EXT.ROUTE 66.DAY

The Rockets were cruising down route 66. There were about twenty five members in the gang. They pulled up into a gas station. The gas station attendant was nervous because of
all the motorcycles roaring in. Sounded like thunder. One by one they filled up their tanks while their leader walked into the station.

JERROD
Hey,is anyone here?

The attendent rose from behind the counter.

ATTENDENT
Yes sir

JERROD
Look,little man. Do you sell any beer here?

ATTENDENT
(nervous)
Yes sir. Over in the far refrigerator.

Jerrod walked over to the refrigerator and opened the door.He took out two cases. One of
the other members of the gang came inside of the store.

GANG MEMBER
Hey Jerrod.Where are you?

JERROD
I’m over here. Get some of the boys in here to help carry this beer.

GANG MEMBER
Ok,Jerrod. I’ll be right back.

JERROD
Hey. Put this on my tab. You have any maps?

ATTENDENT
Yes. They’re on the stand. Over
there.

Jerrod opened up the map to see where they were at. He pointed to a spot where they could hold up.

JERROD
Ok,I’ll take this map. Tab me.

Jerrod left the store.

JERROD
Lets go.

They all started up their bikes and like a roar of thunder they rode off. Several miles down the road, Jerrod,who was in front had turned off the road. He was followed by therest of his gang. They road into a rocky canyon where they could camp overnight. The girls that were riding on the back of their bikes had started dancing to the music that was playing. The beer was thrown towards each of the men by Jerrod. They all dranked and partied. Jerrod opened up the map.

JERROD
Mike.Come over here.

Mike was Jerrod’s right hand man.

JERROD
Look at this map. According to it,
L.A. is about 100 miles away. This
is going to be a straight shot from
here. So party up. We leave at
eight in the morning.

MIKE
I noticed on the map that there’s
no more towns to visit. That sun is
sure going to be hot on our backs.

JERROD
We’ve done this many of times,
Mike. Do you remember the last town
we visited? I know they will
remember us. Especially the women.
MIKE
I believe that some of them will be
carrying babies by us in nine
months.

JERROD
(laughing)
Hey Mike. Who’s your daddy ?

As they both laughed,they each had grabbed a girl and started dancing. Seven hours had gone by.

JERROD
Ok get up.

They all rose from a drunken slumber. They staggered, but finally they had pulled themselves together. Once the girls were comfortably seated they headed for the road. They roared down route 66. About thirty miles down the road Jerrod had pulled off. The rest had followed. He finally had stopped. After he had gotten off of his bike he stared off
into the distance.

MIKE
Hey Jerrod. What gives?

JERROD
Look over there. What do you see?

Massie got off the back of her bike.

MASSIE
Why did we stop and what are you two looking at?

The rest of the crew got off of their bikes and walked over to where Jerrod was standing.

CRANK
What gives,boss?

JERROD
Everyone.Look over there. What do
you see?

They all looked.

TONY
Is that a mirage?
JERROD
Why? What do you see?

ERIC
I don’t know about you but to me it
looks like a town.

JERROD
Do the rest of you see that too?

MASSIE
I can see it.

Jerrod took out the map to look at it again.

MIKE
What’s the matter,Jerrod?

JERROD
That town is not on this map.

MIKE
How old is the map?

JERROD
Five years old.

MIKE
Then that explains it.

JERROD
Explains what?

MIKE
With our technology a town can be
built in less time than that.

JERROD
A whole town?

MIKE
I believe so.

JERROD
Ok.Then that’s where we’re going.
They all got back on their motorcycles and drove off. About
thirty minutes later they slowed down to read the sign.(Welcome).

JERROD
Is that the name of this town?

MIKE
It sounds like an invitation.

JERROD
Well,lets not let them down.

They all drove off in the direction of a town called,Welcome. The people in the town were going on with their daily lives. They all stopped to look in the direction of the thunderous sound. What they all saw were machines coming from out in the desert, driven by people. Then they went on with their daily routine. The Rockets road through the town doing wheelies and racing with each other. They were surprised to see that none of the townspeople were interested in what they were doing. They parked their bikes
near a bar.Got off and stormed in.

INT.THE BAR.DAY

JERROD
Bartender.Set-em up for my boys.

The rest of the Rockets were pushing people out of their chairs.

STRANGER
You don’t have to be so rough. I
would’ve given up my chair to you
if you had just asked.

ERIC
But I didn’t.

Eric grabbed the stranger by his collar.Showing his tattoos on both sides of his arms. Eric’s tattoos had a hoola girl on both arms with rings on their bellies.

STRANGER
Look mister. I’m just a blacksmith.
I don’t want no trouble.

ERIC
Then get out of here.

The blacksmith ran out of the bar while the Rockets all laughed. The rest of the customers had left the bar also.Only the Rockets were left enjoying themselves.

BARTENDER
Are you going to pay the bill?

JERROD
Put it on my tab.

Mike reached over the bar and grabbed the bartender.

MIKE
You don’t asked my friend here if
he’s going to pay. You just keep
pouring.

Mike showed his silver grilled teeth. The bartender grinned also, showing his missing front teeth.

MIKE
Why are you grinning? What’s so
funny? Do you think I’m funny?

The bartender just kept on grinning. Mike poured some beer over the bartender’s head and popped him on top of it.

MIKE
Go on. Get out of here.

The bartender ran out of the bar. They all dranked until they had passed out. Soon it was dark and all of the lights went out.

JERROD
Hey,what gives?

They all left the bar and went out into the street.

INT/EXT.THE STREET.NIGHT

MIKE
There’s no lights on, anywhere.

JERROD
Anyone have a flashlight?

MASSIE
I have one on my bike.If only I
could see where my bike is.

JERROD
There’s no moon out tonight. Lets
go back into the bar and crash
until daylight. I believe the bar
is over here.

They started walking. They kept on bumping into each other.

JERROD
I can’t find the door. Can anyone
find the door?

DRONE
I can’t see my hands in front of
my face.

THE WHOLE GANG
Neither can we.

JERROD
Ok,listen up. Are we all up against
the wall?

THE WHOLE GANG
Yea.

JERROD
Then we crash here until daylight.
Up against the wall.

They all sat down on the ground.Up against the wall and fell asleep. Several hours later daylight had come. They all woke up kind of groggy. The bar was ten feet away from them. They got up and went inside. There was the bartender serving drinks to the
blacksmith and some of the other customers.

EXT/INT.THE BAR.DAY

JERROD
Hey Mike. Where are you?

MASSIE
I don’t see Eric either.

They all looked around. Mike and Eric were missing.

JERROD
Someone go outside and find
them.Tell them that we are back
inside of the bar.

CRANK
I’ll go.

Jerrod looked at the bartender.

JERROD
Pour everyone a drink and put it on
my tab.

The bartender grinned at Jerrod while pouring the drinks into the glasses. Jerrod looked at the bartender’s teeth and saw that they had been grilled.

JERROD
I could’ve sworn that you didn’t
have any front teeth.

BARTENDER
I’ve always had my teeth.

Jerrod turned his head to see that the blacksmith was sitting next to him having himself a drink. The blacksmith was wearing a short sleeve shirt.Exposing his tattooed arms. On his arms were hoola girls with rings on their belly buttons. Jerrod grabbed the
blacksmith’s arm.

JERROD
Where did you get those tattoos?

BLACKSMITH
I’ve always had these tattoos.

Crank ran back inside of the bar.

CRANK
Hey boss. I called out to them both
and they didn’t answer. What do you
want me to do?

JERROD
Ok everyone. We have two people
missing. I want you to go outside
and asked everyone if they had seen
them. Check the stores. The hotels.
The restaurants. Look everywhere.
We’re not leaving here until we
find them.

Everyone left the bar and scattered around town.Massie had a black patch on her right eye from a fight she was in before.She went inside of a donut shop.

EXT/INT.DONUT SHOP.DAY

MASSIE
Hey you. Have you seen any guys
with leather jackets on come in
here?

CASHIER
No. Would you like some donuts?

Massie grabbed the cashier by her neck.

MASSIE
If I wanted any donuts I would take
them.

Massie was three hundred pounds of all woman and she could
hold her own. The cashier was one hundred pounds. Massie
went back to the bar.

EXT/INT.THE BAR.DAY

MASSIE
Hey boss. I went over to the donut
shop down the street and the
cashier said that they never came
inside.

JERROD
You wait here until the rest of the
gang show up. When they get here
tell them I said to wait here until
I get back.

MASSIE
Ok boss.

Jerrod left the bar to search on his own. He went down the street. He went around the corners. He knocked on doors and finally he decided to go to the donut shop on his way back.He went inside.

EXT/INT.DONUT SHOP.DAY

There was a cashier wiping the counters.

CASHIER
Would you like some donuts?

He looked at her and saw that she was wearing a black patch over her right eye.

JERROD
No.I don’t want any donuts.

He left the shop. Ran down the street and back into the bar.

EXT/INT.THE BAR.DAY

JERROD
(shouting)
Massie!Massie!

The rest of the gang looked around.

CRANK
Massie’s not here.

JERROD
I told her not to go anywhere until
I get back. Now I’m missing more
people. Go out there and search for
them and as soon as you find them
we’re leaving this God forsaken
town. There’s something wrong here.
Be back here before dark or you’ll
get lost out there.

THE GANG
Ok boss.

JERROD
I’ll wait right here until you all
come back just in case it gets dark
out there. You will be able to
follow my voice. You hear?

THE GANG
We hear you boss.

They all left the bar.The bartender and Jerrod were the only ones in the bar.

JERROD
Pour me a drink and put it on my tab.

The bartender poured Jerrod a drink and another and another. Soon Jerrod was passed out. Darkness came and then daylight. Jerrod woke up to see that the bar was full of
patrons. Everyone were nonchalant while drinking.

JERROD
Hey bartender. Did you see my
boys?.

Jerrod had a long scar on the side of his face from a knife fight he was in. He had killed the other person.

JERROD
I’m going out to find my boys. Pour
me a drink and put it on my tab.

BARTENDER
Your tab had ran out.

JERROD
Are you crazy?

Everyone started standing up from their tables and turning towards Jerrod. They started removing their garments, showing parts of the Rockets bodies. They blocked the door
so Jerrod could not run out. He ran around the bar but they had closed in on him. He screamed. They were on top of him.He made the most horrible sound. Darkness fell and then daylight had come around. The bartender was serving drinks as usual. Everyone was having a drink, casually. The bartender started grinning with his grilled teeth and a long
scar on the side of his face.
  As we soar above the town you can see that the town has a quarry in the back of it.Inside of the quarry were thousands of motorcycles piled on top of each other. On top
of the motorcycles were thousands of bodies with parts of them missing and as we soar further away from the town you can see a sign that reads,(Welcome). But there was red paint on the bottom half of the sign. Underneath the paint it read, To Hell.
