Timeline

Eddie drives his ’82 Toyota pickup and Kelley her ’99 Toyota Camry with Gordon the dog, all of their belongings, and 8 chickens in tow.

Eddie’s truck breaks down in White Springs, Florida. Kelley and Eddie stay the night in the grass off the interchange.

Kelley and Eddie call Dennis’s Garage in the morning. The truck gets towed to Reese’s Auto Repair in Live Oak, and Kelley and Eddie follow in Kelley’s car.

Kelley and Eddie eat lunch at Armando’s Mexican Bar & Grill. Kelley and Eddie discuss where to find a place for their chickens to stay while the truck is being repaired.

Kelley and Eddie go to Reese’s Auto and are outside hanging out. Eddie claims that the manager of Armando’s, Laz, sees them and stops to offer for their chickens to stay at a coop on his property. 

According to Laz, he and his employee, Alfredo, were at Live Oak Sub Shop eating lunch when they overheard Kelley asking an employee about helping her find a place to put the chickens. They jumped into the conversation and Alfredo offered one of his coops located in O’Brien, FL.

Kelley and Eddie load the chickens into the back of Laz’s truck and follow them to Alfredo’s property in Kelley’s car. They put the chickens into Alfredo’s coop and return to Reese’s Auto.

Kelley and Eddie drive to the Cypress Inn in Lake City, Florida and stay the night.

Kelley and Eddie have breakfast at Waffle House.

Kelley and Eddie return to Live Oak to check on the progress with the truck. The truck wasn’t yet fixed, so they returned to Alfredo’s in O’Brien, FL to check on the chickens.

They return to Live Oak only to find that the truck was deemed unfixable by Reese’s Auto.

Kelley and Eddie buy a tent at a thrift store in Live Oak, then camp on Alfredo’s property in O’Brien.

Kelley and Eddie go to St. Augustine while waiting for the truck repair. They had fun on the beach with the dog, Gordon.

They camped at Anastasia State Park for the night.

Kelley and Eddie find out the next morning that they need to find a replacement transmission for themselves. They call around and find out that the only transmission in Florida for an ’82 Toyota is in Lakeland, FL.

They drive to Lakeland.

Kelley and Eddie bring the transmission to Reese’s but they were closed, so they left the transmission on the ground by the truck.

They returned to O’Brien and camped at Alfredo’s again.

Kelley and Eddie bring the transmission to Reese’s but they were closed, so they left the transmission on the ground by the truck.

They returned to O’Brien and camped at Alfredo’s again.

Kelley and Eddie pack up the chickens. Laz helps them bring the chickens to Reese’s with his truck.

Kelley and Eddie find out that the transmission had been inventoried wrong and won’t work in Eddie’s truck. They’re issued a refund over the phone.

Kelley wants to have the truck towed to Detroit, or wants to just go so they can get back on the road. Eddie persuades her to “give it one more night.” They decide to get a motel room at the Sunshine Inn.

One of the mechanics at Reese’s helps Kelley and Eddie bring the chickens to the Sunshine Inn with his truck. They follow him there in Kelley’s car. Eddie has said that he never got any names of the mechanics they spoke to at Reese’s, including the one who helped with the chickens.

The mechanic and Kelley pull over to the side of the Sunshine Inn in an effort to keep the chickens from being seen by the motel staff. They were hiding the chickens because they knew the motel staff wouldn’t want them around, and because Eddie says they had to convince the motel to let them stay there with their dog. Eddie says their plan was to “sneak the chickens in.”

Eddie goes to the motel office to pay for the room with Kelley’s money. 

Eddie returns from the motel office. Kelley and the mechanic were supposed to bring the chickens around the side of the motel, but when Eddie got back, they were still in the back of the truck.

Eddie gets mad that the chickens hadn’t been moved.

At some point during this argument he has said that he threw his hat on the ground in anger.

Eddie and Kelley get the chickens out of the truck. Kelley wants to take the chickens upstairs into their room, and Eddie says it’s “a dumb idea” and wants to leave them outside in the grass.

They argue.

Kelley convinces Eddie to bring the chickens inside. Eddie gets angrier as they carry the kennel up the stairs to room 70.

Eddie yells at Kelley, saying “I’m sick of your stupid shit that you wanna do.”

Kelley gets mad and leaves. She drives her car into town. 

Around 6pm, Eddie brings the chickens over into the corner of the motel room and lays on one of the beds. Gordon the dog is also sitting on one of the beds. 

Kelley puts the pizza and wine she got on the counter in the room, then lays on the opposite bed from Eddie.

Eddie goes to lay on the other bed with Kelley and gives her a hug. Kelley says “you know, I could have just gone back to New York by myself.” Eddie pats her on the back and says “you go to New York, then,” then lays back on the other bed.

Kelley gets up, grabs the pizza and wine, and leaves the room to sit in her car. Eddie says “bye, cunt” as she walks out.

“Ten minutes later”, Eddie gets up and goes outside to try to get some pizza.

Kelley sees Eddie coming down the stairs and drives away.

Eddie says the chickens were starting to smell, so he knocks on JR’s door, who is the motel neighbor. Eddie asks JR if he will help Eddie bring the chickens down the stairs.

Eddie and JR let the chickens out on the grassy area at the bottom of the stairs

Kelley returns “a half hour later or whatever,” and sees Eddie with the chickens. Kelley walks over and gives Eddie a hug. Eddie claims they “were good” at that point because Kelley saw him with the chickens and loves animals.

Eddie and Kelley attempt to put the chickens back into the kennel. They get five of them in, but can’t get the last three. Eddie says they should leave them outside but Kelley wants to keep trying. Eddie gets frustrated, says “good luck!” and goes back to lay down in their room. Kelley is still outside.

Around 10:30pm, the motel neighbor, JR, knocks on Eddie’s door and says Kelley wants to drive. He encourages Eddie to come out and take Kelley’s keys.

Eddie comes outside, approaches Kelley (who’s sitting at the bottom of the stairs), takes her keys, and says “you can’t drive.” Kelley gets upset. Eddie returns to the motel room.

No one has heard from Kelley since.

Eddie wakes up the next morning alone.

At 8:03am, Eddie calls Kelley, a credit union, and several car parts/auto places.

Eddie assumes Kelley had slept in her car or in the grass. He sees that she isn’t in the car and “immediately starts panicking.”
