Can we ask him questions?
DEAN
(Japanese)
Of course.
HIROKI
Do you find that being African American has more advantages or disadvantages in the modern world?
Chris pans the crowd who all give him their undivided attention. The silence is long. Chris sighs. He looks for Rose. She is off talking to someone.
CHRIS
Yeah, I don’t know, man.
They all smile like hungry vampires. Chris is very uncomfortable with this unprovoked group interrogation. Andre/Logan and Phil approach.
CHRIS (CONT’D)
That’s actually a great question. Logan! They were asking me about the African American experience. Maybe you could take this one.
Andre/Logan is a little caught off guard but dives in.
ANDRE/LOGAN
My life as an African American has been, for the most part, very good. It’s hard to be too specific as I haven’t much desired to leave the house in a while.
The crowd chuckles. Chris takes out his phone.
PHIL
We’ve become homebodies……
ANDRE/LOGAN
(To Phil)
But recently, even when you go to the city, I’ve just had no interest. (To the group) The chores are my sanctu--
With the attention on Andre/Logan, Chris subtly backs away from the conversation. He raises his phone toward Andre/Logan and the group and snaps a picture. The FLASH POPS.
CHRIS
Shit.
Everyone turns to Chris. Andre/Logan steps forward and looks at Chris oddly; His head cocks a little and his peaceful expression drifts slowly to maddened horror. Some of the party
guests gasp.
PHIL
Logan?
Andre/Logan drops his glass and stumbles towards Chris. Chris backs up, but Andre is already up in his space.
ANDRE
Get out.
Andre/Logan’s voice is higher and scratchy, like it was in the first scene.
CHRIS
Hey, man, I’m sorry, I--
Andre/Logan grabs Chris by the shoulders and screams shrilly. Blood trickles out of his nose.
ANDRE
GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!!!!
Phil and Jeremy grab Andre. They have to pry Andre/Logan’s grip off of Chris. When they do Andre/Logan screams bloodcurdlingly. It takes all their strength to bring him into the house. Missy and Dean follow.
INT. LIVING ROOM - AFTERNOON
Rose sits on the couch. She’s been crying. Chris comforts her but is clearly traumatised. A few other concerned guests mill around. Dean enters everyone gives him their attention.
ROSE
What the Hell was that?
DEAN
It was a seizure.
ROSE
A seizure?
DEAN
Yes. Logan’s okay. Missy’s with him now. Are you okay Chris?
CHRIS
Yeah. Why did he come at me like that?
ROSE
Yeah seizures don’t make people attack people, I’m sorry.
DEAN
It was an abnormal manifestation but yes, actually, sometimes they do. The flash on your phone must have triggered it.
Andre/Logan enters with stands with Missy and Phil to a smattering of concerned applause.
He addresses a group in his lower pitched “Logan” voice.
ANDRE/LOGAN
Well, I do believe I owe you all an apology.
The group grumbles.
MISSY
We’re just glad you’re feeling yourself again.
ANDRE/LOGAN
Well yes I am. It’s quite like being trapped in a dark room and watching my experiences through a window. Thank God you and Dean were here to calm me down.
DEAN
It’s a simple glitch of the brain. Nothing to be afraid of.
ANDRE/LOGAN
I know I scared you all quite a bit…… especially you Chris.
CHRIS
No, I’m sorry about the flash. I didn’t know.
ANDRE/LOGAN
Of course. How could you have?
PHIL
(to Andre/Logan)
You shouldn’t have been drinking either.
The group chuckles.
ANDRE/LOGAN
DEAN
