ROBERT CYNCL STRAGGLES IN HUNGRY AND THIRSTY
SITS DOWN AT COUNTER AND STARTS DRINKING DOWN GLASSES OF WATER FROM A WAITING PITCHER, WAITRESS APPROACHES
WAITRESS
"Kind of thirsty there, huh?"
CYNCL
"Yea, it's been a long trip down...I mean over here."
WAITRESS
"What can I get for you hon?"
CYNCL
"A couple of eggs...scrambled, hash browns, a piece of pie...whatcha got?"
WAITRESS
"Hmm...this time of night, I got lemon, peach, I think I might have one more slice of apple left, what sounds good?"
CYNCL
"Yea, that apple sounds good!"
WAITRESS
"Okie-dokie, be right back!"
CYNCL LOOKING UP ABOVE AT TELEVISION ABOVE COUNTER WITH SOUND OFF
SEE'S CLOSED CAPTIONING ON SET REPORTING THAT ROBERT CYNCL JUMPED OUT OF A CHARTERED JET PLANE THIS EVENING JUST OUTSIDE OF EUGENE AND THAT HE THREW A SECURITY GUARD OUT CAUSING HIM TO FALL TO HIS DEATH
AN APB HAS BEEN ISSUED ALONG WITH A FIFTY-THOUSAND DOLLAR REWARD FOR HIS CAPTURE AND ARREST
CYNCL SLOWLY LOOKING AROUND ROOM, NOTICING THAT ALMOST EVERYONE IN THERE IS STARING AT HIM
CYNCL
"Excuse me waitress, but could I possibly get that to go?"
WAITRESS
"No problem Hon, but that will be an extra two-fifty?"
CYNCL
"No problem, hey...by the way, do you have a back exit, too?"

BRIAN"S HOUSE-LIVING ROOM-10:15 PM
BRIAN AND SANDY WATCHING THE NEWS
BRIAN
"I still can't believe our "You Tube" creepo is alive and running around...this guy is really on a mission or something!"
SANDY
"He's on a mission alright...it's simple, he's coming for us, he's too deep in other people's pockets to do anything else!"
BRIAN
"You do have your bright moments, you know?"
SANDY
"Not a lot, but when it concerns us, when we're the target, my intuition starts kicking in..."
BRIAN
"Like some prehistoric, fight or flight part of the brain...like a warning system?"
SANDY
"The girl can't help it, I smell a skunk heading this way, so my question to you is...what do you want to do about it?"
BRIAN
"Make you happy, keep you happy, with all I've invested, what do you want me to do?"
SANDY
"Oh, so now it comes down to a numbers thing, is that all I am to you...an eight-hundred thousand dollar pile of debt, a bitch on the side, someone to cloud up your plans, slow down your day?"
BRIAN LAUGHING
BRIAN
"Hardly...look, you bring purpose to my existence...I wasn't looking for you, I had a dream, it could have been anything, but I wanted to create Port Vodka...it was a concept, a concept yet to be realized but I saw the light, I stayed focused...you being that person, for whatever reason came into my life and made my passions legitimate...now ask yourself, don't you find it strange how I just popped in to your life?"
SANDY
"Yea, well the whole thing kinda swept me off my feet...but look at the trade off, look at all the shit I got you in?"
BRIAN
"A man lives for validity...he looks for not only internal satisfaction, accolades amongst his peers, most live to serve a higher power, that makes it even more meaningful, men are simple like that!"
SANDY
"So, you just go through life trying to accomplish things to help out other's around you, you have no real selfish desires?"
BRIAN
"Sandy...look, the happiness comes from knowing that I took a creative dream, to an idea, to a game plan, to fruition...it's the way most guy's work, function...make sense of our purpose, and your suggesting that it was just a selfish plan, an empire in the making...no, this has nothing to do with the actual possessions, it's the accomplishment of the dream itself!
SANDY
"So, your not doing all this just have stuff, just accomplish a dream?"
BRIAN
"Well...you do accumulate stuff along the way, but just stuff is not what your shooting for...I mean, other's might be impressed, but you don't ever worry about what the other people are thinking...like the guy who's making three hundred a week, driving around in his Mercedes...yea on Saturday night tooling around with his fancy car with no money in his pocket, versus a dude with a second-hand Toyota with a half mill in his bank account...what do you want?"
SANDY
"The bank account sounds good!"
BRIAN
"It's not about what you want from the other person, it's not about buying in on a dream...it's accepting that you...you alone have a purpose...perhaps you need a team to achieve it, but your purpose for doing it in the first place should be your focal point, using the time you have to work with, the time that has been given to you, make the best use of your time on the planet to do your thing, and make that your accomplishment...everyone is pleased!"
SANDY
"And if you don't do your thing, you get shit accomplished...what happens then?"
BRIAN
Fuck, I don't know, you come back as a bed bug or something?"
SANDY
"Being a bed bug sounds like a living hell...just crawling around eating on nasty people..."
BRIAN
"Actually, bed bugs are kind of open-minded when it comes to who they suck on...it's all that sneakiness that gets old...but they're slaves to what they are, the environment they're in...no real purpose other than to get the next blood meal so they can make more babies...like working with the Devil..."
SANDY
"The Devil...how can you compare bed bugs to the Devil?"
BRIAN
They both irritate, infiltrate, contaminate your free will, just sucking off of you, mental scarring, nobody wants to be your real friend, so you have no one to share your dream with...except those that don't want to face up to their living hell..."
SANDY
"Is that why they get together and party till they can't stand up?"
BRIAN
"Exactly, let's all just get through the day and don't think about ourselves too much!"
SANDY
"Probably, don't want to expose the truth, or see themselves as they really are?"
BRIAN
"Or remember anything that they just did...that's the first clue..."
SANDY
"To what?"
BRIAN
"That your on your way to becoming a bed bug!"
SANDY
"I'll keep that in mind, next time I'm having a pity party..."
BRIAN
"Yea, we all have our own interpretations on that thought."
SANDY
"So, what about all those fuckers who want our ass over this property...are they with the Devil?"
BRIAN
"No doubt, sheer greed in the worst degree, but see my girl...our purpose is stronger than their's, so just stay aware, alert, prepare, and pray...we will be able to take on any task when the time comes...and we will be victorious...just like life itself!"
SANDY
"So...so we just chill?"
BRIAN
"Or cuddle....you can come up here and cuddle with me if you like?"
SANDY
"That sounds like a plan, no...I'm the injured warrior, you come to me!"
ON TV, "AND NOW...LIVE FROM BURBANK, IT'S THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO, JAYS GUEST TONIGHT ARE...
SANDY TURNS OFF TV
SANDY
"Starring Brian and Sandy, tonight's show...ways to cuddle...I Love you Brian!"
BRIAN
"I Love you too, now let's start the show..."
BOTH LAUGHING
