42.   CONTINUED:

      To this Jeff reacts by swerving the wheel to avoid the presumed
      drum and this stalls the car at the roadside.  For a LATER CUT
      Jeff turns back out of the rut and is about to take off again
      when he turns to Bob and asks:

           JEFF:

           Hey!  What's the moral to that story?

      Bob stifles a smile and gives out with some damn fool "punch
      line" to which Jeff reacts by slamming his hand against the
      wheel then starts off again.  For a FINAL CUT Bob reacts to
      O.S. impending crash and warns Jeff:

           BOB:

           Jump!

44.   EXT. CHASE SEQUENCE #2:  MEDIUM CLOSE  (INT. BACK OF TRUCK #9)
      Corey behind the steel drums fires at O.S. pursuing car.  He
      then finds that his gun is empty, pockets it, and glances at
      the drum that he is behind.  He pushes it off the truck.  For a
      LATER CUT he yells to Greg over the side of the truck.

           COREY:

           Greg!  Pull up at the top of the hill!
