THE PITCH

Eric (the assistant manager at the local grocery store) thinks it will be hilarious to play a harmless prank on Todd (a mentally disabled janitor) and wants his buddy and co-worker, Ricco, to help with the prank. Ricco is against it, at first, but it doesn't take much until he's talked into playing along. THE PRANK: Eric tells Todd that the new attractive cashier, DALLAS, told him that she has a secret crush on him. And that one night after work he should walk her out to her car and kiss her goodnight. Todd has every reason to believe Eric and Ricco, after all he Ricco and Eric have always been good friends and Dallas has always treated him very nice. Eric also tells Todd that Dallas might reject the kiss a few times but it's only because she's afraid that he will break her heart, so he needs to keep trying until she kisses him back.

The night comes when Todd walks Dallas out to her car. But things don't go as planned. When he goes in for the kiss, he's rejected as expected. So he does what he was told to do and he keeps trying. With each try Todd becomes more aggressive and more physical until Dallas is terrified and is forced to slap him to try and get away. Todd’s INTANTLY retaliates with his fist and strikes her in the face and knocking her on her back, half unconscious. As he looks at her on the ground, he knows that he has made a mistake and that he's in trouble. So he runs off.

As Dallas struggles to get up we hear Todd walk back to her and when we see him, he's holding a giant slab of concrete above her head. He thrusts it down on her skull and crushes her head.

The following day Eric shows up to work to find the parking lot taped off with dozens of police officers investigating and interviewing neighbors. When Eric and Ricco learn of the murder, they know that they MUST find Todd before the police find him. If the police find Todd first they know that THEY will be charged with the murder.

But when they find Todd, what are they going to do?... Tell him a story and trust that he will go along with it? Tell him the truth?...Kill him?...or maybe even get paranoid that one of them is going to rat the other one out and kill each other....
