(crickets chirping) - Look, I just don't want
to deal with this right now. I'm tired and I want
to go home, okay? I just wanna go to McDonald's. Whoa, wait, hey, whoa. We're not done, where you going? - I just really have to pee.
- Oh, oh, do you? That's a shock,
Adrienne does whatever she wants when she
wants to, fantastic. I'm so happy I took you to
my boss's house where you, oh yeah, did what you wanted and made an ass out of
yourself and out of me. - Look, I told you, I have no idea what
you
're talking about. - It was a work party,
Adrienne, a work party. It was not some bar full of
cute boys for you to flirt with. You were meant to behave. - Behave? How was I not behaving myself? - Well for one thing, you
would not stop talking. We all had to be polite to you. I mean, no one
cares about the fact that you are saving
up money at Sephora until you can enroll in an
MFA program, literally no one. And the second thing, how about you were acting
like a fucking slut? - Wow. - You were sip
ping my boss'
son's drink for fuck's sake. - Because he was the bartender. He wanted me to try a
new drink he invented. He actually offered you one too. (Heston groans) Okay, how about we? Yeah. This is silly, okay? Let's just-
- You are so selfish. - I'm selfish?
- Yeah, yeah. - Wow, so I'm the
perfect girlfriend in the world when we're
alone but when I so much as look at anyone who's not
you, I'm a fucking cunt? No, I didn't mean that. Heston, I'm sorry. Where, where are you going? Can you at
least give
me my key, please? I left it in your pocket. It couldn't fit in
my stupid purse. Okay Heston, how about we just forget this whole
argument happened, okay? Maybe we're both hungry and we can just go
get something to eat? I'm actually starving, I didn't
eat anything the entire time because I didn't wanna get
food stuck between my teeth. - I'm nice when
you need me, right? Because you do need me. You don't have a car. You lost your bus pass and now you want me to buy
you a late night sna
ck? (Heston chuckles) - Are you serious? - You are so selfish. (car engine rumbles) - Wait, you're just
gonna leave me here? - [Heston] Yeah. (somber electronic music) (scooter rattles) - [Adrienne] Woo! (oil sizzling) (crickets chirping) (soft piano, violin music) (van engine rumbles) - [Nicky] Shut the door, Bryan. I had a blue scooter. (metallic thuds) - That can't be the van. None of my business. (metallic thuds) (anxious electronic music) Oh shit, oh my god. Are you okay? Wait, wait. Locked
, fuck, fuck. It's locked. Okay, you need to be quiet or you're gonna
get us both caught. One sec. (tense violin music) Damn. - What are you doing? - I, um, I was, um, um- - What are you doing? - I thought I dropped
my phone around here. - The one that's in your hand? - Yeah, found it. - You from around here? - Yeah, yeah, my boyfriend
and I live up the road. - [Bryan] Your
scooter's awesome. - Where is he? He lets you ride here in
the middle of the night? - No, I was actually
using that scooter
which- - It's really great.
- Yeah. I'll be needing it back though. - So what were you
doing by my van? - I just was-
- Nicky, the van, it's open. - What did you do? - I can ask you the same thing. - You don't understand
what you have done. - What I've done? - Oh, oh, she's not here. - Grab your gear.
- She's gone. - She's a demon. - What the fuck does that
mean, you Jesus freak? - Get the keys and the net too. - Got it.
- What, she wasn't a good enough Christian for you? Lord knows we're
all g
oing to hell if we're not virgins or
we do whatever a man says. I'm calling the cops. - I'd rather you not.
- Hey! Are you kidding me? (Adrienne grunts) Shit.
- Do you have the bat? - Look, she's a goddamn demon. - [Wilson] Look out!
(coughs, sputters) (demon screeches) (tense violin music) (demon roars) (blood squelches) (demon roars) (tense drumbeat) (alternative rock music) - This is all your fault! (Adrienne screams) (demon roars) - You bitch. (demon screeches) (Nicky pants) Forgive me, Fath
er. (demon roars) (blood squelches) (tense violin music) (footsteps crunching) (keys clink) (anxious electronic music) - Yo. Adrienne, where the
hell have you been? I've been calling you. I've been looking for
you for like two hours. How do you think
that makes me feel? - How you feel? - I mean, yeah. (demon growls) - Heston, stop talking. - [Heston] Oh, you want
me to stop talking? Who the hell do
you think you are? (demon growls) - Stop talking
right now, Heston. - No, no, no.
- Just- - You th
ink that you
are better than me? You are a silly little girl who works in the fucking
mall, for Christ's sake. - Stop! Stop talking! Look, I don't know
what I ever saw in you but you're not worth it. - Are you dumping me right now? - Yeah. Yeah, I am. Go home, Heston. (Heston scoffs) (tires screech)
- Fuck you! (anxious electronic music) (mid tempo electronic music) (crickets chirping)
Comments
Hey, I’m the writer and director and would love to answer any questions you have about the film! I’m so excited to be back on ALTER with ‘Scooter’ - you might have seen ‘Lucy’s Tale’ a few years back. Big thank you to the cast and crew and to the folks at ALTER for supporting ‘Scooter’. Happy watching!
Hi there! I’m the producer of 'Scooter', and I'm thrilled to reconnect with the Alter community for another short film. Thanks for watching! Feel free to ask any questions, like how much fried chicken we had to devour to secure that location!
The beginning was so... familiar. Very accurate. Good job on this! ❤
The first couple of minutes sure give me flashbacks 😟 This short movie is good!👍🏻
Superb! The acting was top notch. Loved the two young actresses. Her bf was such a narcissistic jerk. Well he’s about to find out how to treat a lady like a lady, and not some side piece! Great work!! Well done to all!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The back windows being up with the top down is the most monstrous thing in this video
..fabulous..!! Story, dialogue, actors, camera work..fabulous..!! 🤌💪🥰
Bad ass short, that dude had coming... Alter you have some wicked shorts and I love your style...
Seriously was in a 3 year relationship with 1 of those. Literally felt like they played out a page in my diary. Proud of her
Outstanding film!!! My only beef is that the jerk in the convertible didn’t get ripped to shreds.
😮 👍🏽🤗🥳 so good!!! Ty 2 all involved in making this short🍾🥂
Magnificent film, interesting message, and delicious gore 😊 thank you guys so much!!! Any plans for a part 2?
I enjoyed it. Wish it was a tad longer.. thumbs up. I watched late at nite. Made me hungry that i looked up the red rooster.. good job writer
This movie triggered the fuck out of me within 40 seconds . It gave me all the feels, rage, anxiety, suspense and intense gratification when she dumped his ass!
Great film..would love to see more of your work😊😊😊😊
Well done! Short and sweet, and all the little ducks in a row.
This actress is so wonderful, absolute excellent in every scene and every emotion.... the story and the meaning were fabolous too!
Superbly done. Very engrossing.
This is amazing! So proud of you Chels!
Great job didn’t see the twist coming
