Laws were passed here. Some of the
first laws of this country. This
building was full of lawyers.
Lawmakers.
COLE
They were the ones who hanged
everybody.
Mr. Cunningham chuckles. Cole's face turns cement grey.
MR. CUNNINGHAM
I don't know which one of these
guys told you that, but they were
just trying to scare you, I think.
Tommy Tammisimo leads the class in a wave of snickering.
Cole glances up. Sees all the eyes on him. He glances at the
teacher who is still staring.
COLE
I don't like people looking at me
like that.
MR. CUNNINGHAM
Like what?
COLE
Stop it!
Mr. Cunningham sees the traumatized expression on Cole's face and
instantly stops smiling.
MR. CUNNINGHAM
I don't know how else to look--
COLE
You're a stuttering Stanley!
Mr. Cunningham's face becomes still. So does the classroom.
MR. CUNNINGHAM
Excuse me?
COLE
You talked funny when you went to
school here. You talked funny all
the way to high school!
The class falls into stunned silence. Mr. Cunningham takes an
involuntary step towards Cole's desk.
MR. CUNNINGHAM
What--
COLE
You shouldn't laugh at people. It
makes them feel bad.
Mr. Cunningham moves closer to Cole.
MR. CUNNINGHAM
How did you--?
COLE
Stop looking at me.
Cole covers his eyes with his hands.
MR. CUNNINGHAM
Who have you been s-speaking to?
We see Cole's mouth under his covered eyes.
COLE
Stuttering Stanley! Stuttering
Stanley!
MR. CUNNINGHAM
Who!
Mr. Cunningham is standing right over Cole's desk now.
COLE
Stuttering Stanley!
MR. CUNNINGHAM
