The Silent Thief Page #3

Synopsis: The Silent Thief is a psychological thriller that examines familial bonds, the human need to belong and the thin line between sanity and insanity. Brennan Marley is an outcast drifter who threatens to destroy a family's unity by displacing their biological son, Mike Henderson, while he is away at college. Hungry for acceptance and exceptionally cunning, Brennan becomes a boarder at the Henderson family's beach home under false pretenses. Claiming that he is an orphan from England, Brennan uses his manipulative prowess to ingratiate himself with each member of the Henderson family before Mike returns home from college for Christmas vacation. As Brennan's tactics become increasingly pernicious, psyches are driven to the breaking point, long buried family secrets are revealed and violence ensues.

Pathetic.

Why are you forcing Brennan to

sleep on the couch?

I didn't force him to do sh*t.

Alright, we played rock, paper,

scissors for it tonight and he lost.

Yeah, well, you forced him

to lift weights.

Did he come home crying to you?

No, Alex called me.

Look, he could have

hurt himself.

You, out of all people, know what can

happen if you push yourself too far.

I know you don't like

anybody staying in your room,

There's something off about

him, Elise.

I mean, did you guys check him

out at all?

Mike, he's a really nice guy.

Oh my god, you like him.

Admit it.

Mike, good night.

Admit it!

Do you know what

that feels like?

To be disrespected?

I know. I did it. I'm sorry.

And what about the f***ing

cacti? You like cacti.

I know.

Okay... I was being

an a**hole.

Yeah,

how about a thoughtless and arrogant prick.

Okay. I deserve it.

But I was just pissed off.

Alright, but I'm leaving

tomorrow...

and I want to be with

you tonight.

What is your problem with

Brennan, anyway?

He seems like a nice guy.

I just don't like him.

That's not like you, mike.

You need to relax.

I'm gonna be back

in a month, alright?

I'll make this up to you,

I promise.

She does this every time

mike leaves.

It's why we rented out the room.

Where are you going?

To help.

Mike's back in a month, he's counting on

you to have this house ready for Christmas.

Don't want to disappoint him

now, do you?

No, of course not.

Did Elise put you up to this?

What?

Trying to make me feel better.

No, it was my idea,

Mrs. Henderson.

You know, I never really knew

my mother.

She died of cancer when I was

very young.

You know, you remind me of her.

Smell like her.

Ah, so sweet.

I'm so sorry about your mommy.

It's okay.

I'll take these clothes up to mike's

room for you, Mrs. Henderson.

You can call me Candi.

How about mum?

Of course.

Call me what you like.

Cheer up, mum.

Who's your idol?

Schwarzenegger.

Him?

Yeah,

Six time Mr. Olympia,

Film icon, governor of

California,

Stud.

And you're obsessed

with his pecs.

Just admit it. I have pecs.

But his are better.

I'm gonna pretend

you didn't say that

Because I definitely have

better hair and a better ass.

I have a casual ass.

What?

You have a casual ass?

What does Schwarzenegger have?

He's got a serious

ass, obviously.

Name something that

grosses you out.

Peanut butter.

Peanut butter, you poor child.

Yeah, I'm allergic

to it, a**hole.

And secondly, I... I don't know,

the texture is just like, you know.

The texture's what?

Okay, who would win in a fair fight:

Superman or wolverine?

Superman.

Is that your final answer?

Yeah, it's no contest.
