Get Out Page #10

CHRIS:

Sh*t.

Everyone turns to Chris. Andre/Logan steps forward and looksat Chris oddly; His head c*cks a little and his peacefulexpression drifts slowly to maddened horror. Some of the party

guests gasp.

PHIL:

Logan?

Andre/Logan drops his glass and stumbles towards Chris. Chrisbacks up, but Andre is already up in his space.

63.

ANDRE:

Get out.

Andre/Logan’s voice is higher and scratchy, like it was in thefirst scene.

CHRIS:

Hey, man, I’m sorry, I-

Andre/Logan grabs Chris by the shoulders and screams shrilly.

Blood trickles out of his nose.

ANDRE:

GET THE F*** OUT OF HERE!!!!

Phil and Jeremy grab Andre. They have to pry Andre/Logan’sgrip off of Chris. When they do Andre/Logan screamsbloodcurdlingly. It takes all their strength to bring him intothe house. Missy and Dean follow.

INT. LIVING ROOM - AFTERNOON

Rose sits on the couch. She’s been crying. Chris comforts herbut is clearly traumatised. A few other concerned guests millaround. Dean enters everyone gives him their attention.

ROSE:

What the Hell was that?

DEAN:

It was a seizure.

ROSE:

A seizure?

DEAN:

Yes. Logan’s okay. Missy’s withhim now. Are you okay Chris?

CHRIS:

Yeah. Why did he come at me likethat?

ROSE:

Yeah seizures don’t make peopleattack people, I’m sorry.

DEAN:

It was an abnormal manifestation

but yes, actually, sometimes theydo. The flash on your phone musthave triggered it.

Andre/Logan enters with stands with Missy and Phil to asmattering of concerned applause.

64.

He addresses a group in his lower pitched “Logan” voice.

ANDRE/LOGANWell, I do believe I owe you allan apology.

The group grumbles.

MISSY:

We’re just glad you’re feelingyourself again.

ANDRE/LOGANWell yes I am. It’s quite likebeing trapped in a dark room andwatching my experiences through awindow. Thank God you and Deanwere here to calm me down.

DEAN:

It’s a simple glitch of the brain.

Nothing to be afraid of.

ANDRE/LOGANI know I scared you all quite abit.. especially you Chris.

CHRIS:

No, I’m sorry about the flash. Ididn’t know.

ANDRE/LOGANOf course. How could you have?

PHIL:

(to Andre/Logan)

You shouldn’t have been drinkingeither.

The group chuckles.

ANDRE/LOGANAs I said I’m feeling much betternow, but you’ll all have toproceed without the aid of mymarvellous wit; the whole thinghas left me a quite a bitexhausted.

DEAN:

Of course.

ANDRE/LOGANIt was nice meeting you.

65.

CHRIS:

Yeah, you too.

Chris is skeptical. Missy shows Phil and Logan out. Andre andPhil leave.

DEAN:

Let’s do sparklers shall we?

Brighten the mood?

He gives Chris and Rose sparklers and to other people wholight them.

ROSE:

Let’s go.

Rose takes Chris’ hand.

MISSY:

Anybody need a drink?

ROSE:

We’re going on a walk.

Rose grabs Chris’ hand and leads him out the front door. Theparty guests in the living room, Dean and Missy included, gosilent. As their sparklers burn they approach the window,

watching Rose and Chris leave the front yard.

EXT. LAKESIDE - AFTERNOON

Rose and Chris walk by the lake. Their sparklers fizzle.

CHRIS:

My cousin is epileptic. Thatwasn’t a seizure.

ROSE:

Honestly? That was one of thestrangest things I’ve ever seen inmy life.

CHRIS:

Also, this is gonna sound weird,

but when he got up in my face likethat, I got the feeling like Iknew that guy.

66.

EXT. BACK YARD. SAME TIME

With Chris and Rose are away, the party guests have allgathered in the back yard facing Dean who stands by a largepicture of Chris on an easel. Everyone is silent.

Dean raises his hand and makes numbers with his fingers:

“Three and three.” Several party guests raise their hands.

Dean points to the Waldens.

This is an auction.

EXT. LAKESIDE - SAME TIME

CHRIS:

Let’s go back home tonight.

ROSE:

What? Wait, no.

CHRIS:

I’m just... Something doesn’t feelright.

ROSE:

You mean with us?

CHRIS:

No. With this whole situation! I

just... I can’t explain but I needyou to trust me. Let’s just go. Itdoesn’t even have to be a bigdeal.

ROSE:

It is a big deal. It’s my family.

I wouldn’t even know what to tell

them.

INT. BACKYARD - SAME TIME

Dean raises his hand again making more numbers with hisfingers: “4, 5.”

Gordon Greene raises his hand. Dean points to him acceptinghis bid.

67.

EXT. LAKESIDE - SAME TIME

ROSE:

Yes, it’s weird. There are a lot

of ways I wish this was goingdifferent. I wish my brotherwasn’t a cock. I wish my parentsfriends were chill; but justbecause it’s tough, it doesn’t

mean you run away...

Rose cries.

CHRIS:

Baby, I-

ROSE:

...I’m late.

CHRIS:

Late?

ROSE:

I should’ve got my period likelast week.

CHRIS:

Oh.

ROSE:

I mean, I did change my birthcontrol, so it could just be that,

but...

Chris thinks silently.

ROSE (CONT’D)

So...?

CHRIS:

I don’t know what to say.

ROSE:

Okay... Try any emotional responsewhatsoever.

He’s silent. Rose wipes her tears.

ROSE (CONT’D)

If you wanna go then go. I’m notgoing to force you to stay but I’mnot leaving.

68.

EXT. BACKYARD - SAME TIME

The auction is flying now. Dean’s hand signals are going fast.

It’s down to three couples.

Dean signals “5, 6.” Mr. Greene raises his hand. Dean points.

Dean signals “5, 8.” Mrs. Deets raises her hand. Dean points.

Dean signals “6.” Jim Hudson raises both his hands and signals“10.” His chauffeur stands beside him whispering in his ear.

Dean points at him.

Dean scans the crowd signalling “10, 2?” “10, 2?” The crowdlooks around. No one is challenging. Dean smiles. Finally Deanbangs his fist onto his open palm and points to Jim Hudson.

Jim’s chauffeur whispers in his ear.

The guests clap in a mixture of delight and disappointment.

EXT. LAKESIDE - DUSK

Chris and Rose sit watching the sunset over the lake. Chriskisses her hand. He hears the faint APPLAUSE in the distance.

He looks in the direction of the house.

CHRIS:

I told you about the night my momdied. How I didn’t call 911;

didn’t go out looking for her.

ROSE:

Baby-

CHRIS:

One hour went by, then two,

three... I just sat there... Ijust watched TV.

ROSE:

It wasn’t your fault-

CHRIS:

I found out later she had survived

the initial hit.

CHRIS (CONT'D)

She laid there bleeding by theside of the road all night, coldand alone. And that’s how she died

in the early morning... Cold andalone. And I was watching TV.

(MORE)

69.

CHRIS (CONT’D)

There was time. If someone was

looking for her, there was time.

But no one was looking.

Chris cries. Rose embraces him.

ROSE:

You were just a kid.

CHRIS:

Yeah... yeah. So, I’m not gonnaleave here without you. I‘m notgoing to abandon you. Never.

They share a moment of pure love.

ROSE:

F*** it. Come on. Let’s go backhome.

CHRIS:

Yeah?

ROSE:

Yeah. I mean, you’re right. Thissucks. I’ll go back with you. I’llmake something up.
