François Marceau (15-12-2015)



Rodney was driving his car full speed ahead
Why are you going so fast man?
I`ve made a terrible mistake Jerry
Brenda?
Brenda yes
She`s gonna get married in Vegas with Tom
I thought you broke up six months ago
She broke up with me because I didn`t want to marry her 
I didn`t realize 
How much I love her until now
I`m such a moron
I have to tell her how I feel
Before it`s too late
I think she still loves me
All she asked was commitment
I`m such a moron
Don`t drive so fast you`ll kill us all
I DON`T CARE!
We have to get there at all cost
The gas tank is full
We`re passing through Death Valley
If I keep driving like this 
We should arrive in Vegas in about twenty minutes
Fifteen minutes if I drive faster
I don`t see any cops in sight
The road is ours to take
Let`s rock
I push the gas pedal 
We`re burning rubber
RODNEY LOOK OUT|
Too late 
RODNEY WAKE UP MAN!
What?
Where are we?
We`re still in Death Valley
Your car`s a total wreck
It`s a miracle we`re still alive
We both jumped out of the car before falling off the cliff
My safety belt was on
Me too
It`s a miracle than
Thank God!
We still have to reach Vegas
They`re getting married at the Luxor 
The Egyptian theme casino?
Exactly 
What a classy place
Sure is
A classy woman deserves a classy wedding
I`m such a moron
We all make mistakes my friend
I know but still
How long have we been walking?
I don`t know an hour perhaps
Let me look at the time
Damned I lost my watch
What time is it Rodney?
Gimme a second
Holly crap my watch is missing too
Doesn`t matter
We have to get there
Let`s go
You know Jerry
This is weird
What`s weird we`re in Death Valley
The sun is blazing 
I`m not sweating
Me neither
Maybe it`s not so hot right now
Could be
The road seems to go on forever
There`s mountains around us
No wind
No sound 
Nothing at all
It`s so peaceful man
I know 
Feels like heaven here
Heaven in Death Valley?
I know sounds strange 
Indeed
Where are we going Rodney?
We are going to…
Las Vegas that`s it
What for?
For…
Brenda that`s it
Have to tell her how much I love her
I have to get there at all costs
If it`s the last thing I do
I understand
Let`s go
We`re walking
And walking and walking
We don`t seem to be going nowhere
How long have we been walking Jerry?
I don`t know man
Where are we going?
We are going to…
Brenda that`s it
What for?
I have…
I have to see her one last time before I go
You do understand that Jerry
ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?
I turn around 
Jerry`s gone
JERRY!
JERRY!
WHERE ARE YOU MAN?
This is not funny man
Where are you?
Forget it
Gotta keep walking 
And reach
Reach…
Love
Brenda I…
Love…
You so…
Much…
BRENDA!
Maybe there`s no heaven
Maybe there`s no hell
Perhaps
We`re all souvenirs
Destined to slowly fade away and disappear…
