"EMMY’S ADVENTURES IN PADRE"
FADE IN:
EXT. SUBURBAN DALLAS NEIGHBORHOOD – NIGHT
We’re in front of a nice house in a Lake Highlands. Not as nice as Highland Park but well to do just the same. Many cars line the street in front of one house in particular. The lights are on and we can see shadows of people moving through the windows. One window in particular draws our attention and we move closer till…
INT. WILD PARTY IN HOUSE – NIGHT
BOOM! We’re inside and we’re in your parent’s worse nightmare. Mom and Dad are gone and the kids are living la vida loca. There are decorations on the wall, a Christmas tree, lights, a DJ, and astounding quantities of alcohol. College students stumble around drunkenly, dancing or at last attempting to, all to the DJ’s deafening beats. People are making out and one couple in particular is getting increasingly intense in their affections. They get crazy, find a bedroom, and close the door.
INT. WILD PARTY BEDROOM – NIGHT
The couple continues to make out sidestepping slowly till they hit a bed. The bed trips them and they fall sideways into the bed. The girl rolls over on top and props herself up on her hands and knees. She drops her head as if to kiss him again but stops.
KELLY
Are we about to have sex?
EMMY
I sure hope so!
Kelly leans into him brushing her lips over his as she leans closer to his ear.
KELLY
(whispering)
Only in your dreams…
INT. SAME HOUSE LIVING ROOM LATE FEBURARY – DAY
Emmy lounges on the couch watching television during the day when he should be in class. The phone rings and he answers. It’s Kelly!
EMMY
Hi.
INT. KELLY’S APARTMENT DAY
Kelly’s lying on her couch in a college logo t-shirt, short-shorts, and ankle socks – typical dorm room wear. Her feet are up on the arm rest and she’s cradling the phone in the crook of her neck. She’s twirling a finger in her hair. A huge poster adorns the wall behind her.
KELLY
Hi.
INT. SAME HOUSE LIVING ROOM LATE FEBURARY – DAY
Emmy is up now, striding to his bedroom.
EMMY
(Gruffly)
Whatcha want?
INT. KELLY’S APARTMENT DAY
KELLY
(tenatively)
Well I was wondering… I am going to Padre Island for Spring Break and I was wondering if you wanted to go?
INT. SAME HOUSE LIVING ROOM LATE FEBURARY – DAY
Emmy’s reached his room and he picks up a miniature soccer ball.
EMMY
So you can leave me with a hard-on every night for a week instead of just at Christmas parties once a year?
INT. KELLY’S APARTMENT - DAY
KELLY
(frowns)
No, because we’re renting a beach house and had some people back out.
INT. SAME HOUSE LIVING ROOM LATE FEBURARY – DAY
Now Emmy’s in the den and he’s juggling the soccer ball. The ball bounces off his thighs, his feet, and his head all with the phone clamped to his ear.
EMMY
(concentrating)
Who’s we?
INT. KELLY’S APARTMENT – DAY
KELLY
(bites her lip)
Me and some of my sorority sisters.
INT. SAME HOUSE LIVING ROOM LATE FEBURARY – DAY
Emmy still has the ball in the air, but now’s he sweating a little.
EMMY
How many are going?
INT. KELLY’S APARTMENT - DAY
KELLY
(Crossing her fingers)
13, all from the sorority.
INT. SAME HOUSE LIVING ROOM LATE FEBURARY – DAY
Emmy drops the ball.
EMMY
(incredulously)
Is this some kind of joke?
MONTAGE – ROAD TRIP SEQUENCE
A) A tiny car drives over a map of Texas tracing a path toward Padre Island.
B) downtown Dallas
C) state capitol in Austin
D) Highway sign indicating San Antonio
E) Highway sign indicating Kingsville
F) Highway sign indicating Harlingen
G) Highway sign indicating Port Isabel
EXT. ROAD AN HOUR OUTSIDE OF PORT ISABEL
Emmy’s driving and is clearly tired. Everybody else is asleep and the car is cramped. His eyes droop and he begins to slump and falls asleep at the wheel. The car begins to drift into the opposite lane and into the path of a huge semi bearing down on Emmy’s car fast. The trailer blasts its horn and Emmy is jolted awake. He reacts quickly and the car swerves away from the semi but towards a heavy wooden gate. Emmy throws his hands up over his face and screams…
INT. INSIDE THE CAR
Emmy is covering his face and his mouth is frozen in a ring of horror. He isn’t dead however. He lowers his arms and looks to see Kelly in the Driver’s seat smiling at him.
KELLY
That was a long nap. Have any good dreams.
Emmy
(mumbling)
Something like that.
