B-MOVIE : Apocalypse now

Brit slams the window shut on Steph and Rod. The curtains would have slammed shut too, if they'd been able, but all she can manage is an angry rustle of cloth.

After getting dressed, she stalks out of the room and to the kitchen where the guys are eating breakfast. Seeing Meat sitting at the table, she stops dead and glares. "Can't you f***ing KNOCK, a******?"

Johnny's seen this attitude before - she was woken up before she was ready to get up, and that's always a bad thing.

Johnny looks at Brit and smiles, though the sadness he feels is showing through. “No, the rover is fried, as is the radio. We were thinking about walking into town; we might learn more there. Plus we most likely will be able to get a car to work there, if the gas station has fuses.” He takes a bite of food and then continues after he swallows. “But, if we can’t get a car to work, some of the farmers have horses, though slow, they will get us much further than walking.”
 

"Did someone say horses? Dude it'll be just like 'Planet of the Apes'!" says Rod as he wanders in. His hair is messed up, and his shirt is buttoned all wrong. Anyone with any sense would know that he smells like....well anyway, he and Stephanie enter back in through the house from different sides. That should throw someone off.

"Cool, who made eggs?" he says as he sits down and begins to scarf down anything that isn't meat or Meat). Funny, he never had an appetite like this before.
 

Steph walks in shortly after Rod, still brushing her hair into something that resembles order. She looks slightly dreamy. "Huh? Horses? I guess that would work. I'm sure Daddy will be here soon to get me anyhow," she says dismissively. "He knows where we are. Heck, he'll probably bring the helicopter!"

She sits heavily in an empty chair, reaching out for a plate full of bacon. "Rockin', bacon. I love this stuff. Thanks, Brian!"
 

Not wanting to burst her bubble, “Well that would be better than horses, but just in case its electronics are fried like the rovers, we might want to consider other possibilities.”
 

"Maybe there's a quick fix for the radio? It's fairly simple. I'd like to know more before we set out outside."
 


"Hey I once heard that you could use the silver packaging from inside a cigarette packet to replace fuses in an emergency. Don't know the truth of it but maybe we could try rigging up some fuses with some aluminum foil or gum wrappers or something?" Meat suggests, making sure that he doesn't become the target of Brit's fury again.
