MOM
The mother of Char continues to
maintain a marginal existence in Lakeside.
CHAR: Okay, mom, now I'm a little uncertain about where I turn next.
MOM: Up ahead...I think that bump in the road and the big white house on the corner. You turn left there. [CHAR TURNS LEFT] Left!
CHAR: I did turn left.
MOM: I mean right.
CHAR: Right?
MOM: Yes.
CHAR: Okay, I'll turn around. Now I turn right.
MOM: Left I think.
CHAR: I thought you said right.
MOM: But we reversed.[CHAR STARTS TO HEAT UP]
MOM: My mind is a complete blank.
[CHAR BITES HER TONGUE]
CHAR: What street is the cemetary on?
MOM: Well, it's either Greenfield or Valley Vista or Granita. Yes, I'm sure it's one of those three.
[CHAR BEGINS TO FUME, DRIVES IN CIRCLES, DISCOVERS CEMETARY ACCIDENTLY. IT'S NOT ON ANY OF THESE ROADS]
THEY GET TO WALMART
MOM: The line says 8 items.
CHAR: [PUZZLED] Yeah so...
MOM: We only have 7.
CHAR: Mom, it means no more than 8.
MOM: I think it means you have to have 8 or they buzz you.
CHAR: They buzz you?
MOM: Yes. If you don't have the right number of items.
CHAR: [TOTALLY EXASPERATED] No, Mom, they shoot you!!
