SCENE 7

INT. Inside Gale's room.

Gale brushed his teeth. He is dead tired. He looks at his clock from the wall. It's almost midnight.

Gale Hughes

Fucking late... Fuck you, time.

He gets into his bed. He sees Robbie's book.

Gale Hughes

(opening the book, he starts to read)

If you want to have a perfect life... be smarter... than the others.

He smiles.

Gale Hughes

(smiling)

I want to be smarter than the others...

He reads two lines... Then he stops.

Gale Hughes

I am so tired.

He sighs.

Gale Hughes

Fuck it, Robbie. Couldn't you give me a book with pictures. Or at least the summary of the book. One page that tells me what to do to be smarter than the others...

He sighs again.

Gale Hughes

Now I have to read the entire book...

He puts the book on the bed and arranges his pillow. Then he takes the book.

Gale Hughes

Ok... 138 pages. If I read 20 every day. In one week I will be smarter than the others... So... let's read 20 pages.

Gale reads too more lines, then falls asleep.
