LAVELLE:

Simon’s from the Ivory Coast.

LEARY:

Right, right. I knew it was that,

or Guyana. One of those African

countries.

*

LAVELLE:

Guyana is in South America.

LEARY:

I don’t think so, now, Father.

I was always pretty good at the

auld geography.

LAVELLE glances at him. Sips his tea.

EXT. BEACH - DAY 11

CLOSE on the skirts of LAVELLE’s black soutane as he walks

across the sandy beach. He pauses at the water’s edge and

looks out.

EXT. SAND DUNES - DAY 12

*

CLOSE on a picture -- a fair representation in charcoal of

the beach scene, but with the addition of two black

figures in a corner of the paper.

REVERSE-SHOT -- LAVELLE looking over MICHE.L’s shoulder,

impressed. MICHE.L ignoring him as he scratches away.

LAVELLE:

Not bad. Surprisingly.

I was expecting a daub.

MICHE.L

I was thinking, though, Father,

what if I was no good at all?

LAVELLE:

How do you mean?

MICHE.L

I mean, what if there’s something

you really want to do, or something

you really want to be, but you’re

no good at it at all?

LAVELLE:

That’s most people’s lives, Miche.l.

Sadly.

He looks up at the beach. Looks back at the picture.

LAVELLE:

Who are those two lads supposed to be?

MICHE.L

Don’t know. I’ve been reading these

ghost stories. Maybe it’s got some

thing to do with that. Spooky.

LAVELLE looks at MICHE.L. Pats him on the head.

INT. LAVELLE’S ROOM - NIGHT 13

LAVELLE enters, turning on the light, closing the door.

The room is spare -

Wooden bed, where his Golden Retriever, Bruno, is

sleeping. Grey wool blankets.
