Molly Maxwell Page #2

Synopsis: At Phoenix Progressive School, where everyone tries to outdo each other with creative self-expression, 16-year-old Molly Maxwell (Lola Tash) would rather be invisible than risk revealing herself as completely ordinary. When her young, handsome, disillusioned English teacher (Charlie Carrick) enters the picture and allows her to just be herself, Molly is suddenly able to flourish. As their student-teacher bond becomes more intimate, she begins putting herself on the line in unexpected ways while pursuing what she wants. But with each awkward, beautiful step towards an impossible romance, Molly risks alienating everyone she loves.

Why do you have owls at school?

He's something, isn't he?

He's really something.

What?

Your brother.

Oh, yeah.

Don't get too carried away.

He'll probably end up on meth

working at the 7-Eleven.

Ouch.

What is that?

It's for my new elective.

I was thinking of photography, maybe.

That's great!

Observing the world from behind the lens.

I think your dad has an old film camera here.

Yeah, but everything's digital now, so...

We can go and see if there are

any workshops at Artscape.

Okay, don't.

Don't ruin it before I start, so just...

Bye.

There's leftover kale

and quinoca soup. Bye!

Photography! Well, well.

I'd need someone to supervise on independent study.

Maybe... Ben Carter?

He seems to know a lot about photography.

Well, Ben's sort of been parachuted

into this madness midyear.

It's a lot to cope with.

But Wendy, maybe Wendy could do if.

I can't wait to see your warped photos!

Maybe this is the ticket!

Don't have a fit or anything.

I can if I want.

You guys might recall that this

natural versus unnatural stuff

we also discussed when we were of Hamlet last month.

Thank you for your undivided attention, as usual.

So? What makes you think

that teaching photography to a chronic boiler like you

is how I want to spend my free time?

I've heard you didn't have anything else to do.

It's like charity.

I heard Wendy was gonna do it.

I'd feel really bad

taking her away from Art Therapy.

It's important work.

I'm sorry, Molly.

I just don't think it's for me.

Really? I thought you'd be into it.

You know, helping with my conspiracy to beat the system.

Like pirates.

Conspiracy pirates.

Yep.

Your mom's poor local organic heart will just break.

It's her own fault.

Remember that hardcore super vegan kid

Anthony at your eighth birthday party?

Oh, my God.

He chowed like 10 hotdogs

and then barfed all over the carpet.

Hey, is that the phone ringing?

I think MoMA's calling.

Thank Larry Wallace and all his naked people.

Woo naked people hell yeah

You mean you actually looked him up?

Who's Larry Wallace?

So, were you suggesting I take photos

of my naked friends as an elective?

Because I'm prelly sure that's illegal.

Wait, who?

what the f*** are you guys talking about?

I didn't even think about that.

Well, I gotta go pick up my

Teacher of the Year award, so...

Yeah.

What was that all about?

All right, come with me.

I'm going to Kensington with Caitlin and Gala.

It'll just take a minute.

Right. Well, Raymond promised me a dark room.

Great.

I think it hasn't been used for years.

Dark room?

Yes, a dark room.

You know, like for photography in ancient Times?

And what's wrong with digital?
