NICK'S breath rattles in his throat. MERLE, who lies beside
NICK, holding him, has closed his eyes. SAL, who is the only
one who has seen the car, stares at it hard, and for a long
time, trying it out with one eye and then the other.
SAL
Merle?
No answer.
SAL (CONT'D)
Merle?
Still no answer. SAL goes over to MERLE and shakes him.
Getting no response he crosses fearfully toward the
automobile. When he gets to within a foot of it, he reaches
out and touches it.
SAL (CONT'D)
Merle. Merle, a car!
As the flashes continue to light up the sky, SAL peers at the
tires and begins kicking them.
