Very Bad Things Page #21

BOYD:

Just go home.

MICHAEL, eyeballs Adam. Adam eyeballs him right back. Michael

hits the gas and screeches away.

BOYD:

All right. Let's all go back in.

Adam? You're cool right?

ADAM:

No. I'm not Boyd. I am not cool at

all.

Reluctantly, they start back in.

A hundred or so feet away, Michael's car comes to an abrupt

stop. They all turn. Michael turns his car around, idles for

a moment.

INT. MICHAEL'S CAR

Michael in a trance, staring at the guys watching him.

MICHAEL:

Mr. F***ing Minivan...

He hits the gas.

EXT PARKING LOT:

Wheels spin, rubber burns. The guys watch as Michael speeds

full throttle, like a battering ram, right at Adam's beloved

minivan.

ADAM:

NOOOO!!!!

Adam jumps between the minivan and Michael's car.

INT. MICHAEL'S CAR

Michael's expression turns to horror. He slams on the brakes,

but it's too late.

EXT. PARKING LOT

Michael's car crushes Adam like a sandwich meat between his

car and the minivan. Metal, flesh, severed limbs, Adam

explodes like a gnat.

CUT TO:

THE HORRIFIED EXPRESSIONS OF BOYD, MOORE AND FISHER

INT. UCLA EMERGENCY - WAITING ROOM

Chaos. The room is filled with people from the Rehearsal

Dinner.

Black-eyed, nose broken, LOIS sobs, surrounded by her kids

and Liz.

Boyd and Fisher talk to the POLICE.

BOYD:

It was just a crazy freak accident.

He thought the car was in reverse...

He didn't realize.

The COP takes notes.

MICHAEL sits in a corner by himself. Ghost white. Trembling.

COP:

Was there some sort of an argument?

FISHER:

No. Nothing like that.

COP:

We heard there was some arguing going

on. Some loud talk.

BOYD:

No. No. We were just all outside

just talking.

COP:

What were you talking about?

BOYD:

The wedding. We were talking bout

how it was going to be one of the

last times for us to all be together

with Fisher not being married...

COP:

A lot of people seem to think there

was some hostility out there.

BOYD:

(getting righteous)

Well I can't really comment on what

"a lot of people" thought. I can

only tell you that we had a horrible

accident here and were all feeling

extremely traumatized and your

questions are a bit poorly timed.

We're in full on grieving mode right

now thank you very much Officer...

Randone.

FISHER:

Easy Boyd.

BOYD:

No easy Boyd! I got a best friend in

there in pieces. How about a little

sensitivity?

Boyd storms off, goes and sits with Michael. Fisher stays

with the cop.

COP:

That's all I wanted to know.

A DOCTOR appears in the doorway.

DOCTOR:

His situation is critical. He's asking

to speak to his wife.

SHOTS of the guys eyeing each other nervously as Lois slowly

gets up and follows the Doctor into a treatment room.

The guys move to the door, where they can see Lois, leaning

over the hospital bed, talking to Adam.

POV GUYS:

Adam hooked up to dozens of wires, etc...

Lois leans over to kiss him. Adam appears to be whispering

something to her.

ON THE GUYS:

Watching Adam speak to Lois... Nervous.

POV GUYS:

Lois has her ear to Adam's mouth. He is clearly speaking to

her. Lois is sobbing when... ALARMS GO OFF IN ADAM'S ROOM.

A MEDICAL TEAM rushes into the room. Adam is a v-tach --

Heart's not beating. The team injects medicine, defribulates.

Lois watches in horror as her husband dies in front of her...

Finally a DOCTOR calls time of death.

Lois collapses on the floor.

WAITING ROOM:

The guys have witnessed Adam's death. Michael turns in horror.

Boyd, Fisher and Moore stare. Liz rushes to Fisher, throws

her arms around him, overcome with grief.

INT. DENNY'S - LATE NIGHT

Fisher, Boyd, Moore and Michael eat eggs.

BOYD:

The need to know is clear. What did

Adam tell Lois? That's the name of

the game. What did Adam tell Lois?

What does Lois know?

MICHAEL:

Ball park sausages.

BOYD:

You want some breakfast meat, Michael.

Is that what you want?

MICHAEL:

(clearly starting to

crack)

Franco Harris has a flare for the

dramatic. The former Pittsburgh

Steeler running back, beat known for

"The Immaculate Reception," his

improbable sixty yard Ricochet

Reception. I say Ricochet Reception

has made a bold move on corporate

America.

(inappropriately loud)

Harris has lead a group of investors

in the purchase of the Park Sausage

Company. By taking on the challenge

of resurrecting Park's, Harris is

engaged in the equivalent of a sudden

death overtime.
