Chapter 3: Thunder on the road.
Hyperion- principal room - morning.
Lorne comes down the stairs. Angel is in his office, the door is open. Lorne comes to him.
LORNE:
So you're already awake. You are really an early riser for a vampire.
ANGEL: (turning to Lorne)
In fact I didn't sleep at all.
LORNE:
Oh, why, let me guess, brooding. - mocking.
ANGEL:
No, thinking...
LORNE:
You know for you, brooding/thinking it's fifty/fifty. So, about what you were THINKING?
ANGEL:
Nothing just... a case...
LORNE:
Yeah, a case that we can class in the compartment in the letter C, isn't it?
ANGEL:
C you mean, like "case"?
LORNE:
No, I meant much like Cordelia.
ANGEL:
What do you want I think about her? She is confused, she came back here, without her memory, after she takes it back with an additional payment, my glory past with all the feelings who go with.
LORNE:
Just be patient and make yourself in her orders can help too.
Gunn enters in the lobby. Directing him to Angel's office.
GUNN:
Okay man, I got your key and the car too, of course.
LORNE: (to Angel)
Why you want a car? - understanding- OH! NO! You're still with that stupid idea!!
GUNN:
Oh, don't make your precious, it's not so terrible, you don't go in a psychoanalytic meeting during two days, lucky you!! - annoying.
Angel and Lorne stare him.
GUNN:
I didn't say that.
Gives the key to Angel and goes fast to the stairs.
LORNE:
Apparently you are not the lonely one who has trouble with his girlfriend. - looking Gunn goes on.
ANGEL: (pensively)
I'd like to can say she's my girlfriend. - for himself.
LORNE:
Who? Fred? She is not free. - mocking.
ANGEL:
No, Cordelia. Damn! I don't have any luck in love, my first love threw me in hell, my kid threw me in the ocean, and my "I don't know what 'cause it's too soon" threw me my past in my face. Anyway, it's normal after all that I done I don't deserve it.
LORNE:
Oh, no, not the "I don't deserve it" stuff. You waited for that two hundred fifty years you can wait two or three weeks more. That won't kill you.
ANGEL:
It's good you think that 'cause I was thinking to say to you the same thing about your trip with Connor.
LORNE:
It's totally different - in the defensive- first Connor is not a girl, second Connor is not a hot girl.
ANGEL:
I localized the place in the map. Look.
Lorne approaches and looks the map in the desk.
ANGEL: (showing in the map)
You see, it's easy, you take that one, you turn left...
LORNE: (taking the map)
Okay, I know read a map, but I can promise that I know supported your little scourge.
ANGEL: (looking up)
I remember the time where people called me like that....
LORNE:
I'm really glad you found some common point with him, but one offence from him and I let him in the border of the road, understand.
ANGEL:
Okay, I will say to him to be nice, and don't hurt your sensibility.
Connor comes in the place by the stairs, when he sees the guys in the office he attempts to go away toward the stairs. But Angel feels his presence and calls him to come.
CONNOR: (to Angel)
Oh, you are awake, - happily- why? - less happily.
ANGEL:
I didn't sleep at all - cut Connor who was ready for tell something- but I wasn't brooding.
CONNOR:
So, you didn't changed your mind about this stuff, did you?
ANGEL:
No, and it's time for you guys to... - interrupting by Cordelia's voice.
CORDELIA:
ANGEL!!!!!!! - first floor.
ANGEL:
Go now. - dashing to the stairs.
CONNOR:
What? It's all, he just quits off?
LORNE:
Yeah, so, go on, a big day waiting us.
CONNOR:
If you sing on the road I strangle you - threatening.
Connor leaves the lobby. Focus on Lorne's face.
LORNE:
Okay, a big day waiting ME.
Leaves the lobby too.
CUT TO: The car in the road, I don't know which road, it's just a road. - noon. Connor is in the passenger seat, and of course Lorne the conductor one.
LORNE:
Okay, here we are, we just come to leave the city. Take the map.
Connor just looks at him.
LORNE:
In the sit behind, and open it.
CONNOR: (taking and opening the map)
Okay, so where we are?
LORNE:
Well, we are in the 156 northwards.
CONNOR:
I don't know read that, I directing myself with my flair.
LORNE:
Yes, I'm glad to hear that even if I don't care. But your "flair" can't help us in a car. Let me see that.
Lorne bends for look the map and deviates a little of the road.
CONNOR:
Look the road! Look the road!!
LORNE: ( still bends, but he takes up his head a little for look Connor)
Oh, the brave warrior is scared about a little car accident.....
Interrupting by a lorry hooter. Lorne comes back in his sit and avoids the lorry. Come back in calm position. Connor fixes Lorne badly.
CONNOR:
You really need some medical care.
LORNE:
And you, you really need to shut your mouth. - irritated.
CONNOR: (looking the road)
What are you doing, look, you're leaving the road.
LORNE:
I can go back in the road it's a one way street. I will continue and turn for recover the principal road.
CONNOR:
Don't lose them!!!
LORNE:
Of course I won't! - really irritated.
CUT TO: the car is sitting on the board of the road; Lorne is leaning on the car's wing, reading the map. - afternoon. Connor is still sit in his seat.
CONNOR:
I can't believe that you lost us.
LORNE:
We are not lost, Okay, we just don't know....where we are.
CONNOR:
Yes!! And the definition for that, boss, is LOST. - articulating.
Connor goes in the bottom of his seat, his arms cross, sulking. Focus on Lorne's face.
LORNE:
I need a scotch on the rocks.- for himself.
He hears a voice behind him.
CONNOR:
I'm hungry.
Still focus on Lorne's face.
LORNE:
Forget the rocks. - for himself.
Lorne continue to read the map.
LORNE: (to Connor)
Okay, we can go in that way, turn by this village or mini- town....
CONNOR: (interrupting him)
Where we gonna eat.
LORNE: (whispering for himself)
Where I gonna abandoned you.- more loud - Okay, we go now.
CONNOR: (during Lorne sit down)
I hope we won't meet people, 'cause it's not Halloween they never will believe that you are disguised.
LORNE:
Yes, I'm disguised in demon and you are disguised in exhausting brat.
He starts the car, and they go on. We can hear music coming to the car.
CONNOR: (with distance voice)
Switch off that.
TNC..
PS: They will arrive in the sect place, but the case won't be so easy than Angel said. Chapter 4: Angel & Cordelia have a new case.
I'm sorry if you find some conjugation faults or something like that.
