MALCOLM
(under his breath)
Give it up, kid.

Malcolm turns away from the window as Sean's car starts up and
pulls away from Malcolm's house.

CUT TO:

INT. CLASSROOM - DAY

STANLEY CUNNINGHAM is a teacher in his late forties. He writes a
question on the board.

MR. CUNNINGHAM
Can anyone guess what city was the
capital of the United States of
America from 1790 to 1800?

Mr. Cunningham turns and stares at his class of eight and nine
year old private school students. They stare back at him blankly.

Cole rests his chin on his desk and watches the class with big
eyes.

MR. CUNNINGHAM
...I'll give you a hint, it's the
city you live in.

The class says the answer in unison.

CLASS
Philadelphia.

MR. CUNNINGHAM
Right... Philadelphia is one of
the oldest cities in the country.
A lot of generations have lived and
died in this city... Almost every
place you visit has a history and a
story behind it.
(beat)
Even this school and the grounds
they sit on... Can anyone guess
what this building was used for a
hundred years ago, before you went
here, before I went to this school
even?

Stanley Cunningham looks over the class of blank faces. He's
just about to answer his own question when he sees a hand go up.
Mr. Cunningham looks surprised to see who it is.

MR. CUNNINGHAM
Yes, Cole?

COLE
They used to hang people here.

Mr. Cunningham furrows his brow. Beat.

MR. CUNNINGHAM
That's not correct. Where'd you
hear that?

COLE
They'd pull the people in crying
and kissing their families bye...
People watching would spit at them.

Beat.

MR. CUNNINGHAM
Cole, this was a legal courthouse.
