INT. VIENNA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, ARRIVALS - MORNING

Unshaven HUNTER HAMILTON (20), with disheveled clothes and
tattooed arms, emerges from a sea of travelers arriving
through Customs.

Minimally packed, his luggage consists of a carry-on bag and
a guitar case.

Busy texting, he trips and somersaults over a luggage
trolley, landing on his back.

HUNTER
Sorry.

As he struggles to rise, SHIRLEY (30), an attractive flight
attendant, pinches his butt as she passes.

SHIRLEY
I hope you enjoyed your flight.

HUNTER
I most certainly did. I was
thanking you.

He holds up his phone.

SHIRLEY
Call me when you return to the
States.

HUNTER
Definitely.

ROD (O.S.)
(yelling)
Hunter.

Hunter spots ROD HAMILTON (49), dressed in business casual
attire and sneakers, welcoming him with open arms.

HUNTER
Hey, Dad.

Hunter's guitar blocks Rod's hug.

ROD
Welcome to Vienna. How was the
flight?

HUNTER
Great.

ROD
You look good.

Rod pulls up Hunter's eyelid to look into his eye.

HUNTER
I'm clean.

Rod kisses him on the cheek.

ROD
Good.

An attractive woman, HELGA (20's) passes.

HELGA
(German accent)
Bye, Hunter. Enjoy your stay.

HUNTER
I'll call you.

ROD
Who's that?

Hunter searches his phone for her name.

HUNTER
Helga. We met on the plane.

Rod notices an "eagle with spread wings" tattoo on Hunter's
right temple that covers an almost obvious oblong scar.

ROD
Another tattoo? Isn't it bad enough
you mutilated your arms? Now your
face?

HUNTER
Dad, I came to vacation, not to be
nagged.

ROD
You're right. It's just that it...
(pinches Hunter's cheeks)
...detracts from this beautiful
face.

HUNTER
It covers the scar and eliminates
questions.

ROD
Gotcha.

Hunter heads toward the exit.

ROD
Not so fast.

HUNTER
What's wrong?

ROD
Waiting for another flight.

Hunter gets suspicious.

HUNTER
Another flight?

Rod nods.

HUNTER
Jayden?

ROD
Yeah.

Hunter's attitude shifts.

HUNTER
You said it was going to be just
us.

ROD
I said just us guys. Your brother's
one of us guys.

HUNTER
That's debatable.

ROD
Don't start.

HUNTER
Why didn't you tell me he was going
to be here?

ROD
I thought your twin telepathy would
tell you.

HUNTER
How did you even get him on an
airplane?

ROD
Therapy and a lot of Xanax.

JAYDEN HAMILTON (20), Hunter's twin brother, moves through
the crowd, struggling to keep his excessive luggage on a
trolley. He wears latex gloves and a medical face mask.

Rod beckons him.

ROD
Jayden.

Jayden enthusiastically waves back.

Passengers curse at him as they pass. "Jerk", "Thanks a lot", "Asshole".

Rod crosses to Jayden. He pulls down Jayden's face mask to
kiss him on the cheek.

ROD
Rough flight?

JAYDEN
It was fine. Except for a crying
baby, and a yappy dog that wouldn't
shut the 'f' up.

A PASSENGER, dragging a toddler, smacks him with her purse as she passes.

PASSENGER
(to Jayden)
Next time, take a boat.

ROD
Panic attack?

Jayden shrugs "kind of".

A WOMAN, carrying a chihuahua, crosses. The dog yaps and
tries to jump out of her arms to attack Jayden.

WOMAN
I should have let him bite you.

Jayden's smile turns when he sees Hunter. They look identical except for Jayden's glasses and the slightly taller Hunter's
multiple tattoos.

JAYDEN
I didn't know he'd be here.

HUNTER
(to Rod)
Can we go now?

Rod takes Jayden's luggage cart. As they exit, Jayden removes the latex gloves and tosses them in a bin.



INT. VIENNA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT PARKING LOT - DAY

Rod, Hunter and Jayden silently walk through a mostly empty
section of the lot. Jayden applies sanitary lotion to his
hands.

HUNTER
Did you park in Germany?

They step up to a sparkling new pearl white Bentley
The Continental GTC Convertible that takes up two spaces to avoid being dinged.

Rod uses a fob to put down the red ragtop. The boys are in
awe, inspecting every element of the vehicle.

ROD
What do you think?

HUNTER
Can I drive it?

ROD
How many accidents have you had?

HUNTER
I don't know. A couple.

ROD
Try four. Do you think we got you a
separate insurance policy because
of your stellar driving record?

HUNTER
I haven't had one in over a year.

JAYDEN
That's because your license was
suspended for six months of it.
Would have been a year if...

HUNTER
No one wants to hear your flapping
gums.
(to Rod)
So why not? It's rented anyway.

ROD
Rented. Huh. I bought it. Do you
know how much that car costs?

HUNTER
As much as his tuition?

ROD
More. And we'd be paying for your
tuition, too, if you didn't drop
out.

JAYDEN
Four hundred and fifty thousand.

Hunter and Rod stare at him.

JAYDEN
What? The car, half a mil with
options.
(holds up his phone)
Google.

ROD
In the States, you'll pay double
that. I'm not gonna let those
scumbags gouge me. And it's
impossible to find the plug-in
version. So I bought it here.

JAYDEN
Why?

ROD
Your Mother has wanted a
convertible since we first met. Now
that she doesn't have to schlep you
guys around, she can enjoy it.
We're driving to Liverpool to have
it shipped home in time to surprise
her for her fiftieth birthday.

Rod carefully loads the luggage into the trunk.

ROD
Hop in.

HUNTER
I got shotgun.

JAYDEN
I got shotgun.

Both boys rush to the passenger door, body-checking each
other to get priority.



INT. WOMB - NIGHT

FLASHBACK. Twin male fetuses bounce around as contractions
slosh them back and forth.

As FETUS JAYDEN heads toward the birth canal, FETUS HUNTER
bumps him aside to take the primary position. Their jostling
turns into a sparring match.



INT. DELIVERY ROOM - SIMULTANEOUS - NIGHT

FLASHBACK. BEVERLY HAMILTON (29), breathes heavily and
pushes to eject her babies. Rod (30), holds her hand and
coaches her to the goal. A DOCTOR awaits with open hands
between the stirrups.

DOCTOR
Push.

ROD
Come on honey. Push. You can do
it.

BEVERLY
I'd like to see you push two
basketballs out your penis.

As Beverly contracts, she squeezes Rod's arm.

ROD
Owww. Owww. Owww. I told you to
cut your nails.



INT. WOMB - CONTINUOUS - NIGHT

FLASHBACK. Still sparring, Jayden uppercuts Hunter, then
proceeds to work his way into the canal.

As Jayden's head enters, Hunter grabs his foot and flings him back into the womb, then dives into the canal and shoots out.

Jayden spins around ending up with his butt at the entrance
of the canal and the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck.

PANIC SOUNDS emanate from the Delivery Room as the Doctor
works to get Jayden out. END FLASHBACK.



INT. VIENNA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT PARKING LOT - DAY

Jayden opens the door and pulls the seat forward. He gestures for Hunter to get in the back. Instead, Hunter shoves Jayden into the back, and quickly returns the front seat and sits in it.

Jayden knees the back of the seat.



EXT. VIENNA HIGHWAY - DAY

The Bentley glistens in the late afternoon sun as it glides
by the mountains.



INT. VIENNA HOTEL ROOM - DAY

The family enter a luxurious deluxe room. Jayden notes the
sleeping arrangements.

JAYDEN
There's only two beds.

ROD
It's all they had. You'll have to
share with your brother.

HUNTER
No way.

ROD
Would you rather sleep with me?

HUNTER
(referring to Jayden)
Can't you get it a cot?

JAYDEN
Get you a cot.

ROD
If you guys are going to bicker
this whole trip, I'm going to go
crazy. Can you boys please get
along while we're here?

JAYDEN
Just here, or every hotel?

ROD
I feel it happening.
(upward)
Insanity here I come.

JAYDEN
OK, I'll give it a shot.

Jayden pulls off the bedspread and covers the bed with a
sheet from his suitcase before lying down.

ROD
What about you?

HUNTER
What about me?

ROD
Can you get along with your
brother?

HUNTER
No promises.
