Donnie Darko Page #6

Synopsis: In a funny, moving and distinctly mind-bending journey through suburban America, one extraordinary but disenchanted teenager is about to take Time's Arrow for a ride. After surviving a freak accident, Donnie (Jake Gyllenhaal) begins to explore what it means to be alive, and in short order to be in love, he uncovers secrets of the universe that give him a tempting power to alter time and destiny.

Numbers... 28:
06:42:12.

Donnie stares at the numbers on his arm, confused.

DR. FISHER

(to Jim, kissing his

ass)

Sorry about this, Jim, just a... a

kid from the neighbourhood.

(back to Donnie)

So let's stay off the greens at night,

OK?

Jim Cunningham stares at Donnie with a friendly grin.

DONNIE:

Sorry, Dr. Fisher. It won't happen

again.

EXT. NEIGHBOURHOOD STREET / DARKO HOUSE - MORNING (11 A.M.)

Donnie walks down the street towards his house.

A fire engine. Two police cars. A news van... All parked in

front of his house.

There are dozens of neighbours in the street surrounding a

barricade. Donnie moves through the crowd where a Police

Officer is standing.

DONNIE:

Hey, I live here!

POLICE OFFICER:

Are you... Donnie Darko?

DONNIE:

Yeah!

The Officer lets him through.

Near the cul-de-sac there is a large caterpillar crane lifting

something from inside the house. There are firemen roaming

around. Two Police Officers are speaking with Eddie and Rose.

Donnie looks over at the house.

A crane lifts a gigantic jet engine over from the house

towards a large flatbed truck. Firemen kick pieces of wood

and shingle from the roof.

He turns and sees his entire family standing there. Eddie is

holding Samantha.

SAMANTHA:

It fell on your room.

EXT. CUL-DE-SAC - LATER ON

Two men in suits approach from a black sedan. A police officer

directs them to Rose. One of the men removes a badge from

his pocket and holds it up for Rose to see.

MAN:

Mrs. Darko, my name is Bob Garland

and this is David Coleman. We're

with the FAA. If you don't mind,

we'd like to speak with you and your

husband privately.
