

The truck is a black '89 Dodge Dakota.  The Dark One is a man 
who we do not see until the very last scene in the movie is 
white, but covered in grease, and wheres a black t-shirt and 
old faded jeans.  

The rear window of the truck as a guy with a black greasy 
white skinned hand reaches through.

The lock of the drivers side door as the outstretched fingers pop 
up the lock.

The man opens the drivers side door and gets in. 

His hands pull down the wires under the steering, and there is a 
spark and the sound of the ignition.

The light in the stereo turns on, as a creepy heavy 
metal song 
starts to pound it's way through the cab.   
The camera 
lowers as he shifts the truck into reverse.

The truck backs out of the parking spot, and then 
starts to 
pull forward.

He pulls it to the turn out of the parking lot onto
the street.  
The viewer can't see into the cab becuase
the window 
is covered in tin foil.  There is only a
small slit 
for him to see.  The truck slowly eases
onto the 
street.

2.  Ext.  North Ave., Minutes later.

The truck cruises down the road.  

It moves slowly by, as other cars pass by.  He turns
off down a 
side road.

END OF SCENE 1

3.  Int.  Man's Bedroom, simultaneous

A woman is getting dressed.  Hurrying to put in her 
earrings.  
She is grabbing her coat, and then she 
kisses the 
naked man, who has a sheet over him in his 
bed.  He 
tries to pull her back into her bed, but she 
pushes him 
back away.  They seperate from the kiss and 
she walks 
away.  The 
camera stays on him.

Man	
I wish you could stay.

Woman
You know better than that.
I have a husband to get home
to before he makes it home 
from his mistresses.

Man
You two have one fucked up
relationship.

Woman
Fucking has nothing to do with
it.  That's what I take care of 
you for.

The woman stands at the door, looking back at the man, 
smiling

The man is grabbing a pair of boxer shorts from the 
floor.

She leaves out of the door.

END OF SCENE 2

3.  Outside Man's House, continious

The woman walks down the side walk to the street.

The truck comes to a stop as she nears the street, as though it is 
preparing to let her go by.

She nods towards the truck, and starts to cross the street, 
outstretching her arm in the process of turning off her car 
alarm.

The music begins to become roaring loud.

The wheels start to slightly squeal

Close Up the woman as her eyes open wide.  She opens her mouth 
about to scream.

END OF SCENE 3

4.  Man's Bedroom, simultanious

The man hears the squealing of tires from outside.  He is in his 
boxer shorts, but fearing that it might be the Woman he runs 
outside.  

END OF SCENE 4

5.  Ext.  Outside Man's Apt, continious

The man stands in his doorway looking out in horror.  The music 
had died away, and everything seems silent, except for an idling 
sound.

Pan shot from Man 1's Pov, as he looks from the idling truck a 
few feet down the street, to the end of his sidewalk. There is a 
woman's leg sticking out from under the car.  

Not seperated, the leg is still apart of the body, but the 
body can not be seen.

The man runs to the street, not giving any kind of a 
care for 
himself, but worried for the Woman, hoping 
that there 
could be something he could do.  He runs 
out into 
the street, and bends down to pick her up in 
his arms.  
He is not overly emotionally distraught, 
since all 
they were to each other were lovers in the 
sexual sense. 

A close-up of the rear tail light.  It brightens, and 
the reverse 
light comes on.  

The man kneels there, holding her, trying to think of 
the best 
course of action.  The truck barrels back, 
rushing to 
hit him.

Close-up of his face as he turns around to see the 
truck.  
A look of terror comes over him as he realizes 
he only 
has a few seconds to live.

END OF SCENE 5

6.  Ext.  North Ave, minutes later

The truck stops at a stop sign, preparing to turn back onto North
Ave.  His blinker flashing.  

Close up of the left blinker as it flashes.  It is red from the 
blood that is covering it.  Flashing.

The truck pulls slowly back onto the road.  It is now around one,
and the streets are nearly clear.  The truck goes west until it 
reaches Harlem Ave, and then starts south.  There are a few bars
that are closing down, but everytime he passes one, there are 
groups of people coming out.  No singles.

The truck makes it down to I-290, and gets off to go west.  The 
other side of 290 is pretty well packed, but the side the Dark 
One is driving is clear.  

After nearly a mile, up ahead is seen a car pulled over to the 
side of the road.  The truck slows as it goes by.

The car is empty, it's hazards flashing, but it has been
abandoned.

The truck quickly picks up speed, not wanting to waste time 
where there was no life to kill.

The headlights illuminate the road in front of The Dark One 
as he drives looking out through only that little slot in the 
tin foil.  In his brightlights there is a man (man2) up ahead, 
walking with a gas can in hand.  Man 2 looks over his shoulder 
as the truck starts to slow down and near him.  Man 2 seeing a 
possible chance at getting a ride to the nearest gas station 
starts to hold out his thumb in a hitchhiker fashion.   
The truck starts to slow, and pull over to the side as though to 
pick man 2 up, but then when it gets close, the truck picks up 
speed.   The man turns and starts to get out of the trucks way, 
but as he goes to drive there is a solid thud "sound" inside the 
cab.  The truck moves back into the right lane, and continues 
down 290


After a few more miles, the truck pulls off onto the Wolf Rd. 
ramp, and works his way around so that he is then heading back 
the way he came.  

END OF SCENE 6

7.  Ext.  Car Wash, Near Dawn

The truck just before it enters the car wash.  It's front hood 
covered in blood with clumps of hair stuck to the grill.  The 
truck slowly stalks forward into the car wash until it is 
fully in.  The sprays quickly start to squirt, and wash the 
truck.

END OF SCENE 7

8.  Ext.  Outside Adam's Apartment building, minutes later

Adam is the owner of the truck before it was stolen.

The truck slowly eases it's way back into the parking lot.

END OF SCENE 8

9.  Int.  Inside Adam's Apartment.  Simultaneous

Adam's shape can be seen as the shower runs, and steam 
billows out.  

Adam stands in front of his mirror, his back to the camera 
as he reaches forward to the mirror, and wipe away the steam.  
He doesn't do a good job, but is good enough to see.  He 
starts to prepare to shave, and then he starts to brush his 
teeth.

A pan of the room in which Adam has a small studio apartment.  Very simple.  A bed, a 
small kitchen that is one wall, and two dressers.  There is 
a small desk with a simple computer.  It has discarded clothes 
covering the cpu.  the pan stops at him in the small kithen as 
He stands over his oven as water is preparing to boil.  He 
is wearing a red shirt that is his work uniform.  When the water 
gets hot he pulls the pan off of the red hot electric 
stove coil.  

END OF SCENE 9

10.  Ext.  Outside Adam's Apartment.  Minutes later.

Adam is coming out of the front of the building, and walks 
over to the parking lot, and gets into his truck.    The 
camera pulls back just a little to see the arm and mid body 
of the Dark One standing in the shadows across the street.  
The truck roars to life, and is quickly pulling out of the 
parking lot, and off to Adam's work.
