Blackbird Page #2

Synopsis: This is a film about a troubled teen, Sean Randall, who is falsely accused of planning a Columbine shooting scenario. It all begins when an unlikely bond forms between Sean (Connor Jessup) and a preppy teenage girl named Deanna Roy (Alexia Fast). Deanna's boyfriend is deeply threatened by Sean and Deanna's friendship, resulting in a violent confrontation. Seeking to protect himself, Sean issues a death threat online - and is swiftly arrested. When the police raid Sean's home, they find rifles, shotguns, knives and ammunition - all property of Sean's father Ricky (Michael Buie), an avid hunter. They also find a supposed "hit list" with twenty names of people who have tormented Sean. The authorities and the media proclaim another Columbine has been narrowly averted, and soon Sean faces a terrifying imprisonment in a youth detention facility. Sean's only hope is to overcome his dark image, and prove his innocence to Deanna and to his community.

Oh my god!

Like the poet.

What?

Like the poet... Milton.

Oh.

This is Snuggles.

Milton... meet Snuggles.

Hello.

He comes with the room by the way.

Well I just want to come over there

with a spray can and tag your walls.

I can see that.

So were you born a goth?

You think I'm a goth?

Aren't you?

Were you born a princess?

Yes, I was.

No, this is just who I am.

If people don't like that's too bad.

You learn pretty quick

who your friends are.

And your enemies.

I just find it interesting because

I'm like totally the opposite.

I want everyone to like me.

Everyone does like you.

They like the idea of me.

They don't actually know me.

Sounds lonely.

I guess we're not so different.

Sorry, I gotta turn this down.

You didn't have to do that.

It's not muzak.

I don't know what that is.

A girl gave it to me.

What was her name, Elvira?

No, Deanna.

Not Deanna Roy?

Yeah, why?

Brian Roy's daughter?

The Puck Bunny?

I don't think they

use that term anymore.

She never misses a hockey

game is all I'm saying.

Well, sometimes girls like guys

they can talk to.

Yeah, they call them friends.

Hey, I was wondering what

you were doing at lunch?

I have a chemistry test

I have to study for.

I could help.

Did all that last year in the city.

I study better by myself.

Take a hint.

MacKenzie, you don't have to be rude.

God, Deanna, when did you become

such a freak magnet?

I should go.

Then go.

Wow, nice place.

Appearance is everything.

I'm afraid to touch anything.

Oh my god, don't look at that.

Hard not to.

Shut up!

It's better than having

guns on your wall.

The thing that bugs me about it

is the fakeness of it,

like we're a happy family or something.

So that's Big Bri, huh?

See that hand on my shoulder?

Feels like it's always there.

Tell him how you feel.

Get your f***ing hand

off me, you cocksucker.

Are you recording me?

Calm down, I'll erase it.

Sean!

Wait... let me see it first.

Get your f***ing hand

off me, you cocksucker.

Oh god, I look so angry.

Who's this?

My sister, Lily.

I didn't know you had a sister.

Half sister.

Sing the monkey song again.

I did.

Do it again.

The monkey was going.

I'm going to do it faster.

The monkey was going...

Sean, Jesus Christ,

she's not a toy you know.

You're really sweet with her.

Tell that to her dad.

He won't even let me see her.

Thinks I'm gonna kill her or something.

I heard it different.

Yeah, well my sister knows his brother,

so I think that makes

me a much better source.

Wouldn't you agree, Sean?

Yeah, Sean?

Sean, come on.

Sean, don't be a retard.

What's going on?

Who is it?

It's my mom.

Can someone please

tell me what's going on?
