Donnie Darko Page #6
Donnie stands there silently for a moment, and then Grandma
Death turns back towards her house.
EXT. DR. THURMAN'S RANCH - SUNSET
We see a large colonial rancher in the distance.
INT. THERAPIST'S OFFICE - EVENING
Dr. Lilian Thurman (fifty-eight) is a beautiful older woman.
DR. THURMAN
Your mother said that you've been
skipping cycles of your medication.
DONNIE:
I've been taking it. I just like to
make her feel guilty for all of this.
You know, abuse her. Psychologically.
DR. THURMAN
All of this... certainly isn't your
mother's fault, Donald.
He is quiet for a moment.
DONNIE:
So, I met a new friend.
DR. THURMAN
Would you like to talk about this
friend?
DONNIE:
His name is Frank.
DR. THURMAN
Frank.
DONNIE:
DR. THURMAN
How so?
DONNIE:
Don't you watch the news?
DR. THURMAN
I don't own a television.
DONNIE:
A jet engine fell on my house...
landed on my bed. While I was talking
to Frank on the golf course.
Dr. Thurman looks at him for a long beat, analysing whether
or not he is telling her the truth.
DONNIE:
I'm not kidding.
Concerned, Dr. Thurman leans in closer.
DR. THURMAN
Frank... instructed you... to get
out of bed... just before this
happened.
DONNIE:
He said to follow him.
DR. THURMAN
Follow him where?
DONNIE:
Into the future.
(beat)
Then he said that the world was coming
to an end.
He rubs his arm, where the numbers are still lightly drawn.
DR. THURMAN
Do you believe that the world is
coming to an end?
DONNIE:
(long beat)
No.
(beat)
That's stupid.
INT. MIDDLESEX RIDGE SCHOOL - HALLWAY
In the empty school hallway... a gigantic tidal wave forms
in the distance and comes crashing towards us between the
lockers.
INT. FAMILY ROOM - NIGHT (EARLY TUESDAY MORNING, 2 A.M.)
Donnie lies on the couch... fast asleep. His eyes slowly
open.
There, standing in the corner of the room in the shadows is
Frank.
FRANK:
Wake up, Donnie.
INT. MIDDLESEX RIDGE SCHOOL - NIGHT
In the dark school hallway, Donnie rounds the corner with a
flashlight, a can of spray paint, and an axe. Frank stands
in the same hallway where the tidal wave crashed.
Donnie shines the flashlight through the basement. He
approaches some old piping.
Donnie puts the axe back over his shoulder and then lowers
it fiercely. The smashing of metal against metal echoes
through the huge room.
TITLE CARD:
OCTOBER 4 1988
EXT. BUS STOP - MORNING (7:45 A.M.)
The same group stands and waits for the bus. The guys smoke.
Cherita stands alone. Samantha is reading something to Joanie.
SAMANTHA:
(reading)
"And then the prince was led into a
world of strange and beautiful magic."
JOANIE:
Wow.
Donnie grabs the piece of paper from his sister.
DONNIE:
(reading out loud)
"The Last Unicorn!" By Samantha Darko.
SAMANTHA:
Donnie! Give it back!
He pushes her away.
SAMANTHA:
You're wrinkling it!
SEAN:
Hey, it's 7:
45. The bus shoulda beenhere, like, twenty minutes ago.
RONALD:
Maybe Martha Moo finally went nuts
and hijacked the bus.
SEAN:
(excited)
You know, there's, like, this rule.
We get to go home at 7:55.
RONALD:
There's no rule!
SEAN:
F*** yeah there is! If the bus doesn't
show up in thirty minutes, you're
supposed to go straight home.
DONNIE:
Yeah... he's right. Because if we
keep waiting, some guy in a van might
pull up and try to molest us. And
then our parents could sue the school
board.
Everyone starts to get excited... looking down the road to
see if the bus is coming.
