The scene opens inside the Cuthbert, Georgia local rent-a-car station. We see Alice Knight sitting on the station concrete ground in an Indian position. She is tapping her knees with her hands humming a song.
Alice Knight- ‘Said her name was Georgia Rose! OWE! And her daddy was a dentist. Said she I had a dirty mouth… but she kissed me like she meant it! – something something something something….” – “Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!!!” – “That’s the power of love!”
The young rent a car salesman walks out of the office with some paper work. Alice sloppily kips up to her feet. She checks her ankle as the two walk towards each other.
Salesman- So Allison, thanks for waiting. Sorry we took so long, busy night at closing time.
Alice Knight- It’s Alice actually. Come on, man. I hate it when people get names wrong… Bob isn’t it?
Salesman- Robert actually…
Alice Knight(confused)- Bob-ert?
Salesman(also confused)- What?
Alice Knight(really confused)- Huh?
Salesman- Right. Okay, I was thinking about renting you this Honda over here. If you follow me…
Alice follows him over to the gray Honda. Alice rubs the hood with her jacket sleeve.
Alice Knight- Heyyyyy this isn’t too bad. This isn’t too bad, actually. I bet Roach would have a ball trashing this one, huh?
Salesman- What’s that?
Alice Knight- Oh nothing. Nothing. It’s just this maniac I’m wrestling this Sunday. He’s a drug addict, he’s a psycho, he’s, well, Canadian. But don’t worry; I will take care of this baby… (opens the door) Wow. What a smell. Do you smell it? I love it…
Salesman- I believe the last person used the car as a bathroom… so we used a lot of bathroom air fresheners to get rid of the smell… but what about this maniac Canadian? He won’t do damage to the car will he?
Alice Knight- Oh no. I don’t think so. You see the last car I owned, he kind of destroyed the hell out of it. But it all kind of back fired on him because… get this… because of what he did to my car he lost his shot in the main event at Black Out 2 due to a pin fall victory BY ME! So he’s really pissed at me now. So he plans to smash my face in and pretty much wants to kill me right now… Oh yeah… (Alice confidently fixes her jacket collar before entering the back of the car)… so he used it as a bathroom, huh? Been there, done that. It’s possible he just used the car to transport his stool droppings around from place to place, some cultures do that, I think. Do you mind if I glue glow in the dark stars and moons on the inside ceiling? I don’t like the dark sometimes. It’s when the hell spawn appears in my dreams and tries to take my soul… also, they’re so fun and cute looking! Do you know if it attracts cats? I’ve been having a bit of a cat problem… they seem to follow me everywhere. (Alice stretches her legs and arms laying awkwardly on the backseats)… these seats are way more comfortable than my other car. No stains and rip tears on the seats either…. Again, the cats… mostly anyway…
Salesman- Listen lady, we can’t rent you this car… we can’t risk having the car being damaged.
Alice Knight(crawling out of the back seat)- Wha-wha-what?!? Why? Don’t worry about Roach. He’s nothing, he’s a nobody. He’s… well Canadian. So he isn’t all there in the head. He may try and wreck the car… but fool me once, shame on him, fool me twice shame on me… fool me three times… shame on… you? Wait, I did it wrong. Let me start over… shame on me, fool me twice… dammit…
Salesman- Alice, I’m sorry, it’s just our policy. We have the right to refuse any customer. And we’re closing in about 15 minutes, there’s nothing I can do for you.
Alice Knight- Listen, listen, listen dude. Please, we can work something out. The car is so nice and comfortable and I could easily move in it… let’s just pretend I didn’t bring up the Roach thing. He probably won’t do it again anyway. Remember the shame on you thing I just said… if I did it right you’d understand it’s VERY unlikely he would try something again. He like totally knows not to mess with me again. Like wouldn’t you be afraid to mess with me? (smiles) Or my car? He knows better… fool me once, shame on me! SHAME ON ME!!!
Salesman goes to walk away but Alice falls to her knees grabbing on his leg.
Alice Knight(begging)- Please. I’ll give you a cup of my own blood… a cup of my own blood! Whatever you want…
Salesman(sighing)- Fine. Just don’t tell my manager. Just get up and stop making a scene.
Alice again kip ups again awfully, almost falling over.
Alice Knight- You won’t regret this Bob-ert… In fact if Roach comes any where near this house… I’ll bash his face in with a baseball bat! Then I’ll run him over with the car… then I will hide his body parts in a storm drain…
Salesman- Um, no, please don’t. (looks at his papers) So that’s 24.99 a day. You’re looking at about 200 dollars when everything said and done…
Alice Knight(gulping nervously)- I… don’t… have… this… money…. I don’t have it. I do not have it… I DON’T HAVE IT!!!!
LATER
The scene opens with Alice Knight hitchhiking down a dark quiet highway carrying all of her stuff being followed by a bunch of cats. A car drives down the highway; Alice gently puts down her ant farm and sticks out her thumb as the car speeds by her.
Alice Knight(picking up her ant farm and looking up at the sky)- God damn it. Why do you hate me God? What did I ever do to you? I’ve changed. I have so changed. I’m not the same Alice Knight who sniffs gasoline and spray paint just to get a sweet-sweet buzz. I’m not the same Alice Knight who broke that expensive vase at that antique store awhile back and blamed it on that mentally challenged kid… and NO I am not the same Alice Knight who took a crap behind that church bushes… last night. WHY DO YOU HATE ME, GOD!!?!?! Man, I can’t wait… cannot wait to get my mitts on Roach this Sunday. He’s gonna pay for what he did to my baby. I cannot wait! SHUUUUU!! (she kicks the ground scaring some of the cats away) Stupid cats. Stupid life. (looks around the dark sky and closes her eyes) Please don’t come for me, Hell Spawn, not tonight…(opens her eyes when she hears another vehicle)… Oh. Oh. Oh…
She spots a transport truck driving down the road. She again gently puts down the ant farm and sticks her thumb out and shows a little leg as well. The truck squeals its tires stopping next to Alice. Alice excitedly picks up her ant farm and wobbles over to the side door of the rig. Inside she sees an elderly heavyset woman behind the wheel.
Truck Driver- How’s it goin’, eh? Need a ride, hun?
Alice Knight- Sure do! As long as you don’t kill or rape me… and I promise I won’t do the same to you…
Alice laughs climbing into the truck. She puts her stuff in the back as the two drive off.
Truck Driver- Nice to meet you, hun. Names Doris.
Takes hand off stirring wheel for Alice to shake. Alice shakes it.
Alice Knight- Alice Knight. YES. THE Alice Knight the wrestler, the number 5 in OCW’s Ten for the Win. And best friend and partner of Brianna Casablancas.
Truck Driver- Sorry, haven’t heard of you. (Alice frowns) But I do love me some ‘rasslin. I love seeing those men and women throwing each other around in those sold out arenas on the cable. It’s good stuff.
Alice Knight- Well we at OCW don’t really sell out arenas, or on ‘the cable’ but we do get a full gymnasium full of loyal fans. This Sunday infact were going to Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. You know, Universal Studios. The movie theme park place. I hope they still have the Jurassic Park and Jaws rides. That would be sweet! And don’t have the less popular Schindler’s List 3D ride. But the first two, that would be sweet!! After my hardcore match with Roach, I plan to whoop his behind and then pig out at the park on old jalapeno burgers and soggy fries.
Truck Driver- Roach? You fighting a giant bug?
Alice Knight(laughs hard, almost too hard)- Haha! WELL HE KIND OF LOOKS LIKE ONE THAT’S FOR SURE! (holds her stomach, laughing hysterically confusing the driver) Wow! Great one! I have to write that one down later. WOW! No, he is just this tough hardcore freak in the OCW. He’s why I’m hitchhiking actually. He destroyed my car. And I beat him the same night, which kind of started this whole thing. It’s a long story actually. (looks at wrist) And I was looking forward to taking a nap while you drive me around.
Truck Driver- Well we have time. Why did he wreck your car? He sounds dangerous for you to be having a hardcore match with. Little thing like you…
Alice Knight- Because he’s a freakin’ psycho, that’s why. And don’t get me wrong, he’s one tough cookie. He’s not like an Oreo and a little Debbie Cream Pie. He’s like one of those no name brand cookies that are hard to eat… something you could chip a tooth on. So yeah, but I know what I’m getting myself into when I walk in at Black Out 2, that’s the pay per view show we’re wrestling at. Some say I’m over my head getting in the ring with Roach, especially in his kind of match, hardcore rules. But ever since the match has been made, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking. And I think I can take him. It’s gonna be rough, I’ll get some bruises, and lose some blood, but him and I, one of us, aren’t going to win this match with out a serious fight.
Truck Driver- Sounds like you are ready for a fight, hun. Just be prepared, I don’t know anything about you two, but if you think you’re able to take him, he might think the same about you. He’ll bring whatever he got.
Alice Knight- Oh I know. But I’m starving, homeless and have nothing to lose. Plus I have a few ideas that just may work in my favor. And I love it when a plan comes together. I come up with the idea last week on the road when I almost choked to death on all these mints. You see I’m prone for headaches and I thought they were aspirins and, whatever. After I through all the mints up, I came up with this great idea. But I don’t want to tell you right now. Because I’m not 100% sure I got it figured out to a tee. I tried telling these cats the same plan the other night, and they wouldn’t even pay attention to me. So what I did was stomp my feet and clapped my hands until they came to attention. That didn’t work so I ate one in full view of the others. It helped drive home the point. What I’m saying is, if this works, a victory and revenge over Roach is inevitable. And that is all I want. I just hope that his Family members stay out of it. You see, this guy Roach is also in a cult that they call a family. Something tells me they may try and interfere. But they’re also probably super busy with their own matches on that night. Fingers crossed anyway. But they could still show up, and that would be a bitter mint to swallow. So if God’s on my side (looks up at the sky) and I hope THIS time he is, I will have Roach all for myself, one on one, in this hardcore match.
Truck Driver- Well I hope it all works out for you, dear. You seem prepared for this one.
Alice Knight- I totally am. At least I think I am. No. No. I am. Roach has no idea what I am capable of. Sure I may be the same girl who lives on the street and carries around an ant farm … and the same girl that does that hilarious robot-cowboy dance that makes everyone laugh at parties, but this chick is someone who you don’t want to get mad or mess with. When push comes to shove, I can do some serious damage. Roach is going to find that out first hand at Black Out 2…
Truck Driver- Well I hope I can check it out. Sounds like it should be a very solid match. Now… can I see that funny robot-cowboy dance? I bet it’s really good… and you look good doing it, hun.
Alice Knight(blushes)- It is… and I do. I dunno... you kind of need to be in the right mood and place for it to get the right laugh... (slaps her hands together) You know something, Doris, I’ll do it just for you. Are you ready? Wait for it… wait for it…
Alice jumps right into it and closes her eyes, straightens her hands and moves them mechanically-like. And then moves her body stiffly, and pretends as if she was tipping a cowboy hat with her hands. Alice is making ‘Bloop-Bleep-Bloop’ noises, trying not to laugh at her own dance while she does it. Doris the truck driver watches on in confusion, trying to look away from the awful dance but she can’t help but stare at Alice doing it. The scene fades to black as the truck drives down the highway.
