Ride Along Page #5
Chloe looked up at Kevin, but did not speak. She looked empty.
Kevin (cont’d):
You took action, took control of the
situation and then tried to save that
ma-
Chloe:
That dead man. (A pause)I know CPR.
We’ve reviewed it in class. I had to
learn it for lifeguarding last year.
And babysitting the year before that. I
know CPR. (A pause) And the look the
looks the EMTs gave me when they
arrived and saw I hadn’t done anything.
It was like ice. (A pause)I know CPR.
Kevin looked at Chloe, sadness in his eyes. He joined her on the
bench and hugged her.
12. INT. EMT CLASSROOM- DAY.
Chloe was not in class Monday. Her seat remained empty next to
him. An ordinary day.
Cut to:
Tuesday. Chloe was not in class Tuesday. Her seatremained empty.
Cut to:
Kevin practicing CPR intensely on a mannequin.13. INT. KEVIN’S CAR- DAY.
You see Kevin get in his car. He gets his phone out and dials a
Intercut- Kevin’s car/Chloe’s bedroom.
Kevin:
Hey Chloe. Are you alright? You haven’t
been in class this week. I just want to
make sure what happened over the
weekend isn’t bothering you.
Chloe:
No, no. I’m fine, I promise. I really
have been sick the last couple days. I
feel like I’m getting better, so I’ll
probably be in school tomorrow.
Kevin:
Oh, really? Well that’s good.
Chloe:
Yeah, it’s so good that I’ve been sick!
Kevin:
You know what I meant. You want me to
swing buy and bring you anything?
Chloe:
No, I’m good. Thank you though. So I’ll
see you tomorrow.
Kevin:
Okay, see you then.
Kevin and Chloe hang up. Kevin stares out his window for a few
seconds and then starts his car.
14. INT. STARR HOUSE KITCHEN- NIGHT.
Kevin is having dinner with his two sisters, Stella and Kacie,
and his mom. Stella, 22, is tall with long black hair and brown
eyes. Kacie, 20, looks like she could be Kevin’s twin. An
ordinary family dinner.
Kevin:
So Stella, when do you go back to
school?
Stella:
December 2nd. Then a week of classes and
we’re home again. (A pause) When do you
start going on the ambulance?
Kevin:
About two weeks.
Stella:
Are you excited? Nervous? Terrified?
Kevin:
We’ll find out. I’m about as minimally
prepared as a person can legally be and
still be a ride-along. So, you know,
that doesn’t strike confidence in any
of my classmates.
Kacie:
You aren’t scared of all the blood,
guts, and death?
Mrs. Starr:
We’re eating dinner Kacie, shut it.
Kevin:
(A pause)You can’t be. If you’re
terrified of the worst case scenario
than only one thing is certain, and
that is the worst case scenario is
always right around the corner. That’s
the quickest way to burn yourself out
and having to settle for some joke
degree like elementary education.
