          INT. CRAIG'S CAR ON DINOSAUR HIGHWAY

          CRAIG and TODD carpool to work.  Craig is driving, Todd's
          neck is awkwardly bent to fit in the car.  They're drinking
          coffee and listening to conservative talk radio.

                              RADIO HOST
                         And what about these
                         omnivores.  You either eat
                         meat or you don't.  Every
                         red-blooded carnivore knows-

                              TODD
                    Can you turn this off?  I don't
                    agree with his opinions.

          Craig turns off the radio.  He looks up and brakes.

                              CRAIG
                    Well that's just great.  The
                    freeway is totally gridlocked.

                              TODD
                    It's bumper-to-bumper.  We
                    should've gotten on I-95.

                              CRAIG
                    Hindsight is 20/20.

          Todd sticks his head out the window to look.

                              TODD
                    Must've been an accident.  I hope
                    everyone has insurance.

                              CRAIG
                    It's probably just rubbernecking.

          Todd sheepishly pulls his head back in the window.

                              CRAIG
                    We're definitely gonna be late. 
                    I'm calling the boss.

                              TODD
                    I'll do it.  It's illegal to use a
                    cell phone while operating a motor
                    vehicle.

          Todd takes out a cell phone and dials.

          CUT TO:  TERRY'S OFFICE.  Terry's desk phone rings.  He
          reaches for it several times, but his T-Rex arms are too
          short.

          BACK TO: Craig and Todd in the car.

                              TODD
                    No answer.  I'd email him, but I
                    don't own a smart phone.

                              CRAIG
                         (turning to Todd)
                    I hope he doesn't make us use a
                    personal day.

          They bump into the car in front of them.

                              CRAIG
                    Uggg.  A fender bender.  Can this
                    commute get any worse?

          A monstrous SPINOSAURUS gets out of the car in front of them
          and roars.  He picks up Craig and Todd's car with his mouth.

          In CLIMACTIC 3D, the Spinosaurus bashes the car into the
          ground, throws it, and generally tries to tear it up.

                              TODD
                    Talk about road rage.

          Craig rolls down his window as the mayhem continues.

                              CRAIG
                    We should exchange information.

          END.
