Malcolm scans the majestic room and finds what he's looking for
in the last row of the church.
He moves down the center aisle towards the back.
Malcolm finds Cole playing in his pew with a set of green and
beige plastic soldiers. Cole makes the soldiers talk to each
other.
COLE
(soft)
Pro... Fun... Add...
The words are unintelligible.
Cole senses someone. He looks up and sees Malcolm staring at
him. The boy immediately goes white. Every cell of his body
still with fear.
MALCOLM
It's okay, Cole. Don't be
frightened.
Cole stays rigid. Hands clutching a handful of plastic riflemen.
MALCOLM
My name is Dr. Malcolm Crowe. I
was supposed to meet you today.
Sorry I missed our appointment.
Malcolm waits for a response. None comes.
MALCOLM
Do you mind if I sit down? I have
this injury from a couple of years
ago and it flares up every once in
a while just so I won't forget it.
Beat. Cole slowly slides down the pew, giving Malcolm most of
the seat. Malcolm sits.
Cole fidgets with his soldiers. Beat. Malcolm looks over and
stares at Cole's glasses. He leans forward to inspect them more
carefully.
MALCOLM
Your eye frames. They don't seem to
have any lenses in them.
COLE
(soft)
They're my dad's. The lenses hurt
my eyes.
MALCOLM
I knew there was a sound explanation.
Malcolm returns to staring at his lap. Beat.
MALCOLM
What was that you were saying
before with your soldiers? Day pro
fun.
COLE
...De profundis clamo ad te domine.
Malcolm stares surprised.
COLE
It's called Latin. It's a
language.
Malcolm nods at the information.
MALCOLM
All your soldiers speak Latin?
