Still have to go through and write 2 more scenes. But now I know exactly what needs to happen in those scenes: kid needs to evade the police. First from the midpoint crash scene, and then again later at the Act 4 failure point. For some reason unbenknownst to me, I wasn’t sure that these two scenes were all I needed, until just now when I wrote the ending scene. In addition, while I was hoping to have the resolution scene outlined last night, none of it came to me at all, and I was totally blanking on a satisfying ending until just now, this morning, somewhere between feeding the cat and answering other techy emails. I guess my subconscious needed to sleep on it one more day, once again affirming the constant role of patient faith that the “eureka moment” is always right around the corner, so long as I commit to seeking it out.
FINAL SCENES:
Ruth walks over to the kid. She gets down on her knees and puts her hand on his shoulder. He doesn’t like the intrusion.
KID
What are you going to do to me?
RUTH
Help.
The sound of POLICE SIRENS approaches from the distance.
KID
What are they gonna do?
RUTH
Help. You’ll see.
FADE OUT:
INT. APPLE STORE, CALIFORNIA – DAY
Chuck walks into the store wearing an employee badge. A manager, much younger than him greets him.
MANAGER
Good morning Chuck.
CHUCK
Good morning.
MANAGER
We got a large crowd today. They’re lookin’ pretty grizzled. Did you do the prep?
Chuck looks into the other room. A group of disgruntled looking senior citizens grappling with phones and tablets are gathered on wooden blocks and other exceptionally bright-colored furniture.
CHUCK
Yeah. I’m ready for this.
Chuck walks over to them.
CHUCK
Good morning.
They look up. Some surprised. Some relieved, but they are attentive.
CHUCK
(continuing; speaking loud above the din)
OK. First things first. Who says we get out of here and go somewhere you can all hear and see me?
They all nod.
CHUCK
There’s comfortable benches in the scuplture garden around back. Lets do this!
