Donnie Darko Page #5

BUNNY:

My name is Frank.

(beat)

I want you to follow me.

DONNIE:

Why?

FRANK:

I'm here to save you.

(beat)

The world is coming to an end, Donnie.

Donnie doesn't answer.

FRANK:

Look up in the sky, Donnie.

He looks up into the black night.

FRANK:

28 days... 6 hours... 42 minutes...

12 seconds. That is when the world

will end.

Donnie looks back at Frank. His expression is a vacant expanse

of confusion.

INT. FOYER - NIGHT

Elizabeth comes through the front door, leans back against

it, closes her eyes.

INT. FAMILY ROOM - NIGHT

Eddie Darko sleeps reclined in the La-Z Boy. The final notes

of the Channel 12 National Anthem fade away to static.

From above... a thunderous crash. Plaster rains from the

ceiling ...Books fly off the bookshelf as the entire wall-

mount collapses to the floor.

Eddie jerks awake.

INT. FOYER - NEXT

Elizabeth falls back in horror as plaster rains down from

around the chandelier... debris falling in the dining-room

doorway.

EXT. SEVENTH HOLE - MORNING (SUNDAY MORNING, 10 A.M.)

Donnie is curled up, asleep on the green. A golf ball lands

on the green and rolls within inches of his head.

A golf cart filled with four older men arrives. Dr. Fisher

(forty-five) gets out first.

DR. FISHER

Donnie Darko?

(beat)

Son? What's going on here?

Jim Cunningham (forty), the man riding shotgun, gets out of

the cart and walks over.

JIM CUNNINGHAM:

Who is it, Don?

DR. FISHER

Eddie Darko's kid.

Donnie gets up and brushes himself off. On his arm he sees

something written in black magic marker.
