Impulse II

A family of three makes their up a snowy canyon to their cabin. The roads are slick and the snow is coming down hard. The dad is driving as if it’s a clear sunny day, the pregnant mother is sitting in the front worried sick that they’re going to crash. Their five year old son sits in the back watching a movie. Suddenly, the car starts to slide a little…

                                     

Mom: You need to slow down! You’re going to kill all of us!

Dad: Settle down we’ll be fine, I’ve been driving in this all my life.

Mom: Don’t tell me to settle down, you settle down your driving!

Dad: We’ll be fine we’re almost there. Just a few more minutes.

Mom: It’s not a matter of when we get there, it’s IF we get there.

Dad: Oh please. We’ll get there.

Mom: Why are you so stubborn? Would it hurt to slow down just a little?

Dad: I’m not the stubborn one! Yes, it would hurt.

Mom: Well suck it up and slow down!

Dad: You know, you’re the one that’s going to make me crash unless you stop bothering me. I need to pay attention.

Mom: No kidding, and go slower.

(car slides a little again.)

Mom: Slow down!

Dad: What?

Mom: Go slower!

Dad: (laughing) faster??

Mom: You’re pathetic.

Silence….

Mom: If you’re not going to slow down, you let me out and I’m walking the rest of the way.

Dad: (takes his eyes off the road and looks at her in disbelief)

(car slides off the road)

Dad: (after they’re stuck on the side of the road) see I told you that you were going to distract me!
