Panic Page #3

Synopsis: Alex, a sad-eyed mournful man, goes into psychotherapy: he discloses he's a hit man. He also tells the doctor, after a few sessions, that he's attracted to a young woman he's met in the waiting room. She's Sarah, 23, quick, edgy, and perhaps attracted to him as well. But he's married, the dutiful father of a young precocious boy, so Sarah brushes him off. In flashbacks we see him get his start as a killer, at his father's prompting: it's the family business. Dad gives Alex his next assignment: to kill the therapist. Alex keeps returning to Sarah, calling her, stopping by her apartment, as he decides what to do about the hit, his father, his marriage, and his malaise.

All the particulars are in there, the

client wants the job done in about a month.

Three weeks to figure it out. What would you

Eat your chicken a la king.

Terrific.

As good as beck? Absolutely.

Dad? Hmm?

I figured out my future.

You're ahead of me, kid.

First, I'm gonna join the army.

I'll probably get killed.

But if I don't get killed,

I'll be a rock-and-roll star.

Don't tell your mother about the army part.

It's just gonna upset her.

Okay. Mom, I'm gonna

join the army.

What? I'll probably get killed.

What is he talking about?

Plans. He's got plans.

I hate this shirt. What's

Blue. He doesn't like blue.

Oh, it's a brand-new shirt.

I like green. I'm going

through a green phase.

Wear it and like it, okay?

Ah, sh*t, his lunch.

Mom, you said the "s" word.

Sorry.

???? Sammy, please.

Dad? Yeah.

When can I get a guitar?

When you've mastered

the harmonica.

When can I get

an electric guitar?

When you've got your own house.

Gimme a kiss.

Lunch box. Backpack.

I love you. Bye.

Bye, dad.

What floor?

Excuse me?

You forgot to push the floor button.

Oh, I'm just riding.

"Just riding"? Yeah.

To pass the time.

It's less dangerous than the

freeway, and I like the music.

You just ride up and down? Up

and down, up and down, yeah.

Are you a hooker? Don't I wish.

Do I look like a hooker?

Yep. Really?

Yeah. Oh.

This is my floor. Good night.

Um, would you like

some company?

I hated that hairstyle.

I looked like a poodle.

You looked great.

Remember our first date? Oh, yeah.

We went to the movies.

Which movie? Something

with, um, billy crystal...

and gregory hines.

I love gregory hines. I know.

And then what?

Then we went to dinner.
