FREDDY Right. So yeah. I heard there was this program where you get two days off your sentence for every day you fight wildfires which like, cool, but I didn’t want to leave LA because Cookie - that’s my girl - visits every weekend, but then I heard we get 5 bucks a day just for showing up? And if we’re actually on a fire, it’s an extra 2 bucks an hour. So that’s 53 bucks a day during fire season, so I can bank 3- 5K easy and me and Cookie can buy a truck when I’m out. BODE You talk a lot, Freddy. FREDDY It’s the ADD, bro. (re the drawing) I’m better looking than that.
Freddy grabs the notebook and jostles the guy in front of him, JULIO MEDINA (46, has 18 months left on a twenty year sentence. He’s determined not to fuck this up). FREDDY (CONT'D) Julio, that look like me? JULIO Nah. Your face is uglier. Freddy starts looking through the notebook. The drawings are surreal and beautiful. Freddy stops at one - it’s the same image we saw earlier of the car on fire. FREDDY Whoa. What’s this? BODE Gimme that. Bode reaches for it, but Freddy pulls away. JULIO We going to Middletown? Bode looks up startled to see the bus turning off at an exit to Middletown, California. CORY Looks that way doesn’t it?
