Infinitely Polar Bear Page #3
CAM:
Goddamnit, Maggie! I am a man! I
am a man! Men like to screw!
That’s what we do!
MAGGIE:
Amelia, Faith. Cover your ears.
They don’t. They watch in disbelief as Cam pounds his chest
and roars unto the skies:
CAM (CONT'D)
That’s why we have balls!
Then he rips open the hood and reaches into the engine.
Maggie finds the right key, puts it in the ignition and turns
it. Nothing. She turns it again. Nothing.
Cam slams the hood down and grins through the windshield. He
comes around to her driver’s side window. His eyes are
bright and wet and insane. He holds the distributor cap.
CAM (CONT'D)
I’m never going to let you go. I
love you all too much.
Both girls stare at him, completely still. Cam looks back at
them and sees their terrified faces looking out at him and
his face changes. A profoundly sad expression comes over
him. An expression of regret.
8.
CAM:
I’m sorry.
He staggers backwards, puts his hands in front of his face
and sinks to the driveway cross-legged. He doesn’t move.
INT. SAAB. LATER
Maggie sits in the backseat, between the girls. Faith is on
her knees, braiding her mother’s hair. Amelia looks out the
window. Cam hasn’t moved. His bare shoulders are beet red.
AMELIA:
He’s sitting on the gravel and all
he’s wearing is a bathing suit.
MAGGIE:
Sweetie, your father is very sick
right now. He’s not himself.
AMELIA:
He’s really sunburned.
MAGGIE:
Listen. Look at me.
She does.
MAGGIE (CONT'D)
I don’t want you to tell your
friends or teachers about any of
this. We know your father’s a good
person and he would never hurt us,
but it’s hard for people to
understand and it’s very sad.
Okay? Okay?
Amelia nods.
EXT. DRIVEWAY. DUSK
Two policeman lay a blanket over Cam’s shoulders and help him
into the back of their police car. Cam is docile and does
not resist. The girls watch from an upstairs bedroom.
INT. MCLEAN HOSPITAL VISITING ROOM. DAY
Maggie and the girls sit side-by-side on the couch of the
visiting room of McLean Hospital.
9.
Amelia is engrossed in “Watership Down.” Faith is making two
Barbie dolls kiss passionately and whispering. The room is
pale green, filled with tranquil watercolors.
A nurse holds the door open. Cam enters. He moves slowly
and he is hunched over, bloated and slow. He has a shaggy
beard. He wears an oversized stained t-shirt with an idiotic
logo and sweatpants. His hands tremble.
AMELIA/FAITH
Daddy!
They run to him and hug him around the waist. He pats their
heads with swollen hands. His speech is thick and slurred.
CAM:
Little. Big Little. I loved your
letters. I’m feeling much better.
