RASMUSSEN:
Just for a few days.
ANOTHER COP:
He doesn't sound like Mr. Lovely here,
Captain. You want us to bust him or
protect him?
Rasmussen offers Sweeney a look that it's his question.
SWEENEY:
I don't think Vinyard's gonna be the
one to start anything. It's his
following.
RASMUSSEN:
Either way...let's keep it low.
CUT TO:
EXT. VENICE BEACH BOARDWALK - MORNING
PEACEFUL DAY by PENNYWISE blasts from Danny's walkman
headphones. The day is cloudy and overcast but that
doesn't bother the local SURFERS. A twosome paddles
north to get a better break on the next set. Danny
watches as he skateboards down the strand.
His appearance is changed, now resembling a younger,
softer Derek.
Head shaved to a quarter of an inch, he wears a PLAIN
WHITE BACKPACK with punk/white power bands scribbled all
over it. Your standard Sex Pistols, DK, Germs, G.B.M.,
and Adolescents in black. Cro-Magnons and Skrewdriver
off to the left. In red is the largest name, DICK NIXON.
CUT TO:
EXT. VENICE HIGH SCHOOL - THE BIKE CORRAL
Kids from all walks of life park their cars, lock their
bikes and head off to class.
EXT. HALLWAY - TIGHT ON A THRASHED LOCKER
Danny throws his SKATEBOARD in, slams the door, and turns
to face LIZZY, a pretty, redheaded freshman.
LIZZY:
Hi Danny.
DANNY:
Hey Lizzy.
The two smile at one another as the FIRST BELL RINGS.
CUT TO:
INT. SCHOOL BATHROOM - A URINAL
Danny takes a piss. Outside, a voice pleads "It wasn't
me!" DARYL DAWSON, pale and thin, is shoved into the
bathroom and he trips into the sink. LITTLE HENRY, a
young black kid, enters with two of his buddies. Danny
zips up and faces them.
LITTLE HENRY:
(to a terrified Daryl)
Tellin' Baker I'm f***in' cheatin'?
I've never cheated in my life.
BUDDY #1
Beat his ass, Henry!
LITTLE HENRY:
Why you trippin' on me?
DARYL:
I didn't say anything, Henry. I
swear.
BUDDY #2
He's lying, man! I was right there!
Little Henry cracks Daryl in the face and practically
knocks him down with one shot. A bleeding Daryl
struggles to his hands and knees behind Danny.
LITTLE HENRY:
Next time, man.
Danny stares into Henry's eyes and the trio exits. Dannv
