- [Alice] I like back at that day,

and I realize how very naive I was.

I'd lived my life on a diet of television and magazines.

Clint Eastwood taught me right from wrong.

(guns fires on TV) I didn't go to any church,

but I saw a big screen movie every week.

My first role model was Princess Leia.

My second and third were Thelma and Louise.

I wish so much that my life could be

like one of those Hollywood movies.

(snake rattles)

A life on the road,

with a new adventure around every corner.

I liked him a lot, but I didn't wanna fuck him.

♪ Then I don't know if I should ♪

- [Alice] He really wasn't bad enough for me.

Oh, he tried very hard.

At heart, I knew he wanted the small town things.

A nice house on the hill, happily ever after.

Still, I liked hanging out with him.

Especially since he got the car.

He spent a year doing it up.

Just so as we could go out driving

and pretend like we were on Route 66.

This wasn't easy because we lived in New Zealand.

There were no scorpions and no snakes.

No gangsters, people didn't carry handguns.

It seemed to me like the safest

fucking country in the world,

and I hated it.

To aleve the boredom, we would drive the open roads,

picking up hitchhikers.

Hollywood had told us

that every adventure starts with a stranger,

and so we searched for an outlaw with a story to share.

English.

German. - German (laughs).

- He's the one.

So, you ever robbed anything?

- Yeah, you know, not what I need.

- So I don't suppose you ever killed anyone?

(rockabilly music)

Ah, you know (speaks foreign language) bang, bang.

- Oh, I (speaks foreign language).

- Hey, I'm Bonnie.

- I'm Clyde.

- I like that movie, too.

- Ooh, hey, well listen, you'll appreciate this then.

Well it's not like it's even real.

- You think our idea of fun was bungee jumping? (laughs)

(Alice laughs)

- I want an American adventure.

- Well ah, I'll be your cowboy, little lady.

- Y'all keep your hands to yourself, Johnny boy.

- You know I hate being called Johnny boy.

- Well, you gotta be Johnny something.

- Yeah, I know.

Why can't I be Johnny, Johnny something original?

- Pew.

(truck thunders pass)

(birds chirp)

- Johnny, I want some fun, now.

I know, we could rob the place.

That'd be fun.

- Robbery is only justified if you don't have the money.

- You're so straight.

- And you're so not a good character, huh?

- Well, how bout you pick yourself a pump little lady

and get ready to draw.

Oh. (laughs)

Wish they still settled things this way.

Seems a hell of a lot more honorable than the legal system.

- Ah, you're no hero.

Mine wasn't even loaded.

(country guitar)

- [Station Attendant] Quite a car? You own it?

- [Alice] Yeah.

(snake rattles) (boots clack on ground)

- [Station Attendant] From around here?

- Hey, partner.

- Hey.

- Where ya headed?

- Um,

I don't know. (chuckles)

We're not going very far.

- Won't be no trouble.

- (chuckles) No, my girlfriend, you know,

she, she doesn't like to pick up strangers.

- Do this yourself?

- Yeah.

- All free.

Just a little more leg than they usually see around here.

(boots clack on ground)

- Howdy, ma'am.

- I'm Alice.

- Um, he needs a ride, but I figured we're going.

- Yeah, sure.

No problem.

- Where are you headed?

- West.

- Of course.

(acoustic country music)

- [Seth] My name's Seth.

- Oh, I'm Craig.

- Johnny.

His name's Johnny.

- What, yeah it is Johnny.

It used to be Craig, you know, but I, but I changed it.

- Why's that?

- Well, because ah, Craig's just kind of,

Johnny's just a bit more--

- You ever hear of a hero called Craig?

- (laughs) Nope.

You could be onto something.

- And who are fore you was Alice?

- I've always been Alice.

- Hey, you mind?

- Oh, no.

Help yourself.

So where are you from?

- The States.

- [Johnny] And what do you do there?

- Not much.

- [Johnny] So why'd you come here?

- Just lookin'.

- Are you on the run, Seth?

- No, ma'am.

(driving electronic music)

(dog barks)

- You know what, I don't think he's taking us anywhere.

Something wrong with that voice and his clothes.

Come on, he's just another loser.

I mean, Seth is a fucking inbred.

- Shh.

No, Johnny, I still got a feeling about him.

- [Cashier] Those are bad roads.

Seven years ago today.

They took two of my sons.

- Not me, hey, ma?

- Shouldn't be crossing that land.

- We'll drive safe.

(Johnny chuckles)

- Hey.

If you listened, you might learn something from us, boy.

- Oh, sorry.

(atmospheric country music)

(Tama speaks foreign language)

- So, how long have you two been together?

- Us?

Oh no, we're not together.

(Johnny chuckles)

Oh Johnny, you've been telling people,

I'm your girlfriend again?

(Johnny chuckles)

No,

we're just friends.

- Yeah, we kiss sometimes, though.

- And that's all we do.

- You, you're fucking dead.

(punk rock music)

- [Speed] Told ya we'd get 'em.

- Crime of passion, Johnny.

Slept with someone I shouldn't of.

You care to tell us the truth, Pilgrim?

- That there's loaded, Johnny.

- Jesus, Seth, you've got a real gun?

- Yeah, and a whole lot of marijuana.

- Okay, you got me.

Grass belongs to the folks in the van,

and I was gonna sell it to the boys.

- Of course you still took their money for it.

- What, you didn't fuck anyone's girlfriend?

- Not yet.

- You're a drug dealer.

- Well no, I'm more a go between.

I just put the right folks together.

- [Alice] We had found our outlaw.

He had the drugs, the gun, the bad guys on his tail.

This was the adventure I'd been looking for.

It was perfect.

Too perfect.

You should be careful what you wish for.

- We're going over the Alps?

- Oh yes, siree.

Right across them mountains.

- Sure,

I'm in on that.

- Johnny?

- Well, there's only one road

that goes across them mountains,

and once they know that we're on it--

- Hell Johnny, it don't matter how many roads there are.

It's how fast you drive that counts.

- Here ya go, want some?

- Oh no, I don't do marijuana.

Don't like it.

- It makes her paranoid.

- Yeah, but I do other drugs, just not that one.

Now if you were offering acid, that'd be different.

That's more my scene.

- Is that right?

Why didn't you say so, darling?

This magician's got a bit of everything in his bag.

- Well no wonder they're chasing us.

- Yeah, but I'm not tripping by myself.

We all gotta do it.

- No way, I hate that mind stuff.

- Come on Johnny, it's gotta be everyone.

Acid's my natural state.

Seth, get in the front, man.

- That's a lotta souls.

Puts me off my driving.

- Not exactly rock n roll, hey, Johnny?

- I kinda like them.

I mean, look at this road, it's beautiful.

Ah, if I could spend all of eternity in one place,

this wouldn't be so bad.

- Eternity's a long time, darling.

You want a bit of company on that road.

You really think you could steal our stuff

and get away with it, hmm?

- Huh,

I didn't steal.

Your girlfriend there did a little deal with me.

- Bullshit.

- Well you see what happened was he offered

twice the amount we'd make selling at rate,

so

he's still got the cash, right?

So technically he has stolen from us.

- Oh, darlin'.

You'll get rich,

it just ain't as simple as you think.

and the guilt grew as quickly as the night.

Eyes seemed to stare out from behind the trees.

I knew we shouldn't be on this road,

but I liked the edge that fear brought.

And besides, once you start on a journey like this,

there ain't no going back.

(snake rattles and snarls)

- The spirits.

Everybody has 'em.

- Oh, watch out. - (possum growls)

- Possum.

- That's a bad omen.

- [Johnny] Well, I don't think that's gonna help ya.

Like the man said, it's plastic.

- It doesn't matter what it's made of.

It's whether you believe in it.

What's out there,

can only touch you if you let it in.

- [Nelson] What the fuck you doing here?

Ew, yuck.

- It's still warm.

They must have headed that way.

- How do you know it's them?

- I can tell by the tire marks.

- Really?

- Really.

- And if I put my ear to ground,

I can tell you far they are, too.

- No.

- No.

Jesus, you're fucking stupid sometimes, boy.

This is land tough.

Only us and them are fucking crazy enough

to be out here tonight.

(sighs) These roads meet up a few K's on.

That one gets us there in half the time.

Come on.

(gun clicks)

I wanna know why my brothers died.

- There's no fucking way they're this far ahead.

- Maybe they took the other road.

- No fucking shit, you genius.

(atmospheric electronic music)

(snakes hiss and rattle)

- Ah, oh.

You saw it as well? - No, it's nothing.

I didn't see anything.

- Oh, fuck.

I'm just,

maybe I'm coming down?

I don't know what's real and what isn't.

- Jesus, Alice you're getting boring.

- [Seth] You should have taken some acid, Johnny.

Join the party.

- He wouldn't, he's scared of it.

(Johnny sighs)

- Don't take too many risks, do you Johnny?

- You know, I can do anything you do.

- [Seth] Is that right?

- I would, might be fun.

- Fuck up, Alice.

- Don't tell me to fuck up.

(atmospheric electronic music)

- [Seth] Johnny, why exactly are you along for this ride?

- Cause Alice can't do anything alone.

Cause she needs someone there to play her games.

Make her feel like she's the big star.

- You know, before you met me you were called Craig.

He was being silly and fancied playing computer games.

(Seth and Alice chuckle)

- 46.

One more and it's my record for one trip.

- Got 'em.

(engine roars)

- [Johnny] Oh, shit.

(driving electronic music)

(Owen laughs)

- Terry, what the fuck are you waiting for?

Are you gonna shoot them or not?

(shotgun clacks)

- [Alice] They're catching us.

(shotgun fires) - Oh, Jesus.

(shotgun fires)

(car thunders to stop)

- Fuck.

(shotgun clacks)

- Move you little fuckers and you're dead.

- You know that's loaded, Johnny?

- Get outta the car.

Get outta the fucking car you little shit, aye?

- Hey, what now?

- Easy.

I just wanna see what this fucking brown boy is going to do.

- Oh Johnny, do something.

- [Tama] You fucking move, I'll kill ya, aye?

Fucking mongrel.

- Hey, this is what you want.

- [Tama] It's not about the fucking drugs.

- Is it about your brothers, Tama?

- Who the fuck are you?

(snake hisses)

(shotgun fires)

(handgun fires) (Tama groans)

- Fuck. - You first.

(snake rattles)

(engine whirs)

- It's fucking dangerous, I'm not staying.

- We can't just leave him.

- Daisy. - Get the fuck out.

(truck bangs into car) - Fuck.

(brakes screech) (car bashes into tree)

- Johnny, tell me that wasn't real.

- I think I shot someone.

- Oh Jesus, Johnny. - We should go back.

What if they need our help?

- Somebody finds out you pulled that trigger,

no more Johnny lawyer.

- Man, this fucking trip. (sighs)

- We should go back.

No one was supposed to get hurt.

- I didn't want anyone to get hurt, either.

God, I just want my fucking head back now.

- Seth, turn the car around.

Fuck.

(brakes shutter)

- Now don't you two be getting a conscience now.

You start playing with guns, ain't no going back.

- [Nelson] Stay still.

- Nothing.

Get my brothers out of the car.

(Tama speaks foreign language)

- What the fuck is he saying?

- I don't know.

- What do you mean with the fucking Maori?

(Tama speaks foreign language)

- Fuck, I don't understand any of this.

(Tama groans)

- [Tama] Nelson, get my brothers out of the car.

- Oh

fuck.

47.

(Speed snorts)

Speed?

Owen's dead.

You killed my fucking brother.

- Fucking, Seth killed your fucking brother.

- No, fuck you.

You don't have a fucking idea,

do you, you stupid cunt?

- Don't you ever fucking talk to me like that.

Seth killed your fucking brother,

and I'll kill Seth.

Have you got that?

Fuck you.

(grunts)

- What am I gonna tell mum?

I'm comin' back for you, Owen.

- This is my car, get out.

- Johnny,

this has never been your car.

None of this has ever been about you.

You only ever been here cause of her.

And you wanna know what your little girlfriend really wants?

She wants to be fucked hard by strangers in public toilets.

(Alice sighs)

- [Alice] Fuck.

(ominous electronic music)

- You keep your fucking hands off her.

- You think you can give her what she wants?

You can't even take a little road trip without freaking out.

(snake rattles and gnarls)

- Ah, fuck.

Did you put acid in my drink?

Did you?

- [Alice] What is it?

- Alice, listen to me.

He's not what he seems, okay?

He's dangerous.

Come on, let's just give him the car.

- You only get one chance, Alice.

Walk away now, no more adventures.

- [Johnny] Alice.

- Johnny, I don't wanna just go home.

This is how I wanna live, like this.

- But trust me, this isn't real.

- Ain't enough room for the two of us, Craig.

- Ah, Craig, Johnny, I don't give a fuck what you call me.

I am not leaving here with you.

- I'm unarmed, Johnny.

Shooting me cold ain't exactly the honorable way.

- Okay, let's settle this.

Let's do it right.

- [Speed] Terry, hurry the fuck up.

- [Nelson] Fuck.

Hey.

Fuck no.

How the fuck are we supposed to get him to a hospital now?

- If he died, we wouldn't owe anymore money.

We could keep this.

- Fuck.

Fuck it, Daisy, I'm sick of this shit.

- I'm thinking of you, too.

- You take your money.

You take the money and fuck off.

Hey, friend.

(Tama speaks foreign language)

Ah.

Oh, no.

(bullets click on ground)

- Just one shot each,

if neither of us get it,

then I'll walk away.

- One bullet.

- Heads.

- [Alice] Yeah, it's heads.

(ominous electronic music)

Johnny, you don't have to do this.

- It's my decision.

It's okay.

- [Alice] Oh, fuck.

I can't watch this.

Even taking acid isn't a game, it's just fucking crazy.

This is a nightmare.

- Pull the trigger.

(gun fires) (Johnny groans)

(Johnny gasps)

- Is that what you wanted, Johnny?

(snake rattles)

You're a real cowboy hero.

(snake rattles)

She'll love your forever.

(snake rattles) - Johnny, this isn't funny.

Oh.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

You did it, you shot him.

Johnny.

Oh,

Johnny.

We just have to get him to a hospital,

and he'll be alright.

Get,

get him to a doctor.

Hey, you need a new shirt.

God, this one's a mess.

Do this up.

- [Seth] Close his eyes.

- Why?

- May see something that you'd rather not know about.

(somber acoustic music)

(Speed snorts)

I'm gonna stop for gas,

and you're gonna rob the place.

- What?

- This is your trip, darlin'.

I ain't seen much action from ya.

(ominous electronic music)

You said you'd do anything I do.

- [Cashier] Hi, dear.

- [Alice] Yeah, hi.

I need to take all your cash.

- [Cashier] Oh, it's a fucking slug gun.

It's pretty cool.

(pellet gun fires) (cashier moans)

- [Cashier] Fucking hit, fucking hit, you fucking bitch.

- [Alice] Yeah, now it might not kill you,

but we both know this next shot

is gonna hurt a fuck of a lot more.

- [Cashier] Okay, okay.

Fucking toy gun.

I suppose you're gonna shoot me, too?

Go on, then.

Go on.

- [Seth] Huh, you people, you should be careful

what you ask for.

(gun fires)

- [Alice] Oh.

Fuck, Seth.

This isn't fucking America,

you can't just go around shooting everybody.

- [Seth] But I thought a little piece

of America is what you wanted?

- [Alice] Oh, this is fucked up.

- [Seth] Let's go, come on.

- [Alice] Hey, hey, why'd you stop?

- This is where we hide the dead.

- He's not dead.

We just have to get him to a hospital.

Johnny can't die.

- I know he's dead cause I killed him.

- Oh, you fuck, you fucking,

how much fucking acid did you take?

- Darlin', I didn't take any acid.

Hell, I couldn't run this party

if I was tripping off of my head.

Get his feet.

(ominous electronic music)

This is it.

- Oh.

What the fuck kind of smell is that?

- Death.

- You are not putting Johnny in with the dead fucking sheep.

(dogs howl and bark) - Shh.

(gun fires) - Oh.

(snake rattles)

(boot whacks against head)

Course you know your pal's a fag.

You wanna know what he does in them rooms?

He said I was the best fuck he's ever had.

And that's been driving him crazy all day.

He just didn't know he'd like it so much. (chuckles)

- That's what all this about?

This

is what Owen died for?

Fuck you.

(body booms into fence)

(fist thuds into stomach)

(fist whaps against head) (Speed groans)

(heads whack) (Speed groans)

Yeah, you wanna fuck me, too?

Hey.

You wanna fuck it to me?

(atmospheric electronic music)

- Some velvet morning.

- [Terry] You told me fucking lies.

Huh, mate, all my fucking life.

(head thuds against fence)

(heads crack) (Speed groans)

(foot whacks against head)

(fist whaps against face)

(heads whack)

- The truth always gets you in the end.

(gun hammer clacks) - Seth, wait

I wanna do it.

I wanna kill somebody.

I'd understand, then.

We'd be the same.

- You really wanna be like me, Alice?

(gun chamber clicks)

(boot whacks against head)

- Cowboy.

It's time to die.

(shotgun clacks)

- Do it.

Ya always wanted to.

(shotgun fires)

- [Seth] Alice?

Alice?

Alice?

You started this, darlin'.

You asked for it.

Let me in.

(ominous electronic music)

(laughs) Think about it, Alice.

I want you on it.

A life on the road with a new adventure around every corner.

You can't hide from me, Alice.

(Alice whimpers)

I'm a part of you.

Alice.

(gun barrel rattles) It's your dream.

Car,

sex,

drugs.

(gun clicks)

You even got a chance to rob a fucking store.

- I didn't want anything to happen to Johnny.

(gun hammer clacks)

- He was the only real thing you ever had.

(snake rattles)

Isn't this the world you wanted.

- No.

I'm not playing anymore.

(gun fires)

(electronic buzz)

(snake rattles)

(snake rattles)

(skin cracks)

(waves crash)

As I watched the dawn break that morning,

it seemed like the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen.

My senses were alive.

The whole world was mine.

And my heart was broken.

(atmospheric country rock)

(lighter clicks)

(car thunders down cliff)

(explosive boom)

I had earned my snakeskin jacket.

And with it, I had acquired a strange wisdom.

I could see deep into the soul of any stranger.

And I could become anything they wanted.

(snake rattles)

(atmospheric rock music)
