CRASH, Part 3

SCENE:
They’re still talkin’.

IZZY: Tanner, let it go. We’re having a good time. Try to dissect this frog of a relationship and it will die.

TANNER: I’m not trying to dissect it, Izzy, I’m just… trying to find out where the boundaries are.

TANNER: See, I’ve screwed up every relationship I’ve been in. But if I screw this one up, then I lose a friend and a social group. I can’t afford to blow this one.

IZZY (getting actually mad): Well, you’re gonna blow it if you keep asking me questions, Tanner. Stop investigating. Now.

TANNER: Oh, so you get to set all of the boundaries in this? I don’t get a say?

IZZY: That’s not fair.

TANNER: That’s what Ann always said. I don’t know if I buy that any more.

IZZY: Don’t you dare compare me to Ann, you stupid sonuva –

TANNER: Well, then stop acting –

(Throughout this, Tanner has been paying less and less attention to the road as he drives, in a crescendo of oblivion – and finally, he hits something hard enough that his head rebounds off the steering wheel (which is too old to have an airbag). We don’t see what he hit – just a huge, Jack Kirbysque WHUMP! As Tom’s head rebounds off the car, and his cell phone goes flying into the windshield without cracking it. (It’s not that big an accident.)

There are two panels of silence after this, cut-n-copied panels with Tanner lying unconscious on the wheel as the car rolls to a stop. The third panel is the same, but with a very small voice drifting up from the cell phone)

IZZY: …Tanner?

NEW!
