S. Darko Page #3

Synopsis: July, 1995, the time is out of joint. Two teen girls, Sam and Corey, have left Virginia for L.A. to start over. Sam's brother has died and her family's shattered; Corey's too wild. They have car trouble in a small desert town, where Corey immediately starts her partying ways, where a meteorite strikes a windmill, and where a burned-out Desert Storm vet predicts the end of the world in four days. Sam hallucinates while sleepwalking, young men have disappeared from town, and cars come out of nowhere to cause accidents. Time travel may be possible, but it takes courage and resolve. Is the addled war veteran right? If he is, can Corey or Sam make things right?

Oh, hey.

Somebody burned down the-

Somebody burned down the church.

- I know.

- Yeah, it's pretty uncool, you know.

Uh, Pastor Johns a great guy.

- Why?

- He went to prison.

You know, he reinvented himself,

uh, started a new life.

Helps kids with problems.

I still- I still

never got your name.

It's Sam.

Jeremy. Jeremy Frame.

Got it.

- So, what are you up to?

- Um, trying to get money out.

Kind of unsuccessfully.

Oh, uh, still got that 20?

I gave it to the motel.

Well, you know, if you, um,

talk to Phil long enough...

about U.F.O.'s,

he won't even charge you.

Just don't say anything

about my meteorite.

He's still pretty pissed

I got my hands on it first.

Mmm. I- I think I'd rather pay.

Are you leaving?

- Thanks anyways.

- Oh. Yeah.

Hi.

- Hey. What happened to you last night?

- What happened to you?

Passed out at Randy's.

You should've stayed longer.

Want a beer?

No. I want to get out of this place.

Did you find that water pump?

Think so.

I haven't put it in yet.

- Why not?

- Because we're having fun.

Drinking warm beer

and dry-humping to Journey?

Boo-yah.

- Do you have something better to do?

- I thought we both did.

Well, it really doesn't matter

what you think.

You know, maybe I do have

better things to do.

What, like try to

off yourself again?

You can sleepwalk back to Virginia

for all I care.

- You going after her?

- What?

- Pretty harsh words.

- Says the small-town drunk.

- Get out.

- Get the f*** out!

Sam!

Well, you're a lucky girl-

got out of that car when you did.

Could've been two dead today

instead of just one.

Now...

you and I both know

that Randy had been drinkin'.

But we also know

that he's not at fault here.

How do you explain the car

that came out of nowhere?

How do you explain midgets or sock monkeys?

I don't know.

Sh*t happens.

Been running through

a battleground

My head was low

and my eyes stayed down

My pace was slow

Any chances it drowned

They were slim

Been sinking slowly

into the mire

Found myself lost

in enemy fire

I'm too young to be trapped

by the wire

That's within

I can't afford to dream

on the battleground

Nothing's left unseen

on the battleground

There once was a unicorn named Ariel.

Ariel was the most beautiful

unicorn in the world.

Ariel was discovered

by a prince named Justin...

and the prince was led into a world

of strange and beautiful magic.

Nobody could see

how beautiful she was...

because she was invisible-

invisible to everyone except Justin.

Wake up.

Come closer.

Closer.

- Why can't I touch you?

- 'Cause we'll explode.

You shouldn't be here.

Nobody should.

I just want Sam back.

Sam is dead.

But you can find her.

It's already begun.

You don't have much time.

I thought you'd be gone.

Where?

Anywhere.

You, uh-You want a smoke?

I am so f***in' sorry.

I know.

I heard you signed the police report.

Said I wasn't drinking. Why?

Ruining your life won't bring Sam back,

would it?

Make things right.

You believe in spooky sh*t?

- What, like Satan?

- Like ghosts.

I don't not believe in them,

but I've never seen one.

I said some pretty mean things

to Sam before she died.

Think we're bad people?

Not bad.

I'd say medium.

I'm sorry.

I think I'm supposed

to find Billy Moorcroft.

Find him where?

I don't know, but I saw him.

At the car accident.

At the motel.

And it's like-

All I can think is it's just guilt.

What did he say?

I don't remember.

It's like I was trippin' or something.

I got this acid one time-

this Flying Eagle Pyramid sh*t.

I took two hits, and-

There was this glowing grid

cutting through my brain, and-

You know, I knew when it

got all the way through...

that I'd just be, like,

this sketched-out vegetable.

The whole time, my esophagus was

twisting and turning in my throat.

I can slip back into it

now and again.

But that's, like, a gift

and a curse.

'Cause that means you gotta

figure out what's real and what's not.

It's, like, you have to decide.

Maybe this is all a nightmare

and we'll just wake up.

I'd do anything

to take it all back...

just start over.

That's about as real as it gets.

There's gotta be some connection...

between what happened

to Sam and Donnie.

That was Sam's brother?

She didn't mention him to me.

Why would she?

I told her about me, about my brother.

I thought that she-

She never talked

to anybody about it.

What about her parents?

They treated her like she wasn't enough

for them to love.

She told me she thought

her brother was the lucky one.

Everyone would remember him

and love him forever.

Like he had the easy way out.

You believe in second chances?

I believe in "life sucks

and then you die."

It's time.

Bring your water.

Do you miss Sam?

Where is she?

Do you miss her?

Yes.

Here it comes.

What would you do to get her back?

Anything.

You're almost there.

Inside?

You have to go.

They won't let you do

whatever you want.

This is your last chance.

Are you coming with me?

That's impossible.

I'd do anything to take it all back.

Just start over.

Hey.

Hey. What happened to you?

You should've stayed longer.

Want a beer?

No. I want to get out of this place.

Did you find that water pump?

Think so.

I haven't put it in yet.

The motel guy came to the room

this morning.

- I don't give a damn.

- Dude, we can't afford another day.

I can't do this.

What's wrong?

I lied to you.

My dad doesn't...

know we're here.

He doesn't- He doesn't even

really know that I exist.

So, what-what now?

I don't know.

Maybe we get matching mullets...

couple of tramp stamps.

Put Randy in stud.

Park here for a lifetime or so.

Or...

you can go and do something

totally f***ing amazing.

What about you?

I got my own plans.

We're so perfect.

Immaculate.

I've never seen you

when you're smiling

It really gets

under my skin

You say it's easy

when it's faster

I still can't guess

what you're after

It's the color of your skin

Your skin is black metallic

It's the color of your skin

Your skin is black metallic

Your skin is black metallic

Your skin is black metallic

Why did you show me this?

Do you want to know

what happens when you die?

Yes.

You will. I died for you.

Will you do the same?

Donnie liked to draw.

It hurts.

Remember the future.

You need to get to higher ground.

- You like it? We just got that in.

- You work here?

My parents' store.

Hey. I-I'm really sorry about Corey.

I understand that you don't want

to talk about it, but I believe...

that everything happens

for a reason...

and-and I know

that for every action...

- there is an equal and opposite reaction.

- I went to high school.

Then you know that everything

is in constant motion.

Like, right now,

the universe is expanding.

And we're flying through space...

at millions of miles per hour,

like a spaceship.

And eventually it's just gonna grow so big

that it'll freeze and die...

and then nothing we do
