The Tracey Fragments Page #4

Synopsis: Tracey Berkowitz, 15, a self-described normal girl, loses her 9-year old brother, Sonny. In flashbacks and fragments, we meet her overbearing parents and the sweet, clueless Sonny. We watch Tracey navigate high school, friendless, picked on and teased. She develops a thing for Billy Zero, a new student, imagining he's her boyfriend. We see the day she loses Sonny and we watch her try to find him. In bits and pieces, we see what leads up to her riding in the back of a city bus wrapped in a shower curtain. Coming of age, or just surviving?

That's it, you're grounded. One month.

Oh, come on.

-That's not fair.

-Who says life's fair?

It wouldn't kill you to stay inside.

Yeah. Yeah, it would actually.

What do we do with her?

Look what you're doing to Mommy.

Two months. Grounded.

Come on, that's ridiculous.

You can't just do that.

We just did it.

Do you remember in the news

when two retards had a kid?

Well, that was me.

Just kidding.

You know, you've got a lot of work to do.

Wh-what?

Is that the kind of crap your

psychiatrist is teaching you?

I want you to phone that b*tch. That is over.

We're not paying for that sh*t anymore.

We don't even pay for it.

-The frickin' government pays for it.

-That's it.

Three months. Grounded.

Yeah. Go watch your brother.

They never should've grounded me.

Now I have nothing.

Oh, f***ing hell. Look at the crow.

Oh.

I'm gonna get him.

Don't touch it.

Shhh.

I can't stop this burning in my eyes.

And I-I can't stop this burning under my skin.

'Cause ever since I saw him everything

became this fiery blur that I can't put out.

You put a smell on it , it's going to be a freak.

Ah f***, and all the other crows are going to kill it.

Okay, nobody's killing nobody.

F*** you.

Leave me alone you horn dog.

-F*** off, don't f***ing touch me.

-Come on. Alright.

Don't f***ing...

F*** off. Don't f***ing touch me...

Yeah, f*** you. Get the f*** outta here.

Hey, hey, hey.

Don't touch me. He's got my money.

He's got my money.

Don't f***ing touch me.

He's got my f***ing money. He's got my money.

-She didn't do anything...

-I've had a long day.

-It's this dirtbag...

-You know whay, man, go with her.

-She didn't even do anything...

-I'm just trying to help you out, man.

She didn't do anything.

Are you okay?

He took my money, man. He took my f***ing money.

Thank you. Thank you.

I love you. Thank you. Thank you.

No, no, no, look. Thank you.

Thank you, thank you, man.

Thank you so... I love you, man,

I love you thank you, thank you man......

Thank you! yes! Thank you......

When a horse falls, foam comes out of its mouth.

When it falls, the legs of the horse thrash

and the horse is no good, so somebody shoots it.

The horse turns into glue.

A machine puts the glue into bottles

and children squeeze the bottles to get

the glue out and stick bits of paper on to cards.

Glue gets on the children's hands

and the children eat the glue

and the children become the horse.

(...and her shitty mother.

Hmm, I betcha think it's pretty funny. )

(Yeah, betcha think it's really funny.)

(Betcha think it's funny. )

(Huh? Think it's funny? )

(God damn son of a - God damn...)

Sonny once had a mother

who loved him very much.
