November Criminals Page #7

ADDISON:
(STUTTERS) And what's the address?

(LINE RINGING)

- PHOEBE:
Hey.

- Phoebe! Phoebe. Mike Lorriner.

Write this down, okay? Mike

Lorriner. 9756 Fork Lute Road.

This is the guy who knows

who did it. D. just told me.

Okay. So you already

called the police, right?

No, no, no. It's fine. I'm

just gonna go talk to him.

Addison, don't be

stupid. Do not go there.

Just give the police the

address and let them go.

- Phoebe, I got it covered.

- Addison!

(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING)

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS IN THE DISTANCE)

Hey.

Uh, hi. Are you Mike Lorriner?

- (SIGHS) Who are you?

- Um...

I'm sorry. I don't mean

to bother you, but...

I heard that you knew something

about what happened in D.C.

a few days ago.

You know, the kid who got

shot at the coffee shop.

D.C.? I don't know anything, man.

It's about Kevin Broadus.

Uh, he was a friend of mine.

I don't know what you're talking

about, man. Get out of here.

I heard that he pissed off a drug

dealer or something, and you...

Do you know the guy?

I don't know, I just... I just...

What did I just say to you?

Did you hear me?

I... I said, I... I...

I don't know nothing.

- All right? Now... Now just get...

- All right.

Get off my property.

Okay. Sorry, man. I'll go. I'm leaving.

Hey, wait, wait, wait. Wait.

Who... Who gave you my name?

Who... Who told you to come here?

I'm sorry. It's just a mistake, okay?

Of course it was a mistake.

Who told you?

Uh...

This guy I know, D. Cash. He just...

He said that you were there when...

D. Cash? D. Cash gave you my name?

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

Uh... (CHUCKLES)

Okay. Well, you... You... You tell D. Cash

that he probably shouldn't

be running his mouth.

- You got it?

- Okay.

I'm gonna just go now. Okay?

Whoa, what... What is that?

What is that light?

MIKE:
Are you... are you filming this?

(MIKE LAUGHS)

My man. Are we making a movie?

Well, I... I guess I'm

ready for my close-up.

Look, man.

If you don't know anything,

it's fine. I can just leave.

Do you think I will not use this?

Bang! (CHUCKLES)

That was pretty good, huh?

You don't even know who

that dealer was, do you?

The one your boy Kevin pissed off.

That was D., you idiot.

Oh, he played you.

(CHUCKLES) See, now I'm in a spot.

(STUTTERS) Uh, you know, I... I...

I did that ungrateful a**hole a favor.

And this is the thanks I get?

Well, f*** the both of you.

- (GRUNTS)

- (GUNSHOT)

(PANTING)

Why is that? Well, question

seven on the application asks you

to tell them what your best

and worst qualities are,

but they only give you

three-and-a-half inches.

Three-and-a-half

inches on a page.

I'm sorry, but my worst

qualities took up a lot more

than three-and-a-half

inches.

So I decided to write

a few extra pages.

PHOEBE:
How many?

- ADDISON:
Twenty-two to be exact.

- PHOEBE:
Wow!

- ADDISON:
I realize that might seem a bit excessive.

- PHOEBE:
It does.

ADDISON:
However,

how are you expected

to express the very

essence of your being

and your views on how

insanely crazy this world is

in such a tiny space on a page?

(EXHALES)

He's fine.

- He's very drowsy, but he's stable.

- Okay.

Yeah, he's going to be all right.

(CHUCKLES)

Well...

Hi. Sorry. He's asking for Phoebe.

(CHUCKLES) Okay.

Hmm.

FIONA:
You want some coffee or something?

Coffee? No. (CHUCKLES)

NURSE:
Phoebe's here.

Thank you.

Hi.

Hi.

- You smell nice.

- (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

Did they find Lorriner?

Yeah.

They caught him. Somewhere in Virginia.

He still had the gun on him, Addy.

They think it's the same

gun he used to kill Kevin.

And they got D. Cash and Noel, too.

The Broaduses know.

They know who killed their son.

You talked to them?

Yeah, they came by. (SNIFFLES)

They left that letter for you.

I'm still so mad at you.

I know.

I should thank you.

Why?

Because if it weren't for

you, I'd probably be dead.

Really? Because I totally

thought you had it covered.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

(CAWING)

(WAVES CRASHING)

ADDISON:
Video Diary, day...

I don't even know what day

it is anymore. (CHUCKLES)

But guess what?

Someone must have read

those extra 22 pages

because I got into Chicago.

You know,

these past few months

I've come to realize

that I don't have to

pretend to be okay anymore.

Because for the first

time in a long time,

I am really excited

about the future.

CHOIR:
Amazing

grace, how sweet...

ADDISON:
But at the same time,

it's never easy to say goodbye.

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost

But now...

ADDISON:
Well, I'm...

I'm glad we could stay for that.

Yeah.

I can't believe we're

leaving for college already.

How do you feel?

Well, you know, I just...

I feel weird, I guess.

What are your plans for the holidays?

You think you'll be back?

I don't know.

- I'll... I'll walk you to the door.

- Okay.

- So... I guess...

- Listen.

I... I got you something.

Maybe you can use it.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

Love me, love me

love me, say you do

Let me fly away with you

For my love is like the wind

And wild is the wind

Wild is the wind

Like the leaf clings to the tree

Oh, my darling cling to me

For we're like

creatures in the wind

And wild is the wind

Wild is the wind

Wild is the wind

Wild is the wind

Wild

Is the wind
