Progress: This will be finish whenever I have my muse.

Scene Two
 
(Opening credits stop. Scene fades in. Camera shot of the car from above and then cut to everyone inside the car having a good time and laughing. )
 
Angela: Here, pop this cd in.
 
(Brennan reads the name of the band on the cd.)
 
Bones: The Beach Boys….who are they?
Angela (shocked): Honey, please tell me you’re kidding.
Angela: They’re like the second best band next to the Beatles. Just put it in.

(Brennan puts the cd in. The song “Fun Fun Fun” by the Beach Boys starts playing.)
 
“Well she got her daddy’s car
And she cruised through the hamburger stand now
Seems she forgot all about the library
Like she told her old man now
And with the radio blasting
Goes cruising just as fast as she can now
And she’ll have fun fun fun
til her daddy takes the t-bird away…..”
 
(Brennan starts drumming the beat of the music with her hands on the dashboard. Parker starts to speak up over the music.)
 
Parker: Who is this by auntie Angie?
Angela(playful): Booth, you are so depriving your kid. He doesn’t even know who the Beach Boys are.
 
(Booth doesn’t respond to that comment. Instead, he is keeping his eyes on the road. He’s
obviously nervous about something. Silence follows, the song is still playing. Zack is annoyed by this music.)
 
Zack: Will you please turn this music off? I’m trying to read here.
 
(Everyone looks at him weirdly. Booth looks at him for a second and then focuses back on the road.)
 
Jack: Dude! The point of a road trip is to relax and have fun.
Zack: Well, I would like to read.
 
(Jack gets annoyed and hits Zack’s book onto the floor. Music resumes. )
 
Jack: There, Just relax and enjoy the road mix.
 
(Jack lets out a big sigh of relief and turns to his side to go to sleep. Zack picks up his book and resumes reading, but is still annoyed by the music that he puts his book down and listens to his mp3 player. E.S. Posthumus is playing.)
 
Angela: What are you drawing there sweetie?
Parker: I’m drawing…..a dog.
Angela: What’s his name?
Parker: I don’t know….
Angela: I think you should name him Milky Way. No?
 
(Parker shakes his head horizontally back and forth)
 
Parker: No way!!
Angela: Why not? I think that’s a pretty good name for a beagle.

(Parker makes the same puzzle face that Booth made in the end of the “Pilot” episode of “Bones”)
 
Parker: A beagle?
 
(Angela and Brennan chuckle at this. Booth notices this.)
 
Booth: What’s so funny?
Angela: Like father, like son.
Booth: What….??
Bones: I think you past the camping grounds.
Booth: I know what I’m doing and don’t back-seat drive.
Bones: I’m not back-seat driving. I’m in the front.
 
(Booth mutters something under his breath.)
 
Bones: What?
Booth: Nothing.
 
(Brennan touches the GPS system)
 
Booth (frustrated): Don’t touch that. In fact, don’t mess up anything in my car.
Bones: What…..? I just want to know if we past it or not.
Booth: We’re not going to get lost.
Bones: How do you know?
Booth(annoyed): Will you just trust me here Bones?
 
(Jack is tossing and turning on both sides.)
 
Jack: Will both of you please stop fighting? I’m trying to get some sleep here!
Booth(angrily): Fine with me.
 
(The rest of the car trip was in total silence until they finally arrived to their destination. Camera-shot above from the car up to the sky and then descends back down slowly showing the bright green Douglas- fir trees and the camping grounds. Scene fades out. Cue the Commercials.)
