Bad Air Texas
PART 28
EVA
(Pulls STACY aside)
We’ve got to distract her so someone can jump her.
STACY
I’ve got an idea.
(Picks up magazine from check-in desk)
Look, Cami! The new Russel Stoffer catalog!
CAMI
(Turns excitedly)
Really?
STACY
(Jumps at gun)
Got it!
EVA
Don’t let her go!
(RICK grabs CAMI from behind)
CAMI
(Stomps on RICK’s foot with her spike heel)
Take that!
(RICK crumbles in pain)
EVA
(Lunges at her)
I got her.
CAMI
Do you?
(She steps aside and she crashes to the ground)
STACY
(Points CAMI’s gun at her)
Hold it!
CAMI
Ha! It’s not loaded.
(CAMI rushes off as fast as possible in her heels)
EVA
After her!
(EVA and RICK rush after CAMI)
STACY
She’s not getting far in those heels.
RICK
(Off)
Watch it!
(A big smack is heard off stage)
STACY
Careful!
EVA
Got her!
(Drags in CAMI by the hair. EVA forces CAMI into a chair. RICK follows)
STACY
(Goes to CAMI)
Now tell us where Corbichovich is being held.
CAMI
I'm not telling you anything.
RICK
(Steps in and shoos STACY aside)
Let me handle this.
(Takes candy bar from his pocket)
Look what I got Cami.
CAMI
What?
RICK
It’s a chocolate chitlin bar.
CAMI
Oooh, my favorite.
RICK
I’ll give it to you…
(Holds out candy bar then snatches it away when she reaches for it)
… if you tell us where Corbichovich is.
CAMI
(To self)
Be strong, be strong. You don’t need that chocolate…
RICK
Suit yourself. I’ll just have to eat it all by my lonesome.
(Starts to unwrap it)
CAMI
Look away, Cami. Don’t look.
(Tries to ignore RICK but can’t. RICK is about to take a bite)
Okay! Okay! I’ll talk!
RICK
I thought you might.
(Dangles chocolate in front of CAMI. CAMI reaches for it but EVA holds her back)
CAMI
Give it to me!
RICK
First, tell us where Corbichovich is.
CAMI
First, the chocolate…
RICK
No deal.
(Opens his mouth)
CAMI
No! I’ll tell. He’s locked in the old bomb shelter.
RICK
The bomb shelter. Of course.
(Points L)
The entrance is close by. The yellow bomb shelter signs point the way.
STACY
I’ll go check it out.
(STACY rushes out L. CAMI snatches away chocolate bar and eats happily)
