Donnie Darko Page #7
Sean's watch hits 7:55. No bus.
SEAN:
All right! 7:
55. Everybody goes home.RONALD:
Let's go to Donnie's house. His
parents are both at work.
DONNIE:
Come on, Sam, you can call Joanie's
mom from home.
The two girls follow them. Cherita stands at the corner.
DONNIE:
Hey, Cherita... you should go home.
SEAN:
Yeah, if you're still here and the
bus comes, we'll get in trouble.
CHERITA:
Chut up.
SEAN:
Hey, porky pig. I hope you get
molested!
Suddenly, Emily Bates (ten) and Susie Bates (eight) run up
to the bus stop.
EMILY:
Hey! Our mom said that school is
cancelled today because it's flooded!
JOANIE:
No... way.
A horrible expression appears on Donnie's face.
INT. MIDDLESEX RIDGE SCHOOL - MORNING
A janitor named Leroy (fifty-five) stands at the end of the
hall with Principal Cole. Water rushes past their feet down
the steps.
LEROY:
I got twelve classrooms full of water.
All coming from a busted water main.
PRINCIPAL COLE:
What else?
LEROY:
What else? Sh*t, Principal Cole, you
ain't gonna believe what else.
They stand before the bronze Middlesex mongrel. Spray-painted
on the concrete before it is the phrase: THEY MADE ME DO IT.
There are papers strewn everywhere. Embedded in the head of
the mongrel is an axe.
PRINCIPAL COLE:
Christ. Is that an axe?
LEROY:
Yep.
PRINCIPAL COLE:
How did this happen?
LEROY:
(beat)
I guess they made him do it.
Leroy can't help himself. He has to laugh.
PRINCIPAL COLE:
You're fired.
Principal Cole walks off.
EXT. BUS STOP 2 - EARLY MORNING (8:15 A.M.)
Donnie, Sean, Ronald, Samantha and Joanie, Emily and Susie
walk from their bus stop.
RONALD:
School's closed! Everybody go home!
EMILY:
Nuh-uh.
SAMANTHA:
Yeah-huh. A cat burglar broke him
and trashed everything.
Susie talks with Emily. Joanie and Samantha listen in.
EMILY:
Mom said that the boys' locker room
looked like a swimming pool... and
that they found faeces everywhere.
SUSIE:
What are faeces?
EMILY:
Baby mice.
SUSIE:
Aww.
JOANIE:
Oh my God, that is so grody.
Sean looks down to another bus stop down the street.
SEAN:
School's cancelled!
A bunch of young kids scream out... jumping up and down.
Donnie approaches another corner alone. Ricky Danforth
(seventeen) and Seth Devlin (eighteen) stand with Gretchen.
SETH:
(smoking a cigarette)
Has anyone ever told you that you're
sexy?
RICKY:
I like your b*obs.
Gretchen looks at them with disgust.
Donnie walks into the group.
DONNIE:
Hey...
GRETCHEN:
Hey...
DONNIE:
School's cancelled.
They look at one another, surprised.
GRETCHEN:
(to Donnie)
Wanna walk me home?
DONNIE:
Sure.
They quickly begin to walk off. Seth and Ricky look off at
them, furious.
GRETCHEN:
Don't look so freaked.
DONNIE:
I'm not. But you should check your
backpack 'cause those guys like to
steal sh*t.
GRETCHEN:
F*** them.
Gretchen smiles at Donnie, and then turns back and gives
them the middle finger.
EXT. NEIGHBOURHOOD STREET - NEXT (8:30 A.M.)
Donnie and Gretchen walk along the sidewalk together.
DONNIE:
So... you just moved here?
GRETCHEN:
Yeah. My parents got divorced. My
mom has a restraining order against
my stepdad.
(beat)
He has... emotional problems.
DONNIE:
Oh, I... have those too.
(beat)
What kind of problems does your dad
have?
GRETCHEN:
(long beat)
He stabbed my mom four times in the
chest.
