The River King Page #3
That's where I'm going,
the Haddan School.
Yeah, but you're not an idiot.
That's the difference.
I'm August Pierce.
Born on the 7th day
of the 7th month...
and cursed with bad luck.
Choose a number between 1 and 20.
And don't tell me what it is.
Go on, choose.
Okay.
Three.
Was I right?
I was right, wasn't I?
Yeah, you were right.
Simple probability. Most people
go for either 3 or 7.
I'm not most people.
And we might as well
get this over with, okay.
I'm not interested
in flirting...
in you.
Why would you be?
What did the Chief
wanna talk about last night?
He said that the kid probably
fell in the river upstream...
floated down
He's basing this on what?
He was there?
Look, the kid, between September
and November of last year...
had been to the nurse's office
5 times...
for extreme migraines.
He was on his third
anti-depressant.
He was inattentive,
he was surly...
he was isolating
from his class mates...
his grades were suffering
horrendously.
Where did you get
this information?
Last night,
Glen showed me the kid's file.
Chief?
You should get one of these, Abe.
Makes a very good cappuccino.
- You want one?
- No, thank you.
What's this about the Pierce
kid's death being an accident?
Who said anything
about an accident?
Based on the kid's medical records,
You don't think there's a possibility
somebody had a hand in this?
There's nothing to suggest
foul play. Nothing.
Come on, Chief,
you don't really believe that.
Yes, I do.
And so do the folks
at the Haddan School.
I'm sure they do.
Let it go, Abe.
You know, I don't wanna be the
amateur psychologist here, but...
do you ever stop and think that
all your concern about this...
might have something to do
with your brother Frank?
Do you mind if I ask, were you
and Gus seeing each other?
No. Harry's my boyfriend.
I can't talk to him about this,
though. He's jealous.
Gus and I used to come here
all the time.
To read or smoke cigarettes.
Talk sh*t
about other students.
Now that he's gone,
I feel like half a person.
I was hoping to spend
the Christmas holidays with him.
We were gonna go to the city
and see three movies in a row.
Eat too much.
How did Harry
feel about that?
He didn't like it.
I guess I didn't care.
Well, do you mind
if I ask you something?
What did you and Gus
argue about that last night?
Could be helpful.
Some stupid mid-term party
he wasn't invited to.
He disapproved of Harry.
a bit of an ass sometimes.
Have fun at your orgy?
Hardly an orgy.
Just a keg of beer...
and some a**holes
dancing around a fire.
