Walking with sirens in and out in the distance ~
Scott - "What about you ? Why the Hell are you still here if it's all a lost cause."
Roger - "Didn't say that. I said you are. I just like driving the bus."
Scott - "Bullshit. That's not why. But also yeah she's a sweet ride. Tell the truth. You love this shit."
Roger - "I love getting this shit done. Who else is stupid enough, like you say but ... "
Scott - "Mm-hm. Just say it."
Roger - A sigh ... "Yeah it's for the hippies. They're like an adorable pile of occasionally sexy kittens with infinite weed."
Scott - "Serious weed magnets."
Roger - "Mm-hm. And there's also Marsha."
Scott - "There is definitely Marsha."

The Beast leads the pursuit through a parking garage, screaming hippies piing to sides with each turn to a laughing Marsha. She watches them in the rear view, an evil look and a grin before a hard turn, screams ...
____
Scott - "But that's not why and I already know the truth. Thanks man. You too."
...
Roger - "You're welcome." Eying the passing fast food, "Burger ?"
Scott - "Burger."
While Marsha drives through the morning suburbs, lawns watered and mowed, smoke pouring, police in tail. Two cops at the end of the road ~
One - Puts up a hand to 'halt' while the other rolls out the wheel spikes, the bus's entourage approaching. "They'll stop."
The bus guns ...
One - "Or ... " He looks around the suburb ... a lady looks up from her gardening at the blaring sound mixed with screams and smoke. "Or this could go a lot of ways." Others walk out of their house to see as the first cop firms his stance.
The bus tires roll over unharmed. "Whooo !"
Two - "Huh. Heard of those. ... Oh fuck." The first police car's tires blow, swerving as the pile up begins ... the police choppers follow while the news remains to film.

Police helos fly over a quiet city street, bus missed in the alley as it creeps out the other way.
Marsha - Talking over her shoulder while driving, "We're gonna have to hit some races soon or we're all out of gas. There's a hose."
Hippies in a wide eyed pile ...
________
Roger - "What's the plan then ?"
Scott - "We try diplomacy first."
Roger - "Right, because that always works."
Scott - "But then we don't need to feel bad."
Roger - "Was I supposed to ?"
Scott - "Sociopath."
Roger - "Amiable sociopath, to you."
Scott - "Just saying."
Roger - "Fucking corpse."
...
Roger - " 'Just saying' , you're an undead motherfucker."
Scott - "And what kind of man would choose to hang around an undead motherfucker, but a goddamn sociopath."
...
Roger - "Touche. How's the pulse ?"
Scott - "Pulse is fine. We're almost there." Walks faster.
Roger grows serious as he watches him step ahead, many thoughts behind his eyes. He catches up.
