Dakota Skye Page #4

Synopsis: For as long as she could remember, Dakota Skye has been cursed with a super power. She has the ability to see the truth in any lie she hears. From small, harmless white lies, to the more devious kind, they have come from the people that she should trust the most; her family, friends and teachers. These lies have snowballed, leading to her becoming bitter and apathetic towards the world around her. Now seventeen, Dakota just watches the world happen around her, unmotivated to join it. She has a boyfriend who plays in a semi-popular local rock band and her best friend from childhood, but finds little joy in her own life. One day, Jonah comes into town. It only takes a few days before Dakota notices something about him that sets him apart from the other people in her life. He doesn't lie. Through her friendship with Jonah, her eyes are opened to the world around her and she sees that there is something out there more than all the lies. There is a possibility of something different... some

I mean no.

- First you're--

- Listen, there are rules.

- I can't just--

- And now you're just gonna...?

Oh, wow.

Okay, whatever. That's fine.

No.

No, no, no!

I'll be there in 10 minutes.

Drive.

I said "drive. "

- Where?

- I don't care where. Just...far away.

If you had just one

Let me be that love

If you have lots of others

Please let me be

Please let me be one

Let me be one

If you like undressing

Please let me find out

If you like large intestines

Please let me find

Please, please, please

Let me find out

Let me find out

Or if you're gone

For weeks on end

Crazy situations

And don't know

Why you drive through cars

In dirty, foreign towns

Please let me find out

If you shield your eyes

For glory every time

And drag your mouth to smile

And sickness is your cover...

Why did we stop?

Couldn't drive any further.

That's a big f***in' hole.

That's a Grand f***in' hole.

We always find ourselves

looking down on things.

I think that's a thing for us.

Why is that?

Well, it's our obvious superiority

above all others.

- Sorry.

- For what?

I don't know if that

was the right thing to do.

In fact, I know that was not

the right thing to do,

but I wanted to, anyway.

What are we gonna do?

I don't know.

This is pretty bad.

- This is so bad.

- Yeah.

- I just feel like--

- I know.

Hey, how about this?

How about let's just pretend

like this is all a dream, okay?

Okay.

And nothing that we say or do

counts in the waking world,

and out there, I mean,

we might be horrible people,

but right here in our dream,

you and me, this is all okay.

- Just for today.

- Just for right here and right now.

You know, eventually we're gonna

have to wake up from this dream.

Yeah, but not right now.

Not for a little while, anyway.

So, I think I'm falling in love.

involuntarily blessed with something

people spend their entire lives

searching for.

Lucky me.

Are you tired?

Tell me again why you don't drive.

Uh, I don't have a license.

Why not?

Because I always had a ride.

And you don't have

a cell phone because...?

Somebody might call it.

You know, something

just occurred to me.

We've been gone almost 2 4 hours.

Aren't your parents gonna freak?

My mom's out of town.

And your dad?

My dad died when I was little, so. . .

I think we're in the clear.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

It's cancer. It happens.

I guess--

If you say "I guess

that explains a few things",

you lose a testicle.

I wasn't gonna say--

I don't date older guys

looking for Daddy.

I don't. I'm not looking

for a father figure.

I have a dad.

He's just not here anymore.

That would have really

put me in my place

if I would have said anything.

I'm sorry. I just...

Kevin just always...

Never mind.

Told you.

- You want the tour?

- Yeah.

Kitchen, dining room,

den, living room...

Hold on. Follow me.

Hallway.

Oh, goodness! My room!

How did we get in here?

Do we have to wake up yet?

- I can't do this.

- But we already are.

We can't.

- I know, but I want to.

- Oh, God. So do I.

- We can't.

- We can't.

Hello?

Hey, where have you been all day?

I've been studying at Denise's.

You comin'?

What?

What do you mean, "what"?

To the show. Hello?

Oh, yeah! Of course!

F***, yeah, of course.

Can you do me a favor?

- Yeah, sure.

- Do you have Jonah's number?

Yeah, yeah. I got it somewhere.

All right, well, could you

give him a call for me, then?

Okay.

All right. Cool. Well, hook up

a ride with him to get here,

- because I'm already at the show.

- Okay. Bye.

I guess it's time to wake up.

Yeah.

My heart beats more slowly

But you're not here to hold me

Baby, it can be so lonely

Is it any wonder why I love you

You're beautiful, so beautiful

They're jealous, so jealous

You're beautiful, just beautiful

Is it any wonder why I love you

My heart beats more slowly

But you're not here to hold me

Baby, it can be so lonely

Is it any wonder why I love you

Oh my heart beats more slowly

But you're not here to hold me

Baby, it can be so lonely

Is it any wonder why I love you

You're beautiful, so beautiful

They're jealous, so jealous

You're beautiful, just beautiful

Is it any wonder why I love you

Thank you, thank you.

We are Brookhaven Three

from Scottsdale, A - Z.

I've got a little surprise

for you guys, tonight.

Dakota, come up on stage.

Yeah, that's you.

Come on. Let's go.

I'm gonna do a cover for you guys

of a song you probably

never heard before,

but you're gonna hear it now,

so enjoy it.

Jake...

Some days I feel affected

And it all disappears

The rain and clouds

Above my head

And it all disappears

I'd understand it

if I could grab it

Another wish on my list

One more day

We've made it through, now

Got my list, got my list

One more day

We've made it through, now

Got my list, got my list

Got my list

Some days I feel protected

And it all disappears

Breathe as two

But think as one

And it all disappears

I'd understand it

if I could grab it

Another wish on my list

One more day

We've made it through, now

Got my list, got my list

One more day

We've made it through, now

Got my list, got my list

One more day

We've made it through, now

Got my list, got my list

One more day

We've made it through, now

Got my list, got my list

Got my list

Got my list

Got my list

Well?

What can I say?

Motherfucking rock star.

F***ing straight, dude.

We're out.

You guys did a really great show.

Peace, brother-man.

Good show, dude.

Jim's?

Hell, yeah! Can you give me a ride?

- Yeah.

- Thanks. Let's go.

I didn't know you could sing.

I can't.

- Beg to differ.

- So, what were you doing today?

I can't remember the last time

you said you were studying,

with Denise, no less.

- Yeah, I was studying for the S. A. T.'s.

- Oh, look at that.

My little braniac.

What about you, punk-ass?

I must have left you,

like, 500 messages.

- I--

- Hi, guys. What'll it be?

- Coffee.

- Coffee.

Coffee.

Well, damn. I'll get a chili

cheeseburger and a vanilla Coke.

- Of course you will.

- Thanks.

What were you saying?

Where were you today?

Um, I went and I was--

Kev, you were

so good out there tonight!

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

- Thanks.

- Yeah. You rocked the house, dude.

Yeah, make you sorry

that you quit the old band?

Oh, hell no! Don't believe

this motherf***er for a second!

You didn't quit the band! We kicked

him out because he sucked!

Bad?

Bad? On a scale of 1 to 10,

he was, like, negative 142.

I thought you said

you quit the band.

Hey, yo, Terry!

What kind of douche-bags

come to Jim's at 2:00 in the morning?

This some S.A.T. study group?

Nerd.

- Later, guys.

- Have a good night, Terry.

Later. 'Kota, do you need a lift?

No, I'll take her, man.

Um, could I get a ride home?

Uh, yeah.

'Night, guys.

- Can I come inside?

- No, not tonight.

- Why? Your mom home?

- Yeah. No. I mean...

- Then, what?

- I have school in the morning!

Oh, come on.

I'm still so amped up

from the show, from the concert.
