EXT. COUNTRY ROAD - DAY
A BRIGHT YELLOW CAR IS PARKED AT AN ANGLE ON THE GRASS VERGE.
SLOUCHED IN THE DRIVER`S SEAT, CAT (21), IS ASLEEP. THE CAR ROCKS, JERKING CAT AWAKE.
INT. CAR - DAY
CAT
Huh? Wassamatter?
CAT YAWNS AND STROKES THE STEERING WHEEL.
CAT
You ready to go?
CAT LOOKS AROUND.
CAT
Just how I like it. No cars.
SUDDENLY A CAR WHIPS PAST. CAT SCREAMS AND CLINGS TO THE WHEEL.
CAT
That was close, some of my chakras nearly chucked up.
AS CAT TAKES A TISSUE FROM THE GLOVE BOX, THE RADIO COMES ON.
CAT
Oh, so that`s how it works!
AS CAT REACHES FOR HER BAG, HER SEAT JUMPS BACK.
CAT
That`s enough of that young man!
CAT BELTS UP AND PREPARES TO MOVE OFF.
CAT
I`m in control. Perfectly in control. Absolutely in control.
BIG BANANA STALLS. CAT TRIES AGAIN AND THEY SKID INTO THE ROAD.
CAT
We did it! We`re off!
A CYCLIST IS UP AHEAD.
CAT
Here we go! Why do they bother! They take up the whole road, then have the cheek to blame the driver if they fall off.
CAT`S SPEED DROPS TO A CRAWL AS SHE FOLLOWS THE CYCLIST UP A STEEP HILL.
CAT
Get out of the way! Hey you there! You with the bike, move over or I`ll run you down and I`m not joking.
CAT`S FOOT SLIPS ONTO THE ACCELERATOR. BIG BANANA LURCHES FORWARDS JUST AS THE CYCLIST MANAGES TO DIVE INTO THE BUSHES.
CAT
Sorry, can`t stop!
CAT LOOKS IN HER REAR VIEW MIRROR. THE CYCLIST HAS DISAPPEARED.
CAT
I`m sure he`ll understand. Anyway, who`d want a man, when I`ve got you all to myself.
THE ROAD AHEAD IS CLEAR.
CAT
Woo-hoo! This is it! This is driving! Foot down and flooring it! The speed! The power! The excitement! The buzz!
A VERY OLD DILAPIDATED CAR OVERTAKES.
CAT
Show off!
CAT CHECKS HER MAKEUP IN THE MIRROR AND WRIGGLES IN HER SEAT.
CAT
Sorry gotta stop, I`m dying for the loo. Hold on, here we go!
BIG BANANA SKIDS TO A STOP. CAT LEAPS OUT AND HEADS TO A WOOD.
BIG BANANA STANDS MOTIONLESS.
EXT. WOOD - DAY
CAT TRIES TO RETRACE HER FOOTSTEPS.
CAT
Now I`m lost and I`ve lost my Big Banana!
CAT WANDERS AROUND.
CAT
Where are you? Give me a sign you can hear me. Please?
SILENCE.
CAT
Hey you! You with the spoilers, the air con and the bloody fifth gear I found by mistake, I thought we were a team?
SILENCE
CAT
We had something special going on. One woman. One car. One hubcap. One heart.
SILENCE
CAT
How could I have been so stupid. It`s been a one-sided relationship from the start. Whatever did I see in you?
CAT`S BOTTOM LIP BEGINS TO TREMBLE.
CAT
I could have gone for an automatic with four doors and a navigation doo-dah, that tells me where to go. It talks, God damn you! You say nothing and it hurts real bad.
TEARS STREAMING DOWN HER FACE, CAT TOSSES HER CAR KEY INTO A BUSH.
CAT
(defeated)
Put that in your out-sized double exhaust and smoke it!
SUDDENLY BIG BANANA`S ALARM ACTIVATES ITSELF.
CAT SMILES, RETRIEVES HER KEYS AND RUNS TOWARDS THE ALARM.
CAT
I`m coming Big Banana. I`m coming!
EXT. COUNTRY ROAD - DAY
A BREATHLESS CAT ARRIVES BACK AT BIG BANANA`S SIDE. AS SHE DOES SO, THE ALARM STOPS AND THE DRIVER`S DOOR SWINGS OPEN. CAT KISSES BIG BANANA LIGHTLY ON THE ROOF AND CLIMBS IN.
CAT
I knew you were different and special and unique... I didn`t really want you to be a four door, or an automatic... I love you just the way you are.
CAT STRAPS HERSELF IN AND EFFORTLESSLY DRIVES OFF.
