MR. CUNNINGHAM
--Shhhhhhut upppp you fffffffreak!
MR. CUNNINGHAM SLAMS HIS HAND ON COLE'S DESK. Cole's hands drop
from his eyes. The teacher's face is burning red.
The children in the room are frozen. Completely startled.
Cole's eyes are filled with tears.
Mr. Cunningham's expression drains of anger as Cole Sear begins
to cry.
CUT TO:
INT. ANTHONY'S LIBRARY - SAME AFTERNOON
Cole is seated in the school library by himself. He sits at a
long center table near the windows. His head is laying on his
folded arms on the table.
Malcolm peeks his head in the door -- unsure if he's in the right
place. He spots Cole and enters the room. He silently takes a
seat across from Cole. The eight-year-old looks up. Cole's eyes
are hard -- filled with anger.
MALCOLM
Hey, big guy.
Cole stares for a second.
COLE
I don't want to talk about anything.
Cole lowers his head. Malcolm just sits and thinks.
THE SOUND OF BOYS PLAYING SPORTS ON THE FIELD OUTSIDE FILTER IN
THROUGH THE LIBRARY WINDOWS.
Cole turns his head and stares at the windows. Malcolm takes in
the sad vision of this boy. It affects him. Beat.
MALCOLM
Do you like magic?
Cole's face softens a bit. He turns from the windows and looks
to Malcolm. Beat. Cole nods, "Yes."
Malcolm pulls out a penny from his pocket. He places it in his
right hand.
MALCOLM
Watch the penny closely.
Malcolm closes his hand around the penny.
MALCOLM
I do the magic shake...
Malcolm shakes his hand in circles. Cole watches his hand
