Grilled cheese good? Anything good to eat here

car horn
Beth chill
what's she doing in there
no idea but quit molesting me with that noise
my wheel my horn
car horn
dick
I.D.?
For real
I guess there's at least 21 years of
experience in that face
thanks for that
how long?
T-minus 30 seconds
you into space rockets?
Are you into medicine?
Why?
What have you got?
Never mind
heading to a party?
Camping
dressed for it
have a good time
we already have drinks
buried in the back
food stink
much needed hangover fuel
punishment for staying out latest
you lightweight it was your party
I had first drive this morning
but you had no excuse April
you should have been carried out of that bar
I'm glad I went home when I did okay
I'm just starting to feel human-ish
So, Suzy baby as bad as you're feeling
kick back, relax and enjoy the view
while we drive your ass all over the place
three weeks to the driving test okay
fourth time lucky baby
fuck off baby
Jackie woke up and vommed by the way
you got a signal
in and out
so we must be pretty far out then right
yup and it's gonna be well worth the journey
once you see the view
oh do we have to wear these costumes the whole way
do not be a killer of joy
I'm a traditionalist
besides it's always supposed to be the bride
that wears the costume
nothing about you is traditional Suz
yeah and I'm wearing a badge as well aren't I??
False advertising
well maybe you should try it on Suz, because I have a feeling
it'll fit you like a glove
ouch
speaking of sluts..
You snuck off very quietly with
mr creepy film director guy
okay, you have my full attention
he wasn't that creepy looking
what prompted this delicit little rendezvous
as you know Beth
beers and jaeger seem to make creepy look interesting
it has been known yes
plus he kept saying I look like Mia Wallace which helps
from school?
The clumsy chick that couldn't make cheer squad?
No movie lover is our April
no you ass
the babe from Pulp Fiction, Uma Thurman
how many girls with a bob
have heard a line like that I wonder?
I don't have a bob
I know I'm just saying I bet it's a very well used line
I can see it actually
jokes!
Bullshit
if you're not too busy back there though
we'll hear the rest of that story please thank you
oh my God April there's really not that much to tell
well knowing you I'm sure he didn't go home
completely empty-handed
so?
We parked outside
under a tree by my house
made out
he successfully placed his fingers in my panties
I checked his fingernails first
sufficiently clean
and then yeah, he adequately completed the task
at hand
and then I started to give him a hand too
oh stop you're killing me porn face
unfortunately for him the porch lights came on a little bit too soon
and I was out of the car and inside before he knew what was happening
that's a good thing too my dad was coming out to see who was parked
whatever happened to I do you
and you do me
shit happens sweetie
besides he was better off not getting caught by dad
after an evening sponsored by rittenhouse rye
can you imagine
that would have been pretty awful
all right don't get all weird princess
oi
Oi?
You're not english
poor guy thought his lucky number had come up
leaving with the high school cock dog eating champion
please that tiny thing was no challenge
okay, important part of the trip coming up
halfway selfie stop
for real B?
Yes for real
we gotta record this trip for social media posterity
oh God well be careful
the internet might actually break under the weight of such posterity
laugh all you want but in 20 years time
and you can't fit in your skinny jeans anymore
and you're fetching beers for your fat ass
grumpy husband
you look back at these photos and you'll thank me
wow another portion of bleak please
you ladies are in charge this weekend is all about saying
farewell to my youth and hello to the rest of my life
I'm down. So record it all
make it count bitches
team player
there is always a chance she'll look back on these photos
and blame us for letting her get hitched so damn young
nah don't start that yet
the boyfriend baiting show does not
begin for at least another hour
okay as long as it's planned
why do we have to walk so damn high for a picture
this better be a damn good ass picture
how about that brown sandy backdrop
oh wait how about that one or that one
if we climb up that dune we ought to get
a good one with the angle of the light
exactly how long have you been attending
this evening class
you don't take a good photograph you make one
ah Christmas cracker wisdom?
Just get ready to pose
beautiful day ain't it?
Or a hell of a dream maybe
wet dream
monsoon
locals on a charm offensive
you girls lost out here?
Oh no we're good just enjoying the view
sure is easy to get lost wandering about these dunes
we won't don't worry photo taken
our friends sat in the car waiting for us so no dramas
ain't no drama
where you headed?
Oh no
hold on wait enjoy the view a little more
can I take your picture too
I can give you my confession sister
she's the nun asshole
bitch
oh no no way
oh please start
I'll be your friend
time to go April
say cheese muthafucka
no more pictures
lovely meeting you fellas
catholic school must have been a bitch
ain't no hiding in the desert
these costumes have got to go
Beth did you have to do that
of course she did
it would be no fun without some lunatics chasing us
you know it
are you okay Suz
there's a time and a place for hair pulling am I right?
Clearly you're fine then
I'm calling this one
the portrait of a desert meth head
and it's insta-live
am I the only one who shook up here
we went to college in the deep south honey
that was just first base
I can't see a car so hopefully they aren't following
I saw a red truck park a ways off it'll take them ages to stumble off and
get it if they do want to play chase
uh that's not comforting at all
no more desert stops until the campsite now
in other news this is a great photo of us
ooh let me see
one second
hiding photos there Beth?
Abso-fucking-lutely
oh that is really cute can you send it to me
Suzy honey could you pass me my things?
Yeah just show April a photo of herself
and the crazy stalkers are instantly forgotten
uh like you're any different
right oh can you help me take this off then
what have you got underneath
stuff that's fine to drive in
oooh
ice pack? Chastity belt?
Granny panties?
None of which are fine to drive in trust me
oh
And relax
I'm waiting for my time
and little do I know it's already here
RV park up ahead
Beth
ignore it keep going
ignore the sign for the park we've arranged to stay at?
Can you please explain?
We're going wild camping
there's a spot in the desert where I always wanted to go and hike
and camp just us and the stars
barbecue, beers it's stunning I promise
yeah I mean who needs running water?
Or a bathroom
I packed toilet paper
and what about security
in the middle of the freaking desert
actually
Beth!
Oh my God you brought it
why?
I borrowed the one that dad
the NO G plays with least
oh you're a g for sure honey
a serious G
you had something to do with this Suzy?
I may have pointed out the inherent safety issues in desert camping
and how best to mitigate them
hush now this is just in case
how many horror films start with a bunch of girls
in the desert right
yeah or an asshole with a gun
hence why you're not touching it honey
it's true April you can be quite an asshole
well sorry sweetie but if this is a horror movie
obviously I'll be getting slaughtered first
oh no
okay can you just keep your eyes on the road bimbette
brought him along for the ride then?
Oh thank God he can't actually hear you
I'm not sure Richie would love you and your x-rated date stories
oh please filthy fucking football player
thanks Suz
oh that's right he was a
virgin when he met you
he's a sweet man is all you need to know
um
A sweet man who quarterbacked the
football team through most of high school
and then again at college
don't go there Suz
I'm just saying
I'm sure he barely gave the cheerleaders the time of day at state
Suzy!
He's a man and therefore can never be trusted
don't marry him
he's disgusting
revolting
cut off his
dick
too much
you're right the wedding's off
but we still get to party all weekend right
oh definitely but you return the gifts
I can live without three toasters
but not without us
what are the chances that we missed a turning already
doubtful
but it was years ago that I was out here
so we just keep driving then?
As I recall we'll see the rock around the time we reach the turning
so no rock no problems yet
okay and if we don't see the rock then
presumably you admit we're lost and have fucked up on an epic scale
not lost girls just scenic vibes
wait what about asking that guy
would he know?
He looks pretty local an old boy like him is bound to know the
state like the back of his hand
you mean on account of the fact that it
used to belong to them
basically yeah but let's maybe not have
that conversation with him besides who said he's a native american?
Oh that's right he's not wearing a coachella headdress
so he can't be
oh my god not the coachella thing again
why isn't he moving?
I guess we just go and ask him right
great idea
okay I guess I will go and ask him
I'm sorry to wake you but do you have
come see my art
um actually I just need directions to Raven's Rock I don't know
how about I come see your art?
This is a beautiful painting of the desert we're in right now
yeah it's lovely but I don't need any art I'm afraid
and who told you that?
Well no one but I um
where are you headed to mademoiselle?
Actually you should ask our guide that uh Beth?
Hello
do you know how to get to Raven Rock?
Come to catch a raven?
Uh no
Raven Rock
a good place for answers
assuming you got a question?
And hopefully a good place to camp I'm told
good friends?
Yeah why?
Friendship can be as blind as love
but the raven can illuminate the truth among the lies
it brings changes
both wanted
and unwanted
the raven can take many forms
perhaps you're the raven
no dude I'm not the raven
you
let me have your hand for a moment
April
I have a painting for you mademoiselle
I really don't want any pictures sir
but a map?
One that your guide can follow to Raven Rock
just as you had asked
not quite G-Maps is it?
We are here
it's there
and the road runs this way
thank you
ten bucks
oh of course
good sale
good value
good luck
that was intense
is the map really making sense Beth?
Kinda but we'll know soon enough
good because I am fucking bored of
sitting in this tin can
my ass hurts I need to stretch out
shut up backseat
oh backseat what's up with you?
You know what? Can I just see the map?
Oh be careful with that though it's a nice souvenir
the only thing I want to know is
why the fuck am I the raven?
okay see that way up there?
Yeah is that the rock?
Jesus as if we could miss that
okay well next time you say 30 I'll know to double it
ladies and bitches I give you Smoke Creek State Park and Raven Rock
don't tell me it wasn't worth the extra drive?
Well I have to say freaking yes baby
this is stunning
where are all the ravens?
Enough with the ravens
are we actually on a reservation right now?
Maybe close to otherwise he wouldn't have made such a big deal about the place
they say the whole area is pretty mystical etc etc
wow they do?
Oh yeah lots of stories and stuff
I have to admit I don't know anything about it
neither do I
oh yeah this whole area is literally
littered with graves and stuff
stories about peeps seeing things here
that go way back
graves?
Oh no come on you guys please tell me
we're not here on some sort of ghost hunt
come on it's not for a bachelorette party a dumbass bachelor party maybe but
April?
What?
How's your leg?
What? Why?
I don't know beth is yanking on it really hard
honey you should see your face
this place is known for pretty rocks and sweet nothing else as far as I know
so let's get ready to camp so we can hike up for the view and
be back in time for a feast at sunset
God please let's stretch first you sadist
if you're gonna do it do it but you're
not getting out of any unpacking
wait for me you bitches
that's the last of it
comfy Suz?
Just rinsing off your beer
I propose we catch the last of the sun
okay don't get too comfortable
I second it
we haven't even set up properly yet
let's just take a quick moment of relaxation
come on beth it's my party
ok fine but I'm not doing it on my own
tunes on please?
Okay fine chill
I have to charge my phone soon anyway
oh good difficult jazz
maybe you are the raven?
Shush
okay girls so in high school our goal was to go to college
which we've already done now
we've barely had any time since we've been back
to catch up and hang out just the three of us
so 'Ape' what's the next move?
Ape!
don't fucking call me that again 'Floozy'
ok ok come on?
Well shit sweetie if you recall I am getting married in a minute so it's kinda
of taken up all my time since I got back
and then it's all baking and babies for you
yeah for sure as soon as possible
no okay well not right away right? You just spent all that time studying
I'm sure you want to use it for something
well yeah but I mean there's not a ton of journalism jobs back home so I might
have to think exactly how I want to use my degree
yeah well you're not planning to stay back there anyway
bright lights big city remember
yeah but Richie and I have talked about it and
he and my mom agree that maybe running away straight off is not the right call
here it comes
here what comes?
Richie and your mom agree?
Babe?
Richie and your mom don't need to be planning life for you
I have a say in it too girls
does Richie's job with his dad
have anything to do with it?
Oh come on we would be dumb to turn that down
Ah Richie
good guy
but he wasn't gonna go anywhere far from home
with a job for life dangled in front of him
wow I didn't realize the two of you thought so highly of my fiancee
honestly girls it's a well-paid job and he'll probably end up running the
company one day
do any of us have a good an offer as that on the table?
Actually I have some job news I was saving up
well come on missy let's hear it
I was up for a kinesiologist assistant position
yes?
For a team
yes?
I wasn't sure I was gonna get it
Jesus Beth just spit it out
Arizona Cardinals!
I know it's so junior but the coach is a huge track fan and he knows me from my
stuff in college so they were really keen to give me a shot
wait so does that mean
no
Yep I'm moving to glendale
you're moving?
Well the job doesn't come with free chopper rides honey
so yes I gotta go
but what about the Phys Ed job back here then?
Jacked it
I gotta get the fuck out of the village
and up close and personal with some pro football torso
I'm just kidding about the village honey but just remember don't settle for
anything less than what you want
I know I know and you know that I'm
happy for you you little shit
can I just give you one piece of advice?
Of course
try not to do the entire team in the first week
just space it out a bit please
understanding your college strategy a bit more now Suz
it's all juice for the book after all
oh my God how far have you got with it now?
Oh yeah when is the Twerker in the Rye hitting the bookshelf?
Ah the Trasher in the Rye
Do the Nasty in the Rye
okay okay all are better titles than
What I Really Learned In College by Suzy Fisher
Copyright!
No I reckon I'm about three quarters in I'm just thinking about adding a
what it was like coming home bit
starring us
well obvs it's always about you
well I can't wait to read it babe so hurry the fuck up
me neither knowing you it'll be pretty x-rated
so in that case I suggest that we toast to some pretty good
shit that we got going on
to us ladies nothing more nothing less
what's going on?
Girls wake up the lights have gone out
solar ones don't last the whole night go back to sleep
there was a noise I think Suzy did you hear it?
Until I need to pee I don't care
and then I'll just pee on you prom queen
okay fine if you're not worrying then I won't either
something's here with us
I heard it shush
okay fuck face we aren't gonna
who's out there?
Listen this isn't funny anymore okay
so why don't you and your friend just
hey, you ever see what a nine millimeter
pistol will do to an asshole's face?
Fuck off I will shoot you
oh something's touching me
stop it it's just me okay stay close
quiet something's moving
ah somethings just hit me
I warned you don't come close
ah my God,
something just fucking hit me
and now my ears are ringing
here are all the missing lights, very funny
throw some around so we can see who's still out here
asshole's trying to scare us
I'm way past scared okay if I wasn't half drunk
right now I'd be fucking freaking out
they were just pulling a shitty prank on us
then why fire a gun beth?
It was just a warning shot
shush and listen
what are they doing?
I think they're by where we parked now
yes I've locked it before you ask
we scared the shit out of them
and out of me a little bit too
yeah and me too a lot
I'll kick your ass if you come back
if only they could hear you I'm sure they'd be scared shitless
yeah or they might actually come back let's avoid that
if they wanted to do anything serious they would right?
Let's just all relax and since we went
through the to the. Trouble of unpacking a tent let's just sleep in it
as opposed to just leaving quickly there's no way that I can go back to sleep
I'm sure those idiots realized it's bedtime
and are gone for good
besides it's gonna be light soon anyway
we can stay awake tomorrow we'll switch camp just to be sure
but do we even want to be inside a camp we can't see what's outside
we only have to watch the entrance this way
I'm still a bit drunk
still on edge
there are sleeping tablets in my bag
but you have to get them
my real deal baby blues
I'll manage thanks
they'll knock you out
I'm not going to sleep
me neither
your face is hot
it's too early for flirting
no I mean it's like 150 degrees in here
good morning to you too
I can see we all kept watch diligently his action jackson still on duty
yes... no I don't know
I think I maybe got an hour's sleep
same. I'm fried
I can't actually fucking breathe in here
you would think with such discomfort it would force us out of bed
plus I know Beth must be hungry
Beth is your stomach rumbling yet?
It is isn't it?
Beth?
Beth!
Fuck I fold let me out
an athlete's weakness is her stomach
I'm starved
I know I'll help get some eggs on the go
uh start with coffee if you'd like to avert homicide
start with food or I go cannibal
that was definitely coming from where we parked
is that them again? Third time lucky
what do you mean third?
Yeah they passed us on the road after we got the map same truck anyway
while we were buying the map right?
No, after that
a little ways down from that artist guy
maybe it's four then.
A car like that passed us while we were paying.
These guys have stalked us four times now?
Jesus you guys why didn't either of you speak up?
I just didn't want to worry everyone when I wasn't sure
oh great thanks thank you so much for
bringing me into the middle of nowhere for safety
if it's okay with you I'd like to not stay out here a second longer
with these fucking crazies stalking us let's pack up our shit please and maybe
try the actual campsite okay
maybe you're right
no no no more maybes my party my call let's pack up now please
look at the wheel
what?
No way Richie checked the whole car over before we left
oh my god the caps are gone
it must have been those guys
tell me you have a spare?
Of course I have a spare I'm not an idiot
how about two spares?
What?
Same deal real jokers
oh my God
I'm gonna have to call someone out here
no signal
ditto
it's charging at camp but don't get your hopes up
so are you saying we're gonna have to walk out of here
we cannot stay here another night
I hope we don't have to but it's better than
walking around here all night it's about 40 miles just to the main road
a dawn start for sure besides if those idiots do decide to
come back again another little warning shot will probably scare them off
yeah or maybe they'll just fucking shoot back
not helping Suze
I'm not trying to, this is really bad
oh my God what are we gonna do
calm down Ape
don't fucking call me Ape
okay okay let's just all wait and see if
I have signal before we get completely freaked out
fine
I'm sorry I shouted
it's all right don't worry
it's all right
dumb bitch
don't worry those guys are not gonna come back, we're gonna get signal
we're just gonna get out of here, it'll be okay don't worry
I can't I have to go pee
hey cowgirl
you left a present for our friends
stick it on the cooler Suz
April!
Give me my phone I need to call 911
Keep your hand on this
Give me my phone
The phones don't work
oh I still don't have a fucking signal
April what did I do?
You shot her Suzy
come on come on Beth
it was an accident
Beth! Wakeup!
Oh my god I'm gonna go to prison I'm gonna go to prison April
they're gonna send me to prison April April April?
What? She's dead I don't know
okay she's fucking dead she's dead
what do you want me to tell you come on?
It was an accident
Beth?
I think we should hike up high and get a signal
and we can't just sit here like this
in the movies
when somebody dies in the desert
the vulture's come
I thought you were gonna cover her
susie come on
come on
let's do it
okay do you want to go get changed?
oh God it's Beth's phone it has signal
April?
Are you calling 911?
April what is it?
It's a message from Richie
your fiance Richie?
Yeah my Richie
what is he messaging her about?
Um
He said er
April? What did he say?
Hey sexy
I hope the cheerleaders haven't bored you to death yet
I don't know about you but every now and then
just isn't enough
he was seeing Beth
hey
are you ok?
I feel dizzy
April?
April April April
come on April April April
you're waterboarding me whoah
ohhh
hey it was his fault
how could he do that to us?
Okay it's just so typical
yeah she wasn't typical though was she?
Are you thinking about the wedding?
No
I don't see how that can happen now right?
I mean that's not at all what I'm thinking about
can our lives be like more of a royally fucked up mess right now?
Full on fucking nightmare
cause she's fucking your fiancé
and I fucking killed her and then we found out what she did to you
yeah I didn't know at the time of course
yeah all because she brought a gun to a
fucking bachelorette party all of this had to happen
I've got to be about to wake up
you know I don't even know what your parents are gonna hate more
the fact that their little society wedding is getting binned
or their daughter being part of a homicide thanks to that awful awful Suzy
oh my God stop my head can't take this right now
I'm just going to jail
I'm going to jail because everyone is fucking everyone else
fuck and I was a bit careless
I was a bit careless yeah
Suzy?
I just want to know I wonder why she brought it?
Wait was it for you?
Is this why we're in the middle of fucking nowhere?
What?
I wonder if she would have minded
if you got shot instead?
What do you mean?
She wanted what's yours right?
Oh my god Suzy you can't fucking think like that
I can't think like that
I can't think at all right now okay nothing this is all just too much
it was an accident
okay and now they're going to take me away from you as well
Richie, Beth and me
I can't do it
which bit April?
Losing everything, everyone
it could be worse
worse? How hmm?
Motive
what? Like some plan?
I mean think about it
once they realise that she was seeing your fiancé
they're gonna automatically assume that
it wasn't an accident at all
do you see how that looks?
Oh my god
oh my god it looks awful so so so so
instead of you getting blamed for an accident
we're both getting blamed for a murder?
No no fucking way Suzy I'm a victim here
just as much as she is
April
I don't want to go to prison
we're the only ones that saw what happened
so?
So we'll make something up
we don't need to make anything up it was an accident
I'll still go to jail
but maybe there was another way that this happened
what and say what lie?
She shot herself in the chest?
I don't think that's very likely
I don't know April I wasn't planning on this okay
just let me think
maybe we maybe we didn't see what happened?
What maybe we didn't see what happened what maybe we didn't see her get shot?
Yeah maybe
maybe nobody shot her...
somebody definitely shot her
no no no maybe she went hiking
and never came back
I don't follow
but what if we were too hungover to go with her and she went without us
well I mean she would have gone whether we went or not you know what she's like
and because she has a phone she would have posted photos to prove it right
right but I mean Suzy
yeah I know
we're gonna have to hide the body
what?
Fuck off Suzy no that is not what I was gonna say
oh my God your mind is going
to places I can't even comprehend right now do you even hear yourself?
Huh?
They were cheating on you
for God knows how long
maybe it's just karma right
do you want to go to jail?
No no I don't want to go to jail okay fine
you're right yes
that would be the next step okay just hiding her body hadn't even occurred to me
oh God Suzy
what?
You missed a bit seriously?
Yeah
it's a shame I'm not wearing my nurse costume
nobody would have questioned me
okay that was a really bad joke I'm sorry
let's just go take some fucking photos okay
I guess we are doing that fuckin damn hike after all hey
ugh
April?
Yeah?
How long do you think it's been going on?
I'm trying not to think about that
we could look at the messages?
See how far back they go
I have nearly 20 years of memories of the two of them
ten years in a real relationship with Richie
I need to protect some of those memories because if I imagine that they've been
smiling at me all this time and just twisting
and twisting a knife right in my back it kind of makes me sick
I mean if you had any doubts about what we're doing then maybe knowing how long
I just feel cold
or detached maybe I don't know it's weird
what's wrong?
Nothing nothing
this place
what about it
it's just I just don't feel right
like do you want to read this or not
yeah yeah maybe I should
but maybe you shouldn't
um
I'm finding it really easy to hate their guts
never mind don't read it
no?
It's not healthy
are you sure?
Yes
okay your face says enough
what doesn't kill you makes you stronger right?
Then we should have superpowers or something
let's just keep going then
yeah
wow she was right it is spectacular
it's kind of poetic
everything we've been through
now that we're at the top we're just gonna leave it all behind us
quite the analogy
that's me
no no it's not
all right let me take a few photos then
tag it...
'what a shame the others are missing out'
then everybody will think that we stayed behind
oh my God so dark but yeah I guess
I can write it
no it's okay I've already started
oh shit wow she really did post that picture of those desert dudes
lots of comments here from friends about being careful out here
maybe those guys will get the blame
can you imagine?
April what is it?
Here you write it
are we doing the right thing Suz?
I mean I know it's not the right thing but
are we doing it for the right reasons?
I just wonder
who else knows that he was seeing her?
Who else is going to wonder if we did this on purpose?
Even if the cops believe us or not this is gonna stick
but if I can save you from being punished for an accident then
I gotta do it right?
I mean you didn't really wanna kill Beth did you?
All the time
that's not funny
thank you for doing this for me
well either you go to jail for an accident
or we're both suspects for shooting my fiance's mistress
some choice
just do it
okay I posted it
I guess we should turn off the phone now
wait
are you sure I shouldn't read the messages first?
Just let me do you a favor okay
friends forever April
you said it
so there's only one thing left to do
yep
we just uh we can't hide her here
we have to do it somewhere that's away from camp
no I'm gonna get a drink or two first
I feel weird about touching her
um really? Because I'm completely fine
dragging around the dead girl you shot
April!
Well what do you want of course
it's gonna be weird have you ever even seen a dead body
oh she's not cold like I thought she'd be
she is dead right?
Oh okay
just please don't let me do this by myself
no I'm gonna help
ready?
She's heavy!
Okay well we have to try a lot harder than that
I am trying
well try harder otherwise she's not gonna go anywhere
all right chill go
you're still digging though
well somebody's got to
we should burn any clothes that have blood on them
yeah of course
accessorizing April?
Oh no but we do have to spend the night here so
I want to make sure I keep it close
let's put her in
farewell to 15 years of friendship
good riddance
you say that pretty easily Suz
I read the messages April she had a few opinions about me as well
like what?
Nothing I want to talk about
is there something you're not telling me?
Whatever let's just cover her okay
three stuck-up little princesses
came to enjoy the view
but their gun went bang
and then there were two
fuck
told you she wasn't going to be much for foreplay didn't I Wally?
But a fuck seems only fair in exchange for us to keep your dirty little secret
it's not worth it
it's us or a whole lot of us
you may recall meeting the boys last night
they were quite taken with the buffet
you sicko!
So you'll play nice or there's gonna be a lot more guests
now can you keep a secret blondie?
Please please don't touch me
the word please can be such a turn on
when you hear it over and over again
Eli!
I do believe she's jealous
back over to that fucking hole
Wally what's my first rule of double dates?
Stake a clear claim and stick to it
now why haven't you got your claim under control
I said back the fuck
the fuck I will
then I'll fuckin drag you then
Suzy!
first I'm gonna choke you
hey
get off her
are you ok?
They'll either report us
or they'll come back when we're sleeping
April! go
April don't let them get away
April
two more dead people
they would have killed us
you saved us
when you killed them I mean
maybe
you did too it was both of us
when do we report her missing?
We have to start walking somewhere in the morning somewhere we can call 911.
If he just wanted to be with her then why not just end it with me
I don't know April
but his waspy parents were never going to approve
of him marrying anyone like me or her though
or you?
You know what I mean
oh come on don't be naive Ape
perfect
popular prom queen April
never puts a foot wrong
well to do parents
good grades, studies hard
still with her high school sweetheart
okay you're going to make a great soccer mom one day
Suzy
I mean the cheer squad gave me some pseudo-validation
and Beth's athletics for sure
but who wants parents like mine
and their love of a bottle
or my asshole delinquent brother
who would steal anything just to get loaded
why are you sounding like such a fucking victim?
Oh
Don't worry I don't feel like one
c'est la vie, sweet pea
it's life
the way it is for some of us
you just gotta do that bit of extra to get what you want
so what hmm?
You want me to be ashamed of my background?
Trust me
my life is not some fucking fairy tale okay
I have my own issues to deal with
okay
what's the hardest thing you ever had to deal with?
You know what shut up
I know my problems may not seem so much to you
but trust me they exist
okay you see your family as useless
but I see you as having more freedom than I've ever felt
I'm second-guessed, extra-analyzed, overruled all the fucking time by my mom
is this a suitable thing for a Jones daughter to be doing?
What will people think?
What will we take away from her if she doesn't comply
my upbringing has left me pathetically terrified to live my own life
at the risk of losing the gilded shiny comfortable existence I know
poor fucking you
and because I am so shamefully afraid of that
I do exactly what they want every single fucking time
I don't know maybe that's why I'm with Richie in a way
he comes from money
I won't have to rely on my parents for anything anymore
you mean you don't even love him
of course I love him
ah
Sometimes I think I may need him a little more than I love him
for the record
having drunk parents
does not represent freedom
in any way you fucking asshole
I'm sorry
that's not what I meant you know that
its just hard to explain
ditch him
and the family
and get on with your life
I wonder if I'd be better at just never going back and just drive straight on past
but then he gets away with everything
all the sympathy, poor Richie his fiancee left him
and that's just not right
well what can we do about that?
Nothing right now
just stay away
but wow I would really like some payback
payback
now that doesn't sound like princess April
ah forget it
how are you feeling?
I don't know
somehow I feel like everything was supposed to happen
well that's just crazy
I'm not crazy
I didn't say you were
I'm just glad I still have you at least
I don't know where my head would be right now without you
maybe go a little bit insane
I feel like I have already
how is it not the right thing to say the truth?
Just be honest
I know
April
huh?
Sorry yeah no
of course I'm not gonna say anything
I'm so tired I can't even think straight
just keeping me out here in this desert when I have to get back
my boyfriend is waiting for me
MY Richie... is coming to get me
I called him to come pick me up
I just had to climb up the rock a little bit
and then bingo signal
when he gets here we can work everything out and I can forgive him about her
about Beth fucking Beth
she knew I liked him
she knew it and now look what happened look what happened
I just have to do that bit of extra to get what I fucking want
I don't know what happened to the other girls
they went looking for help with the car and
the desert's just so goddamn big
you know it's so easy to get lost in Beth said so herself
she warned us
and they never came back
it's so noisy the desert's supposed to be peaceful
you're not gonna be that much help at all are you?
[car engine approaches
hey Richie is that your girlfriend's car?
Yeah that's it
Suzy!
I'm here
oh god
miss Suzy are you unharmed
yeah but I'm freaking out
they've been gone a really long time and I wouldn't have stayed here the whole night
if I knew I had to be alone
well Richie here told us about your
your car's tire and uh the men
right the red truck um
that's why we're stuck here
but you saw them
not here we we saw the truck here
we saw them before on the way here well twice at least
same guys?
No the same truck so we automatically assumed the same guys
we didn't pass anyone along the road on the way up mam
is that the direction your friends took
no Beth said it would be quicker to cut across in that direction
okay just come over here and have a seat uh I need you to
start from the beginning okay
okay
they just kept walking until I couldn't see them anymore
okay thank you miss
start packing up the girl's car I'm gonna get on the horn and
call search and rescue get uh get em to put a bird up
get this escalated
in the meantime we need to get a APB out on that truck
she's in shock we need to get her comfortable
and get her over to the EMT
I'll get started
okay I'm gonna need any and every detail you can give me about that vehicle
and then I promise we'll get you out of here all right?
unit 31 be advised search and rescue will commence in 30 minutes
and an EMT unit is inbound over
copy 10-4 inform EMT that we're headed in their direction
and we're going to rv in route
10-4 31
Romero vamonos
help!
Help!
oh come on
I got her, hit the horn hit the horn let her know we're coming
stay back
that's April
April?
Yes
her hands and feet are bound they could still be in the vicinity
April who tied you up?
April who tied your hands?
She did
say that again April
she killed Beth
and she buried me alive
drop the gun miss Fisher
Richie please don't let them take me
Suzy what are you doing?
Drop the gun and we'll sort all this out
put the gun down
put the gun down right now miss Fisher
April what's going on?
so I didn't make the connection on the drive up
but yeah I watched all your games, could have sworn you go pro
I had a couple injuries I couldn't come back from
all done and dusted unfortunately
but I bet bet you had fun while it lasted
ladies love a quarterback right
yeah they do
so you're positive you have no idea who the mystery man is?
No Beths exact words were it's no one you know
and you never heard neither one of them mention his name
I literally found out when they began to argue I don't know
must be the first time they keep a secret from me
that secret turned into an argument which escalated into a shooting
apparently this guy's worth killing over I've yet to meet one of those myself
tell me again about the two men
they just saw her pointing the gun at me
while I was digging a hole
they didn't say anything? There were no introductions?
No it was just shouting at us
at her to put the gun down and stuff but like I said she just saw their gun
and shot at them I can't really blame her for that
they looked pretty crazy and we knew they were trouble since the first run in
okay look we're gonna get you down to the station and get you looked at
um but we're gonna need some more details
yeah
of course I understand I'll help any way I can
well it looks like your ride's almost ready hang tight a minute
April
I don't talk to strangers
April I didn't plan for all of this
I was sure you were going to blame me so I freaked
are you still trying to manipulate me
murderer
huh yeah I'm not buying the accidental gunshot anymore
how long have you been fucking my fiancé by the way?
Why haven't you mentioned that to the cops?
All the reasons you said he chose me over Beth
you're talking about yourself weren't you?
I don't understand you Suzy
after all the things we always thought about guys
why would you ever want one that's prepared to
treat a girl the way Richie's treated me huh
do you still want him?
Not for long and if you want him too you can forget about him
unless you're looking for a prison pen pal babe
I don't want him
he's lied to me, lied to you
probably lied to Beth
besides he chose you
he chose me all along you idiot
he needs me just as much as I need him
the dream wedding to the fucking prom queen his parents were going to give us
a pretty generous start in life
he's shallow but not completely stupid
and his parents love golden girl April remember?
They're just as stuck up as mine
so what happens now?
Right now we stop communicating ladies
hey is this something that you want to tell me right now?
No you understand about as much as I do officer
officer Barnes can we get going?
You have a great ending for your book now Suzy
let's go
that took a while
yeah
are you okay?
Yeah I'm fine
any news on Suzy?
She won't say a word apparently
can we go please I can't keep my eyes open?
Yeah yeah
how long have I been asleep?
Crashed out as soon as we hit the highway
a few hours
how are you feeling?
Fine
I was hoping you'd wake up so we could talk
Suzy sounded pretty crazy when she called me
she was saying some uh some ridiculous things about me and her
like what?
She didn't say anything to you?
Nuh uh
April?
I don't really feel like talking right now Richie
well when then?
Um there should be a gas station up ahead soon
pull in will you
what do you need?
I need to make a call
what's wrong with your phone?
Dead
so use mine it's right here
and I'm thirsty and I need the restroom
who do you need to call you can't speak to in front of me?
Sweetie
just pull the fucking car over okay?
Suit yourself
I'm thirsty too
mom?
It's me I'm okay
Beth's dead mom
yeah I know he called you but
yeah he's in the car we're driving back
no he's fine
mom listen mom stop talking
Richie was cheating on me with both of them
hello?
Mom are you there?
Did you hear what I just said?
After the wedding what?
You think I should still marry someone like that?
So send out uninvites put an ad in the fucking gazette for all I care
I'm talking to you now can you please listen to what I'm saying?
What part of that don't you understand? He was fucking my best friends please
I don't want to just come home and move on I'm just
I'm unhappy mom
I'm just asking you to be my mother
how will it ever be all right how? This is the rest of my life mom please
real baby blues
come on come on
how strong are you?
You took your time everything okay?
My turn to drive
I don't mind going the whole way
so I've heard
what?
I want to drive Richie it occupies my mind
are you sure you're up for it?
Just get in okay
eyes getting heavy huh?
Yeah yeah I guess it's a long ride out here
we should talk then before you sleep
yeah now you want to talk?
Yeah yeah now I feel like being in charge for a change
do you mind?
What?
What do you mean?
We both know you had to take my side back there
I mean you weren't gonna take poor fucking Suzy home to the parents were you huh?
Your mom was pretty specific about keeping me happy
and having the perfect fucking society wedding
it's not like that
oh don't bother
you know what I've been on this path for
so long with you I kind of felt like I had to see it out to conclusion I mean
if a marriage didn't work out then I'd divorce okay I mean
you know I wouldn't have to go crawling back to my parents but then
you had to go and fuck my so-called friends
hey April
I still want to marry you
maybe I could actually work on my parents a little I mean
a bereaved daughter is surely sympathetic although I'm not sure I can
put up with mom long enough for that though hmm
you do understand what you've pushed me to don't you?
Bereaved? What do you mean?
I mean there's not gonna be a wedding for you
not now, not ever, you son of a bitch
wha what's wrong with me?
Suzy's sleeping tablets
proper ones apparently
I mixed a bunch into that drink and in a minute
you'll be fast asleep
and you're not gonna wake up
April why?
I mean when everybody hears what you've done to me they'll understand
why I had to break up with you and maybe just just maybe
they'll understand why you couldn't
bear to go on without me
that you couldn't bear the shame of going home and having to explain to your family
how you'd finally broken my heart
poor April
I mean they'll say you didn't really want to kill himself
that it was just a cry for help but
I mean he just didn't realize how far help would be and
the desert is a really big place Richie
I hope your parents will get your obituary in the society pages
look at you fucking coward
you fucking coward look at me
look at me look at me look what you've
bye bye richie
oh you really are disgusting
