INT. HEX-VILLE HIGH SCHOOL.
INT. MAIN ENTRANCE / EXIT.
A double Door Entrance and a Double Door exit. The corridor is packed with Students in a rush for Class.
INT. HARRY WILSON
He hurries in as the School Bell sounds and he brushes past students. He rushes grasping his bag over his shoulder, in an attempt not to miss class. Harry comes to his personal locker and he seems to know the location, as it may be the same one, he's used through his High School years. Harry throws his bag down, as he places in a numerical code to unlock the Locker. He unlocks it and throws open the metal door quite quickly and starts fumbling threw his bag for books.
INT. OSWALD JOHNSON
A broad teenager, with a fairly mean look about him. His dress code appears scruffy, where his clothes don't meet his build. His T Shirt is that of Lynyrd Skynyrd, a Rock Band and Blue Jeans that cover way over his foot wear. His hair is greased, like Fifties Style and he has a tooth pick in his mouth. His approach to Harry is quite abrupt.
OSWALD
Hey, Wilson! Get laid this summer?
Harry hesitates, staring his locker, trying to ignore the bold and arrogant re-introduction of somebody, he doesn't want to acquaint himself to. Harry does his utmost best not to feel intimidated, as it feels like, he's had some altercation with Oswald in the past. Harry partially glances to his left, as Oswald rolls the tooth pick in his mouth. Harry reluctantly acknowledges him, but does not answer to his question.
HARRY
Oswald.
Harry looks behind him.
EXT. HARVEY & CLIFF
Two High School Bullies, associates of Oswald. Harvey chews heavily on gum. Cliff wearing a Leather Jacket, leers at Harry.
Oswald laughs a little a the Wilson boy, almost mocking him.
OSWALD
You didn't answer my question.
Harry already starts to feel annoyed by Oswalds presence within his personal space.
HARRY
It's none of your business Oswald.
Oswald attempts to intimidate Harry, by trying to start much taller than him, although Oswald is only just a few inches above Harry's height. He again sniggers.
OSWALD
All these years and you still can't get into Tina's underwear. You never know, my luck may change and I'll beat you to it.
Harry goes eye to eye with the bully.
HARRY
Oswald you couldn't beat yourself off to a Vagrant if you tried.
Oswald is incensed by Harry's remark, but Harry holds his ground. He puts his face into Harry, ready for a punch up.
OSWALD
What did you say, you Prick?
SUDDENLY, THERES A SARCASTIC COUGH, AS WAY OF INTERRUPTION.
GLENDA ROBINSON
Uh- Um.
(O.S.)
Oswald reluctantly stops himself, by the interruption.
INT. GLENDA ROBINSON.
The School Principal, aged 32. Blonde like Golden Hair and Brown Eyes. Her face appears tense and strict, as she darts her eyes at Oswald. Her eyes glaring at him, like a Mannequin still in a shop window.
GLENDA
When you're quite finished Mr Johnson, your class is very much in the time scale of just getting underway. Don't make yourself, my first casualty for Detention of Senior Year.
Oswald glances to Harvey and Cliff, who mellow and then to Harry, who stands staring at his adversary, smugly. Oswald lowers the toothpick out of his mouth.
OSWALD
See ya later, Asshole. Don't forget to cry to that Big Brother of yours.
Oswald, Harvey and Cliff make themselves scarce.
INT. DOMINIC KING
A somewhat tall brown haired, looking nerd enters, through the Main door, just as Oswald and his cronies turn right to go upstairs. Oswald wastes no time, to intimidate his next victim. He maneouvres his head towards the student, who feels a little threatened by the Bully.
OSWALD
Oh, look the Creepo.
Harvey gives Dominic a nudge and they start laughing menacingly, when they go out of sight. Dominic heads to his locker.
Glenda Robinson shakes her head in dismay, at the appalling attitude and behaviour of Oswald and the way he conducts himself and the way he becomes abusive and threatening to others. Glenda shows some compassion to Harry and touches his shoulder.
GLENDA
I wish you just walk away Harry. I wouldn't want to have to suspend you or give you detentions on your last year of Senior.
HARRY
Sorry, Mrs Robinson. I'm not back five minutes and already he wants to get at me, because of my brother and...
(hesitating)
As if there is another reason. Harry stares in the direction of the School Entrance, not finishing his sentence. He appears to be distracted by something...or someone.
INT. TINA & GREG MCQUIRE.
The twins enter the School.
HARRY P.O.V.
His eyes are fixed on the Tina. The love of his life. The girl of his dreams, who for some reason, is not yet in a relationship with her, despite knowing each other for Eleven years.
IN SLOW MOTION, TINA WALKS IN HARRY'S DIRECTION.
Harry is in a trance, as he becomes fixated by pretty brown eyes and long Brown Hair.
Glenda listens on, expecting Harry to open up to her. Glenda manages to get Harry's attention, by tapping him on the shoulder.
GLENDA
Harry? You were saying?
HARRY
Never mind.
Glenda takes a deep sigh.
GLENDA
You have been, one of my most gifted students - male students that is. If you ever feel you need to get anything off your chest..my door is always open.
Glenda tenderly touches his arm from the shoulder, down to the top of his hand, almost as if she is giving him the come on. She smiles affectionately.
GLENDA
You best get going. Don't want you being late for class.
Harry nervously nods and smiles.
HARRY
Thanks - Mrs Robinson.
Dominic closes his locker, watching on and Glenda smirks and winks at him, acknowledging his presence.
GLENDA
Dominic.
DOMINIC
Morning Mrs Robinson.
Glenda heads to her office and Harry looks back to Tina, who is sorting out her locker, while Greg hurriedly selects his books for class. Harry walks over, trying not to be too shy and greets Tina.
HARRY
Morning.
Tina's eye dart to Harry and she pleasantly responds to his nice manners. She appears to be thrilled to see him, but also is in a rush.
TINA
Oh hi. Sorry, Harry. What a day to be in a rush. First day of Senior year.
HARRY
Same here.
TINA
Apologies for not making it to the Barbeque last week. Something came up. Your Mom, must have gone to so much trouble.
HARRY
It's fine. I understand. Nothing went to waste.
Harry glances to Greg, who doesn't seem to notice, he's there. Harry tries to get some encouragement from Tina's Twin sibling.
HARRY
You OK Greg?
Greg appears to be in a World of his own and seems to be quite brief by Harry's introduction.
GREG
Uh - yeah.
Greg walks off, not having much time to make conversation. Harry finds Greg a little off and seems curious as to why he looks glum. Tina can sense, Harry has quickly noticed, Greg is looking glum. Tina closes her locker, as she and Harry watch her brother, make himself scarce.
TINA
He's fine. He's just...
HARRY
I understand.
Harry looks longingly into Tina's eyes, as he can sense there's some little sadness in her eyes. She has something bottled up inside.
HARRY
How about you? Is everything alright at home?
Harry's concern touches a nerve slightly. Tina tries not to be overcome with emotion. Harry forward thinking, has her feeling touched by his concern. Almost as if, he knows what goes on behind closed doors. Tina gulps, keeping her emotions in check.
TINA
As well as it can be. You?
HARRY
Yeah it's...same old, same old.
INT. BETHANY MORRISON
Stood at the bottom of the staircase, Bethany watches on jealously watching on. She feels for Harry, the way Harry feels for Tina. She glares at them briefly, before turning in some sadness and heading to class. Dominic notices Bethany watching Harry and Tina in conversation and he too heads off to class.
TINA
(to Harry)
Is that a bad thing?
HARRY
I don't know. I've never really thought about it. I might consider it, before end of Senior year.
TINA
A lot can happen between now and then.
HARRY
The only way is up.
TINA.
Have you thought about, what you want to do..in the future.
HARRY
I want to be an Architect. I want to build things.
Tina finds Harry's choice at career promising.
TINA
I want to be a singer. Actress maybe.
HARRY
You have the voice of an angel.
Tina rolls her eyes and giggles at the same time.
TINA
How many time have you told me that?
(playful sarcasm)
HARRY
What about Greg?
TINA
In truth, I'm not sure. He especially wants to be set high standards by father. It scares me a little. Greg's my twin brother, yet Daddy is not as strict with me, as he is with Greg. I don't know, where he went wrong.
HARRY
That's the difference between your brother and mine. Greg keeps his feelings bottled up. Jeff well..he's...
TINA
Jeff?
Harry goes into thought.
HARRY
Yeah.
(The 1978 Country Song 'Every Which Way But Loose,' by Eddie Rabbitt, play's into the next scene).
(I've always been the kind of man, who doesn't believe in strings
Long term obligations, are just unnecessary things
But, girl you got me thinking, while I'm drinking one more beer
If I'm headed for a heartache then, why the hell am I still here?)
EXT. HEX-VILLE HIGH STREET.

The two calmly stop at standing at the edge of the sidewalk, looking over to hardware store, where two cars park up in the Lot. One is a RED CHEVROLET CHEVELLE. The other is 1971 WHITE DODGE CHALLENGER.
('I'm testing my resistance and it's wearin' mighty thin
I've got the feeling I should leave, before the roof caves in
My mind tells me to move long, but my body begs me to stay
And now I feel the need, to hold you close
And love the night away
While you're turning me...')
INT. HARDWARE STORE.
CAMERA ZOOMS INTO THE BACK OF A YOUNG FEMALE STOOD AT THE COUNTER. SHE TURNS AROUND.
INT. CARLA MORRISON
An attractive, long dark haired, green eyed, Twenty Three year Old. Wearing a low cut dark blouse and Mini Skirt. She greets two middle aged men, with beards and looking broad.
The two men appear to become sexually attracted to Carla very quickly and she starts to flaunt herself to the two males. She leans back against the counter, spreading her arms out and crossing her legs. She licks her lips, teasing the two.
CARLA
Looking for some action boys?
The two men act cool and loosen the buttons on their shirts, as they start to sweat, with the intensity.
MALE 1
What do you have in mind sweetheart?
CARLA
How about we go for a ride and I'll give you both a ride. You know what I mean?
(winking)
Male 2 gets excited.
MALE 2
Oh, hell, yes.
Carla stands up straight, continuing to manipulate the male customers, by acting seductive.
CARLA
Lead the way boys.
EXT. HARDWARE STORE
EXT. MALE 1. MALE 2.
The two men exit the Hardware store, feeling like they're in luck. They then abruptly stop and look completely horrified. The CHEVROLET CHEVELLE and DODGE CHALLENGER are gone. They have been stolen. The two men are in turmoil and male 1 grabs his head in dismay.
MALE 1
What the fuck?
('Every Which Way But Loose
You turn me, Every Which Way But Loose
Inside the Fires burnin' me, In my mind, you just keep turnin' me
Every Which Way But Loose
Baby, there's no excuse, to turn me
Every Which Way But Loose..')

Looking pleased with himself, looking out of the drivers window after committing.
INT. DODGE CHALLENGER. HANK WILLIS
He too looks like he's on top of the World, following a Car Jacking.
The two look at each other, joyous to a job well one, as they floor the Gas on their stolen Vehicles.
AERIAL SHOT OF COUNTRY ROAD.
They come to like a T Junction and the car's split in different directions. The Chevrolet Chevelle goes right and the Dodge Challenger steers left. Both going very rapidly.
THE SUN BEAMS DOWN ON A CLEAR DAY OVER THE HORIZON.
('When the sun comes up in the morning, It should find me some place new
But, right this minute, all I want, is to lay here next you
Those memories still keep calling me, from somewhere in my past
Better hurry, if they want me
Coz I can feel me fading fast
While you're turnin' me...')

Good job boys. Daddy's coming to check the Merchandize.
(to himself)
Albert starts the Patrol Vehicle and exits the Precinct in Hot Pursuit...
Or is it a Pursuit?
('Every Which Way But Loose

The Patrol car comes to a stop.
