Margaret Page #3

Synopsis: Margaret centers on a 17-year-old New York City high-school student who feels certain that she inadvertently played a role in a traffic accident that has claimed a woman's life. In her attempts to set things right she meets with opposition at every step. Torn apart with frustration, she begins emotionally brutalizing her family, her friends, her teachers, and most of all, herself. She has been confronted quite unexpectedly with a basic truth: that her youthful ideals are on a collision course against the realities and compromises of the adult world.

Please!

It's okay.

She's gone.

No! No!

She's gone.

Please let go of me!

Please, let go of me!

Please, let go of me!

Just hang on. They're gonna

be here any minute, okay?

So just hang on!

You're gonna be okay!

You were going

the speed limit?

Yeah.

Lisa? You're Lisa? I just want to

ask you a few questions, okay?

Yeah, sure.

Now, just tell me

everything you saw,

even if you think it might

not be important. All right?

Think of it like a movie.

Like you're watching' a movie

in your head...

It was green as I

came to the intersection.

Could

somebody call my mother?

We already called

your mom,

but I'll have 'em put another call

in to your mother right now, okay?

I know this is

hard for you,

but we gotta get this while it's

still fresh in your mind, okay?

Some of these questions

might seem like

they don't make

a lot of sense to you.

They do make

sense. Just ask me!

Okay, that's what

I'm doin'. All right?

So now I'm gonna ask you,

from where you were standing,

could you see

the traffic light?

Could you tell me if it was red?

Yellow? Green?

She just came

out of nowhere?

What color

was the light?

Boy, I'm sorry...

I..

I guess it was green?

Green?

I think it was

just an accident.

Where were

you at?

I was on Broadway.

What happened to you?

Nothing.

Hello?

So, does anybody

know who she was?

I don't know. I guess

she lived around here

if she had all these

Fairway grocery bags.

What did they do

with her leg?

I have no f***ing idea.

Hey...

Lisa? Are you sure

you don't want me to call in?

Oh, no, thanks.

I mean, thank you.

That's really sweet.

But I'm supposed to

go see Becky anyway,

and I don't really want to sit

here thinking about it all night.

Go to work.

I'll be all right.

- Hey.

- Hey, Darren.

Hey.

Joan?

Yeah?

You got some flowers.

Can you bring 'em in?

Oh, that's good.

I'm glad you guys liked it.

You were great.

Well, we have a lot of

work to do, but it'll be good.

The critics

are gonna love it.

They don't even

know me anymore.

Hey, are you

comin' out?

Um... I don't know.

I'm not sure.

Come on.

Maybe I will.

I don't know if I'm going to.

But I might.

See you later.

Bye.

- Goodnight.

- See you later.

Hi, are you Ramon?

Yes. Hello. You were

wonderful again.

Oh, you're so sweet. And thank

you for the beautiful flowers.

You're very welcome.

And you've seen

the show before?

Yes, two times.

Gosh. That's a lot!

It's a beautiful performance.

I'm sure you will

have a big success.

Well, right now, we're just trying

to focus on what we're doing.

I don't know

if you are busy,

but would you allow

me to buy you a drink?

If you like to
