Donnie Darko Page #7

Elizabeth looks over at Donnie with a grin.

ELIZABETH:

(whispering)

They don't know where it came from.

Donnie looks over in awe as the mammoth engine is now strapped

to the flatbed truck. A man in a silver firesuit sprays the

engine down with water.

EXT. CUL-DE-SAC - MOMENTS LATER

Eddie is signing some documents in front of Garland at a

table that has been set up. Another FAA guy is there.

FAA MAN:

(pointing to the

document)

And then here as well.

Eddie signs off, and Garland takes the documents.

GARLAND:

We've arranged for you to stay at a

hotel, get some sleep. We'll take

care of things here.

Eddie picks Samantha up into his arms. He stands with Rose

and Elizabeth... turning towards Donnie... who seems lost in

a trance.

EDDIE:

Come on, Donnie... we're going to a

hotel.

INT. HOLIDAY INN, ROOM 614 - SUNDOWN (SUNDAY NIGHT, 5:30

P.M.)

Donnie lies in bed, watching television. Elizabeth is spread

out on the other bed. Samantha sits on the edge of Elizabeth's

bed, holding a stuffed unicorn named Ariel.

SAMANTHA:

If it fell from a plane, then what

happened to the plane?

ELIZABETH:

They don't know, Samantha.

SAMANTHA:

Is there any way that we can make

money from this? Couldn't we get on

television if we sue the airline?

INT. HOLIDAY INN, ROOM 615 - NEXT

Rose and Eddie lie awake in the dark.

ROSE:

So let me get this straight. No

airline will claim ownership of the

engine. So we have to wait for the

FAA to decide who fixes my roof.

(beat)

F*** that. We're taking the money

out of savings.
