EXT. ROAD - DAY The sun is getting closer to setting. There is more nature surrounding them and less civilization.
KM
END MONTAGE. INT. ANDY'S CAR - DAY Andy is looking in the rear view mirror at Gibbs. Em is staring at the surroundings.
G
The car hits a speed bump violently. FUCK ME.
ANDY
GIBBS GET TO THE BOMB SHELTER!
te ro W
EM God dammit, Andy!
ANDY I'm sorry! Gibbs just looked so peaceful, I couldn't look away! Andy pulls over to the side of the road.
EM Hold up there's a drug store. Pull into the lot. I'm gonna grab up some goodies. Andy parks the car.
EXT. DRUG STORE PARKING LOT - DAY
M
They all get out of the car. Em heads inside while Andy checks on the car. Gibbs leans on the side and smokes. GIBBS So... did you fuck up the car?
GIBBS The dark ages.
e.
ANDY Nah, she's a trooper. Been with me since-

KM
ANDY HEY! Don't talk to Betsy like that. She has feelings. Besides once you've been inside Betsy, you treat her like a gentleman. Understand? We're not heathens. GIBBS It's a car, man. An ancient one.
G
ANDY Typical pessimist. Just because the car has a couple miles under her belt doesn't make her junk, you monkey!
Andy checks the car for any scratches or dings while Gibbs takes a look around. Em comes back out with a bag full of water and snacks.
te ro W
EM How's Betsy holding up?
ANDY She's all right, no thanks to the Gladiator! EM Gibbs, what did you say to Betsy?
GIBBS Oh, for Christ's sakes... not you too. I was just saying that I would feel more comfortable in a more stable car. Andy shoots up with a look of pure disbelief.
EM Now you've done it, Gibbs.
ANDY You know what, Gibbs... your ass can WALK to the event. Betsy's too good for your kind anyway. (MORE)
e.
GIBBS I'm just being honest!
M
ANDY Stable car? STABLE?! Betsy is a TANK and a LADY.
3.
KM
ANDY (CONT'D) Her previous owner treated her like crap! It was basically domestic violence! It's a good thing I saved her when I did because she didn't have much life left in her! GIBBS You're right, what was I thinking. The car was near psychological death if it weren't for you.
G
ANDY That's not how you treat a lady. Especially one as classy as Betsy. No wonder you're single. GIBBS You're one to talk, lover boy!
te ro W
EM Lover boy? Andy? Really? Who's the lucky guy? GIBBS Yeah Andy. You cheating on me with some bodacious hunk of jerky?
Andy walks around the car and checks it one more time in silence. Em throws the bag in the back seat and Gibbs puts out his cigarette. ANDY If you must know, I met a strapping lad from Sweden. His name is Sven and lord of his lands. We have fallen madly in love and I will NOT have you two ruin what we have. EM Shut up, Andy. Let's get outta here.
M
GIBBS How much further is it?
e.
ANDY For us, should be half an hour, but since your negligent ass is walking now, I can't really say.
Andy and Em get inside the car. Andy locks the doors and begins to drive away slowly.
4. GIBBS Very funny, ASSHOLE. Open the door!
KM
As Gibbs reaches for the car door, Andy speeds off onto the road and out of sight. Gibbs throws his arms in the air and shoots them the bird. A couple minutes later the car appears backing up towards him slowly. Em pokes her head out of the passenger window. EM Andy says you need to get down on your knees and beg for Betsy's forgiveness.
G
GIBBS You're joking, right? EM We both know I'm not the comedian in this friendship.
te ro W
GIBBS This is ridiculous.
The car stops backing up. It begins to pull forward. GIBBS (CONT’D) Shit... All right!
The car begins backing up again and is now five feet away from Gibbs. Gibbs gets down on his knees. There are people standing outside of the drug store watching them. EM Andy says you have to confess your love to Betsy and apologize for taking out your frustrations on her.
M
GIBBS He's one to talk, you know!
The car stops violently. It begins to drive off again.
e.
GIBBS (CONT’D) ALL RIGHT, DUDE! I'M SORRY! I WAS A JERK! BETSY, I’LL NEVER TREAT YOU LIKE THAT AGAIN. YOU ARE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I’VE EVER SEEN AND I’LL NEVER BE MEAN TO YOU AGAIN!
The car backs up and stops right in front of Gibbs.
5. ANDY Now sing to her. She loves Rick Astley.
KM
GIBBS Dude... Please. ANDY I don't make the rules, Gibbs. I just break them.
Gibbs looks over at the crowd of people laughing in front of the drug store. He looks back at Em and shrugs.
G I...
GIBBS
(singing) Never gonna give you up...ANDY SING FROM YOUR HEART!
te ro W
GIBBS (louder singing) NEVER GONNA LET YOUUU DOOWWNN! NEVER GONNA RUN-A-ROUND-AAAND DESEEEEEEERT YOU.... NEVER GONNA MAKE-- YOU-- CRYYYY... NEVER GONNA SAAAAAAAY-EM Gibbs... knock it off. We're gonna get shot. Get in the car.
Gibbs jumps into the car and they drive away.
FADE OUT.
