INT. MOVING VEHICLE - NIGHT
KAI (21, muscular, half-black, half-white male) speeds his oversize pickup truck around a nearly full parking garage as JOE (21, skinny, half-Mexican, half-white, male) slumps down in the passenger's seat. KAI is driving extremely fast.
KAI: WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!
JOE: I DON'T KNOW! I'M SORRY! I didn't mean for it to get this out of hand!
KAI: WELL GREAT JOB WITH THAT, ASSHOLE!!!
KAI drifts around a corner going up another level in the garage. Another car drifts the corner behind them.
JOE: Look, maybe if we just talk to them, maybe they'll calm down, you know?
KAI: OH! YEAH! LET'S JUST TALK TO THE FUCKING YAKUZA! I'M SURE THEY'LL BE JUST SWELL GUYS, YOU KNOW?! MORE THAN HAPPY TO TALK TO THE TWO GUYS WHO JUST STOLE TEN KILOS OF COKE FROM THEM!!!
KAI drifts another corner. The other car follows close behind.
KAI: AHHH!!! WHY ARE THERE NO SPOTS?!?
JOE: You just passed like six!
KAI: WE'RE IN AN OVERSIZE PICKUP JOE!!! NOT YOUR MOM'S LITTLE PRIUS!
JOE: Well why'd you steal this one?
KAI: CUZ IT WAS THE CLOSEST ONE AROUND! AND SHUT UP! DON'T GIVE ME ANY LIP!!! YOU'RE THE REASON WE'RE IN THIS MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE!
A couple of bullets come flying from the car behind them. A few pierce KAI and JOE's windows.
KAI: FUCK!
JOE: Well I'm sorry! I needed the money for my brother's operation. You know what bad condition he's in!
KAI: AND YOU COULDN'T THINK OF ANY BETTER WAY TO DO IT THAN RIPPING OFF THE YAKUZA?!?
JOE: Not any way that would get me the money in time!! If I don't get him the operation by tomorrow he's gonna die!
KAI: WE'RE GOING TO DIE BECAUSE YOU'RE A FUCKING IDIOT!!!
A few more bullets pierce their back window.
KAI: AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
KAI drifts another corner and reaches the roof of the parking garage.
KAI: SHIT! There's nowhere to go!!!
KAI stops the car. The following car stops behind them.
KAI: Do you have a gun?
JOE: What?
KAI: DO YOU HAVE A GUN?!?
JOE: No!! Why would I have a gun?!?
KAI: I DON'T KNOW! WHY WOULD YOU RIP OFF THE YAKUZA?!?
Two men step out of the following car. Each have a machine gun in their hands.
KAI: How could you be so stupid? We were supposed to make a simple deal with them to make a few extra bucks. How could you be so stupid to think that we could possibly get away with something like this?!
JOE: Look, I'm sorry for dragging you into this, but I had to do it.....
The two men approach the truck.
JOE: ......I'll take the fall for this.
KAI: What?!
JOE steps out of the car.
KAI: Wait, JOE!!!
JOE shuts the door and approaches the men. Both of them stop and aim their weapons.
YAKUZA MAN 1: STOP!!!
YAKUZA MAN 2: DON'T COME ANY CLOSER!!!
JOE stops in his tracks and puts up his hands. KAI watches from inside the car, breathing heavily.
Suddenly, a voice is heard from the YAKUZA MEN's car.
VOICE: STOP! That's enough.
The two YAKUZA MEN look back at their car. JOE peers around them to see who is speaking.
The right backseat door opens and MATT (23, half-Mexican, half-white male) steps out slowly, dressed in a full white suit and a white hat.
JOE: ........Matt?
MATT: What's up Queerbait!
JOE: Wha-- You're supposed to be sick!!
MATT: Yeeeeeah, I know but I'm not.
MATT approaches JOE.
JOE: But-- Mom, Dad... They think you're dying!
MATT: Yeah, that's kind of the point. It's not that easy to run the Yakuza while you've got all of your family and friends breathing down your neck, you know?
JOE: WHA-- YOU RUN THE YAKUZA?!?
MATT: Yezzir.
JOE: BUT YOU'RE NOT ASIAN!!
MATT leans into JOE's ear.
MATT: (whispering) I told them I'm Filipino.
JOE: ...Dude...
MATT: But anyways! Glad to see you would do so much to save me lil' brother! Really means a lot. However, I am gonna need those ten kilos of coke back...
JOE: Take 'em! I don't want 'em!
MATT motions to the two YAKUZA MEN to grab the coke from the back of the pickup. They move immediately.
MATT: So. How you been?
JOE: WHY ARE YOU RUNNING THE YAKUZA?!?
MATT: Why are you making coke deals with the Asian Mafia?!?
JOE: I wasn't! Well, I mean, I was... But like, it wasn't a lot! Kai and I just found a bunch at a party and figured we could make some money with it.
MATT: Ah, I see. And in your grand scheme to sell a small amount of coke to one of the biggest crime organizations in the world you decided that it would be a good idea to steal as much as you could from them?
JOE: I THOUGHT YOU WERE DYING!!!!!
MATT: Ah, well..................... Guess you don't have to worry about that anymore.
JOE stares at MATT in disbelief.
YAKUZA MAN 1: Boss! We're ready.
MATT: Well young ugly, looks like it's time for us to part ways. You probably won't hear from me for a while, but if and when you do, I'll be sure to bring you something nice.
MATT starts to walk back to his car.
MATT: OH! And I'm supposed to die tomorrow, okay? So don't tell Mom and Dad you saw me. Or that I'm running the Yakuza.
YAKUZA MAN 2 opens MATT's door and he places a foot inside. He looks back and waves goodbye to Joe.
MATT: Okay! So long little brother! Don't do anything I wouldn't do.
MATT winks, laughs, and steps inside his car. YAKUZA MAN 2 shuts the door, steps into the passenger's seat, and the car drives off.
JOE watches speechlessly as they drive away.
KAI steps out of the car and approaches JOE.
KAI: ...what'd they say?
JOE: (beat) Nothing.
JOE continues to stare into the distance. KAI continues to stare at JOE.
KAI: ..................For what it's worth, I found a spot.
JOE: Shut up.
THE END
