Hotwired in Suburbia

Hurry up!

I'm going as fast as I can.

No, you're not. You're milking it to piss me off.

You're so paranoid.

Come on.

Whoo!

Slow down!

Come on.

Whoo! Baby!

How's it handle?

Steering's mushy, front end alignment's soft, and RPMs are running a bit hot.

My God. You're such a nerd.

Pull over, I want to drive.

Forget it.

I stole it, I get to drive it.

Come on, Em. You always get to drive it.

But this is really fun.

- Crap. - Just pull over.

It's okay, it's okay. We'll be fine.

We're in a stolen car.

It's fine, okay? Trust me.

I've talked my way out of worse situations. Don't worry.

There's something I didn't tell you.

I don't actually have my driver's license.

What?

My mom wouldn't even let me take the test.

She's scared I'll die in a crash.

Em, my God. Are you kidding me right now?

I've got possible suspects.

What do we do?

Hang on.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

My God.

Holy crap.

I don't see them.

Em, where are we going to go?

Hang on.

That was awesome.

Yeah, I'm glad you liked it,

because we are so not doing that again.

Yeah, right. Where have I heard that before?

I'm serious, Max! No more joyriding.

Okay. Jeez. Bite my head off.

Can't a girl just have a little fun?

I'm sorry she's still in pieces, Dad.

Parts cost money and minimum wage sucks.

Maybe you should ask for more shifts.

They can barely afford to keep me on as it is.

Maybe you should look for a better job.

I need a car for a better job, and a driver's license.

Nice try.

Is there something you want to tell me?

Like how awesome of a mom you are?

It's a school night, Em.

I'm sorry, I lost track of time.

Yeah, right. Well, I don't know where you and Max go every night

but a little bit more focus on the future

wouldn't hurt either of you.

Come on, don't you have homework or something?

I already did it.

All right.

Well, just call next time so I'm not worrying.

Deal. Anything else?

Yeah. Get your butt in bed, it's almost 11.

watch movies and series w w w . p i t k i n i . c o m

Miss Wheeler, can I have a word?

What?

First of all, you can drop the attitude.

Second of all,

you're supposed to be on the machine press today.

You have a project due, remember?

You said I could do engines first.

When you're done your other work.

By the time I get back you better be well on your way

to a lawn dart, young lady.

Lawn darts, really? What a prick.

He just resents the fact that I'm a better mechanic than him.

Really? Are you?

You've been here for what? Two days?

So I forgive you for not knowing that.

I see.

So you think you're the queen of this little ant farm?

What do you say we... we prove it to you?

Be my guest.

You're sure you're up for this?

Bring it, new guy.

Okay, neither of these cars can start without a key.

On your mark, get set...

hotwire!

Yeah! That's the stuff!

Keep going. Keep going.

Car.

How the hell did you do that?

Powered the starter.

All right.

Thanks.

- I'm Dylan. - Emily.

Nice ink.

You like? Got that my first week in juvie.

So that's why I haven't seen you around.

Yeah. Not my finest six months.

Six. What'd you do? Rob a bank?

Do you really have to ask?

My God. Is this where tires come to die?

How did you even find this place?

An old friend of my dad's recommended it.

You can find any tire you want.

Yeah, well, the only thing we're getting here is the evil eye.

Hi. I called about the '70 Dodge Charger.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got that.

- You sure you don't need two? - I'm good.

- All right. - Yeah. Here you go.

Yeah, cash only.

I don't have enough. Can you spot me?

I'll pay you back as soon as I get to an ATM.

Em.

Thank you.

All right.

God, this place is so weird.

- I love it. - Of course you do.

Stevie.

You got it, you got it.

Em!

Hey.

- Cool. - Pleasure doing business.

Thanks.

- You got it? - Yup.

What?

The VIN number from that car was missing.

So?

So that's illegal.

I think that car was stolen

and they were stripping it for parts.

Stop. You think Homeboy's running a chop-shop in there?

What do you want to do? Go get our money back?

No. It'll be twice as much anywhere else.

Let's just go.

You sure you don't want to drop off a resume?

Funny. Ha-ha!

Hey! I'm so sorry I'm late.

The bus driver wouldn't wait for me

and then I had to take a cab and there was traffic.

What?

"Things are tight"?

Really?

You're like her best employee.

My mom will be happy.

She wanted me to get a better job anyway.

Like what? Stocking boxes?

Maybe you could scrape gum off of

the bleachers at school.

Okay, it's not like I have a lot of options.

I'm making a point.

Working more of these crappy jobs

isn't going to get you anywhere.

You want me to go back to that chop-shop, don't you?

Yes, I do.

I can't steal cars for money.

We're already stealing cars for free.

Why not get a little more out of it

other than just a good old lady boner?

Come on!

What's the worst that can happen?

We're underage, which means we're practically untouchable.

If they catch us, we go to juvie for a few months

and, you know, say hi to your boyfriend's friends.

Big deal.

Okay, he's not my boyfriend.

Not yet.

Can we do this?

Just let me do all the talking, okay?

And please, take the stick out of your butt.

I don't think I heard y'all right.

I think you did.

You trying to play me, girl?

We're just trying to do a business deal, that's all.

You need inventory, and let's be real,

you don't really care where it comes from.

We can help with that.

As long as you're willing to cut us in.

Y'all either real stupid or cops.

And I know y'all ain't no cops.

Right?

Show 'em, Em.

Where is she going?

Just watch, okay?

No, hold up.

No, seriously, just wait. Girl, do your thing.

I ain't got no time for all of this, man.

Trust me. You're going to want to see this, okay?

This is my shop. You understand that?

- Just give her a second. - So get you girl out of there.

I ain't got no time.

We should talk about money.

We were thinking a flat fee of $500 per car to start.

What do you say?

Yeah. Okay.

Hit it, girl!

Let's see how fast this one can go!

Push it!
