The back seat driver.

The boulevard in Seaside Heights is empty and dark as John and Patty walk up to Adjin's car....sitting in the middle of the street.

John to Adjin

'Soooo, what's new?'

Ajdin

'shut up...help me and push.'

Patty

'we'll push.'

Adjin gets out of the car.

'I'll push, Patty you steer.'

John and Adjin begin to push and the car starts to get up speed...until Patty puts on the brakes. Adjin almost falls over the trunk. He goes to ask Patty why she put the brakes on and John stops him.

John

'No...let me ask. You've gotta be ....you know...sensitive...diplomatic with her.'

John walks up to the driver's side window.

'Patty, what the hell?'

Patty

' I feel like this front seat is gonna fall back. And there's no freak'n back seat.'

John

'Just steer and when we get up speed ...turn it on.'

John and Adjin push and the car gets up a little speed. Patty turns the ignition and the car starts. The guys stop pushing, stand and cheer. Then they chase the car as the driver's seat gives way and Patty falls back into the back seat. The car looks like a ghost car as it goes across Lafayette Street, driverless...... and parks perfectly against the curb. Adjin opens the back door and lifts Patty and the driver's seat back in place. He puts the brick back under the driver's seat that keeps it upright.

Adjin

'You o.k.? That almost never happens.'

Patty jumps out laughing. Within seconds a police car rounds the corner with a spotlight on.

Officer Mike

'What's up guys?'

Adjin

'Nothing. Same ole same ole.'

Officer Mike

'You guys seen anything suspicious?'

Patty and John

'No Officer Mike.'

Officer Mike

'Well, you know it's off season. Us townies have to keep Seaside Heights safe.'

Adjin

'We're on it.'

Officer Mike shines a light on the car.

'Good, good. Adjin, that's an awful lot of American flags on your car.'

John

'Everytime there's 9/11 he puts new one's up.'

Officer Mike

'Oh, to remember.'

John

'No. To forget he's a Muslim...American.'

Adjin

'Shut up.'

Patty

'It's true. And we don't put flags up to prove we're American to anyone. He shouldn't either.'

Officer Mike, as he drives off.

'No let him. That's a good thing.'

John

'See the kinda person you please with all the flags?'

Adjin

'I know. Right?'

John looks at the Lafayette Street sign.

'Think he knows about Lafayette?'

Patty

'Yeah, it's a street.'
