Stranded in a small town Livvie learns what she wants and needs are two different things
This is the first 25 pages of a script I have been working on for two years.

FADE IN:
EXT: FRONT YARD -- DAY
LIVVIE TOWNSEND, bright pink hair, early 20's picks up a guitar case, goes to the passenger side back door, puts the guitar case in the back.
LADY (O.S.)
You are NOT leaving, young lady!!!!
Passenger door slams shut.
LIVVIE
What? You gonna stop me? I don't think so.
ABIGAIL TOWNSEND, Late 40's(looks early 30's due to lots of plastic surgery a vision of a true Southern Belle), stands in the driveway.
ABIGAIL
What you going to go off to California to become a famous singer? Right. More like going to California to become a famous escort.
LIVVIE
I wouldn't even be having this argument if Dad were here.
Livvie walks to the driver's side door.
ABIGAIL
You father? You think you father would support you on this?
LIVVIE
Daddy always supported me...
ABIGAIL
Well let me tell you one thing honey...that's what he told you so he wouldn't hurt your feelings. He really thought you were...what's the word...terrible.
Livvie storms over to where Alexis is standing and gets in her face.
LIVVIE
He did not!
ABIGAIL
Well, guess you'll never really know, since he's not here will you.  Go ahead and go to California make a fool out of yourself, but know this young lady you won't be coming back here.
LIVVIE
Go to hell!
Livvie gets into her car and speeds off, leaving Alexis in the driveway.
INT: CAR -- DAY
It's raining steady. The wipers squeak as they clean the windshield.
Livvie picks up a flyer from the front seat. It reads Sunset Record Company Annual Showcase. June 17-19.
She looks over her shoulder at the guitar case in the backseat.
FLASHABACK TO:
INT: LIVVIE'S BEDROOM-- DAY (7 YEARS EARLIER)
Livvie plays the guitar while her DAD(late 40's, handsome) sits and listens. He is entranced by her playing.
Livvie finishes.
LIVVIE
Daddy?
DAD
Yes Livvie?
LIVVIE
What did you think?
DAD
I think you're magnificent.
Livvie blushes.
LIVVIE
Oh, Daddy...
Dad moves from the chair to the window seat that Livvie is seating on.
DAD
You're a natural Lovebug. The music just flows from you like the sweet smell of Asiatic Lilies.
LIVVIE
Daddy...I'm not that good.
DAD
Livvie, you really must have more faith in yourself. You're smart, beautiful, and talented. You make me proud everyday. I am so lucky to have a daughter like you.
LIVVIE
I'm the lucky one, Daddy. Thank you for believing in me.
DAD
Lovebug, I'll always believe in you. Always.
A loud horn blows.
Livvie swerves to avoid a pick-up truck.
She comes to a stop.
She tries to catch her breath.
LIVVIE
Good going Livvie.
INT: PICK-UP TRICK -- DAY
BLAKE ADDAMS, mid-20's drives home in his pick-up. The rain is coming down so hard he can't see 5 feet in front of him.
BLAKE
What the hell was that?
Blake turns to see tail lights stop in the road.
Blake gets out,heads toward the car when it suddenly starts to move downward.
BLAKE (CONTD)
Aw hell! The embankment.
Blake bolts toward the car.
INT: CAR -- DAY
Livvie realizes the car is moving, but it's not running.
LIVVIE
Oh my God!
Livvie fumbles with her seatbelt.
LIVVIE (CONT'D)
(hysterically crying)
Oh come on let go!
She gets the seatbelt undone.
Her car hits the water.
EXT. EMBANKMENT -- DAY
Blake makes it to the embankment as the car goes into the water.
He tries to use his cellphone but can't get a signal.
BLAKE
Damn it!
He heads down the embankment.
The rain is pouring down, like the heavens themselves opened up.
INT: CAR -- DAY
Livvie tries to open the door, it won't budge.
She notices the guitar in the backseat. She tries to unbuckle it, but it's stuck. Water starts coming into the car.
LIVVIE
Please, oh god! Let go! Come on please!
A knock on the window catches Livvie attention.
LIVVIE (CONT'D)
Help me please! I can't get it unbuckled, please help!
EXT. WATER -- DAY
Blake is outside the car.
BLAKE
Ok, Calm down. Don't panic.
Livvie nods her head in agreement.
INT. CAR -- DAY
The car starts to fill with water.
LIVVIE
(crying)
There's water! I can't get the door it's stuck!
EXT. WATER -- DAY
Blake looks around for something to break the glass with. He can't find anything.
BLAKE
Look away, cover your head!
INT. CAR -- DAY
Livvie shields her head with her hands then turns away from the window.
EXT. WATER -- DAY
Blake starts hitting the window with his fist, it won't break. He won't stop, his hand starts bleeding.
BLAKE
Break damn it, come on break!
INT. CAR -- DAY
Livvie hears the beating on the window.
Water is up to her waist.
She turns toward the window and puts her hands on the glass, looks desperately at Blake.
LIVVIE
Please don't leave me! I don't want to die!
EXT. WATER -- DAY
Blake stops hitting the glass that is covered with his blood.
BLAKE
I'm not leaving you! Cover your head!
INT. CAR -- DAY
Livvie moves away from the window, covers her head.
EXT. WATER -- DAY
Blake slams into the window with everything he has. The window shatters.
Water starts rushing in.
BLAKE
Give me your hand! Come on give me your hand!
Blake pulls Livvie from the car as if she was a rag doll.
Blake and Livvie swim toward shore.
EXT: EMBANKMENT -- NIGHT
Blake lies on the ground as the hard rain continues. Livvie lays nearly unconscious beside him.
LIVVIE
(half-conscious)
Beau...I gotta...get...Beau...Beau...
Blake, jumps up and bolts for the water, and dives for the car.
He emerges and dives again. Emerges and dives again, Emerges and dives again, more panicked with each dive.
BLAKE
I can't find him!
Blake dives once again. Livvie sets up and watches for Blake.
BLAKE (CONT'D)
I can't see shit!!! Who am I looking for?
LIVVIE
My Guitar!!
Blake is stunned into silence, then it explodes like fireworks.
BLAKE
Your what? Oh hell no, I didn't just risk my life for a guitar.
Blake makes his way out of the water. When he makes it to the shore he grabs for Livvie and yanks her to her feet.
BLAKE (CONT'D)
Come on!
LIVVIE
Where are we going?
BLAKE
Hospital!
Blake and Livvie struggle up the embankment.
Livvie turns to take one last look at her car.
LIVVIE
What about my guitar, my stuff?
BLAKE
It's gone! Get over it and get in the truck!
LIVVIE
But it's the only thing I have left...the only thing I have that my dad gave me.
BLAKE
Look I'm really sorry but I don't care if  Keith Richards gave it to you! I could care less if Stevie Ray Vaughan descended from the heavens and laid his very own Number One at your feet and begged you to take it! I'm not killing myself over a guitar!
Blake walks off leaving Livvie.
Livvie watches as the raging river swallows her whole life. The flyer from the showcase floats to the top along with sheet music, and a few personal items.
LIVVIE
Mom one, Livvie zero...fuck!
BLAKE (O.S.)
Coming?
LIVVIE
Yeah.
Livvie shuffles, dejected, to the truck.
INT. BLAKE'S TRUCK: -- NIGHT
The rain won't let up. Blake white knuckles the steering wheel with his good arm.
He looks at his right arm and sees a huge knot, broken.
He struggles to shift the gears.
BLAKE
Damnit!
Livvie watches in silence, unsure what to say.
BLAKE (CONT'D)
Hell fire!
The gears grind.
LIVVIE
Let me help.
BLAKE
No thanks. I've seen what happens when you drive. I'll pass.
LIVVIE
Well you're not doing such a good job. Look I can at least shift gears I know how to drive a stick.
Blake tries again to shift , this time with his left hand. He veers off the road.
Livvie tries not to laugh.
BLAKE
(winces in pain)
Fine. I'll clutch, you shift. Think you can handle that?
LIVVIE
I think I got it.
Blake clutches.
BLAKE
Now!
Livvie pulls back on the stick. It grinds.
BLAKE (CONT'D)
Thought you said you knew what you were doing?
LIVVIE
I do! It's just kinda difficult from the passenger side!
Livvie starts to slide over.
BLAKE
What are you doing?
LIVVIE
Getting a better grip.
Livvie straddles the gear shift. She gets a little to close. Blake's arm accidentally rubs up against her chest.
BLAKE
Sorry.
Livvie pulls back the gear shift. The truck moves forward.
LIVVIE
(pleased with herself)
Don't worry about it.
Blake, suddenly becomes aware that she's a woman, not a girl and a sexy one at that, nods. His eyes follow her hands on the stick, up her thighs, to her clinging shirt...
LIVVIE (CONT'D)
Look out!
Blake slams on the brakes just before they plunge head first into the raging river. The bridge is out, completely washed engulfed by the river.
BLAKE
Damn!
LIVVIE
Please tell that wasn't the only way to the ...
BLAKE
Yeah, it was.
Blake is pissed. He awkwardly uses his wrist to throw the truck in reverse.
She too becomes aware. She gasps.
Blake whips the truck around and heads back the way he came.
LIVVIE
Where are we going?
BLAKE
Home!
Livvie shifts automatically. They both ride the rest of the way in silence.
EXT. BLAKE'S HOUSE -- NIGHT
The rain is steady. Not giving an inch.
Blake whips the truck into the drive. It comes to an immediate stop.
INT. BLAKE'S TRUCK -- NIGHT
BLAKE
You comin?
Blake opens the door and holds it open for Livvie.
Livvie slides out, grabs Blake's broken arm by accident.
BLAKE (CONT'D)
Oh...God!
Livvie jerks her hand away as if she touched something hot.
LIVVIE
Oh my God, I'm sorry.
Blake shakes his head, and points toward the house.
Livvie runs toward the porch.
Blake slams the door hard, runs to the house.
INT. BLAKE'S LIVINGROOM -- NIGHT
It's dark, but Livvie can still tell there's not much there.
Blake flicks the light switch but nothing.
BLAKE
Wait right here.
LIVVIE
'Kay.
Blake leaves her to the darkness.
Livvie folds her arms afraid to touch anything. Suddenly she is overcome with complete darkness.
BLAKE
Alright. I found some matches...Hey where'd ya go?
Blake walks toward the door where he left Livvie.
BLAKE (CONT'D)
Hey...hey where you at?
Blake sees her on the floor in front of the door. He bends down to check on her.
BLAKE (CONT'D)
You ok?
He gives her a slight shake.
Livvie just moans.
BLAKE (CONT'D)
Great.
He scoops her up, almost dropping her. He adjusts with his good arm.
Livvie's head falls on his shoulder.
INT. BLAKE'S BEDROOM -- NIGHT
It's even less furnished than the livingroom.
Blake lays Livvie on the bed.
INT. BLAKE'S LIVINGROOM -- NIGHT
Blake grabs the matches and oil lamps from the floor.
BLAKE
You just had to go to town. Nope couldn't wait till it stopped raining. Now you got a girl in your bed, smooth.
INT. BLAKE'S BEDROOM -- NIGHT
Livvie lies still on Blake's bed.
Blake walks over and puts the oil lamp on the night stand. Looks at Livvie. There hasn't been a woman in his bed in a long time.
He lights the oil lamps.
Livvie looks angelic in the lamp light.
Blake can't take his eyes off her.
Livvie shivers.
Blake realizes she is still wet.
BLAKE
OK.
Blake sits beside her on the bed. He gives her a little shake.
BLAKE (CONT'D)
Hey. Wake up. You're soaked.
Blake shakes her harder.
BLAKE (CONT'D)
Come on wake up, you're gonna catch pneumonia.
Nothing.
Slowly he unbuttons her drenched shirt. He's almost afraid to touch her, almost like she'll break.
Livvie moans, but nothing.
Blake fumbles with the buttons,it's a lot harder than it should be with one broken arm, the shirt sticks to her like saran wrap. He peels it off her, throws it to the floor
Blake unbuttons her shorts. He's grateful they're not jeans. They are vacuum sealed to her legs. He tugs at them, hard.
Livvie wakes, shoots up in bed like a rocket.
LIVVIE
What are you doin?
BLAKE
Nothing. You're soakin' wet. You've got to get out of these wet clothes before you catch your death of cold.
LIVVIE
What are you doin?
BLAKE
I just told you...
Livvie punches him with a right hook , collapses again.
BLAKE (CONT'D)
Oh, shit! If you weren't a girl...
Blake massages his jaw, she definitely doesn't hit like a girl.
He yanks the shorts off without regard for her volatility.
He throws everything in a pile in the floor.
He goes to his closet,takes out a flannel shirt.
He pulls her up from the bed,she falls into him.
Blake flinches.
BLAKE (CONT'D)
Just get her dressed.
Blake quickly puts his shirt on her and lays her down, he finishes dressing her. Then covers with an old quilt.
She signs softly, contently.
BLAKE (CONT'D)
An angel with a right hook from hell.
Blake massages his jaw and looks at her one more time. She's beautiful. He shuts the door behind him.
Livvie sleeps peacefully.
INT. BLAKE'S BEDROOM -- DAY
Livvie wakes to the sound of chirping birds. The sunlight beams through the window.
LIVVIE
Hello? Anybody there?
She gets out of bed and notices she not dressed in what she came in.
Laying on the end of the bed is her shorts, she can't find her shirt.
EXT. BLAKE'S BACKYARD -- DAY
Livvie has changed into her shorts, tied the shirt around her to make it fit.
LIVVIE
Are you here? Hello...
It looks like a tornado hit, tools, debris scattered throughout the back yard.
Livvie notices the barn and walks toward it.
INT. BARN -- DAY
She slowly opens the barn door, on guard, waiting for anything, anybody to jump out.
It's full of tools, junk, boxes stacked everywhere.
LIVVIE
Are you in here? Hello...anybody?
She creeps her way inside looking, touching, she notices in the back corner almost hidden...a guitar.
She digs it out. It's dusty, old, the stings are broken, half hanging.
LIVVIE (CONT'D)
Let's see if I can fix you .
Livvie starts diggin through boxes, looking for string, oil, clothes, anything to fix the guitar.
She finds the strings and repairs each string, carefully.
She digs around for oil, boxes are everywhere. Finally in an old tool box she finds what she's looking for.
She oils each and every crook, curve, neck, body. Slowly, gently, caressing each and every inch of the guitar, as if it were a lover.
EXT. BLAKE'S BACKYARD -- DAY
Blake comes out the kitchen door.
BLAKE
Where'd you go?
Blake hears music, soft sweet music. But from where?
Blake follows the music to the barn, he looks inside.
Livvie's playing with her back to the door, singing softly.
She's playing a ballad, singing so softly she' almost not heard.
Blake watches, listens.
INT. BARN -- DAY
Livvie plays and sings, as if noone is around, just her, the music, and the wind.
The barn door creaks, Livvie turns to see Blake standing there.
She jumps as if she just got caught stealing.
LIVVIE
You weren't here when I woke up. I went looking for you and I couldn't find you. When I went outside You weren't anywhere.
Livvie walks toward Blake with guitar in her hand.
LIVVIE (CONT'D)
I saw the barn and thought maybe you were in there but you weren't. I started looking around and I found it. I fixed it and cleaned it up. Hope you don't mind. It sounds real good, considering.
Livvie hands Blake the guitar.
LIVVIE (CONT'D)
Sorry, I'm gonna go inside.
Livvie heads for the house.
Blake watches her as she walks away, puts the guitar back in the barn and walks toward the house.
INT. BLAKE'S TRUCK -- DAY
Livvie sits quietly.
Blake drives quietly, he shifts gears.
Livvie notices the cast.
LIVVIE
Sorry about your arm.
BLAKE
Don't worry about it.
Livvie notices his jaw.
LIVVIE
What happened to your face?
BLAKE
Don't worry about it.
LIVVIE
"Kay.
They drive in silence for awhile.
LIVVIE (CONT'D)
Where we going?
BLAKE
Town.
LIVVIE
Why?
BLAKE
Your car.
LIVVIE
They found it. It runs? Where did they find it?
BLAKE
Up river.
EXT. GARAGE -- DAY
TOBY looks over a car that looks like it was pulled from a tar pit.
Blake's truck pulls up. Blake gets out and walks toward Toby. They exchange words. Blake motions to Livvie to come there.
Livvie joins them.
BLAKE
It's her's.
LIVVIE
Hello. I was told my car's here. I'd like to get it and be on my way.
Toby looks at Blake and burst out in laughter, points to the car.
TOBY
Lady, that's your car.
Livvie's car is covered in mud, branches, and other slimy river muck.
LIVVIE
That's my car? You said it was running.
BLAKE
No I didn't.
LIVVIE
Yes, you did!
BLAKE
No. I just said they found it. I gotta go. Later Toby.
Blake leaves Livvie to her car.
LIVVIE
Hey, what about my car?
Blake stops and looks at, rubs his bruised jaw.
BLAKE
Not my problem.
Blake drives off.
Livvie turns back to Toby.
LIVVIE
So, when can I get my car?
TOBY
Well, looks like 2 weeks at the latest. Gotta clean it out first just to see what I can do.
LIVVIE
Two weeks? What the hell am I gonna do for two weeks?
TOBY
Look you can pay for this right?
LIVVIE
Absolutely, not a problem. I've got plenty of money.
Toby walks to Livvie's car and opens the door. Water and dead fish gush out of the car.
Livvie shakes her head than walks across the street.
EXT. DINNER -- DAY
Livvie digs into her pants pocket,pulls out a small handful of cash, shoves it back into her pockets and heads inside. She notices a HELP WANTED sign as she heads in.
LIVVIE
Yeah, I've got plenty of money.
INT: DINER -- DAY
Checkered tablecloths, fresh flowers on the tables. Newspaper clippings about the town hang from the wall, along with pictures of the townsfolk dating back generations.
The diner is full and very busy.
ANNIE, early 50ís, is overwhelmed by all the customers.
LIVVIE
Excuse me?
ANNIE
Just grab a seat honey, I'll be with you when I can.
Livvie heads to the counter.
A table of four men is getting upset because they have been waiting too long.
MAN #1
Annie...
ANNIE
Give me a sec. I'm a little short handed today.
Livvie sees an extra pad lying on the counter; she grabs it, and makes her way to the table.
LIVVIE
How hard can it be?... How can I help you, gentlemen?
INT: DINER-DAY
Livvieís arms are full of plates.
She makes her way back to the table of men.

MAN #3
No, thanks.

LIVVIE
Be right back.
INT: DINER-DAY
Lunch is winding down.  Livvie hasnít stopped since she started, she looks as though she worked 24 straight.
The four men are walking out the door, Livvie sees them leave.
LIVVIE
Thanks. You guys have a good day.
The four men stop, wave, smile.  They walk out of the diner.
Livvie walks over to the table, starts to clean it off. She notices all the men have left a ten dollar bill each with their ticket.
Livvie is speechless. She finishes cleaning off the table.
Annie walks up as Livvie finishes with last table.
ANNIE
Thanks for your help.
LIVVIE
Thatís ok. You looked a little swamped.
ANNIE
Sure was. Our day shift waitress quit this morning, you want her job?
LIVVIE
Iíd love the job.
ANNIE
Youíre hired. By the way, Iím Annie and this (raises her hands to wave around the diner) is Meme's Kitchen.
LIVVIE

Livvie hands her a hand full of money.
ANNIE

Annie walks to the window and removes the HELP WANTED sign.
EXT: DINER -- NIGHT
The day is over. Annie and Annie's husband JAKE, late 50's, are locking up the diner.
Livvie's exhausted.
ANNIE
So how was your first day?
LIVVIE
This was a lot harder than I thought, but I made pretty good tips.
ANNIE
So when did you move here?
LIVVIE
How did you know I just got here?
ANNIE
You kinda stand out a bit, dear.
Livvie becomes aware of her pink hair. She's had it so long she's forgotten about it.
LIVVIE
Guess I kinda do. Where can I get a place to stay?
ANNIE
You don't have a place to stay, yet?
Livvie stops in front of the auto body shop.
LIVVIE
Well, Toby is working on my car, so I'm kinda stranded until then.
ANNIE
Well than you can just stay at our house. We have plenty of room.
LIVVIE
I couldnít.
Annie and Jake look at each other.
JAKE
Thereís no sense in arguing with her. Youíll never win. Trust me, in 30 years, I have yet to win.
LIVVIE
Are you sure? Youíve already done so much.
ANNIE
Absolutely. I insist.
Annie puts her arm around Livvie, they walk down the sidewalk.
INT. SPARE ROOM -- NIGHT
The room is small. Bed, dresser, nightstand, and a small table and chair near the window. A homemade quilt on the bed, a lot of love and care went into the room.
Livvie makes her way to the bed. She lies down and is asleep before her head hits the pillow.
INT. SPARE ROOM -- NIGHT
Annie peaks into the room to check on Livvie. She takes the extra blanket at the end of the bed and covers her with it, then leaves.

Livvie and Annie are sitting at the kitchen table.
Annie is drinking a cup of coffee, while Livvie finishes off her homemade pie.
ANNIE
So, how's your car coming?
LIVVIE
Toby said he's still just trying to clean it out.
ANNIE
Cleaning it out?
LIVVIE
Yeah, they pulled it out of the river a few days ago, after that big rain.
ANNIE
You were caught in that? How'd you..
LIVVIE
Actually I was quite lucky some guy was driving on the same road as I was and he just happened to be there at the right place at the right time.
Annie Refills her coffee and brings Livvie a fresh cup.
ANNIE
Where were you?
LIVVIE
I think it was off 424?
ANNIE
424?
LIVVIE
I think that's right. think is not sure who the guy is. Not much of a talker. Got a temper though.
ANNIE
You don't know anything about him?
LIVVIE
Well, he drove a red pickup and the name on the mailbox was Addams. Besides that not really. I tried to look around, but I couldn't find anything. I think I was out for a day or two. When I was well enough he brought me to town and dropped me off at Toby's.
ANNIE
He just dropped you off and left you?
LIVVIE
Yeah. I wonder if Toby would tell me who he was?
ANNIE
Iím not sure thatís such a good idea, dear.
Annie picks up Livvieís plate, puts it in the sink.
LIVVIE
What do you mean?
ANNIE
Maybe you should just be grateful and leave it at that.
Livvie gives her a confused look.
Annie leaves her to herself.
INT. DINNER -- DAY
Livvie is taking care of one of the few customers.
Annie and Jake are behind the counter.
JAKE
You're sure it was him?
ANNIE
Who else could it be? That boy better had not just dropped her off like that.
JAKE
Annie...
ANNIE
Don't Annie me, Jake. That boy knows better.
JAKE
At least he didn't throw her out that night.
Annie hits Jake with the towel in her hand.
ANNIE
That's not funny.
JAKE
I'm just saying. It more than he's done in awhile, beside you can give him an earful when he calls on Sunday.
ANNIE
You better believe he'll get an earful, just dropping that poor girl off like that.

When does it pick up again?
ANNIE
Dinner, sweetie. Rest while you can.
INT. KITCHEN -- NIGHT

ANNIE
Yes, she's staying here...She's working at the dinner too.  Seems SOMEBODY just dropped her off at Toby's and left her there.
INT. HALLWAY -- NIGHT
Livvie comes down the stairs, turns to head into the kitchen when she hears Annie on the phone. The conversations is a tense one, she turns to go, but stops when she hears her name.
