Unbreakable Page #4

One of the group is a man who glances through the opening in the curtain. He

notices David sitting up from across the room.

THE MAN IN SCRUBS leaves the group and walks over.

MAN IN SCRUBS:

How are you feeling?

DAVID:

Okay.

He FLASHES A LIGHT in David's eyes.

MAN IN SCRUBS:

You are in the emergency

room of the University of

Pennsylvania Hospital. You

were in a serious accident.

(beat)

How's your vision?

DAVID:

Fine.

David stares across as the scene with the other patients becomes more frantic and

disturbing.

MAN IN SCRUBS:

Where were you sitting on

the train?

DAVID:

Against a window.

MAN IN SCRUBS:

In the passenger car?

DAVID:

Yes. Where are the rest of

the passengers?

MAN IN SCRUBS:

Was your family traveling

with you?

DAVID:

No.

MAN IN SCRUBS:

Did you get up from your

seat?

DAVID:

No.

David watches the other patient.

MAN IN SCRUBS:

You're certain you were in

the passenger car?

David turns to the man.

DAVID:

Yes... Why are you looking

at me like that?

Beat.

MAN IN SCRUBS:

Your train derailed... Some

kind of malfunction... It

took a curve way to fast. A

second train collided with

yours after it derailed. The

debris is spread over one

mile. It's unbelievable they

said.

(beat)

They only found two people

alive so far... You and him.

David looks to the other passenger now laying unnaturally still in the desperate

whirlwind of activity around him.

MAN IN SCRUBS:

The man's skull was cracked

open and most of his left

side was crushed.

Beat.

MAN IN SCRUBS:

And to answer your question,

there are two reasons why

I'm looking at you like

this.

David turns and stares at the man.

MAN IN SCRUBS:

One, because it seems, in a

few minutes, you will

officially be the only

survivor of this train

wreck.

(beat)

And two, because you don't

have a scratch on you. You

didn't break one bone.

CUT TO:

INT. EMERGENCY RECEPTION AREA - EVENING

David moves through the depressing milky corridors of the hospital. He opens a

set of double doors.

A room crammed with cameras and photographers explodes with movement.

A CHILD'S VOICE BREAKS THEIR NOISE.

JEREMY:

I told you!

Jeremy Dunne pushes forward through the mob of people and cameras. He bursts out

and runs to David. He wraps his arms around David's waist. David just stands

there, aware that the cameras are catching it all. He's overwhelmed.

Hospital staff and a couple police officers push the media back.

Jeremy tugs David to lean down. He does.

JEREMY:

They thought everybody on

the train died.

David looks at his son's face. Wipes the tears on his cheek.

JEREMY:

I told them they were wrong.

A woman moves to them. David stands up and faces Megan Dunne.
