大学  清洁工  问题少年  励志  奥斯卡最佳原创剧本奖  原版剧本  美国

　　And this Samoan guy comes runnin’’
　　out of his house and he’’s like "What
　　the fuck are you doing to my cat？!"
　　Mikey’’s like "I’’m sorry"--BANG--" I hit
　　your cat with my truck， and I’’m just
　　trying to put it out of it’’s misery"--
　　BANG! And the cat dies. So Mikey’’s
　　like "Why don’’t you come look at the
　　front of the truck." ’’Cause the other
　　guy’’s all fuckin flipped out about--
　　
　　WILL
　　Watching his cat get brained.
　　
　　Morgan gives Will a look， but Will only smiles.
　　
　　CHUCKIE
　　Yeah， so he’’s like "Check the front of
　　my truck， I can prove I hit it ’’cause
　　there’’s probably some blood or
　　something"--
　　
　　WILL
　　--or a tail--
　　
　　MORGAN
　　WILL!
　　
　　CHUCKIE
　　And so they go around to the front of
　　his truck……and there’’s another cat on
　　the grille.
　　
　　WILL/MORGAN/BILLY
　　No! Ugh!
　　
　　CHUCKIE
　　Is that unbelievable？ He brained an
　　innocent cat!
　　
　　BLACKOUT:
　　
　　The opening credits roll over a series of shots of the city
　　and the real people who live and work there， going about their
　　daily lives.
　　
　　We see a panoramic view of South Boston.
　　
　　Will sits in his apartment， walls completely bare. A bed， a
　　small night table and an empty basket adorn the room. A
　　stack of twenty or so LIBRARY BOOKS sit by his bed. He is
　　flipping through a book at about a page a second.
　　
　　Chuckie stands on the porch to Will’’s house. His Caddilac
　　idles by the curb. Will comes out and they get in the car.
　　
　　We travel across crowded public housing and onto downtown.
　　Finally， we gaze across the river and onto the great cement-
　　domed buildings that make up the M.I.T. campus.
　　
　　CUT TO:
　　
　　INT. M.I.T. CLASSROOM -- DAY
　　
　　The classroom is packed with graduate students and TOM.
　　PROFESSOR LAMBEAU （52） is at the lectern. The chalkboard behind
　　him is covered with theorems.
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　Please finish McKinley by next month.
　　Many of you probably had this as
　　undergraduates in real analysis. It
　　won’’t hurt to brush up. I am also
　　putting an advanced fourier system on the
　　main hallway chalkboard--
　　
　　Everyone groans.
　　
　　LAMBEAU （cont’’d）
　　I’’m hoping that one of you might prove
　　it by the end of the semester. The
　　first person to do so will not only be
　　in my good graces， but go on to fame
　　and fortune by having their
　　accomplishment recorded and their name
　　printed in the auspicious "M.I.T. Tech."
　　
　　Prof. Lambeau holds up a thin publication entitled "M.I.T.
　　Tech." Everyone laughs.
　　
　　LAMBEAU （cont’’d）
　　Former winners include Nobel Laureates，
　　world renowned astro-physicists， Field’’s
　　Medal winners and lowly M.I.T.
　　professors.
　　
　　More laughs.
　　
　　LAMBEAU （cont’’d）
　　Okay. That is all.
　　
　　A smattering of applause. Students pack their bags.
　　
　　CUT TO:
　　
　　INT. FUNLAND -- LATER
　　The place is a monster indoor funpark. Will， Chuckie， Morgan，
　　and Billy are in adjoining batting cages. Will has disabled
　　the pitching machine in his and pitches to Chuckie. The boys
　　have been drinking. Will throws one to Chuckie， high and tight.
　　Several empty beer cans sit by the cage.
　　
　　CHUCKIE
　　Will!
　　
　　Another pitch， inside.
　　
　　CHUCKIE （cont’’d）
　　You’’re gonna get charged!
　　WILL
