Ride Along Page #21

Kevin:

You’ve done all you can.

Thompson:

NO! Just hold still. They’ll get you.

More loud snaps. The building starts to shift. Kevin reaches up

and grabs Thompson’s hand with both of his.

Kevin:

Until next time, my friend.

Thompson looks at Kevin, tears welling up in his eyes. Kevin

releases Thompson’s hand.

The building suddenly starts to crumble for good. Miller runs

and pulls Thompson out of the hole, and away from the house. The

second floor caves in on the first, and the first caves in on

the basement. The building is no more, just a giant mound of

rubble.

117. SHOTS OF THE IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN KEVIN’S LIFE.

Cut between these shots, no sound:

Mr. Broman is at a desk, typing on a computer.

Kacie and Stella are at a restaurant, having a good time.

Mrs. Starr is watching a TV show.

Annabel is on an operating table.

Kate Prestman is feeding her baby in his highchair.

Chloe is on her knees seeing if Kevin’s phone fell under the

seat in the back. You see her stop, get up, and walk towards the

ambulance door. She stops in the doorway and looks at what just

happened with horror on her face. She walks towards the scene,

camera never showing the collapsed cottage. Miller walks over to

Chloe, but she waves her off with her hand. Finally the camera

turns to the cottage. It’s gone, all collapsed. Debris is

everywhere. Chloe looks over at Thompson. He’s sitting on his

butt, leaning back on his elbows, in a defeated way. He turns to

Chloe, eyes red, and tears down his face. Chloe walks over to

him and sits right beside him, and leans on him. Thompson

extends his hand to Chloe. There is a glove on it. She grabs it,

un-crumples it, and reads it:

Chloe,

Always be exceptional.

Love Kevin.

She turns to Thompson, and then back at the glove. They cry

together.

118. INT. STREET OF ACCIDENT- DUSK.

Later Chloe, now with a blanket around her shoulders, is sitting

on the ground, leaning against ambulance 96, tight grasping the

message glove.

119. INT. ENDING SCENE FLASHBACK- DAY.

Cut to earlier in the day. Kevin and Chloe are in his car.

Chloe:

Alright. Shall we take a moment to

plead with God to allow two of his

children to get hurt, so that we may

both get our tenth calls?

Kevin:

I think your mean plead with Satan.

Chloe:

If that’s what it takes.

Kevin laugh.

Kevin:

Relax, we’ll get ten. Just think, we

get certified in three days, graduate

high school in a few weeks, apply for a

career as EMTs-

Chloe:

After I file harassment against

Delmonico.

Kevin:

Yes after that, and then…

Chloe:

And then we be the preceptors for some

poor souls.

Kevin:

Ha! We’d be the greatest duo ever. And

then after that we spend years rising

the ranks. Maybe get our paramedic

license.

Chloe:

And then why don’t we just be the

bosses. We’re going to run this county

one day.

Kevin:

No, you’ll be running this county.

Chloe:

Well, yes, but you can be my. . .

secretary or something.

FADE TO WHITE.
