12 and holding Page #5
JACOB:
Mom and Dad would kill us.
RUDY:
We can’t let him tear it down.
JACOB:
It’s just a treehouse.
RUDY:
No, it’s not! You know what, you
suck. I’m going. Leonard, you in?
JACOB:
You don’t have to go if you don’t
want to.
RUDY:
Don’t listen to him. He’s a p*ssy.
Leonard looks between Jacob and Malee.
LEONARD:
I’ll go.
RUDY:
Finally, someone with balls.
Insulted, Jacob slides off the rock and walks away. Malee
follows.
RUDY (CONT'D) (cont’d)
Let them go.
The fireworks display begins. As they turn to watch it...
INT. TWIN’S HOME - BOY’S BEDROOM - MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
We SCAN the room and come to a set of BUNK BEDS.
A body in the top bunk sits up and turns on a small bed
light. Reveal, it’s RUDY. Rudy grabs his watch from the
post and silences the alarm. Jacob sits up in bed.
(CONTINUED)
14.
CONTINUED:
JACOB:
Rudy.
RUDY:
Unless you’re coming with me, I
don’t want to hear it.
Jacob lies back in bed, silent. Rudy jumps off the top bunk,
gets dressed and grabs a BASEBALL BAT. Before leaving, Rudy
looks back at Jacob and shakes his head, disappointed.
RUDY (cont’d)
You know, you can’t be a p*ssy all
your life.
JACOB:
What?
RUDY:
Jeff and Kenny pick on you all the
time, and you don’t do sh*t.
JACOB:
It’s my problem.
RUDY:
No, it’s mine too. Cause we’re
brothers. That’s what brothers do.
They fight for each other, kill for
each other, die for each other.
JACOB:
I don’t feel that way.
RUDY:
Cause you’re a p*ssy. So stay
home, keep your head under the
blankets. I’m gonna fight.
With that, Rudy disappears out the window.
FADE TO BLACK:
DARKNESS... SFX:
CREAKING DOOR. A FLASHLIGHT illuminates thelocation. We are...
INT. TREEHOUSE - LATER THAT NIGHT
Leonard and Rudy enter with the help of a flashlight.
Leonard reaches inside his backpack and removes a number of
SNACK CAKES from his backpack.
(CONTINUED)
15.
CONTINUED:
LEONARD:
(re:
snack cakes)Some provisions.
RUDY:
We’re only gonna be here a couple
of hours.
LEONARD:
When two o’clock rolls around,
you’ll be begging for one of these.
Rudy shakes his head, removes his BAT from his backpack.
LEONARD (cont’d)
(re:
baseball bat)I didn’t bring my glove.
RUDY:
Moron, the bat is for Jeff and
Kenny. You know, to scare them a
little.
He swings it hard.
RUDY (cont’d)
Maybe it’s best if we don’t talk.
Just listen. Listen for them, and
don’t fall asleep.
LEONARD:
I’m wide awake. I could stay up
all night.
EST. EXT. WOODS - LATER THAT NIGHT
The treehouse is illuminated by the full moon, which rests in
the sky above. The thunderous sound of a million crickets
fills the air.
