(Almost hysterical)<br />
Ain't you listening? YOU FLUNKED<br />
THE DAMN....<br />
In response to the sudden jolt, Rose Rose slams the wheel and the<br />
Caddie leaves the road, cuts across the sidewalk, scattering people left and<br />
right. She creams a couple of parking meters and a mail box. She trys to<br />
get it off the sidewalk and the car spins around until it now faces the<br />
truck that is bearing down on it.<br />
TATERS writes on the clipboard again. He looks up and sees the<br />
truck coming straight for them. He ducks. At the last minute, the truck<br />
slews and then spins around in an effort to avoid a heaDon collision. <strong>The</strong><br />
truck ends up alongside the Cadillac, both vehicles facing the same way.<br />
TATERS<br />
(Raising his head)<br />
That was an illegal U turn, by<br />
God! You made so many damn<br />
mistakes there ain't no room<br />
on the sheet to write any more down!<br />
<strong>The</strong>re's a scramble in the truck, for the gunmen to turn and shoot at the car<br />
no longer in front of them but now beside them. ROSE turns and sees the<br />

<strong>The</strong> door is still open. <strong>The</strong> hard right turn almost throws TATERS<br />
out of the door. She goes in a complete circle around Jack'S truck. A<br />
gunman in the back of the truck, trying to get a shot, turns completely<br />
around and then around again as she makes a second lap around the truck.<br />
Becoming dizzy, he falls out of the back of the pickup truck.<br />
TATERS has his feet braced against the door frame, fighting<br />
centrifugal force which threatens to throw him out the door he’s still<br />
struggling to close.<br />
Abruptly, realizing that she's not getting anywhere ROSE turns<br />
the wheel hard to the left. <strong>The</strong> Caddie crosses the sidewalk, hits a building<br />
and then arcs back toward the stalled truck. TATERS loses his grip on the
