- 作品正文
As I said I’m feeling much better now, but you’ll all have to proceed without the aid of my
marvellous wit; the whole thing has left me a quite a bit exhausted.
DEAN
Of course.
ANDRE/LOGAN
It was nice meeting you.
CHRIS
Yeah, you too.
Chris is skeptical. Missy shows Phil and Logan out. Andre and Phil leave.
DEAN
Let’s do sparklers shall we? Brighten the mood?
He gives Chris and Rose sparklers and to other people who light them.
ROSE
Let’s go.
Rose takes Chris’ hand.
MISSY
Anybody need a drink?
ROSE
We’re going on a walk.
Rose grabs Chris’ hand and leads him out the front door. Theparty guests in the living room, Dean and Missy included, go silent. As their sparklers burn they approach the window,
watching Rose and Chris leave the front yard.
EXT. LAKESIDE - AFTERNOON
Rose and Chris walk by the lake. Their sparklers fizzle.
CHRIS
My cousin is epileptic. That wasn’t a seizure.
ROSE
Honestly? That was one of the strangest things I’ve ever seen in my life.
CHRIS
Also, this is gonna sound weird, but when he got up in my face like that, I got the feeling like I knew that guy.
EXT. BACK YARD. SAME TIME
With Chris and Rose are away, the party guests have all gathered in the back yard facing Dean who stands by a large picture of Chris on an easel. Everyone is silent.
Dean raises his hand and makes numbers with his fingers: “Three and three.” Several party guests raise their hands. Dean points to the Waldens.
This is an auction.
EXT. LAKESIDE - SAME TIME
CHRIS
Let’s go back home tonight.
ROSE
What? Wait, no.
CHRIS
I’m just…… Something doesn’t feel right.
ROSE
You mean with us?
CHRIS
No. With this whole situation! I just…… I can’t explain but I need you to trust me. Let’s just go. It doesn’t even have to be a big deal.
ROSE
It is a big deal. It’s my family. I wouldn’t even know what to tell them.
INT. BACKYARD - SAME TIME
Dean raises his hand again making more numbers with his fingers: “4, 5.”
Gordon Greene raises his hand. Dean points to him accepting his bid.
EXT. LAKESIDE - SAME TIME
ROSE
Yes, it’s weird. There are a lot of ways I wish this was going different. I wish my brother
wasn’t a cock. I wish my parents friends were chill; but just because it’s tough, it doesn’t
mean you run away……
Rose cries.
CHRIS
Baby, I--
ROSE
……I’m late.
CHRIS
Late?
ROSE
I should’ve got my period like
last week.
CHRIS
Oh.
ROSE
I mean, I did change my birth control, so it could just be that, but……
Chris thinks silently.
ROSE (CONT’D)
So……?
CHRIS
I don’t know what to say.
ROSE
Okay…… Try any emotional response whatsoever.
He’s silent. Rose wipes her tears.
