Afterschool Page #2

Synopsis: Having joined a recently created video club, a lowly prep-school sophomore - desensitized from reality by frequently viewed Internet imagery - accidentally captures on video the final moments of admired twin senior classmates dying from poisoned drugs. Rather than galvanize the school or this lad's life in any profound or meaningful way, the tragedy causes barely a ripple in the already emotionally diminished and out-of-touch lives of everyone around.

your new teachers?

Are classes good?

- Yeah.

Stop, though.

Listen.

I think I'm not a good person.

- Stop it.

You're a great person.

Is that guidance counselor

still the same from last year?

- Yeah, yeah, Mr. Virgil.

- Okay.

Why don't you talk to him?

He seemed really nice.

We could always do medication.

- No, Mom,

I don't want to do meds.

- I don't want you to either.

I think it's a horrible idea,

but what else is there to do?

I don't like

to hear you like this, Rob.

I love you, honey.

Please...

tell me you're okay, please.

I have enough

to worry about at work.

Please don't make me worry

about you all the way up there.

- No, I'm okay.

- Okay.

We love you.

- Mm-hmm.

Love you too.

All right, bye.

What's up, man?

Sorry about that.

- It's all right.

- Are you going?

- Yeah, let's go.

Just relax, it's gonna be

another five minutes, okay?

- I'm gonna be late, man.

- All right.

Just tell her you're

in the nurse's office.

- They know

I'm not on meds, though.

- Then tell her

you're with a friend.

Just chill out, okay?

- How much coke

did you do with them?

- Just a couple bumps,

not too much.

- Are they paying for it?

- No, they just-

they just do it for fun.

Besides, they usually buy

their own sh*t, you know?

- Oh.

- Hey, David Wilson.

- Here you go. How are you?

- Thank you.

Good. How are you?

- Good, thanks.

Have a good day.

- You too.

- Anyone else?

You're all set?

Okay.

- Hey, Dave, hang on a second.

- Hey, Mr. Virgil.

F***.

- Hey, buddy.

You missed

our last two sessions.

Next time, I'm gonna

call your mom, man.

- Yeah, I know.

I had to go to practice early.

- Yeah, whatever.

Our talks

are more important, huh?

- Yeah.

- Oh, yeah, and have

your mom call me.

I haven't seen her

since last night.

- Then I'm gonna put together

five different crews,

and we'll figure out

how that goes.

The first crew will be dedicated

to interviewing teachers.

That'll be

John and Michelle.

Crew number two,

that'll be what we call B-roll.

That's establishing shots.

So we'll be doing visuals

of the classrooms

and the corridors,

the cafeteria,

et cetera,

et cetera.

Rob, what's going on

back there?

Come on, Rob,

what's going on?

- Rob wants to use the video

to make a porn.

[laughs]

- Well, that's, uh...

That's a very nice idea,

but there will be no fluids

permitted around the camera,

bodily or any other sort.

[laughter]

- Okay, crew number two.

How about Rob and Amy?

Crew number three.

- You got $30?

- Oh, no.

I thought it was only $20.

- All right,

I'll-I'll take it.

Just give me the rest later,

okay?

- Thanks, man.

- See you later.

- See you, man.

- Dude, how much

are you spending?

- Not much more than usual.

- Why can't you just wait

till next weekend to go back?

- 'Cause I'm really low, man.

Hey, can you send me

the Bio answers?

- Yeah, sure.

So, listen...

Maybe the next time

you chill with the Talberts,

I'll meet up with you guys.

- What do you mean?

You don't do coke.

- Yeah, but...

neither does Trevor.

- Did you get it?

- Yeah, hold on,

I'm sending it.

- I don't know.

They're weird.

- Whatever, Dave.

- Yes, I'm not introducing you

to them on purpose.

You're not cool enough, man.

- I don't know.

- What are you filming?

- You.

Think that's good?

- Yeah, I think that's

all we need, probably.

- Okay.

[playing gentle piano music]

- Do you play the piano?

- Not really.

- Sounds like you do.

- We used to always have one

in the house.

I used to f*** around on it.

I think my dad

really wanted me to.

- I don't play anything.

- Yeah?

- Well, in the third grade,

I played the recorder,

but, like, every class

had to do that.

- Yeah, I think

we had that too.

- I wasn't even good at it.

[laughs]

Have you ever had sex?

- What?

No.

- Dave told me you didn't,

but I didn't really

believe him.

- What did Dave say?

- Nothing really.

I was just talking,

and I asked.

He said you hadn't done much.

- Dave's an a**hole.

I've done more than him.

- Well, Dave's not a virgin.

- Don't make fun of me.

- I wasn't.

- How about you?

Are you a virgin?

- Yeah.

But I can have sex

whenever I want.

I just haven't wanted to yet.

- Guess that's pretty convenient

for you.

- Well, it's easy for girls.

You know, it's really not hard

to get-

to be able to have sex

with any guy,

whenever, whoever.

So what have you done?

- I guess, like,

everything but.

- So you've had a blowj*b?

- Yeah.

- Like, a lot?

- What's a lot?

- Well, I wouldn't know, like...

- I guess, like,

something like 10.

- Oh.

Cool.

[laughs]

Are you trying

to strangle me to death?

What are you doing?

You're weird.

- Hmm.

- Hey, Mr. Burke.

[laughs]

There are the Talberts.

- What do you think?

- Get closer.

- Like this?

- Is that Dave? Yeah.

Hi, Dave.

- Everybody be

on your best behavior.

This is being videotaped.

all:
Hi!

- Okay, enough fun.

Quiet!

Good.

All right.

Our very own Tigers

will be playing

Algonquin this Wednesday...

- [hiccups]

Excuse me.

- ... At their field it seems.

A little piece of history.

This will be the 72nd meeting

between the Warriors

and the Tigers

since the league was established

and although our Tigers

have maintained-

- Camilla, Jess...

Ugh.

Audrey.

[applause]

There are the Talberts again.

- The majority of our losses

have occurred

on their home turf,

so if you finished

your studies this weekend,

please come out to support

your brother Tigers.

For all of you sloths,

the spirit bus leaves promptly

at 10:
00 a. m. Saturday morning.

Also, stragglers...

- Do you want to do

those hallway shots or should I?

- Um, you do it.

- Can I get that note

to get out of class?

- Yep.

Hi, Dave.

[dull thuds]

[strained breathing]

[metallic clang]

- [groaning]

[strained breathing]

[crying]

[screaming]

[strained breathing]

[screaming]

[strained breathing]

[breathing stops]

- Go to the office!

Have them call 911!

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God,

Robert, what happened?

Oh, my God, Mary.

Mary, open your eyes!

Are you-are they breathing?

Mary!

Oh, God!

Someone get help, okay?

Please go to the office.

Someone call 911.

We need to call a paramedic,

Open your eyes.

Can you see me?

- I don't know.

- Okay, fine.

What happened?

- We're at Bryton Academy.

- What happened?

You're filled with blood.

What's going on, Robert?

- Second floor hallway.

- Robert, can you stand up?

Robert, look at me.

- Tell them that there's

a lot of blood

and they're not breathing!

They're not breathing.

- There's two here that

seem to be out completely.

Mary and Anne Talbert.

All right, everybody-everybody

needs to clear the area!

Back to the classrooms.

Come on, back in classrooms!

Come on.

- What was that?
