Randy:
I like your writing style - it pops.
One nitty issue:
Quoted Text
The three Texans, BOBBY, JOE, AND DEAN are inside. Bobby is behind the wheel, Joe is riding shotgun, and Dean is in the backseat smoking a joint. All three are mid-20s rednecks.
The Bobby is, Dean is approach is a little inefficient. Lose the "is". Something like:
BOBBY at the wheel. JOE rides shotgun. Dean in the backseat smoking a joint. Three Texan rednecks (mid-20s).
An a story suggestion. I think the ending would have more pop if the kids from the restaurant walk by the police cruiser as our villains are being cuffed - flash then some of them own money.
