Quick Pesos
Scene: Opening shot is a large white van with no rear windows pulling into an empty parking lot. There is a title that lets us know we are somewhere in Mexico. The van comes to a stop, then pauses and moves 15 feet forward, then pauses and moves again. This continues five or six times.
Driver: (to passenger) Okay just play it cool and everything will work out
Passenger: Alright cool and calm
The van pulls forward one more time
Driver: (speaking toward the open window) How’s it going sir?...pause...We’re just coming back from spring break...pause...Bay Area, Palo Alto to be specific
Passenger: San Diego
Driver: Here’s our paper work...pause...No its my mom’s car, she let me borrow it for the trip...pause...Nothing really, just our clothes and some our sleeping bags, its actually pretty empty back there
Passenger: No, no drugs or weapons.
Driver: Actually were kind of a in a hurry, I promised my mom I’d be back an hour ago...pause... I know that’s not your fault, but if you could just let us skip the inspection so we could get back....pause...Listen man there’s nothing back there....pause....Sure go check with you supervisor, see if I care
Passenger: (to driver) Dude, he knows
Driver: I know, were so fucked
Passenger: Lets just go through
Driver: I dunno, we could get chased
Passenger: They won’t chase us, I see this all the time on Cops, just go around the gate
Driver: Alright
The van starts moving again, the driver pushes a tape into the stereo.
Cassette: Hey get back here! (yelling) SIRONS
Driver: There after us man!
Passenger: Step on it!
The van accelerates fast and then makes a series of turns all around the empty parking lot.
Driver: Here’s our one chance to get rid of them, I’ll pull over
Passenger: Do it
The van comes to a quick stop and the guys get out of the front. As they run to the back they fire a cap gun and smear blood on their shirts.
Driver: I’ve been shot.
Passenger: Lets just let them get to freedom.
They open the back of the van and family of Mexican immigrants go running out.
Driver: Andole! Andole! Va!
The immigrants scatter away as fast as possible. The two guys pull out a wad of cash and start counting it.
Driver: (to passenger) That was a good one
Passenger: Yeah, I’d do this for free
