WORKING TITLE: Driving with Leonardo DiCaprio
What is the strongest motivation for a person like Leonardo DiCaprio to let a young woman who could or could not be his biggest fan drive with him all night?
When I have an answer to this, then I have a story ...
Leonardo DiCaprio is a douchebag megalomaniac Hollywood movie star. He'd do anything to get a woman in his pants, including letting an intelligent but naive young woman who could or could not be his biggest fan drive with him all night.
Topical, but should be a comedy ...
WORKING TITLE: Tom Hanks and the Muslim Lady
The Climax
THE PLANE EXPERIENCES ENGINE FAILURE. THE CHIEF PILOT WARNS. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES ARE IN PLACE. TOM HANKS AND THE MUSLIM LADY ARE NOW IN A POSITION WITH THEIR ARMS HUGGING THEIR KNEES IN THEIR SEATS, INHALING IN SHORT BREATHS FROM THEIR BREATHING APPARATUS.
Tom Hanks: *with tears in his eyes* I don't wanna die ... not like this ...
Muslim Lady: *with a choke in her voice, but no tears* Me, too ...
TH: Can't your god do something about it?
ML: This is God doing something about it.
TH: What?! That we all die this way?
ML: No, that we remember the things in our past and ask for forgiveness.
TH RECALLS PHONE CONVERSATIONS WITH WIFE RITA WILSON. FLASHBACK SCENE.
TH: I'm sorry ... I'm sorry, Rita.
ML: Tell that to her when the plane lands.
TH: How the fuck do you know we're gonna survive?!
ML: Insya-Allah, which means God-willing.
TH LOOKS AT ML. AFTER A SHORT WHILE, HE PROFFERS HER A HAND. ML LOOKS AT THE PROFERRED HAND, THEN AT TH. AFTER A BRIEF MOMENT, ML TAKES TH'S HAND. THE PLANE TAKES A DIVE. THEY BOTH GRIP EACH OTHER'S HAND.
