SAM:

Like it?

JULIA:

It's great. Thanks Sam.

Paul checks out the drawing. His nose crinkles.

PAUL:

Superman? Why'd you want a drawing of Superman?

JULIA:

He's very attractive.

PAUL:

(staring)

You're kidding.

JULIA:

No.

PAUL:

He's not even real.

JULIA:

I think most women tend to wonder if Superman is super in every way.

TERRY:

I don't.

PAUL:

You see. There goes your argument.

TERRY:

(thoughtfully)

But Spiderman has a nice ass.

Off everyone's LOOK --

TERRY:

(cont'd)

What?

INT. SAM'S HOUSE - BATHROOM - DAY

Julia

finishes washing her hands. Dries them. Grabbing her camera and the drawing,

Julia opens the bathroom door ...

INT. SAM'S HOUSE - HALLWAY - CONTINUOUS

...

and freezes. Standing within an open bedroom is ...

A:

BLOND STUDENT.

Another

college graduate. Tan and attractive. Dressed exactly like Paul -- identical

white shirt, gold and blue striped tie. He pulls off his tie and unbuttons his

shirt.

Julia

doesn't move.

The

student peels off his shirt. Her eyes are drawn to a Superman "S"

insignia tattooed on his shoulder.

The

student catches sight of Julia in the hallway. Her face turns bright red

immediately. She starts to laugh.

He

smiles at her. A bit flattered. Flirting.

STUDENT:

Changing

into something more formal.

He

holds up a pair of ripped jeans.

Julia

backs down the hallway. Still laughing. Embarrassed.

JULIA:

I'm

sorry. I was just using the ...

(laughs)

Really.

I'm sorry.

STUDENT:

I'll

forgive you this once.

She

quickly leaves.

The

blond student watches her go. A grin on his face.

EXT. SAM'S HOUSE - BACK YARD - DAY

Julia

walks out the back door. Stifling her laughter.

Paul

is talking with Guy on the lawn. Julia SNAPS a picture of them together, winds

her film, and notices ...

A:

LITTLE GIRL ...

Sweet

and innocent. Sitting on a bench. Motionless.

Julia

walks towards her. The little girl is staring across the lawn at a pool shed.

Transfixed. A group of children are playing on the grass in front of it.

The

girl becomes aware of Julia's presence and turns around.

JULIA:

Hi.

GIRL:

(quiet)

Hi.

Silence.

JULIA:

You

sitting here all by yourself?

The

girl slowly nods "Yes."

JULIA:

(cont'd)

Don't

you want to play with the other kids?

The

girls shakes her head "No."

JULIA:

(cont'd)

Want

me to leave you alone?

The

girl shakes her head "No."

More

silence.

JULIA:

(cont'd)

Want

to mix this up and ask me something?

The

little girl notices the camera.

GIRL:

Are

you taking pictures for Sam's family?

JULIA:

No,

I'm just ...

(then)

I'm

a friend of Sam's. But I'm also a photographer. I take pictures.

Beat.

GIRL:

Will you take a picture of me?

JULIA:

Why?

GIRL:

So you won't forget me.

Brendan Hood

I always wanted to be a screenwriter ever since I was a kid. I can still remember seeing Poltergeist (1982) in the theater when I was really young, and hearing the audience screaming their lungs out when JoBeth Williams is trapped in the swimming pool with all of the decomposing skeletons. And I just thought, "I want to get an audience to do that." Interview, 2002. more…
