On the Road Again

SCENE: a sparsely populated stretch of highway between Sandy and Portland. A car glides swiftly through the night, carrying JOE and KATIE home from an evening's joyride.

JOE: (maintaining a steady 60mph, in flagrant violation of the posted 55mph speed limit) Wha?

(Behind his BMW, an aggressive driver flashes his brights, strobing a violent stacatto.)

JOE: (slows down)

TAILGATER: (continues his incandescent assault)

KATIE: Oh, just let him over; he's only going to get more belligerent.

JOE: (jams on the brakes, swerving into the other lane. He rolls the driver side window down and jabs a defiant finger into the air.)

KATIE: Don't do- (she dissolves into hysterical laughter as the car pulls alongside) You flipped off a SHERIFF!!! Hahahahahhahahahha......................

(Red and blue lights flash.)

END SCENE
