Apt Pupil Page #5
TODD:
Some kids resent me for it. That's not
important. Anyway, my paper really floored
my history teacher. I guess because I got
through all those books without throwing up.
But I learned something. I learned that when
you talk about the camps now, you have to
remember to sound really disgusted. I mean,
you can't just say what happened like the
magazines did and leave it at that. If I
tried that the teacher would have freaked and
called my parents in.
INT. RONNY PEGLER'S GARAGE - DUSK
Todd sits on one of the boxes surrounded by dozens of the old
magazines. The door to the house opens and Ronny, looking
cross, pokes his head out.
RONNY:
Todd, your mom's on the phone. She says you
have to come home for dinner. ...Todd?
Todd, lost in the sea of old photographs, doesn't notice Ronny
at first. Then he looks up at him. In his eyes is a glint of a
darkness that we will come to know better.
TODD:
What?
RONNY:
(suddenly wary of Todd)
Your mom's on the phone.
ANGLE on Todd.
INT. DUSSANDER'S LIVING ROOM - DAY
TODD:
Nowadays you have to... soften it.
DUSSANDER:
Why do I care about this?
TODD:
Because, I don't want it softened.
Todd hops up and begins to pace the floor. Dussander stares at
him blankly, unsure of where this is going.
DUSSANDER:
I am sure you trouble your parents to no end.
TODD:
Actually, I'm pretty low maintenance. That's
what my dad says.
DUSSANDER:
You told your parents about me, then?
TODD:
You think I'm crazy?
DUSSANDER:
I think you're crackers, but go on. I'm
riveted.
Todd looks deep into Dussander's eyes. Dussander is
uncomfortable. Slowly, Todd reaches out and brushes his finger
against Dussander's hand. Dussander gets up.
DUSSANDER (CONT'D)
What are you doing?
Pause.
TODD:
And then it happened... I was on my way to
the library. It was raining...
