Script

Not all the lines red from the script will actually be used in the sound of the shot; for example, the initial scream is meant to be muted in editing.

Elliott(screaming): Why are you not talking to me?!

Beat.

Elliott: What’s the point in defending him?!

Micky gets up and pulls a family picture out of his pocket

Micky: Elliott is right, Ania. How long is it that you don’t see him? He abandoned you, he fled, afraid of the consequences of what he’s done.

Elliott: But you know where he’s hiding now, and these consequences will come, won’t they, Ania?

Micky: You have nothing to lose

Elliott: Or have you?  

Micky: Think about your family Ania; think about George, about Vanessa, soon to be in high school

Elliott: Oh she’s a real beauty

Micky(lifts her chin and looks at her): Do it for them, if not for you.

Ania Looks at him with the look of who will not soccombe

They Exit the room

Micky: The girl won’t talk

Elliott: I don’t see the reason    

Micky: Maybe she’s stubborn, or maybe she actually doesn’t know

Elliott: ...

Micky: Either way, we’ll find out quite soon

Starts walking offscene, toward the torture tools

Elliott: What do you wanna do?

Micky turns back to him and gives him a cold glance
