Tweener spoiler

[remo]

…the spinning wheels of DEBORAH JEAN BELL’S car. PAN UP to find TWEENER staring out the window; he look, understandably, both physically and emotionally weary. News radio babbles on in the background. DJB drives –- looks to Tweener –- it’s too quiet, too awkward; she breaks the silence with…

DEBORAH: So were you close to your grandfather?
TWEENER: (snapped from his daze) Who?
DEBORAH: Your grandfather.
TWEENER: Oh, yeah. Real close.
DEBORAH: How'd he die?

ANGLE ON: Tweener’s eyes as he looks out of the window and off into the distance and we…

FLASHBACK TO:

[From Episode 120] Westmoreland holding onto his stomach in the Infirmary, blood everywhere, dying. And we…

FLASHOUT TO:

INT. CAR – CONTINUOUS

Tweener still staring out the window, clearly haunted by the memories of Fox River.

TWEENER: Got stabbed. Got into a fight with this mean bastard and got stabbed.
DEBORAH: That's horrible.
TWEENER: Yeah, it was.

No more talking. The news radio is now more prominent.

REPORTER: …but the Iranian government promises to forge ahead with its nuclear program. In national news, four of the eight escaped convicts from Fox River Penitentiary in Illinois are still at large. Authorities are asking anyone with any information to contact -–

Tweener lunges toward the CD button –- presses it –- cutting off the news report. The first verses of a very chick-ish song begin to play. (For now, it’s Kelly Clarkson.)

DEBORAH: I was listening to that –-
TWEENER: -- I hate the news. You know –- yap, yap, yap… 'sides I want to hear this.
DEBORAH: (calling bull****) Really? You like Kelly Clarkson.

Tweener has to cover. A beat, then:

TWEENER: (trying to sell it) Yeah.

Not so convincing, so he starts to sing along; he's not really hitting the high notes if you know what I mean –- he'll do anything to keep the music on and the news turned off.

TWEENER (CONT’D): (getting the words wrong) Since you been gone, I can live for the first time, I’m sayin' so long, yeah, yeah.

DJB watches Tweener, laughs at this surprisingly charming mook that is somehow now in her life.

DEBORAH: You're getting the words totally wrong… and you're terrible.
TWEENER: Yeah, well I normally need a little tequila to get my karaoke on.

Deborah laughs. So does Tweener –- the first time since he can remember. It feels good to smile at this beautiful, sweet girl he’s getting to ride across America with. All is good until something changes in his face, the smile's gone.

TWEENER (CONT’D): (intense!) Yo, yo slow down!
DEBORAH: We’re doin’ 65 in a 60 –-
TWEENER: Slow down!
DEBORAH: (jeez) Alright mom.

PICK UP: Tweener’s POV –- on the other side of the highway is a patrol car with a radar gun pointed at them. Tweener’s eyes are zeroed in on the cop as they drive past. DJB sees the cop too. When they’re in the clear…

TWEENER: Tickets are two hundred bucks.

OFF DJB, eyeing up Tweener, not sure if she buys the explanation.

OMG - That sounds brilliant! Thanks for posting I can't wait to see it now

I really like it, Tweener ''deceased'' Grandpa, is actually Westmoreland, I really like the idea of that,

DEBORAH: Your grandfather.
TWEENER: Oh, yeah. Real close.
DEBORAH: How'd he die?

lol.. I can't wait to see their expressions on that episode.

What if Westmoreland really was his grandfather??? What a twist that would be, especially when it comes down to the money. Even tho he cant legally claim it. Should be interesting.

[disaster89]

Tweener and Westmoreland were cellmates so it makes sense that they might have formed some sort of father son bond considering their ages.

that sounds so good. thankyou

[laura-meraz_2007]

if their were cell mates and got close to one another than why did westmoreland told Michael and not tweener? until the very end... he could have told him in a cell and couldnt tell anyone else about it...

[TheSprostonGreener]

I think he trusted Michael and Tweener is just a daft kid.

[laura-meraz_2007]

he didnt sing the kelly clarkson song... damn... that would have been funny...
