DOUG
We should go in your room. I’m
not trying to push things but my
uncle the bus driver lives across
the way and he can see right into
this apartment.
72 INT. CLAIRE’S ROOM - NIGHT
72
Claire and Doug, in her bed. Love scene. We don’t hear
what they’re saying. The sound of score and the DRIFT of
the CAMERA creates something impressionistic.
73 INT. CLAIRE’S ROOM - LATER
73
Claire and Doug lie in bed.
We CUT BETWEEN her in bed and her AT THE BEACH being let
off by Doug as PLANES FLY OVERHEAD and she takes her
blindfold off. See Doug whisper in her ear in the WORK
VAN.
CLAIRE
Robbery. They know that two
hundred thousand dollars spent on
a guard rail will save one life
every ten years. Actuaries know
one person in a thousand banks
over twenty years will lose half
their eyesight in a robbery and
they price that in with costs like
cleaning solvents and condiments.
They can see the future. People
will rob a bank. A boy will die
of cancer. It’s already accounted
for and set aside and now we’re
just here waiting to make good on
the debt. I don’t mind paying
what I owe. I just don’t like
surprises.
74 EXT. OUTSIDE CLAIRE’S DOOR - NIGHT
74
Doug exits Claire’s door. The Monument. The Tobin.
75 EXT. CITY OF BOSTON - CRACK OF DAWN
75
The city as the sun peeks over the edge of the world.
