## Dialogue

    Maya: [Driving with Ryan in Oregon] SO I'm thinking rustic, very, with Tudor-style steeples and a stone chimney right in the middle.
    Ryan: Yeah, totally. Like a witch's house. Where are you going to put your broomstick collection?
    Maya: How about the cage you're going to be sleeping in, 'cause you won't be sleeping with me? [Displays vulgar gesture]
    Maya: Hey, do you know what day it is today?
    Ryan: Today is the third day [Maya rolls eyes] of our three-day road trip across the country.
    Maya: Or our five-year anniversary.
    Ryan: Anniversary? I just picked you up in Chicago.
    Maya: Best 16 hours of your life.
    Ryan: [Chuckles] I love you. [They kiss and then an oncoming driver blares horn due to Ryan veering off lane] Shit! Shit! [Oncoming vehicle stops]
    Oncoming driver: [Driving past] Fuck off!
    Maya: [Driving into Venus, Oregon] What a cool little town.
    Ryan: Yeah, I'm starving. I could eat a whole fucking cow.
    Ryan: What?
    Maya: Just Debbie and Howard. [Turns phone around to Ryan] So cute.
    Ryan: Are you having FOMO about missing Howard's kiss-my-ass birthday extravaganza?
    Maya: Well, it is a kiss-my-ass birthday extravaganza in Greece, so yes.
    Ryan: Why be in Greece when you can be in Venus? [Maya chuckles]
    Ryan: [To Shelly taking their order] And do you have any vegetarian recommendations?
    Shelly: Annie? We got a vegetarian here.
    Annie: I like the Carol's salad. Hold the bacon.
    Ryan: So we'd have to spend the night?
    Ryan: Is there anywhere near to stay close by?
    Rudy: Well, the motel's closed for repairs but there's one of them internet houses
    Shelly: He means an Airbnb. There's an older guy, Joe Gressis, he rents it out sometimes.
    Rudy: Except during hunting season.
    Shelly: Yeah, Joe likes to hunt. He's there from August to December and he keeps it pretty nice.
    Maya: Okay.
    Ryan: No, no. This is a scam. I saw you watching us.
    Maya: Will you excuse us for one second, please? [Turns around with him] Ryan, what's wrong with you? These people aren't scamming us.
    Ryan: You just think this is a coincidence? The mechanic watched us going into that diner and then suddenly he's fixing our car that wasn't even broken.
    Maya: We literally almost got into, like, a car wreck like, an hour ago. Something might have gotten messed up, okay? Please stop being paranoid.
    Ryan: Please stop being naive.
    Maya: You know what Rudy? That sounds great. We appreciate it. Thanks.
    [Maya is lying in a ditch]
    Emergency dispatch: 911. What's your emergency?
    Maya: Hi, hi. We've been attacked. There are people trying to kill us. Please, please send the police immediately. Please!
    Emergency dispatch: Ma'am? Ma'am, I'm having trouble hearing you. Can you speak up?
    Maya: We've been attacked. The Airbnb in Venus. Please send help.
    Emergency dispatch: Where are you located? Do you have an address?
    Maya: Please. The Airbnb in Venus. Please. [Hears static and starts to get up waving around phone for reception] Shit.
    Emergency dispatch: Ma'am. Ma'am please stay with me.
    Maya: [Repeatedly] Please... [Discovers a decomposed corpse]
    Emergency dispatch: Ma'am, are you okay?
    Maya: [To Ryan waking up tied up in chair alongside also tied up Maya] Ryan, can you hear me? Ryan?
    Ryan: It's going to be okay.
    Maya: They got us. I'm so sorry.
    Ryan: No, no. No, it's not your fault. None of this is your fault. Okay? None. Marry me.
    Maya: What?
    Ryan: Will you marry me?
    Maya: Yes. Yes, of course. I love you.
    Ryan: I love you too. [They touch foreheads]
    Maya: What do you want? ANSWER ME! Why are you doing this to us?
