Cut to around the hotel. James comes around the corner and Ash greets him with a smile.
James:
Hey. How's the girl?
Ash:
I don't know, how is she?
James:
Ah, pulling a wise ass thing today are we?
Ash:
Wise ass huh? Then since wise asses don't kiss that good, I guess that leaves you out in the cold.
James:
Really? Then I take it back.
He goes over and kisses her and hugs her. She looks over his shoulder and again sees Brian and Mia, hand in hand goofing around. Something she does lets James know that she's angry at them.
James:
What's with you?
Ash:
Nothing.
James:
Why do you have to be so vain? You can't just be happy with what you have, you've got to have what everyone else has only better.
Ash:
So you're saying I'm all about number one again? James, you're acting like you don't know me. Why don't you just trust me?
James:
You say your settled, but you're always running.
Ash:
You run too James. But that's just because the things that have been thrown out in front of us ain't what we need.
James:
You seem like you're just out for that Romeo. Some love stuck person that would drop everything and lose his life for you if need be.
Ash:
He died for all the wrong reasons. And that special someone? The one that I need, that's you James.
James:
You know there's something that I've been wanting to tell you for a while.
Enter Jesse and Leon
Jesse:
He loves you.
Leon:
Yeah. We've known that forever.
James:
Thanks guy. Thank you so much. Some privacy now please?
Leon:
ah, come on man, its just getting good and interesting around here.
Ash:
(to James) Really?
James:
Why wouldn't it be for really?
He picks her up at the waist and spins. She comes back down and they kiss as the song Lay Down Besides Me leads to the next scene. This is where Brian and Mia are together with Dominic and Letty. They're just having a drink, all but Dom who preparing to go race.
Brian:
You guys want to know something?
Dom:
What's on your mind O'Connor?
Brain:
Honestly, I don't know why I came back.
Letty:
Oh, I think Mia knows
Mia:
If you don't know why you came back, then why have you stayed so long?
Brian:
Because, I'm not going back.
Mia:
What? Brian you're crazy. You don't need to stick around in here. You've got a better life out there. Don't let this world drag you under.
Brian:
There is one thing that this world has that the other doesn't.
Mia:
And what's that?
Brian:
You. I go back there, and I know that I won't be as close to you as I am now.
Dom:
Well, all I can say to you O'Connor is welcome to the jungle.
Brian:
So I got a job?
Letty:
The gods of the racing world smile on you.
Dom:
If only the same was for all of us.
Letty:
What's up babe?
Dom:
Peterson's got the idea in his head to side with Tran
Mia:
What? Why?
Enter Ash and the three boys
Ash:
Because the whore's two timing him with Johnny.
Jesse:
Its true and it cost me ten dollars.
the angle changes over to the strip where a racer waits on Dominic
Racer:
Hey Toretto, lets do this man.
Dom:
Alright. (to the team) You guys get this sorted out. I've got some money to win.
he gets up and goes to the drags. You still see what he's doing in the back ground as the others continue to converse.
Letty:
What are we going to do about him? I mean the kids obviously really easy to have influence with.
James:
How omega is that?
Leon:
Very omega
the back ground shows the other racer's car going out of control and the crowd parts. The car plows straight at them. Random stuff of move and run are yelled. The car strikes a wall and catches fire. Leon and a running Dom go to get the guy out of the car. Dom pulls back the door and a flame nearly hits him in the face. He and Leon struggle with the belt and Leon burs his hand. They get the guy out just as the paramedics get there.
E.M.T #1:
What's his name?
Dom:
Zachary Donnellson
They try to get him alerted. Another person looks at Leon's hand. The rest of the team looks on in distress for the fellow fallen racer.
Letty:
Morality is really coming out in the open now for us.
Mia:
Dominic knows him. He's just twenty-two.
Ash:
And with on blow, the gods shall fall.
The team is now together completely together with the arrival of Vince and the decided Jake. They are seen walking away through the heat of the fire. They seek an escape and it lies in the city of Lost Angels.
