The arched halls of the private school are lined with posted
drawings and test papers.
Cole and Malcolm walk down an empty hall.
COLE
Did you think the play sucked big
time?
MALCOLM
What?
COLE
Tommy Tammisimo acted in a cough
syrup commercial. He thought
everybody was self-conscious and
unrealistic. He said the play
sucked big time.
MALCOLM
I know every child is special in
their own way, but Tommy sounds
like a punk.
(Cole smiles)
I thought the play was excellent.
Better than Cats.
COLE
Cats?
MALCOLM
Never mind.
Beat. They continue down the hall in silence. Malcolm takes his
time.
MALCOLM
Cole, I was really interested in
what you told me in the hospital,
I'd like to hear more about it.
Malcolm stops at a set of doors at the end of the hall --
realizes Cole is no longer next to him. Malcolm turns to find
Cole frozen about ten feet back.
Malcolm walks to him. He notices Cole's expression as he gets
closer.
MALCOLM
What's wrong?
Cole points to the doors.
MALCOLM
Is something in there?
Cole doesn't say anything. Beat.
CUT TO:
INT. GYMNASIUM - AFTERNOON
It's a large shadowy GYM. Climbing ropes hang from the wood
beamed ceiling.
Cole is trembling slightly as he stands next to Malcolm.
MALCOLM
What is it?
Malcolm follows the child's gaze to the ceiling of the gym.
MALCOLM
I don't see.
Beat.
COLE
Be real still.
Malcolm looks to Cole and then turns back to the ceiling.
Malcolm's body becomes very still. Beat.
COLE
Sometimes you feel it inside.
Like you're falling down real fast,
