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. Dude 1 kicks open the door. He starts firing
Dude 2 falls. A mist of red puff spurts from his chest. He's screaming
Dude 1 turns to The Boy and points his gun at him. The Boy sits motionless. His face is a mix of confusion and curiosity
Dude 1: Get up
The Boy stands slowly. Dude 2 is still screaming on the ground. Dude 1 looks away from The Boy and walks over to Dude 2 and stands over him. Without saying anything, Dude 1 fires another bullet into Dude 2's head. As Dude 1 pulls the trigger, The Boy flinches
Dude 1 looks back at The Boy and motions for the door with his gun
Dude 1: Let's go
The Boy and Dude 1 walk outside. We see another man, DUDE 3, loading the last of the bricks into the trunk of a black SUV. (Dude 3 was one of the men that was waiting for The Boy at the house)
Dude 3 closes the trunk and gets in the driver's seat. The Boy notices the last man that was waiting for him, DUDE 4, on the phone. The Boy and Dude 1 get in the back seat
Dude 4 hangs up the phone and gets in shotgun
They drive away
EXT: DOCKWEILER BEACH
The black SUV pulls up to the beach. There is one other car there. All four of the men get out the SUV
Dude 1: (to The Boy) Go to the beach
The Boy walks down to the shoreline. The other car opens up on the driver's seat, and Fam gets out of the car. He is wearing a wetsuit and holding 2 boards and a different wetsuit. Fam walks down to meet The Boy at the shoreline
The Boy: Fam?
Fam: Put this on
Fam hands The Boy the wetsuit. He puts it on
...roscoe's Wetsuit
Fam hands the boy the one of the boards, and takes the other one and starts walking into the ocean. The Boy follows silently
They paddle out into the waves and sit up on their boards. They both look straight ahead to the horizon
Fam: How long have you wanted to k** yourself?
The Boy: What?
Fam: Don't lie to me. You've been depressed as long as you can remember. These jobs are just a way to get you so stressed out that you can't think about anything else
The Boy: I was going to do it earlier, but...
Fam: You met Naomi
The Boy nods. He looks ashamed
Fam: Is there anything that makes you happy?
The Boy: Her
They silently look on. The opening cords from "Melrose" play softly, almost inaudible against the waves
Fam: Let's surf
EXT: DOCKWEILER BEACH - NIGHT
The Boy and Marcus are seen smoking a blunt while sitting on the beach. Their boards are sitting next to them. The men are still waiting outside the black SUV
Marcus: Those men are going to take us away
The Boy nods, as if he already knew this
Marcus: What do you think the best way to die is?
The Boy: (Looking out to the water) Drowning
Marcus: I don't think they could see us if we went back out into the ocean
The Boy turns and looks at him, and then slowly stands. He grabs his board and walks into the ocean. Marcus stays seated, watching The Boy walk. Then, when he can't be seen anymore, Marcus gets up, grabs his board, and walks back to the men
THE END
