carefully.
MALCOLM
And suddenly the penny has
magically traveled to my left hand...
Cole looks to Malcolm's closed left hand. Malcolm doesn't open
it.
MALCOLM
But that's not the end of the trick.
With another magic shake, the penny
travels into my shirt pocket...
Cole's eyes lock on Malcolm's shirt. Malcolm taps the pocket but
doesn't open it.
MALCOLM
But that's still not the end!... I
do a final magic shake... and
suddenly... The penny returns to
the hand where it started from.
Malcolm opens his right hand. The penny sits quietly in the
center of his palm.
Cole looks at the penny and then up to Malcolm's face. Beat.
Cole cracks a smile.
COLE
That isn't magic.
MALCOLM
What?
COLE
You just kept the penny in that
hand the whole time...
MALCOLM
Who me?
Malcolm smiles a mischievous smile. He places the penny on the
table. Cole stares at it and then looks to Malcolm.
COLE
I didn't know you were funny.
MALCOLM
I forgot myself.
Malcolm and Cole share a warm look.
THE SOUNDS OF KIDS LAUGHING AND PLAYING OUT ON THE FIELD COME
POURING INTO THE ROOM AGAIN.
Cole's expression changes back to sadness as he looks to the
windows. Malcolm leans across the table and whispers.
MALCOLM
Cole...
Cole looks at Malcolm.
MALCOLM
One day...
(beat)
You're going to sound just like
them.
Beat. Cole's chin starts to tremble. His voice cracks.
COLE
(whispers)
Promise?
Beat.
MALCOLM
(whispers)
Promise.
Malcolm and Cole sit in silence and listen to THE SOUND OF
CHILDREN PLAYING.
CUT TO:
INT. HALLWAY - EVENING
