The Butterfly Effect Page #3
As Evan smiles back at Kayleigh, Mrs. Boswell calmly enters the room in time to see Evan tacking up his butchered family portrait. She shivers.
EXT. SUNNYVALE INSTITUTION - DAY - 1989
Gothic. Imposing. Andrea runs up the stairs.
INT. SUNNYVALE - DR. REDFIELD'S OFFICE - CONTINUOUS
DR. HARLON REDFIELD, 40, a handsome and extremely genial man, scrutinizes a disturbing drawing.
DR. REDFIELD
And you say he doesn't remember any of it?
ANDREA:
(anxious)
Not according to his teacher. It just got me thinking about Jason and what if Evan's inherited his father's condition?
DR. REDFIELD
Hold it, hold it, Andrea. Let's not jump to conclusions. I'll run some preliminary tests, see what we can rule out.
Andrea nods and forces a thankful smile.
DR. REDFIELD
Tell you what, bring Evan here tonight and we'll run a CAT-scan series.
EXT. SUNNYVALE INSTITUTION - NIGHT
The looming building looks even more frightening at night. Andrea and Evan head up the stairs.
EVAN:
I don't like this place, Mom. It's creepy. Please can we go? I promise I won't make any more bad pictures!
ANDREA:
(lighthearted)
You'll be fine. Dr. Redfield just wants to give you some tests. You'll like him.
INT. SUNNYVALE INSTITUTION - NIGHT
Andrea leads Evan into Dr. Redfield's office. Dr. Redfield warmly greets Evan at the door.
DR. REDFIELD
Hello, Evan. It's very nice to meet you.
(to Andrea)
He's as handsome as his father.
EVAN:
(stunned)
You know my father?
Before Dr. Redfield can answer, Andrea cuts him off.
ANDREA:
That's why I wanted you to come here, Evan. Dr. Redfield already has a background in memory loss.
EVAN:
My father has a bad memory, too?
DR. REDFIELD
(off Andrea's look)
Uh, tell you what, Evan. If it's okay with your mother, I'd like to run some tests. Nothing scary.
Evan raises an eyebrow at the doctor.
DR. REDFIELD
Okay, it might be a little scary...
INT. LABORATORY - MOMENTS LATER
Evan looks terrified as he lies on a medical platform as a series of CAT-scan images are taken. In another part of the room, a distressed Andrea speaks quietly with Dr. Redfield.
ANDREA:
Just tell me that Evan doesn't have Jason's illness...
DR. REDFIELD
Look, Andrea, I'm sure he'll test negative for brain disorders. But there's something else you can try to monitor his memory.
ANDREA:
Anything.
DR. REDFIELD
A journal. Just have him write down everything he does.
ANDREA:
Why? What for?
DR. REDFIELD
It could be extremely useful to jog his memory. See if he remembers anything new the next day. And I'll have the test results back in a few days.
