Donnie Darko Page #2

ELIZABETH:

Maybe you'd like to tell Mom and Dad

why you stopped taking your

medication.

An awkward silence.

ROSE:

(surprised)

You've stopped taking your medication?

SAMANTHA:

When can I squeeze one out, Mom?

DONNIE:

(glaring at Elizabeth)

You're such a f***-ass.

ROSE:

When did you stop taking your

medication?

ELIZABETH:

(laughing)

Did you just call me a f***-ass?

ROSE:

That's enough.

ELIZABETH:

(to Donnie)

You can suck a f***.

DONNIE:

Oh, please tell me, Elizabeth, how

exactly does one suck a f***?

ROSE:

(disgusted)

We will not have this kind of language

at the dinner table.

They are all silent for a moment.

SAMANTHA:

What's a f***-ass?

Despite his brave efforts to hold back laughter, Eddie Darko

lets out a slight guffaw.

INT. ELIZABETH'S ROOM - EVENING (SATURDAY NIGHT, 9 P.M.)

Elizabeth talks on the phone, getting ready for her Saturday

night. Rose knocks and then enters.

ELIZABETH:

(into the phone)

No. I took a year off to be with

you.

(beat)

Of course I care. Don't get angry.

(covering the phone)

What?

ROSE:

How did you know --

ELIZABETH:

(cutting her off)

I didn't realise it was such a big

deal.

ROSE:

It is a big deal.
