A Bucket of Blood Page #4
WALTER:
T-tell him that?
MRS. SWICKER
If you see him.
WALTER:
OK Mrs. Swicker.
MRS. SWICKER
Good night Walter...
WALTER:
Good night, Mrs. Swicker -
Walter opens his door and heads in -
INT WALTER'S ROOM - NIGHT
Walter closes the door and turns on a LIGHT hanging over a kitchen
TABLE - a CLOTH covers an object roughly the size of a bowling ball
on the table -
He removes Carla's head shot, tucked inside his shirt, and places it
on the table after looking at it for a beat -
Walter heads over to the STOVE, stopping to notice a freshly
plastered area on the wall, a bag of PLASTER still on the ground -
Walter opens himself up a can of BEANS - he looks around and finds
an old, dented metal POT, pouring the beans into the pot -
He throws the empty can in the direction of an overflowing GARBAGE
CAN, lights the stove and puts the pot on the
burner -
Walter then takes a seat at the table - he lifts the
cloth, revealing a mound of CLAY -
A cat meows in the distance as Walter looks at Carla's picture,
appreciating her beauty -
WALTER:
Now I have my muse...
Walter then turns and begins to mold the clay -
DISSOLVE TO:
INT WALTER'S ROOM
A half-hour later. Walter has attempted to sculpt a bust - he looks
at Carla's picture, then back at his sculpture -
Walter's POV it is a badly sculpted HEAD, that not only looks
nothing like Carla but has a hard time passing for anything human -
Walter looks at it, knowing that much work is needed on his creation
-
He grabs a blob of fresh clay from an adjacent pile and begins to
form a nose - the cat meows again - Walter looks around -
WALTER:
Frankie?
Walter continues enthusiastically sculpting the blob of
clay -
WALTER:
A canvas is a canvas or a painting.
A rock is a rock or a statue...a
sound is a sound or is music...
Walter looks at the sculpture -
Walter then attaches the nose - smoothing it on -
It looks RIDICULOUS, something out of grammar school art class -
he's having difficulty forming anything that resembles a nose -
WALTER:
Come on...you're supposed to be
a nose...
The malformed face stares dumbly back at him as he fights to shape
the nose -
The cat meows again - Walter is getting increasingly frustrated - he
backs up to look at the head -
PAN the photograph of Carla, over to the sculpture - one of the ears
falls off -
Walter squints at the head, failing to convince himself it's looking
better - frustrated, Walter yanks the nose off and grabs a little
more clay -
WALTER:
Why can't I make a nose!
On the stove, the beans begin to boil -
Walter shapes the clay and sticks the nose back on, his tongue
