142EXT. OLD BURGER CROWN PARKING LOT - THAT NIGHT

About a dozen kids ages 16-25 are skateboarding and drinking with music blaring.

Yule sits next to Kate who is drinking a beer.

YULE

I heard today on the corporate

owned news BASH got Orlean to pay

the Chilean government, if I’m

correct, 90 billion dollars to let

the tsunami hit off the coast of

the country. That sound right to

you?

FRIEND

You know Isherwell built an

underground bunker for him and all

his executives.

TEEN GIRL

No, I heard they’re building an

escape ship.

KATE

You guys, the truth is way more

depressing. They’re not even smart

enough to be as evil as you’re

giving them credit for.

Yule, clearly enamored, leans over and kisses Kate. She pushes him back.

KATE (CONT'D)

Ugh! No.

More teens skateboard and a guy throws a glass bottle against the wall.

Yule punches the air in frustration.

YULE

Fuck! You drive me fucking crazy,

Kate.

Beat.

KATE

Fuck it. We’re all gonna die.

They make out as the hardcore music plays and more kids break light tubes.
