Carnage Page #2
NANCY:
I can just imagine.
MICHAEL:
He didn't want to tell on the kid.
Like his friends would say he was a
snitch. I mean let's be honest,
Penelope, it wasn't only a sense of
honor.
PENELOPE:
You could say that. But a sense of
honor requires a social context.
NANCY:
Naturally. So how did you..? I mean,
how did you finally get Zachary's
name?
PENELOPE:
Well because we explained to Ethan
that protecting this child was not
going to help him.
MICHAEL:
We told him, if this kid thinks he
can go on hitting people and getting
away with it, why should he stop?
PENELOPE:
We told him that if we were that
child's parents, we would absolutely
want to know about this.
NANCY:
Of course.
ALAN:
Yeah.
6.
ALAN’s cell phone vibrates. He quickly pulls it out of his
jacket pocket.
ALAN (CONT'D)
Excuse me one second.
ALAN walks away from the others. While he speaks, he takes a
newspaper out of the pocket of his overcoat.
ALAN (CONT'D)
Yes Walter, thanks for getting
back to me. So it's in this
morning's Journal. I'll read it to
you. "According to a study
published by British journal
Lancet, two Australian researchers
have identified neurological side
effects of TW Pharma's anti-
hypertension medication Antril,
including impaired hearing and
muscle coordination, and ataxia."
WALTER (O.S. - TEL)
F***ing hell. How come nobody told
me about this?
ALAN:
Who the hell does your press
monitoring over there?
WALTER (O.S. - TEL)
This is going to be trouble.
ALAN:
Yeah, you’re in deep sh*t.
WALTER (O.S. - TEL)
So what do we do? Do we respond right
away?
ALAN:
No, my problem is the A.S.M. You
have an Annual Stockholders
Meeting in two weeks. Did you
schedule a contingency for
litigation?
WALTER (O.S. - TEL)
I’m not sure, I’ll have to check.
ALAN:
OK. And Walter, Walter. Talk to PR
and find out if it was picked up
anywhere else.
WALTER (O.S. - TEL)
Right, right.
7.
ALAN:
And call me back.
(hangs up:
)Sorry.
MICHAEL:
So you're like a...
ALAN:
An attorney.
NANCY:
And yourself?
MICHAEL:
Houseware supply. Penelope is a
writer and she works part time in a
bookstore, mostly art books and
history books.
NANCY:
A writer?
PENELOPE:
I co-wrote a volume about Sabean
civilization, working from artifacts
recovered when they resumed digs
after the Ethiopia-Eritrea conflict.
And now I have a book coming out in
January about the Darfur tragedy.
NANCY:
So you specialize in Africa.
PENELOPE:
I'm interested in that part of the
world.
NANCY:
Do you have any other children?
PENELOPE:
One daughter. Courtney is nine.
She's very angry at her father right
now. He got rid of the hamster last
night.
