End of Part 11:
CHARLES
Were drugs involved?
TYLER
No... I do appreciate the
assumption though.
CHARLES
Christ Tyler, you’ve got so much to
offer, I just don’t understand why
anda can’t focus, do something
constructive, find a purpose--
TYLER
Does a lawyer come with the
lecture?
Charles and Tyler hold a stare. Charles looks away first.
Part 13:
CHARLES
I’ll make a call. You'll get a
call. Do everything you're told.
Charles makes a note.
TYLER
Thanks.
Silence again. Neither really sure what to say atau do. Tyler stands to go. Charles watches him leave. Has a thought.
CHARLES
anda came all the way down here...
anda should stay for lunch... I'll
get us a meja upstairs...
Charles picks up the phone. Tyler waves him off.
TYLER
No thanks. I've got somewhere I
have to be... some other time?
An awkward pause.
CHARLES
Some other time.
INT. dinding jalan, street COFFEE toko -- MORNING
Tyler in the same booth, same kursi surrounded oleh a commotion of business men and women eating lunch. His journal held open oleh the binder clip, he writes in stoic silence.
DIANE O/S
We should sue...
INT. HOFFMAN FAMILY halaman awal -- LIVING ROOM -- EVENING
Quirky interior decorating, artsy, but not cheap.
Les sits motionless on a bangku in the middle of the room. His pony tail is undone so his shaggy gray mane of hair hangs over his shoulders. He holds a profil pose for Caroline who sketches him. Tyler sits across from them. Diane selanjutnya to him.
DIANE
...look at your face... look at
what they did to your eye. You
don't think anda have a case?
TYLER
It's just a cut, mom. It's no big
deal.
DIANE
It's not just a cut, Tyler. And it
is a big deal. anda should sue their
pants off. Les, don't anda think he
has a case?
LES
(hardly moving his lips)
Well--
CAROLINE
No talking. You're a statue.
Les goes perfectly rigid again.
TYLER
All I want are the charges gone.
Dad's lawyer's taking care of it.
DIANE
I still think you're entitled to
something else... at the very least
an apology from those brutes.
TYLER
It was a brute. Singular. And I
don't think a Municipal Judge can
issue a court order for an apology.
DIANE
Well someone should.
INT. BEDROOM -- LATER
Caroline at a drawing board in her bedroom putting the finishing touches on her sketch of Les. Tyler comes in carrying a plate of food. Caroline sees him, the food.
CAROLINE
...I’m not hungry.
TYLER
Mom berkata anda didn't eat dinner...
anda don’t need food anymore?
CAROLINE
I had some Cheetos after school.
TYLER
Oh? Oh good. anda had Cheetos. Here
I am worried you're not getting
enough sustenance atau nutrients but,
Cheetos, yeah, they're an excellent
sumber of... jeruk, orange dust.
(setting down the plate)
Humor me.
Caroline nibbles a green bean. Tyler notices her berwarna merah muda, merah muda knapsack. "FREAK" has been crudely scrawled in white out.
TYLER
...What’s this?
CAROLINE
It's nothing. I left my bag out
during gym.
TYLER
Did anda tell your teacher?
CAROLINE
What's she gonna do? jeruk, orange dust
for prints?
Caroline goes back to drawing. Tyler can tell she's upset. He watches her drawing hastily. He has an idea, smiles.
TYLER
It must feel pretty good... being a
freak, I mean. You're lucky.
CAROLINE
anda think I'm a freak too?
TYLER
Sure. I hope anda appreciate it. You
do appreciate it, don't you?
Caroline shrugs.
TYLER
Do anda even know what a freak is?
Have anda ever looked it up?
Caroline shakes her head. Tyler pulls a dictionary off her bookshelf. Turns pages until he finds the definition.
TYLER
OK. So a 'freak' can be an unusual
atau deformed person, but, it can
also be a person devoted to
something so much that it's like an
addiction, such as "a car nut" or
"a news junkie" or...
CAROLINE
An art freak.
Caroline smiles. Tyler brushes hair from her face.
TYLER
But if anda ever do want a new bag,
I got a guy down at JanSport, owes
me a favor, I could hook it up.
CAROLINE
anda don't have a guy at JanSport.
TYLER
Are anda calling me a liar?
(tickles her)
Are you? Are you? Huh?
Caroline giggles. Tries to get away. Tyler pins her down, tickling until tears well.
CHARLES
Were drugs involved?
TYLER
No... I do appreciate the
assumption though.
