Wilson Page #6

PIPPI:
Wilson...

(SOBBING) ...I lost it.

WILSON:
Pippi?

OFFICER:
Come on, let's go.

Pippi, what's going on?

PIPPI:
Just don't

say anything.

Polly!

It's called kidnapping!

OFFICER:
Sit down.

(POLICE RADIO CHATTER)

Pippi?

Claire?

(CAR ENGINE STARTING)

(SIREN WAILING)

This is nuts!

She's my daughter. How

could this be kidnapping?

Well, the parents

are pretty P.O'-ed.

It's hard to blame them.

She is just 17.

Whose side are you on?

Don't worry.

We'll let them cool down

and then we'll work

something out.

You got a clean record.

What about Pippi?

Did they charge her

with something?

I don't know.

I heard they offered

her some deal.

Damn it! Ahh!

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

(MAN YELLING INDISTINCTLY)

What are you looking at?

That is quite a tattoo.

Mmm. How's that?

It's like the ultimate

argument ender.

Like, "No, I don't want

your f***ing job. In fact...

(CLEARS THROAT) "I want to

destroy your entire society.

"F*** you."

(CHUCKLING)

What'd you say, b*tch?

(STAMMERING)

No, I'm not... I like it.

It's like an acknowledgment

to a whole other generation...

(GROANS)

(GRUNTING)

Whoa, whoa!

(TASER CRACKLING)

Ahh!

(DOOR ALARM BUZZES)

(DOOR CLOSES)

Hi.

(WILSON SIGHS)

(INDISTINCT ANNOUNCEMEN ON PA)

PRIEST:
It doesn't matter if

you're out of here 20 years,

living on an island.

You will never be

truly free until

you've been washed

in the blood of the Lamb.

A believer stuck 10

years in the shoe...

is freer than any man

who disdains the Word.

WILSON:
Mmm.

That is beautiful,

beautiful stuff.

Have you always been a...

God-fearing man, Pastor?

I've tried to be.

Oh, what a gift.

I wish my parents

had done that for me.

I've spent so much time

trying to make sense of it all.

Well, it's never too late.

(CHUCKLES)

Well, yeah, I guess.

I mean, at a certain point...

no rational man's gonna buy into

all this crazy mumbo jumbo.

Let's be realistic.

You got to have it ingrained...

before you develop

any real sense of, you know...

reason.

I mean, unless you...

get brain damage or something.

(LAUGHING)

Yeah.

(INDISTINCT ANNOUNCEMEN ON PA)

Oh, hello, brother.

(GRUNTING)

WILSON:
"The Lord is my

shepherd; "I shall not want."

"He maketh me lie down

in green pastures."

He maketh me lie down

in green pastures.

"He leadeth me

beside the still waters."

He leadeth me

beside the still waters.

"He restoreth my soul."

He restoreth my soul.

So I grabbed this a**hole

by the lapels...

and I said, "Look, I don't

care if you are a nun...

"I'm gonna f***ing,

sh*t, f***ing punch..."

F***, yeah!

(ALL CHEERING)

Wassup, bro?

Hey.

How you doing, man?

You staying out of trouble?

MAN:
Yo, Wilson!

Wassup, man?

Hey, man.

Wassup, hippie? Hey.

How's my favorite hippie?

Hey, don't eat

the chocolate cake.

Gave me the shits earlier.

There's more pieces than

there is puzzle left. Look.

These are that color

and there ain't no

blanks in that color.

GUARD:
Hey, Wilson!

You got a visitor.

A what?

(DOOR CLOSES)

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

I can't believe it's you.

It's me.

It's two and a half years.

I never heard a word.

I, uh...

I tried to get

my lawyer to find you.

I even tried

to go through Polly.

Oh, she was on the Warpath.

I have thought of you every day.

A thousand times.

I'm sorry, Wilson.

I was just, uh...

It got really bad.

I knew there was a reason.

I'm sorry,

I'm... I'm so happy.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

When Claire turned on

me at the trial...

I don't think

I've ever been more devastated.

I just thank you for not

testifying against me.

Yeah, but I should've been

up there fighting for you.

(MUTTERING)

I wondered about that.

I could've been there

for you, and I...

I totally failed you, Wilson.

But you're here now.

I am.

And I have to thank you, Wilson.

You believed in me

when nobody else ever did.

Oh, Pippi.

Now that I'm pulling it

together here...

I feel like I'm ready

for an actual relationship.

(LAUGHING)

And that's why...

Tucker and I are

moving to Australia.

(GASPS)

(STAMMERS)

What did...?

(LAUGHS)

I just... Could you...?

Did you...? Did you...?

Tucker?

Yeah, my sponsor.

Or he was my sponsor.

I know that sounds

really bad, right?

But we went through a lot.

So...

I think you'd like him, Wilson.

Yeah, I'm sure I...

I'm sure I would.

Hey-

Maybe we don't have to

be miserable forever.

(PIPPI CHUCKLES)

Maybe we could find our

way to being happy.

(BOTH SNIFFLE)

Pippi?

(DOOR OPENS)

(WILSON SOBBING)

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

What the f***

are you looking at?

(SHUSHING)

Thank you.

So...

What's been going on

in the world?

I don't know. Nothing.

Tell me, friend, have you

heard the good news?

Oh, no, I'm...

No, thanks.

I'm just f***ing with you!

(LAUGHING)

Jesus doesn't give a sh*t.

No, I just got out of prison.

36 months hard time with

the lowest scum imaginable.

Oh... But I made it

out the other end.

Yeah.

Insert ass-rape

joke here.

(LAUGHING)

I'm not gonna, you know,

slice your throat

for a deck of smokes.

I'm all done with that life.

Are you headed to school?

Yeah.

Yeah? Oh, good for you.

Good boy.

Yeah, I'm just headed home.

Just me and a mangy old

dog, if she even...

remembers me.

That's her.

Oh, sorry... That's my ex.

(CHUCKLES)

(CHUCKLES)

No, here's the dog.

Oh, she's cool.

It's so nice

talking with someone

who isn't f***ing psychotic!

You know?

We got a nice long

journey ahead of us.

Yeah, a couple of hours.

Yeah.

"Cyndi's Cupcakery?"

What happened

to the used bookstore?

(EXHALES)

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)

SHELLY:
Is that you,

Diana?

It's me, Wilson.

Pepper's dad!

Hi.

You can't believe what

happened to me, Shelly.

(SIGHS)

Um...

Where's all your dog stuff?

Well, I'm not sitting anymore.

So where is she?

Pepper?

Well, Wilson...

even when I stopped sitting,

Pepper was the only dog I kept.

She was such

a wonderful little girl.

Was?

I'm sorry.

(SIGHS)

She got so sick, Wilson.

And in the end

she could barely even...

She could barely

even lift her little head.

(WAILING)

I tried to find you. I did.

And someone said that

you were in jail, and I just...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Pepper.

(AFFECTIONATELY) I'll never

use this voice again.

WILSON:
Good-bye, Pepper.

You were a true friend.

Every minute in your

presence was a blessing

and your joy

over the simplest of

pleasures was humbling

and inspirational.

You were the pride

of the neighborhood,

the brightener

of a thousand days.

To see a stranger's eyes tear

at the memory of a similar pet

is to know the inherent

goodness of your kind.

You...

Urinated.

urinated...

on my address book

and chewed up two sofas...

Three.

Three, but...

(SNIFFLES)

in doing so, you taught us

the utter worthlessness

of those things.

We celebrate you, Pepper.

(CRYING) You and all your

brothers and sisters

in the animal family.

We vow to honor

and protect your kind

and oppose

with all our heart those...
