Crystal Falls [after Crystal's friends have mocked Troy's death to humiliate Dean] Look, I just wanted to apologize for what happened back there.

Dean Stiffle Why? Did you do it?

Mrs. Johnson [at Troy's memorial] It's my fault. I know it is. I didn't even know him... I didn't know my own son.

Dean Stiffle Troy wanted to play guitar in a rock band. Be famous. But he knew he wasn't any good, and he felt stupid for wishing that. He had a crush on this girl since he was 13... That he never talked to - but he probably wished he would've. He liked you. But he felt sorry for you. He was afraid that he'd be like his dad. He was really, really smart. But he kept all his ideas to himself, unless you asked. He took great pictures of people without them even knowing... I miss him, you know? He was my friend. He was my best friend. And I hate myself, that I didn't even know he was about to do this.

[pause]

Mrs. Johnson ...Thank you.

🧡

Dean Stiffle What do you want, Crystal?

Crystal Falls Well, you know when Billy said he kidnapped your brother?

Dean Stiffle Yeah, that was a pretty lame bullshit job, huh?

Crystal Falls No, it was no bullshit. He did take a kid, he just took the wrong one.

Dean Stiffle The wrong what?

Mr. Parker Look, son, you let your grades go now, maybe you don't get into a top tier school.

Lee Yeah.

Mr. Parker You don't get into a top tier school, maybe you settle for a second-rate job. Maybe you don't have the life you want. Maybe each and every day you wake up, and want to crawl back into bed, and tell the world to go straight to hell.

Mrs. Parker We're just saying, you've worked too hard to blow it in your last year.

Mr. Parker We've all worked hard together, Lee. So, what do you say champ? Hop in the car?

🥱

Dean Stiffle ...It's just a beer, mom.

Mrs. Stiffle You don't have to explain yourself to me Dean, I trust you... I wonder what that'd be like. If we could just switch roles - You could be the parent, and I would be the child, and you could tell me what to do and I would listen to you, and I would trust you...

Dean Stiffle Are you okay, mom?

[pauses]

Mrs. Stiffle I'm supposed to be making a casserole right now for Troy's memorial service... I don't know what's wrong with me. My basic energy level has just been noticeably low, lately.

Mrs. Johnson Hello, Allie!

Mrs. Stiffle Carrie... hi! How are you?

Mrs. Johnson Am I interrupting?

Mrs. Stiffle No, come in. I'm just in the middle of making dinner - would you like a glass of wine?

Mrs. Johnson Oh, well I left the car running. I just wanted to come back and return your dish and say thank you. It has been such a relief to not have to cook lately, everyone has been *so* nice.

Mrs. Stiffle [Carrie holds the dish out for Allie to take] ... Oh.

Mrs. Johnson What?

Mrs. Stiffle This dish...

Mrs. Johnson Oh! Oh my God - Is this not the right one? Oh, I got so many, I mean... I've been jotting around all night returning them. Like I said, everyone has been so nice.

Mrs. Stiffle ...I don't believe I brought over a casserole.

Mrs. Stiffle [Runs to go check on the dinner] Could you hang on just one second, Carrie.

Mrs. Johnson [Carrie follows Allie from the doorway to the kitchen] Allie, am I making a mistake here?

Mrs. Stiffle Bill and I were meaning to come over, Carrie, really. You just get so busy.

Mrs. Johnson No, but I'm certain. I mean, you came over. We had coffee. We talked. Right? Or am I... just imagining all of this? Is that what I'm doing here, am I just imagining all of it?

Mrs. Stiffle ...I'm sorry Carrie. We just get so busy sometimes.

Mrs. Johnson [Starts to back away out of the kitchen and back to the doorway] I'm so embarrassed... I don't know what I was thinking. I mean, here you are preparing a nice family dinner, and I just come in and interrupt everything with no reason at all!

Mrs. Stiffle [Follows Carrie to the doorway] Carrie, why don't you stay for dinner?

Mrs. Johnson I really can't. I have so many dishes to return, tonight. Everyone has been so *unbelievably* nice! So we'll see you on Sunday, Allie?

Mrs. Stiffle Sunday?

Mrs. Johnson Oh, don't tell me that I forgot your invitation, too!... Troy's memorial. It's this Sunday.

Mrs. Stiffle Of course Carrie, right. We're looking forward. We'll be there.

Mrs. Johnson Oh. And I... I wanted to let you know, just in case you were wondering...

Mrs. Stiffle Yes?

Mrs. Johnson In no way, whatsoever, do I blame you for Troy's death.

Mrs. Johnson [Hands Allie the dish and walks out] Goodnight!

Dr. Bill Stiffle Dean, a young life was taken - and from the moment it happened, you ignored it like it was nothing! You didn't even tell any of the adults there at the party, could you explain that?

Dean Stiffle I just didn't think that you guys would...

Dr. Bill Stiffle What?

Dean Stiffle Care!

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Dr. Bill Stiffle Dean, I know that Troy was your best friend.

Dean Stiffle Actually, we weren't really friends. We hung out sometimes, that's all.

Dr. Bill Stiffle Did you have a better friend than him?

Dean Stiffle ...I don't really have any friends dad, you know that.

Dr. Bill Stiffle Right, so strictly speaking, Troy was your best friend. And how do you feel about the suicide of *your* best friend? In the world?

Dean Stiffle Real shitty.

Dr. Bill Stiffle Come on, son. Make an effort for me?

Dean Stiffle Dad, I told you before, I'm not all broken up about it! And I'm supposed to be? I'm just not.

Dr. Bill Stiffle You're really not?

[Dean falls silent as Bill pulls out his notebook]

Dean Stiffle ...No. Sorry, I...

Dr. Bill Stiffle [Bill starts to write in his notebook] No, no. I understand how someone might respond like that.

Dean Stiffle ...What are you writing? Dad, I thought we were just talking man-to-man, here...

Dr. Bill Stiffle Just one second.

Dean Stiffle Dad, if you write about me again in another one of your stupid books - I'm going to kill you.

Dr. Bill Stiffle [Bill stops writing] Stupid? There are several major book chains around this country, that would disagree with you on that point.

Dean Stiffle Alright, dad...

Dr. Bill Stiffle The Happy Accident alone is going to pay your college tuition!

Dean Stiffle Alright!

Dr. Bill Stiffle Fine... Now let me ask you this, Dean. Mrs. Johnson suspects that Troy might have been selling drugs to some of the kids at school.

Dean Stiffle Yeah?

Dr. Bill Stiffle How do you feel about that?

Dean Stiffle I feel that it must have been unfulfilling for him.

Dr. Bill Stiffle That's very interesting. Why do you say that?

Dean Stiffle Because he killed himself...

Crystal Falls You all right? I mean, after what Billy did this morning?

Dean Stiffle It's fine. I don't care.

Crystal Falls I'm Crystal.

Dean Stiffle I know. Everyone knows who you are.

Crystal Falls You don't like to talk much, do you? I mean, or is it just that you don't like talking to me?

Dean Stiffle What do you want?

Crystal Falls I just want to say I'm sorry, that's all.

Dean Stiffle Oh, you were apart of that?

Crystal Falls No, but they're my friends. The guys who did it.

Dean Stiffle Oh. Nice friends you have.

Crystal Falls Well, better to have no friends at all?

Dean Stiffle Honestly? Yeah. Yeah it is. Yeah.

Crystal Falls You know that's why you get so much shit, right? The way you act like you're so much smarter than everyone else?

Dean Stiffle Well, I don't torment people I don't know...

Crystal Falls I thought you said you didn't care.

Dean Stiffle I'm talking about Troy. But since you can't apologize to him for this morning, I guess apologizing to me is enough to make yourself feel better, is that right?

Crystal Falls You know what? I was really wrong. You're definitely not smarter than the rest of us.

Dean Stiffle Oh? And why is that?

Crystal Falls ...Because Troy was my friend.

🥱

Crystal Falls [Sitting on a bench overlooking the neighbourhood] How old are you?

Charley Bratley Thirteen.

Crystal Falls Then why are you so small?

Charley Bratley I don't know. Just am... My dad put me on this bulk 2000 for a while, this powder stuff? It ended up costing him $400, but after a couple of weeks, I got really bad diarrhea. I ended up losing, like, eight pounds. My dad went ballistic.

[Crystal and Charlie both laugh together. Charlie takes a puff of a cigarette and coughs]

Crystal Falls You don't smoke, do you?

Charley Bratley Sure... Well, no.

Crystal Falls Well here's a secret...

Crystal Falls [Takes the cigarette from Charlie] Don't act like somebody you're not. You do that long enough, you'll forget you were acting. And so will everyone else.

Mr. Peck Who's the kid?

Billy Charley.

Mr. Peck Damn, you're teeny-tiny.

Billy I'm holding him for ransom.

Mr. Peck Oh...

Charley Bratley Yeah, I should probably get home. My mom's getting married tomorrow.

Mr. Peck I was married once. Problem was my wife never really understood me... she even said that. "I don't understand you." What do you suppose that means? Makes no sense to me.

Billy ...Okay, dad.

Officer Lou Bratley Okay - so, now, you want to tell me about this fight at the mall?

Dean Stiffle No. Not really, no.

Dr. Bill Stiffle Dean, make an effort for me, please. I'm sure there is a reasonable explanation for all this, officer.

Officer Lou Bratley I'm all ears.

Dr. Bill Stiffle Dean?

Dean Stiffle ...The guy at the mall was Billy. He and the other two forced me to steal drugs from my friend, Troy.

Officer Lou Bratley Troy? Who's this Troy?

Dean Stiffle Troy Johnson. He's dead.

Dr. Bill Stiffle He committed suicide, sir.

Officer Lou Bratley I don't understand.

Dean Stiffle I told them no, so to force me to do it, they kidnapped my brother.

Officer Lou Bratley Wait a minute, are you kidding me? You got a son who's kidnapped?

Dean Stiffle No, wait a second, listen. They got the wrong kid. And they said if I didn't get the stuff from Troy, they were going to kill him.

Officer Lou Bratley Oh, you just said Troy, who's dead.

Dr. Bill Stiffle He is, officer. Dean...?

Dean Stiffle So I did it, only Charlie - my little brother, Charlie, switched the drugs on me. And I wound up with a bag of my mom's Veggie Force.

Officer Lou Bratley Veggie Force?

Dr. Bill Stiffle It's this vitamin line she hocks.

Officer Lou Bratley Veggie Force! I know that stuff. Right, I know, Veggie Force, right. Okay. Yeah... you wouldn't happen to know if they make a weight gainer for kids?

Dr. Bill Stiffle I can check I guess.

Dean Stiffle ...Anyway, that's why we got in a fight. Cause he wouldn't let the kid go.

Officer Lou Bratley Which kid?

Dean Stiffle The kid who was kidnapped.

Officer Lou Bratley Okay. I think I understand. You were fighting at the mall with a guy who's kidnapping and drug smuggling with a guy who killed himself.

Dean Stiffle ...Yeah.

🧡

🥱

Officer Lou Bratley Well, that's great Dean, you know? Only there doesn't happen to be any reports around here of any missing kids, so how do you explain that?

Dean Stiffle I can't... I can't explain that.

Dr. Bill Stiffle [Interrupting] Officer, can I...?

Officer Lou Bratley Well, I mean, what's his name? This missing kid, this kidnapped kid, what's his name?

Dean Stiffle He's called Charley.

Officer Lou Bratley Charley what?

Dean Stiffle Charley Br...

Dean Stiffle [pauses] Why did you kidnap my brother?

Billy So you know I'm not fucking around, I want the stuff from Troy.

Dean Stiffle I already told you...

Billy [Interrupting] I don't think you're listening. You are going to *get* me Troy's drugs.

Dean Stiffle Or what?

The Chumscrubber [on a morbid cartoon everyone is watching] I live in the city, in an apartment high above the cloud left by the blast. I'm one of the lucky ones. One morning, I awoke to find that my head was no longer attached to my body. I'm not dead, but who could call this a life? So I do what I can, in this world of freaks and subhuman creatures.
