fades in out with passing/distance of vehicle.

Various Shots of two Mafioso in the SUV.
Passenger is smoking a cuban cigar, driver is bopping
head to the music, eyes wide and fixated on the road.
Various shots of each man with a final
close-up of driver blinking heavily to clear his eyes.
Intro to House of Pain song "Jump Around" comes on the radio and
Bobby's hand goes to the volume
to crank it up
BOBBY FUNGINELLI
(Driver)
Great
fucking tune hey Mr. V?
VINCENT VERONE
Yeah

little boy and turn the fucking radio back down.
I got an Excedrin fuckin headache
and not to mention, if you haven't noticed, the weather's fuckin' pissin
down outside.
Vincent looks at Bobby
BOBBY FUNGINELLI
I

VINCENT VERONE
I
know you noticed. I'm just
sayin you're gonna kill us both worryin about dat damn radio and not
concentratin on the fuckin' road, alright?
BOBBY FUNGINELLI
"Sure
thing Mr. V. Sorry"
Bobby looks sheepishly at Vincent and turns down the radio, until it's
almost completely off. The
rain is pounding the car and
the wipers can be heard running back and forth.
Vincent takes a long drag of the cigar and exhales. He looks at Bobby.
VINCENT VERONE
Just
watch the road, dat's all I'm sayin'.
Concentrate, it's been a long fuckin day and I wanna get home in
one piece.
BOBBY FUNGINELLI
Gotcha
Mr. V. Sorry.
VINCENT VERONE
Don't
be fuckin' sorry Bobby, just drive alright?
Just fuckin concentrate on your job ... you don't need to be sorry.
BOBBY FUNGINELLI
OK
Mr. V. I'm not sorry, it's just...
Vincent looks at him angrily
VINCENT VERONE
(Overlapping)
Ah,
fuck Bobby, that's not what I mean't.
All I was say...
Vincent stops talking and looks out the side window, All he can see is the
blurred image of the passing
trees through the wet glass.
CUT TO
Vincent looking out the window. Rain
and car noise are very loud, with extremely faint (rapid) tapping
sound growing louder. Vincent
looks back towards Bobby...
CUT BACK
VINCENT VERONE (CONT'D)
You

BOBBY FUNGINELLI
Hear

tires blow and the vehicle swerves off
the road.
CUT TO
Shots of the SUV (more stop-action) as it comes off the road and hits the
guardrail, tumbling over the
barrier and down the embankment into the water.
CUT TO
