Movie description: "The Hitchhiker". SCENE opens on a car as it speeds down a desolate road. The sun is blazing. Classical music is blaring. Inside the car, Gloria and her husband, Markus, are driving home after a business meeting. From their attire, you can tell that the couple are successful, but things do not seem particularly harmonious in the car. Markus sits silently, gazing out the window, while Gloria obsessively dissects the potential deal they just negotiated. She turns off the stereo when it clear he isn't listening. 'The client is almost convinced,' she continues. 'He just needs a push. ' Markus says nothing. 'Maybe next time,' Gloria adds, glancing at him sideways. 'I should just go on my own! ' Again, her husband doesn't respond. Up ahead, they notice a teen girl standing on the side of the road. She has her thumb sticking out and a suitcase by her feet. Awkward and gangly, the girl seems very out of place, looking nervously at the car as it approaches. 'We should give her a ride,' Markus says suddenly, speaking for the first time. Gloria looks at him like he's crazy. 'Are you joking? ' She scoffs. 'You know we need to get home and work on this deal. We don't have time for this now! ' Markus takes a deep breath before turning to face his irritated wife. 'I want to give her a ride,' he says again sternly. Rolling her eyes, Gloria relents and pulls over. Markus rolls down his window and the nervous girl peers inside at them. 'Would you like to ride with us? ' He asks. She glances past him at Gloria, who is trying to conceal her irritation. 'It's ok sweetie,' she says. 'We're not going to bite. My husband just wants to give you a ride ... So please ... Get in if you're going to get in, ok?' The girl nods nervously and walks around to get in the backseat.A S she does this, Markus unbuckles his own seat belt and starts to get out of the car.' What are you doing?'
