WOMAN(smiling)

Is that right?

DAVID:

But I'm afraid of water, so

that's been holding my

career back a little bit.

The woman laughs.

DAVID:

You represent someone in

Philadelphia?

WOMAN:

I'm meeting a player from

Temple University. He's a

cornerback. You like

football?

Beat.

DAVID:

Not really.

WOMAN:

This kid is six foot two,

two hundred and forty

pounds. He runs the fifty in

under six seconds. He's

going to be a God.

Beat. David studies the excitement in her eyes.

ANOTHER LOUD VIOLENT BURST OF SOUND. David waits till the opposing train passes.

The woman goes back to her magazine. Beat.

DAVID:

I'm David Dunne.

The woman looks up.

WOMAN:

Kelly.

She goes back to the magazine.

Beat.

DAVID:

How long are you staying in

Philly?

KELLY looks up from her Sports Illustrated. Her striking blue eyes gaze at David.

Beat.

She holds up her hand. Taps the diamond ring on her finger.

KELLY(soft)

I'm married.

DAVID(fake excitement)

Great.

Beat.

KELLY:

Sorry.

DAVID(fake confusion)

What are you talking about?

An awkward silence.

DAVID:

I think you got the wrong

idea.

The woman stares at David. She looks down. Beat. Closes the magazine.

KELLY:

I'm going to find another

seat.

Kelly gets up. She balances herself against a headrest as the train rumbles. She

starts to the back of the car.

David sits alone. He looks like he's drowning, but there's no water.

He feels a stare. He glances up. The little girl spies on him from between the

seats.

David leans towards the window to avoid eye contact. His hand reaches into his

coat and slides out his wedding band. He puts it back on.

His temple touches the glass. The vibration of the train begins to lull his eyes

closed... Beat.

David's head bounces lightly against the window.

The shaking of the glass never allows David's eyes to completely close.

He sits up when he realizes the shaking is getting stronger.

He looks out the window. The scenery blurs as it flies by. Beat.

David turns. Some of the other passengers start to react as they realize the

train is picking up speed.

The normal bumps of the tracks become amplified.

The WORRIED VOICES OF THE TRAVELERS START FILL THE CABIN.

The train goes faster.

AND THEN THE HIGH PITCHED METAL ON METAL SCREECHING STARTS AS THE TRAIN BEGINS TO

TAKE A CURVE.

David's eyes move to the seat in front of him. The little girl is no longer

watching him.

DAVID LOOKS TO THE PASSENGERS ACROSS FROM HIM. He sees the ground slowly drop

away in the windows behind them as THEIR SIDE OF THE TRAIN STARTS TO RISE...

THE PASSENGERS SCREAM AS THE AMTRAK PASSENGER TRAIN BEGINS TO TILT OFF THE

TRACK...

CUT TO:

INT. FAMILY ROOM - AFTERNOON

A boy, age ten, sits on his head on the family couch and watches television

upside down. His floppy brown hair spreads out in a circle in front of his red

face. He changes channels with a remote control.
