Fierce People Page #3

Synopsis: Trapped in his mother's Lower East Side apartment, sixteen-year-old Finn wants nothing more than to escape New York and spend the summer in South America studying the Iskanani Indians, or "Fierce People," with the anthropologist father he's never met. But Finn's dreams are shattered when he is arrested in a desperate effort to help his drug-dependent mother, Liz, who scrapes by working as a masseuse. Determined to get their lives back on track, Liz moves the two of them into a guest house on the vast country estate of her ex-client, the aging aristocratic billionaire, Ogden C. Osbourne. In Osbourne's close world of privilege and power, Finn and Liz encounter a tribe fiercer and more mysterious than anything they might find in the South American jungle: the super rich. While Liz battles her substance abuse and struggles to win back her son's love and trust, Finn falls in love with Osbourne's beautiful granddaughter, Maya, befriends her charismatic older brother, Bryce, and even wins the

Bryce!

Open this door immediately!

I know that you're in there.

Coco, if you wanna hide from me...

you should make less noise

when you're rutting!

- What are you doing?

- Nothing.

If you wanna keep your job, you

should spend less time eavesdropping.

I don't work for you.

- What's your name?

- Finn Earl.

Right, the famous doctor's son.

Bryce, this is rude!

You already stood me up for tennis!

We're gonna be late to see your father!

I don't know

what he sees in that girl.

She claims to be a Nigerian princess.

But people claim to be all sorts

of things they're not these days.

Don't they?

Honor bright.

Are they making faces

behind my back?

No.

Get back!

No Bryce, no Coco.

My thanks, young squire.

And your name is, sir?

- Finn.

- Finn!

You're a gentleman and a scholar,

and a most gifted bullshitter.

Thank you. Where is

your grandfather's house?

Walk through those big firs, stay

on the path and you can't miss it.

- Got it. Thanks.

- Good day.

- Bye, Finn.

- Bye.

You smoke pot with my girlfriend

again, you're dead.

Now get the f*** out of here.

F***!

Sh*t!

Sh*t!

Oh, man!

Oh, God!

I'm so sick of you bastards

shooting our deer!

I didn't do anything to your deer!

- Get it off me now!

- Sh*t.

Sh*t!

You're lucky you didn't hit a tendon.

How did you catch your foot?

I landed on a tin can.

- I don't like to be lied to.

- It's the truth, I swear.

- What are you guys doing here?

- We were upstairs visiting your father.

- What has my daughter done to you?

- Nothing. She helped me.

- If I were you, Finn, I'd sue us.

- Bryce, this is not funny.

I got here as quick as I could!

Lambie!

- Mom, I'm fine.

- What did you do?

- Nothing, nothing. Stop.

- Are you all right?

Don't freak out.

I'm fine.

I'm sorry, I have no insurance.

She doesn't have to worry about

the bill. Finn and I are old friends.

- You raised a gentleman

and a scholar. - Thank you!

Where are we going?

Dad, I would like you

to meet Mr. Finn Earl.

What's wrong with him?

He's in a coma.

Gates says it was a stray bullet.

F***ing poachers will shoot

anything that moves.

You don't like me putting up

the traps, dad...

but somebody's gotta stop 'em.

Leffler says he can't hear

what I'm saying.

Do you think it's weird...

that I talk to my dad if I

know he can't hear me?

I've never even seen my dad

and I write him letters all the time.

He always likes meeting my friends.

We are friends, right?

You don't hold the whole trap thing

against me, do you?

No. I'm actually kinda glad

it happened.

I mean, you know...

Me, too.

Maya seems like a nice girl.

Yeah. She's okay.

She invited you to her birthday party?

No. Are you invited?
