Tekst piosenki
Tires SCREECH outside. Dude 2 stands up. There’s a small crash outside
Yelling
VOICE: FREEZE!
GUNSHOTS
The Boy and Dude 2 look at each other
_________________________________________________________________
Gunshots/commotion are heard as these scenes of a small boy (we assume
The Boy) play:
A small boy running fearfully behind the mansion Buddha statue
CUT TO:
Him emptying an urn over a bridge. Ashes fall like snowflakes into dark water
CUT TO:
Three girls hauntingly towering over him. Their laughing faces, warped like
Fun house mirror reflections
CUT TO:
INT. MANSION – PRESENT
The Boy, in the foyer, is shot from behind. He falls. His head connects
With Buddha’s stone belly
INT. HOSPITAL – DAY
…what’s that sound?…
NAOMI:
You’re lucky
…why’s that?…
NAOMI:
You’re still here after two
Near death experiences
…what do you mean?…
NAOMI:
We had something didn’t we?
(then)
Say something
…you’re not listeni-
The boy realizes he isn’t speaking. He imagines Naomi the way she always
Looks on the couch watching China, IL. In reality she’s sitting on his hospital bed wearing his coat; absentmindedly fingering the hole in it with one hand
Touching his arm with the other. There’s a beeping sound
He’s hooked up to machines-in a coma
NAOMI:
[EDIT] I can’t do this forever…
Naomi kisses his forehead and squeezes his arm before solemnly leaving
For the last time
He struggles to focus his thoughts
INT. HOSPITAL – NIGHT
Fam and Steve stand over The Boy
FAM: (to Steve)
You think he knows he was my best friend?
…was?
Steve gives an [UNDECIDED EMOJI] face :/ it’s vaguely empathetic
FAM:
Should’ve told him… never know now
…never?
INT. HOSPITAL – MORNING
The boy hears doctors discussing him outside his room; 3005
Something about no family and life support?
CUT TO:
Aerial view of The Boy’s bed
…it’s over?…
…It’s over….
He understands everything now. A doctor approaches
He recalls Naomi, “It’s all a cycle.”
The plug is pulled.
…death feels like cold wa-
He ends
