EPISODE 101 - "PAUL"

ACT ONE

FADE IN:

1 INT. JANITOR’S CLOSET - 7:45 A.M.

7:45

A large, black BOX is on the floor of the closet. Colored

WIRES sprawl out of the box. A set of HANDS connects

various wires.

7:46

The final wires are connected, and a small TIMER in the

center of the box flips on. It reads: 8:45.

We ZOOM OUT to reveal the hands’ owner, a fifteen-year-old

high school student named PAUL: medium height, with a medium

build and medium-length hair. He is dressed in cargo pants

and a gray jacket.

PAUL

(quietly)

8:45.

He STANDS from where he was kneeling and OPENS the door.

2 INT. WEST HALLWAY - CONT.

7:47

Paul STEPS OUT of the closet and SHUTS the door. We trail

him as he WALKS east through the hallway. Many people are

walking through the hallway or stopped at a locker, but it

is not particularly crowded yet.

7:48

He passes by a group of FOOTBALL PLAYERS (ep. 104). They

SNICKER at him. Paul does not turn and continues to WALK.

He passes a DOOR with PIANO MUSIC coming from it (ep.

103). The music suddenly STOPS. Paul continues to WALK.

7:49

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: (2) 2.

He now passes by a group of CHEERLEADERS (ep. 106). One

cheerleader WHISPERS something as Paul passes, and they

GIGGLE meanly at him. Another adds something and they

GIGGLE louder.

Paul approaches a BATHROOM and enters.

3 INT. WEST BOY’S BATHROOM - CONT.

7:50

The bathroom is empty. Paul approaches a URINAL and begins

to USE it.

As people pass the bathroom door off-screen, isolated

SNIPPETS of CONVERSATION can be heard.

A BOY in a football uniform enters the bathroom (ep.

104). This is MATT: very tall, handsome, and of medium

build.

7:51

Matt begins to remove his UNIFORM.

Paul finishes and ZIPS his pants. He turns around to the

SINK and begins to wash his hands. He uses SOAP.

At first, he slowly RUBS his hands together. He begins to

go faster. Soon, he’s using an incredible amount of FORCE.

MATT

Jesus, calm down!

7:52

At this point, Matt has removed his uniform and is PULLING

on a SWEATSHIRT.

Paul SHUTS the water OFF and EXITS the bathroom without

saying a word or drying his hands.


7:53

As he STEPS out of the bathroom, a GIRL passes by, heading

east (ep. 103). This is KARA: short, cute, and somewhat

heavy (with large breasts). She STOPS at a DRINKING

FOUNTAIN across the hall. She BENDS over and DRINKS.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: (2) 3.

Paul stays in the bathroom’s entryway, STARING at Kara (and

her butt).

From behind him, Matt EXITS the bathroom and PUSHES past

Paul to get out. Matt walks to the middle of the hall,

where a CHEERLEADER stands WAITING (ep. 106). This is

AMANDA: medium height and skinny, with long blonde

hair. Matt WRAPS his arm around her and they begin to walk

east.

MATT

(now distant)

Waiting long?

7:54

Kara is done drinking, and she STRAIGHTENS herself and

begins to WALK east. A few seconds later, Paul too begins

WALKING east.

Paul passes the GYM (ep. 104, 105, 108). Inside, the

BASKETBALL TEAM is practicing.

5 INT. EAST HALLWAY - CONT.

7:55

Paul continues to WALK. Paul is walking slightly FASTER

than Kara, who is on the other side of the hall still. The

distance between them lessens.

7:56

Paul continues to WALK, passing Kara. Ahead of him, Matt

and Amanda enter a CLASSROOM (ep. 104, 106).

Paul passes the LIBRARY (ep. 102, 103, 107) and another BOY

(Sid, ep. 107).

7:57

Paul passes another set of BATHROOMS (ep. 107). He passes

the open DOORS leading to the CAFETERIA (ep. 103, 108).

6 INT. ENTRANCE FOYER - CONT.

7:58

Paul passes the shut double DOORS leading to the

brightly-lit and crowded SCHOOL OFFICE (ep. 102, 105, 108).

4.

He makes his way to another set of DOORS, leading

outside. He OPENS one and walks out.

7 EXT. PATH - CONT.

7:59

Paul WALKS down the PATH leading away from the school. In

the distance, a BOY is walking quickly from the PARKING LOT

toward Paul and the school (ep. 102). This is AUSTIN: tall

and lanky, with hair in his eyes and a brightly colored

t-shirt and jeans. He gets nearer.

8:00

The school BELL RINGS. Austin SPEEDS UP, now late. Paul

continues walking to the parking lot and street. They PASS.

From behind him, we hear Austin TALK.

AUSTIN (O.S.)

Hey, Emily.

EMILY (O.S.)

(friendly)

Hi. Better hurry, or you’ll be

late.

8:01

AUSTIN (O.S.)

Yeah, I know. See you soon.

EMILY (O.S.)

You will, I promise.

Throughout this CONVERSATION, Paul has continued walking

away from the speakers and the school. We have still been

TRAILING him.

Emily (ep. 108) RUNS to catch up with Paul. We see her for

the first time. She’s fairly tall, skinny, and stunningly

beautiful.

EMILY

Hey, Paul.

PAUL

Hello.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: (2) 5.

EMILY

You ready for this?

8:02

We STOP moving, but Emily and Paul continue to WALK to the

street. Either Paul doesn’t answer, or we can no longer

hear him.

END OF ACT ONE.

ACT TWO

FADE IN:

8 INT. PAUL’S HOUSE - 8:11 A.M.

8:11

The front door OPENS and Paul and Emily ENTER the house.

EMILY

I need to use the bathroom for a

second.

Emily CLIMBS a nearby STAIRCASE. Paul heads into the

KITCHEN.

9 INT. KITCHEN - CONT.

8:12

Paul opens the FRIDGE and removes a CHEESE STICK. He

UNWRAPS it, drops the WRAPPER on the floor, and begins to

EAT.

8:13

Paul STANDS in the kitchen as he eats his cheese

stick. Once he has eaten it all, he FILLS a CUP with water

from the SINK. He DRINKS it and sets it on the COUNTER.

Paul EXITS the kitchen.

10 INT. STAIRCASE - CONT.

8:14

Paul CLIMBS the staircase slowly. He STARES briefly at a

framed PHOTO of his family. He reaches the top step.

6.

11 INT. UPSTAIRS HALLWAY - CONT.

Paul steps off the STAIRCASE and enters a door.

12 INT. PAUL’S BEDROOM - CONT.

8:15

Paul enters. His bedroom is sparse, with empty walls and

little FURNITURE. Paul SITS on his BED and WAITS quietly.

8:16

Emily enters and SITS beside Paul, STARING at him. Paul

TURNS his head and STARES into Emily. They STARE.

8:17

Paul BREAKS his gaze, reaching under his bed. His arms come

out with three GUNS: a RIFLE, a SHOTGUN, and a HANDGUN.

PAUL

I’ve got the guns.

Emily TOUCHES them carefully. Paul HANDS her the RIFLE.

EMILY

They’re loaded?

PAUL

Yeah. I checked this morning.

Emily NODS, considering.

EMILY

Do you want to take the rifle? I’m

no good with them.

8:18

Paul and Emily SWITCH guns. Paul has the RIFLE; Emily has

the SHOTGUN and HANDGUN. Emily STANDS.

EMILY (cont’d)

All right. Let’s do this.

END OF ACT TWO.

ACT THREE

FADE IN:

7.

13 EXT. PATH - 8:27 A.M.

8:27

Paul and Emily, their GUNS in hand, WALK down the path to

the school. In the distance, Austin is there once again,

this time walking AWAY from the school.

8:28

Austin gets nearer.

AUSTIN

What are you two doing?

They all continue to WALK towards each other. Paul LIFTS his

rifle.

AUSTIN (cont’d)

Emily, what’s going on? Emily?

A SHOT rings out. Austin DROPS, instantly dead.

Paul LOWERS his rifle. He and Emily walk AROUND the dead

body and continue toward the school.

8:29

They APPROACH the doors. A WOMAN walks quickly out of the

school, holding PAPERS. SHe’s looking down, like she’s in a

hurry to get somewhere.

Paul and Emily both SHOOT. Papers fall to the ground. The

woman DIES instantly.

Paul and Emily enter the school.


8:30

Only a few STUDENTS are MILLING about. No one has heard the

gunshots yet. Paul and Emily SHOOT them.

One student begins to SCREAM for a second before the scream

is CUT OFF by a bullet.

EMILY

I’ll do the office. Meet me before

8:45.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: (2) 8.

PAUL

Yeah.

EMILY

Good luck.

Emily HEADS off into the office. Paul WATCHES her go.


8:31

Paul then begins to WALK WEST down the same path he took

early in the episode. Only two STUDENTS are in the hallway;

three SHOTS kill them.

8:32

Paul continues WALKING west while an announcement comes on.

PRINCIPAL (O.S.)

Teachers, lock your doors. There

is a shooter in the building. This

is not a drill.

No impact is visible in Paul. He continues to WALK,

entering the GYM.

16 INT. GYM - CONT.

8:33

There is only a JANITOR in the gym. He sees Paul.

JANITOR

Wait, kid -

A SHOT; the janitor DROPS DEAD.

Paul HEADS to the weight room door.

17 INT. WEIGHT ROOM - CONT.

The weight room is completely EMPTY of people. Paul walks

across the room and EXITS through a DOOR on the other side.

9.


8:34

The LIGHTS in a classroom nearby go OFF. Paul tries the

DOOR. It’s locked. He SHOOTS the door. It still won’t

open.

He begins to JOG west.

8:35

In the distance, there is a GIRL running away from

Paul. Paul begins to SHOOT. Loud, piercing SCREAMS come

from the girl. After six shots, the girl finally

DROPS. Her corpse is still in the distance.

8:36

Nearby, a girl RUNS out of the west boy’s bathroom. It’s

Amanda, the cheerleader. She immediately sees Paul and

begins to RUN AWAY, terrified.

Paul LIFTS his rifle and SHOOTS. Amanda DROPS.

8:37

Paul WALKS up to her body. Her leg is GUSHING BLOOD, but

she’s still BLINKING and BREATHING hard.

AMANDA

(gasping)

Stop...don’t...

PAUL

What?

AMANDA

Don’t...shoot...please.

PAUL

What’s my name?

AMANDA

...What?

8:38

We ZOOM out to reveal Matt approaching Paul from

BEHIND. Paul suddenly spins around and SHOOTS. Matt DROPS

DEAD.

Amanda’s SOBS grow LOUDER. Paul checks his WRISTWATCH. He

TURNS and begins to RUN back east.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: (2) 10.

8:39

The halls are absolutely EMPTY, except for the couple DEAD

BODIES scattered in the halls. All of the classrooms are

DARK inside. In the distance, GUNSHOTS are heard.

Paul SPEEDS up. He RUNS through the CAFETERIA doors.

19 INT. CAFETERIA - CONT.

8:40

Paul RUNS into the cafeteria, where Emily is finishing up

SHOOTING members of the band. INSTRUMENTS are strewn about

the room. The very few remaining STUDENTS in the cafeteria

are HIDING under the TABLES.

All is SILENT.

PAUL

Emily?

Emily SPINS around, frightened by the sudden voice. Without

thinking, she SHOOTS Paul. Paul DROPS to the ground, HURT.

Emily is horrified. She DASHES to Paul.

EMILY

Oh my god! Oh my god!

8:41

Paul begins to BLEED from the gunshot WOUND in his SIDE.

PAUL

Damn.

Paul looks up, into Emily’s EYES, which STARE

sympathetically at him from above.

EMILY

I am so sorry, Paul.

Emily RAISES her shotgun. She SHOOTS.

CUT TO BLACK

Over the DARKNESS, we hear one FINAL BREATH.

37 INT. PIANO ROOM - 7:45 A.M.

7:45

KARA is SITTING at a PIANO playing "Primavera" by

Einaudi. SHEET MUSIC is in front of her.

Her hands FLY across the KEYS; she LEANS in and out as the

notes CRESCENDO and DECRESCENDO dramatically.

7:46

Kara is short, cute, and only somewhat heavy. At the

moment, she is CONCENTRATING on her playing.

The MELODY is beautiful; the BASELINE is powerful; the

DYNAMICS shape the music perfectly.

7:47

Through a little WINDOW on the DOOR to the room, Emily

appears. She gives a THUMBS UP and SMILES. Kara notices,

and without stopping the music, she SMILES back.

7:48

The song suddenly DIVES lower and the baseline dominates

with powerful REPETITION. The music is TENSE. We are

building up to something...

7:49

As the song CLIMAXES, a CELLPHONE begins to RING. The music

HALTS immediately and Kara reaches for her cellphone.

She checks the CALLER ID and PICKS UP.

KARA

Hey Austin.

AUSTIN (O.S.)

Hey, Kara. What’s up?

KARA

I was just practicing Einaudi.

AUSTIN (O.S.)

Cool.

There is a brief SILENCE.

AUSTIN (O.S.)

No, it was my dad this time.

KARA

Your dad lost his teddy bear?

AUSTIN (O.S.)

(laughs)

No, I mean, my dad was talking to

me for awhile. I got out the door

late.

KARA

Oh, okay. So you want me to tell

our science teacher, then?

AUSTIN (O.S.)

Yeah, if you could.

KARA

Sure.

AUSTIN (O.S.)

Thanks Kara! I’ll see you in

class.

KARA

Okay. But you owe me.

FOUNTAIN. She BENDS over and DRINKS.

Across the hall, Paul stands in the bathroom’s entryway,

STARING at Kara.

Matt EXITS the bathroom and PUSHES past Paul to get

out. Matt walks to the middle of the hall, WRAPS his arm

around Amanda, and begins to walk east.

MATT

(now distant)

Waiting long?

7:54

Kara is done drinking, and she STRAIGHTENS herself and

begins to WALK east, following Matt and Amanda.

She passes the GYM. Inside, the BASKETBALL TEAM is

practicing.


7:55

Kara continues to WALK. In front of Matt and Amanda walks

Sid, with a gigantic BACKPACK.

7:56

Paul PASSES Kara from behind her. Ahead of him, Matt and

Amanda enter a CLASSROOM (ep. 104, 106).

Kara passes the LIBRARY (ep. 102, 103, 107).

In front of here, Paul PASSES Sid. Sid is now directly in

front of Kara. Sid’s backpack suddenly BURSTS open. PAPERS

and BOOKS fall to the floor.

7:58

Kara continues to WALK east, approaching Sid. He is

KNEELING on the ground, COLLECTING the fallen papers and

STUFFING them into his backpack.

Before Kara reaches Sid, she TURNS into a CLASSROOM.

25.

40 INT. LAB - CONT.

7:59

The lab is full of STUDENTS. Some SIT at their DESKS, some

MILL around, and others are engrossed in CONVERSATION.

A TEACHER is standing at the front of the room. He writes

on the blackboard: "Today period 1 is 8:00 to 8:45."

Kara HEADS to her DESK, near the FRONT of the

classroom. She REMOVES her backpack and SITS.

8:00

The school BELL RINGS. Students immediately begin to find

their seats. The talking begins to QUIET.

Sid RUNS into the classroom, flustered. His backpack is

OPEN and he is CLUTCHING a pile of loose papers.

TEACHER

Please sit down, Sid.

SID

Sorry...

Sid finds his seat.

TEACHER

We’ll be in the library today. If

we could all stand up and quietly

make our way together...

41 INT. LIBRARY - 8:08 A.M.

8:08

The NOISE is deafening. The class of students are SEATED at

library TABLES, TALKING to each other while the teacher is

on the PHONE.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: (2) 26.

The teacher HANGS UP the phone and APPROACHES Kara. The

other students continue to TALK.

TEACHER

Kara, would you mind walking down

to lab room? The principal just

called; Austin is back. He’s

probably waiting in there.

8:09

KARA

Yeah, sure.

Kara STANDS and WALKS quickly out of the

library. Off-screen, we hear the teacher begin to speak

again.


8:10

Kara WALKS quickly to the nearby lab room DOOR. The

hallway is nearly EMPTY and mostly SILENT.

She APPROACHES the door. She ENTERS.

43 INT. LAB - CONT.

8:11

Austin is SEATED at a desk.

AUSTIN

Hi, Kara.

KARA

Hi. Our class is in the library

today.

Kara WALKS up to Austin.

AUSTIN

Oh, okay. Thanks.

Kara LEANS over and lightly KISSES Austin’s CHEEK.

KARA

You’re welcome.

Kara HEADS out the door, TURNING around in the doorway.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: (2) 27.

KARA (cont’d)

Again.


8:12

Kara LEAVES the lab. Instead of walking west, back to the

library, she walks EAST again.

She PASSES Sid, who is WALKING west.

8:13

Kara passes another set of BATHROOMS. She then TURNS into

the open DOORS leading to the CAFETERIA

45 INT. CAFETERIA - CONT.

8:14

Kara ENTERS the cafeteria. The BAND is practicing, and the

there is a CONDUCTOR in front of them.

The MUSIC is painfully disharmonious. The conductor WAVES

his hands in a "stop" GESTURE. The band slowly comes to a

HALT. A TUBA continues to play briefly, but the sound DIES

OUT as its PLAYER realizes everyone else has stopped.

The conductor sees Kara, who has been WATCHING near the

entrance.

8:15

CONDUCTOR

Kara! Thank god -- would you mind

leading the woodwinds? We’re dying

here without Emily.

KARA

Uh, I have class...

CONDUCTOR

I’ll tell your teacher where you

were. He won’t be too happy, but I

can deal with it.

KARA

Okay, cool.

Kara walks to an empty TABLE and picks up an OBOE among a

collection of INSTRUMENTS.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: (2) 28.

8:16

She finds a SEAT in front of the woodwind SECTION.

The conductor LIFTS his arms...

END OF ACT TWO

ACT THREE

FADE IN:

46 INT. CAFETERIA - 8:32 A.M.

8:32

The band is PLAYING a marching tune when the announcement

comes over the intercom. They STOP their playing to listen.

PRINCIPAL (O.S.)



is not a drill.

CHAOS ensues.

The sounds of panic are DEAFENING. Instruments are THROWN

to the ground in the instant STRUGGLE to escape.

8:33

The conductor runs to the DOORS, trying to SHUT them. They

won’t budge. He RETURNS to the STAND amid the chaos.

CONDUCTOR

Everyone, calm down, please!

No one hears. The chaos continues. Only Kara is still, her

face covered in SHOCK.

CONDUCTOR (cont’d)

Stop!!

The band begins to QUIET. Gradually, all talking CEASES.

8:34


I would like everyone to get under

their tables. Quickly, please.

They begin to follow his instruction. Nervous WHISPERING is

heard.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: (2) 29.


Silence.

Silence. By now, everyone is under a table.

8:35

The band members, the conductor, and Kara continue to hide

under their tables. Occasionally, a loud SHUSHING NOISE or

a brief SQUEAL of terror can be heard. Mostly, though,

there is a tense SILENCE.

Kara is terrified.

8:36

Kara’s EYES -- along with those of the rest of the band --

follow the conductor as he cautiously STANDS from underneath

the table he was under. He moves QUIETLY to the door.

TENSE SILENCE. He tries again to SHUT the door. It doesn’t

give. He PUSHES harder. It still won’t close.

8:37

He SLAMS his body into the door. With a frighteningly loud

CREAK, it BUDGES only an inch. The doors are still wide

open, and the quiet has been broken. For a moment, no one

moves. No one breathes.

After a moment, the conductor begins to CREEP back to his

table.

8:38

The conductor is once again under his table. Silence

continues.

Under her table, Kara begins to TIE HER SHOES.

8:39

Kara is almost done tying her shoes when she sees FEET enter

through the door. They are EMILY’S, but Kara is unaware of

their owner. There is absolute and dead SILENCE, except for

the pounding FOOTSTEPS. The feet draw nearer and nearer.

8:40

BANG. BANG. Suddenly, GUNSHOTS begin to ring out. A few

people SCREAM. A group of three band members tries to RUN

for the door. BANG. BANG. BANG.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: (3) 30.

The gunshots continue. It’s not yet chaos, but it’s on the

edge of becoming it. The tenseness has been replaced by

total FEAR and senseless VIOLENCE.

PAUL RUNS into the cafeteria.

PAUL

Emily?

Emily SPINS around, frightened by the sudden voice. Without

thinking, she SHOOTS Paul. Paul DROPS to the ground, HURT.

Emily is horrified. She DASHES to Paul.

EMILY

Oh my god! Oh my god!

8:41

Paul begins to BLEED from the gunshot WOUND in his SIDE.

PAUL

Damn.

Paul looks up, into Emily’s EYES, which STARE

sympathetically at him from above.

EMILY

I am so sorry, Paul.

Emily RAISES her shotgun. She SHOOTS.

Absolute SILENCE.

8:42

Kara is hiding under her table amid countless fallen

corpses. She is TREMBLING. Her FISTS are CLENCHED. A TEAR

begins to fall down her CHEEK.

Suddenly, Emily’s FACE is directly in front of Kara. Emily

is PEEKING under the table. Her SHOTGUN is pointed.

BANG. Emily SHOOTS; a girl beside her falls DEAD to the

ground. Emily SMILES as Kara (with evil? malice? perhaps

even with the look of a shared inside joke?). Her head

DISAPPEARS over the edge of the table.

8:43

Emily SITS at the table above Kara. Her FEET dangle near

Kara’s FACE. It sounds like she is EATING something, but

Kara cannot see.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: (4) 31.

Slowly, Kara PEEKS over the edge of the table. Emily is

eating an APPLE. She is looking AHEAD, away from the doors.

Kara begins to CRAWL out from the door-side of the table,

away from Emily’s gaze. After she manages to get a few feet

out into the open floor, she PEERS back at Emily.

8:44

Emily is still looking away. Cautiously, Kara STANDS. She

begins to TIPTOE to the doors. She PEERS back.

Still safe. She SPEEDS up, walking at full speed now. She

makes it to the door.


Faster, now, and faster. Kara is RUNNING at full speed

toward the doors to the school. Time is running

out. Faster, FASTER.

In the background, a SINGLE GUNSHOT. No time to

stop. Kara’s footsteps QUICKEN even more. She almost TRIPS

over her partly tied shoes. No time to stop. FULL SPEED.

Kara BREAKS through the school DOORS.


Briefly, we see Kara RUN out the front doors of the school.

8:45

The school EXPLODES. Kara FALLS to the ground.

Close up on her FACE. Her EYELIDS flutter OPEN.

CUT TO WHITE

EPISODE 104 - "MATT"

ACT ONE

FADE IN:

32.

49 EXT. FOOTBALL FIELD - 7:45 A.M.

7:45

The sound of a WHISTLE pierces the air. Several high school

BOYS wearing FOOTBALL UNIFORMS are crouched down, flanking

the line of SCRIMMAGE and STARING at the players opposite

them. In the center is the quarterback -- MATT -- very

tall, handsome, and of medium build.

MATT

Red 21... Hike!

The CENTER snaps the FOOTBALL, Matt CATCHES it, and the play

begins.

7:46

After a moment of WAITING for the WIDE RECEIVER, Matt THROWS

the ball to him. The receiver is TACKLED before he can

catch it. The COACH blows the WHISTLE again.

COACH

Okay, class starts in less than

fifteen minutes! We’ll practice

more after school!

The players begin to CONGREGATE and TALK.

7:47

They all begin to head for the back entrance of the

SCHOOL. Matt is talking with ROSS, another football player.

ROSS

I can’t believe that stupid

sophmore tackled George before he

even got the ball.

The group ENTERS the school.


MATT

Yeah, he needs to learn.

ROSS

You had a good throw, though.

MATT

Yeah?

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: (2) 33.

In the middle of the HALLWAY, the entire group of football

players stops walking. The conversations continue.

ROSS

Yeah. Good...

(points to elbow)

Straight elbow.

Ross SMILES, embarassed.

MATT

(chuckling)

Thanks. Yours’s not bad either.

PAUL steps out of a nearby CLOSET door.

7:48

Paul passes the group of football players. They SNICKER at

him. Paul does not turn and continues to WALK.

The conversation returns, but Matt is not paying attention.

7:49

Matt interrupts the conversation.

MATT (cont’d)

I have to head off. I promised to

meet Amanda.

ROSS

(teasing)

She’s making you into a hopeless

love puppy.

MATT

(laughing)

Shut up!

Matt LEAVES the group and begins to walk EAST.

7:50

Matt continues to WALK.

He passes AMANDA, who is LEANED against a LOCKER beside some

other GIRLS. Amanda WAVES at him. Matt SMILES and NODS his

head slightly. He does not stop walking, but rather turns

and enters the BATHROOM.

34.


7:51

Only Paul is in the bathroom, using a URINAL.

In the center of the bathroom floor, Matt begins to remove

his UNIFORM.

As people pass the bathroom door off-screen, isolated

SNIPPETS of CONVERSATION can be heard.

Paul finishes and ZIPS his pants. He turns around to the

SINK and begins to wash his hands. He uses SOAP.

At first, he slowly RUBS his hands together. He begins to

go faster. Soon, he’s using an incredible amount of FORCE.

MATT

Jesus, calm down!

7:52

At this point, Matt has removed his uniform and is PULLING

on a SWEATSHIRT.

Paul SHUTS the water OFF and EXITS the bathroom without

saying a word or drying his hands.

Matt finishes getting dressed and LEAVES the room.


7:53

Paul is standing in the bathroom’s entryway, STARING at

Kara, across the hall.

Matt PUSHES past to get into the hallway. Matt walks to the

middle of the hall, where a Amanda stands WAITING. Matt

WRAPS his arm around her and they begin to walk east.

MATT

Waiting long?

7:54

AMANDA

Not long.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: (2) 35.

MATT

Cool.

AMANDA

Hey, remember my sister?

MATT

Yeah.

AMANDA

She’s coming back from college next

weekend. I was wondering if we

wanted to go out with her

boyfriend.

MATT

What, like a double date?

AMANDA

No -- like last time.

MATT

Oh.

(brief pause)

Is she bringing the x again?

7:55

AMANDA

Probably.

MATT

Cool, yeah, we should go. Should I

pick you up?

AMANDA

No, my sister will drive.

There is a brief, uncomfortable SILENCE. Amanda reaches

over and HOLDS Matt’s hand. Matt GLANCES at her briefly,

then turns back to look east, in the direction of their

walking.

7:56

SID is walking in front of Matt and Amanda with a gigantic

BACKPACK. He STUMBLES slightly.

Matt is quiet, addressing Sit, but in a way that only Amanda

can hear:

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: (3) 36.

MATT

Don’t fall back.

Amanda LEANS IN to Matt.

AMANDA

I don’t mind when you do that.

MATT

(laughing)

Somehow I doubt he’ll get much of

that.

AMANDA

Oh, you never know.

7:57

Matt STARES at Amanda with an animated, INCREDULOUS

look. Amanda tries to stare back, but she BREAKS out into

GIGGLES.

AMANDA (cont’d)

Alright, you win.

MATT

Do I ever.

END OF ACT ONE

ACT TWO

FADE IN:

53 INT. SPANISH CLASSROOM - 8:00 A.M.

8:00

The school BELL RINGS. Matt is in his seat in the BACK and

SIDE of the room. Amanda sits halfway up on the other side

of the room.

The TEACHER walks to the center of the classroom.

TEACHER

Hola, clase. Hoy vamos a repasar

la gramática de este capítulo. Por

favor saca tu tarea del noche

pasado. Vamos a correctar.

No subtitles are provided. After all, Matt has no idea what

his teacher just said. He only takes out his HOMEWORK when

everyone else -- including Amanda -- does so.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: (2) 37.

8:01

TEACHER (cont’d)

Todo tiene tu tarea? Bueno. Vamos

a comencar. Numero uno. Cuando

era una madre, yo... Matias?

Matt hadn’t been raising his hand. He’d been STARING at a

girl in front of him.

MATT

Umm, I put... jugue con mi hijo.

TEACHER

Bueno, pero "era" es imperfecto,

no?

MATT

Yeah... I mean, sí.

TEACHER

Entones jugar necesita ser el

imperfecto también.

8:02

MATT

Oh, okay. Is it, uh, jugabo?

TEACHER

Casi. Es jugaba. Bueno. Numero

dos...

The teacher continues to call on students to answer the

homework questions.

Matt takes out his CELLPHONE and TEXTS.

u want 2 get outa here

8:03

Amanda also gets out her CELLPHONE. She looks at it, and

then SMILES at Matt, nodding.

Matt texts again:

k. u couf

Amands again GLANCES at her phone, and then puts it

away. She COUGHS.

The teacher is in the middle of talking about an answer with

another student. Amanda COUGHS again.

She COUGHS four times in quick succession.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: (3) 38.

TEACHER (cont’d)

Correcto. Y numero nueve...

8:04

Amanda COUGHS twice as loudly as before.

TEACHER (cont’d)

Amanda, estás buena?

AMANDA

Creo que necesito agua.

TEACHER

Quieres ir al fuente de agua?

Amanda suddenly begins a VIOLENT coughing SPASM. The

teacher is frightened.

TEACHER (cont’d)

Okay, uh, go to the nurse! Will

someone please go with her?

Matt STANDS. Amanda is still emitting COUGH after COUGH.

MATT

I’ll go.

TEACHER

Okay, please go quickly.

8:05

The entire CLASS watches as Matt WRAPS his ARM around Amanda

and ESCORTS her out of the classroom.


They begin to walk WEST. The door SHUTS behind

them. Instantly, Amanda stops coughing and breaks out into

loud GIGGLES.

MATT

(laughing)

They’re going to her us!

8:06

Amanda slowly begins to CALM down, but she’s still

smiling. Suddenly, she begins to GIGGLE again.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: (2) 39.

MATT (cont’d)

Those coughs were violent! I would

have thought you were having a

heart attack or something.

AMANDA

(giggling)

I didn’t think they were too bad.

MATT

They weren’t! They were incredible.

Slowly, Amanda once again CALMS. The giggles

subside. There is a happy silence.

8:07

The silence continues. It becomes uncomfortable.

They reach the west set of bathrooms.

MATT (cont’d)

Let’s use the boys’, this time.

AMANDA

We always do.

MATT

I’m not going in the girls’.

AMANDA

I know.

They ENTER the boy’s bathroom.


8:08

Without talking, Amanda begins to REMOVE her top. Matt

takes off his SWEATSHIRT. Then he WALKS up to her.

They RUB their hands against each other. Amanda LIFTS up

Matt’s SHIRT and rubs his CHEST.

AMANDA

Lift up your arms.

Matt does so, and Amanda SLIDES the shirt off. It FALLS to

the FLOOR, near the sweatshirt and the top.

8:09

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: (2) 40.

Matt FIDDLES with his zipper. Amanda LEANS IN, and they

KISS. It’s somewhat MESSY, because Matt’s hands are busy

PULLING down his jeans.

Once they fall, Matt STEPS out of them and begins to remove

Amanda’s. They stop KISSING briefly.

AMANDA (cont’d)

Let me do that.

She pulls off her JEANS and STEPS forward. They kiss again.

Matt LEANS downward, ending up LYING on the floor. Amanda

comes down with him.

8:10

AMANDA (cont’d)

You’ll be better this time?

Amanda FLIPS her hair and LEANS in again.

END OF ACT TWO

ACT THREE

FADE IN:

56 INT. WEST BOY’S BATHROOM - 8:26 A.M.

8:26

Close-up on a SINK. A drop of WATER begins to form on the

SPOUT. A second later, it DROPS into the DRAIN.

Another one begins to FORM. It too drops.

In the background, the sounds of HEAVY BREATHING. It gets

louder. A girl’s SQUEAL is heard briefly.

The breathing begins to SLOW. We LIFT from the sink and PAN

to the MIRROR. We can see the REFLECTION of Matt and

Amanda, still on the floor, LYING beside each other.

8:27

Matt’s breathing has returned to normal. He SITS up and

REMOVES his clothing from the PILE beside him. He

DRESSES. Amanda is still LYING on the floor.

Once Matt’s dressed, he EXITS the bathroom without a word.

41.


8:28

Matt walks EAST. He TURNS to enter the GYM.

58 INT. GYM - CONT.

8:29

A few STUDENTS, including Ross and Sid, are in gym

class. They are playing BASEBALL. A TEACHER is sitting in

a CHAIR on the other side of the gym, READING a MAGAZINE.

Ross is up to bat. Matt APPROACHES him.

MATT

Hey.

ROSS

Hey. What are you doing here?

MATT

(whispers)

I just did Amanda.

Ross WHISTLES.

ROSS

Nice.

MATT

Here, let me hit one.

8:30

Ross hands Matt the BAT. The PITCHER tosses the BALL.

Matt makes strong CONTACT, and the ball FLIES to the other

side of the gym. He and Ross HIGH-FIVE.

MATT (cont’d)

That’s the way!

Ross RUNS out and retrieves the BALL. Matt gives Ross the

bat back.

8:31

In the distance, three SHOTS are heard. Everyone in the gym

suddenly goes QUIET.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: (2) 42.

MATT (cont’d)

Okay, let’s all go out the back

door now.

No one MOVES. The teacher looks paralyzed.

MATT (cont’d)

(still calm)

Everyone, we have to get out of

here, now.

Sid is the first to come to. He RUNS out the BACK DOOR of

the gym, letting the bright LIGHT of outside enter.

After that, everyone else FOLLOWS him, except Matt and the

teacher.

8:32

MATT (cont’d)

(to teacher)

You should go too.

The INTERCOM comes on.

PRINCIPAL (O.S.)



is not a drill.

Matt TURNS away and JOGS to the weight room DOOR. A JANITOR

comes out of the door and WALKS into the gym just as Matt

goes through the door in the other direction.

59 INT. WEIGHT ROOM - CONT.

8:33

Matt rapidly makes his way to the DOOR on the other side of

the weight room. Close behind him, we hear a single SHOT

and FOOTSTEPS. The door from the gym OPENS just as Matt

makes it out into the HALLWAY.


Matt runs EAST. He reaches the Spanish room and tries to

enter. The door is LOCKED. From inside, a girl SCREAMS.

MATT

Damn!

43.


8:34

Matt continues to run EAST. He reaches the LIBRARY

DOORS. Inside, he sees the science TEACHER and a few other

STUDENTS hiding underneath the TABLES.

He tries the DOOR. It’s LOCKED.

He begins to run WEST.


8:35

Up ahead, we hear six SHOTS and loud, piercing

SCREAMS. Matt SPEEDS UP. A boy in the distance slowly

comes into sight.

8:36

In the distance, a girl RUNS out of the west boy’s

bathroom. As Matt approaches, we can see that it’s

Amanda. She immediately sees Paul and begins to RUN AWAY,

terrified.

Paul LIFTS his rifle and SHOOTS. Amanda DROPS.

8:37

Matt SLOWS down considerably and SNEAKS forward, hoping not

to heard. He’s just a few classrooms away now.

Paul WALKS up to Amanda’s body.

AMANDA

(gasping)

Stop...don’t...

PAUL

What?

AMANDA

Don’t...shoot...please.

Their voices begin to get LOUDER as Matt gets closer. Just

a few yards away now.

PAUL

What’s my name?

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: (2) 44.

AMANDA

...What?

8:38

Paul suddenly SPINS.
