The Education of Charlie Banks Page #8

That's pretty impressive.

- Now let us finish our conversation.

- No, she's coming with me.

- Charlie:
Mary. Come on.

- Oh, nice. That's pretty impressive.

- Mary:
Charlie.

- Oh, you're really on a roll, Charlie.

- Charlie, help. Mick, no!

- Well, let me tell you something.

- Charlie:
What? What?

- Come here. Come here.

I just want to tell you

one thing-- just one thing.

I already knew it was you

who went to the cops.

- Come on, Mick.

- No no, I knew it

the moment you walked in your room

and saw me there,

just like a big neon sign saying,

"lt was me, Mick. It was me."

So f*** you

and f*** your big confession.

But you know what, Charlie?

What?

You were the first rat

I was ever willing to forgive,

the first one.

You want to know why?

Yeah, why?

Because you made me feel hope.

- I know I did.

- Yeah.

Because the two of you

made me believe

that I could be forgiven.

Yeah, I know.

(laughs, groans)

You know,

I believed it too, Mick.

I did until today.

(exhales)

You are a cold little b*tch, Charlie.

- What the f*** are you doing?

- Come on, Charlie.

- What the f*** are you doing?

- This is it. This is your big moment.

Mary:
Mick, stop!

Please stop.

(Mick chuckles)

Charlie, are you all right?

Okay. Okay, Charlie.

Stop it. Charlie. Charlie.

- Shut the f*** up.

- (screams)

(bell dinging)

(Mary sobbing)

(distant sirens wailing)

Charlie.

Charlie's voice:

Danny called the cops.

We found out Mick was lying.

Louis Kennet didn't have a gun.

But Mick got away.

He jumped in the river, let it

sweep him south back toward the city.

And he disappeared

into the underworld.

I've always thought

that night at the marina

was truly Mick's

graduation ceremony.

I mean, he showed mercy

for the first and maybe

the only time in his life.
