Sure.
MCKENZIE
SARAH
Hey!
Sarah and Martin are delighted at this coincidence. Sarah hugs
and kisses her son.
TOM
looking at Summer
Hi Mom.
Summer smiles. Maybe this will be ok.
TOM
Mom, Martin, this is Summer.
SARAH
Summer! Well hello! We’ve heard so much about you! It’s so good
to finally meet you.
Sarah hugs Summer.
SUMMER
You too.
And now Martin weighs in with his own hug. Tom notices Summer’s
face growing increasingly concerned. Why is he hugging me?
MARTIN
to Tom
Is this the girlfriend?
Tom is caught like a deer in headlights. What can he do?
TOM
Well this is the girl friend I’ve told you about. I don’t know if
“girlfriend” is the right word--
SARAH
You going to see the serial killer one?
SUMMER
Yes we are.
SARAH
Great! Should we save you seats?
Again, this has become incredibly awkward for Tom and for Summer.
SUMMER
Absolutely.
SARAH
Ok. We’ll see you inside.
When they’re out of earshot, Tom sees that Summer is distraught.
TOM
Sorry about that.
SUMMER
It’s fine.
TOM
You wanna go do something else? We can totally bolt.
SUMMER
Did you tell them I was your girlfriend?
TOM
What?! No way, I never used that word.
SUMMER
They seemed to think-- I mean, why is your step-dad giving me a
hug?
TOM
He’s very-- loving.y jmnrfxhrfxj
SUMMER
Does he hug all your friends?
There’s that word again.
Summer looks at Tom, like she’s disappointed or even angry at him
for something. Then she walks ahead of him into the theatre. He’s
forced to follow. Answer-less, as conflicted as ever. Why is none
of this easy?
CUT TO:
INT. MOVIE THEATRE - LATER
Summer, Tom, Sarah, Martin in a row. Summer’s face is cold,
emotionless. Tom tries to look at her, to make eye contact,
something. She knows he’s looking but it doesn’t make her head
turn his way. Tom gives up and watches the movie.
ANGLE ON THE MOVIE SCREEN. We see a BLACK AND WHITE FILM.
It’s a MAN racing down the street, fleeing from an unseen
assassin. When he turns around we see the man is TOM. Bulletsd
