I have in my hand Graham Greene's "The
Destructors". This short story is part of
my daughter's English assignment. In this
story, several children destroy an elderly
man's house from inside out. They destroy
his house without motive, without moral
consequence. They destroy private property
...and they get away with it.
Ms. Pomeroy shakes her head bitterly.
MS. FARMER (cont'd)
And how do they do this? They FLOOD the
house... by breaking through the water
main!
PRINCIPAL COLE
(trying to calm her)
This meeting of the PTA was called to
inform the parents of our ongoing
investigation...
MS. FARMER
(enraged)
I AM THE PTA! And I say that this FILTH is
directly related to this vandalism.
Applause from the crowd.
MS. FARMER (cont'd)
I think this garbage should be removed.
Several shouts of approval come from the crowd.
INT. UPSTAIRS BATHROOM - EVENING
Donnie continues to converse with Frank.
DONNIE
Why did you make me flood the school?
FRANK
We just want to guide you in the
right direction.
DONNIE
Who is... we?
FRANK
You'll know soon enough.
DONNIE
(desperate)
Where did you come from?
FRANK
(beat)
Do you believe in time travel, Donnie?
A moment of silence.
SAMANTHA
Who are you talking to?
Donnie turns to see Samantha is standing in the doorway. Frank
is gone.
INT. AUDITORIUM - NIGHT
A heated debate among the parents is under way. Frustrated, Rose
stands up. Karen Pomeroy is furious.
ROSE
Excuse me... but what is the real issue
here? The PTA doesn't ban books from
school.
MS. FARMER
The PTA is here to acknowledge that there
is pornography in our school's
curriculum.
MS. POMEROY
(standing up)
My GOD... woman, are you drunk?
MS. FARMER
Excuse me? You need to go back to grad
school.
ROSE
(to Kitty)
Do you even know who Graham Greene is?
MS. FARMER
(to Rose)
I think we've all seen "Bonanza".
Ms. Pomeroy is disgusted. Rose and Eddie burst out laughing, grab
their coats, and leave.
EXT. WIZARD'S ARCADE - AFTERNOON (SATURDAY, 1 P.M.)
Donnie and Gretchen play a Sega race-car driving game. Donnie
drives a souped-up red Ferrari through the Grand Canyon.
GRETCHEN
So when you sleepwalk, can you remember
afterward? Like, do you dream?
DONNIE
No. I just wake up and I look around, try
to figure out where I am... how I got
there.
GRETCHEN
My dad said never wake a sleepwalker...
because they could drop dead.
The Trans-Am crashes head on into a tree. Game Over.
DONNIE
