Dream Boy Page #2

Synopsis: Shy and withdrawn, Nathan (played by Stephan Bender) is new to his school, unusually smart (a grade ahead) and the silent tension at home nearly unbearable. Mom, Dad, and Nathan have moved constantly, town after town, landing, inexplicably, in god-fearing "St. Francesville". Roy (played by the multi-talented Max Roeg), a year older than Nathan, confident and hard-working, drives the bus to their school while a friendship blooms between them into a relationship that is fraught with confusion and yearning. But secrets pick at the relationship, the unspoken rules of their angst-driven interactions unravel as Nathan's world again comes crashing inwards. Tension crescendos as shame and terror, stress and disaster all compete to immobilize and destroy both of their worlds.

You comin' in?

Yeah.

What are you doing after?

I've got homework,

and I've got to run an errand.

You want some company?

No, I've got to pick up

a prescription for my mom.

She's waitin' on it.

Is she okay?

Yeah, she is.

Do you want to go inside?

[Vehicle approaches]

Touch me.

Did you ever do this before

with anybody?

You promise?

I promise. I've never done this

with anybody.

'Cause it's okay

if it's just me and you.

- Hi, Roy.

- Hi, Mom.

- Hi, Nathan.

- Hi.

Roy tells me you just moved here

from somewhere,

but for the life of me,

I can't think of where.

Lake Charles.

Yeah. We used to lived in Slidell

before that.

And Pearl River.

Pearl River's a nice town.

Don't you get tired

of moving around so much?

Sometimes.

But it's all right, though.

Your family go

to the Baptist church in Clinton?

Yes, Ma'am.

You know, we go

to the Holiness church in Jackson.

And I just wanted to tell you

that your daddy

and your momma and you

are welcome to join us anytime.

Thanks, Ma'am.

Well, I better go

look after Roy's daddy.

If you boys want anything,

let me know.

Thanks, Ma'am.

It was nice meeting you.

Nice to meet you.

You wanna go riding

around town tonight?

I have to ask my mom.

I'm sure she'll say yes

if you come with me.

Hey, Mom.

Please, Ma'am, I was hoping

you might let Nathan

come out riding with us tonight.

Well, you know your daddy

don't like you to run around,

and we got

that church supper tonight.

I don't have to go this time, do I?

Well...

No.

Him and me in church

is plenty for one night.

Thanks, Mom.

Thanks, Ma'am. I'll have him back

by 11:
00, I promise.

Get ready.

I'll meet you by my truck.

Nathan?

Yes, Mom.

Do you need some money?

I got $5.

You know, your daddy's been

real nervous lately,

and I couldn't get him

to lay down last night.

He didn't rest.

NATHAN:
So, where are we goin'?

We're gonna go meet

Randy and Burke.

You drink beer?

Yeah.

You reckon' you can keep quiet

about it?

It doesn't bother me

that you drink beer. It's okay.

Answer my question.

I can keep quiet about it.

I can keep quiet about anything.

We're going swimming.

That's where we're going.

But I can't swim.

You can watch me.

BURKE:
Yeah!

[Laughing]

- BURKE:
Did you see that ride?

- RO Y:
Yeah, sure did.

What'd you think about that?

It's pretty high.

It's high, all right.

I bet you won't do it.

I bet I won't either.

I'm with you, Nathan.

I ain't jumping off

that top part either.

I got no need to break my neck.

Well, I do.

Whoo!

[Laughter]

Glad you came out here

with us, Nathan.

Let him alone, Burke.

He can't swim.

Well, maybe he'll learn

if I throw him in.

Don't bother him, Burke.
