INT – PIPERS
ANDREW IS SAT ON THE BAR AS HE PULLS OUT THREE GLASSES FROM BEHIND.
DAWN
Three glasses?
ANDREW
Yeah, duh! Me, you and Garrison…silly
DAWN
Andrew Garrisons…
ANDREW
Going to be late, I know he told me
DAWN
He told you?
ANDREW
Yeah this morning before he went to work
DAWN
Andrew you’re scaring me
ANDREW
Sorry is it still to dark in here? The light hurts my eyes
DAWN
Um Andrew I need to go to the store can you please come with me
ANDREW
I want to be here when he gets back
DAWN
(almost crying)
We will – we’ll be quick I swear
ANDREW
Okay but he gets mad when I’m late
CUT TO.
INT – FAITHS APARTMENT – NIGHT
THALIA WALKS THROUGH THE DOOR AND PLACES HER KEYS DOWN ON THE TABLE BEFORE LOOKING THROUGH THE MAIL, A LETTER FROM BOSTON COLLEGE WHICH SHE LOOKS AT SADLY.
‘FAITH & JONES’ FLICKER IN BEHIND HER AS SHE SLUMPS HERSELF OPPOSITE CONNOR
CONNOR
Why the long face?
THALIA
Confirmation
CONNOR
From college?
FAITH
(to Jones)
What’s going on?
JONES
You’re still the same, always asking what’s gonna happen rather than waiting for the movie to end.
CONNOR
You’re sure about this?
THALIA
Can’t afford not to be
FAITH
Not to be what?
JONES
Will you just listen!
THALIA
You’re starting the new job, Dawns really needing time out after the past few months…someone’s gotta replace Faith as head patrol gal slash guy
FAITH
What?
Boston College, Yesterday
FAITH
Will you warn me when you’re going to do that?!
SHE LOOKS OVER TO SEE THALIA SAT IN THE CHAIR OPPOSITE THE DEAN – HE LOOKS DISSAPOINTED AS DOES SHE.
DEAN
But your grades have improved so much
THALIA
Really it’s not an educational thing it’s personal things and I’m sorry but that’s the way it is
DEAN
Well, I’m sorry to hear that maybe you could, re-enrol when things smooth over
THALIA
Maybe
back to Faiths apartment
FAITH
Stop it! I can’t believe she just done that
JONES
Believe it
CONNOR
I thought you were gonna drop out anyway?
THALIA
Well I was til I became Miss Boston Coma 2005 and got a new perspective on life’s general not long-ness.
CONNOR
Wanna patrol? I’m feeling like you need to kick things
THALIA
(sigh)
Sure, Pummel works.
CUT TO.
INT – ANDREWS CAR – DAWN IS DRIVING, OR TRYING TO.
ANDREW
Dawn you can’t drive
DAWN
I so can!
ANDREW
Hey, this isn’t the way to the
(holding on for life)
eyes on the road!
(beat)
…store, this isn’t the way to the store!
DAWN
Sure it is
ANDREW
Nah ah! I’ve lived here for like ever
DAWN
Since spring
ANDREW
Yeah well I know where the store is and this isn’t the local
DAWN
We’re stretching
THE CAR PULLS UP AT THE SIDE OF THE GRAVEYARD AS DAWN STEPS OUT AND OPENS ANDREWS DOOR.
ANDREW
We’re patrolling? You tricked me
DAWN
Come on
ANDREW
You never take me patrolling – unless I’m…am I bait?
DAWN
Andrew!
ANDREW
I’m coming!
CUT TO.
INT – GRAVE YARD – NIGHT
DAWN AND ANDREW SLOWLY WALK THROUGH SIDE BY SIDE AS SHE STOPS, ANDREW IS LOOKING UP AT THE STARS.
DAWN
Andrew look at me
(beat)
Now!
ANDREW
The stars are real pretty tonight
DAWN
Andrew!
ANDREW
Look at that one, Garrison would love that, I should call him and…
DAWN
Andrew he’s dead.
SILENCE.
ANDREW
Don’t be silly
ANDREW STARTS TO WALK AWAY, DAWN FOLLOWS AND GRABS HIM BY THE ARM
ANDREW
Lalalalalala I’m not listening
DAWN
Listen to me! He’s gone Andrew, Garrison is gone
(soft)
He’s not coming back
ANDREW
Yes he is! He said he’ll always be with me!
DAWN
Andrew
ANDREW
No! He’s coming back he’s just gone away for a while, he’ll come back, he’ll find me
DAWN
Andrew, he’s not coming back
ANDREW IS FORCING HIMSELF INTO DENIAL AS BOTH HE AND DAWN ARE BEGINNING TO CRY.
ANDREW
But why would he lie to me? Why would he do that?
DAWN
I…I don’t know, I’m sorry
ANDREW
No! Then he’s not gone – he’s not dead
ANDREW BEGINS TO WEAKEN AT THE KNEES, SLOWLY SLIPPING DOWN WHERE HE COMES FACE TO FACE WITH GARRISONS HEAD STONE.
ANDREW
I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!
HE BEGINS TEARING AT THE GRASS AND PUNCHING THE HEAD STONE, HIS HANDS BLEEDING
ANDREW
You left me! You lied to me I hate you! You lied!
DAWN PULLS HERSELF DOWN BESIDE HIM AND TRIES TO PUT HER ARMS ROUND HIM AS HE FALLS BACK KICKING THE HEADSTONE
ANDREW
You’re a liar! You never loved me or you wouldn’t have left me on my own! I’m all on my own and it’s your fault
(out of breath)
It’s your fault I hate you
HE BEGINS TO LOSE RESISTANCE AS HE FALLS BACK INTO DAWNS ARMS
ANDREW
(quiet)
I love you so much
(to Dawn)
Where’d he go?
DAWN
(crying)
In your heart
CAMERA SWIRVE: FAITH IS WATCHING ON IN PAIN AS JONES STAYS BY HER SIDE.
FAITH
I didn’t even know he died
(angry)
Why didn’t I know any of this happened?
JONES
(blunt)
Because you weren’t here
FAITH LOOKS UP AS TWO VAMPIRES START OVER TOWARDS THE TWO OF THEM, BUNDLED ON THE FLOOR CRYING TO EACHOTHER.
FAITH
Dawn!
JONES
She can’t hear you
FAITH
I have to help her!
JONES
Why you think that you’re the only one who can?
FAITH LOOKS BACK UP AS THE VAMPIRES BECOME DUST TO REVEAL CONNOR AND THALIA STANDING, STAKES AT HAND.
JONES
They’ve got eachother’s backs – what’d you think life would crash down without you? You’re not that needed
Faiths Apartment, Christmas Day 2005
THALIA, CONNOR, DAWN & ANDREW ALL SIT AROUND EXCHANGING GIFTS.
DAWN
Buffy is already drunk
ANDREW
Really?
DAWN
I went by for five hours and she was already on the floor by the time I left
CONNOR
Crazy
FAITH
(to Jones)
What’s this?
JONES
It’s the part where you make a choice
FAITH
What kind of choice?
JONES
Christmas Day – it’s in what two days? There’s an empty seat next to Dawn
(beat)
You gonna fill it?
FAITH
They don’t need me
JONES
Maybe not, but do you need them?
END OF PART THREE
FAITH
Do I need them?
JONES
You never thought about it? Whether you need your sister or the girl who’s become your best friend? The boy who’s all you have left of the only person to believe in you?
FAITH
I don’t know
SHE CONTINUES TO LOOK ON.
DAWN
I’m just gonna go call, check up on Buffy
INT – DAWNS ROOM
SHE SITS ON THE EDGE OF HER BED AND LOOKS AROUND HER, SMILING TO HERSELF SHE OPENS THE DRAW AT HER BEDSIDE AND PULLS OUT A PHOTO FRAME.
SHE SMILES AT IT BEFORE SLIPPING IT INTO A BOX AND TYING A BOW AROUND IT.
SHE SIGNS THE NAME ‘FAITH’ ON THE LABEL AND SIGHS.
DAWN
Maybe next year
SHE SLIPS THE PARCEL BACK INTO THE DRAW AND CHECKS HERSELF IN THE MIRROR BEFORE LEAVING.
JONES
Made up your mind yet?
Back to the road, where the car originally broke down
FAITH
Why are we here again?
JONES
You blind? We’re at a crossroads – it’s your call Faith
FAITH
Jones I never got to say that night what I…I mean…
JONES
I Know
FAITH
Let me say it
(pause)
I loved you
JONES
I know
FAITH
Thanks
JONES
Don’t mention it, who knows maybe we’ll bump into eachother soon
FAITH
I’m gonna die?
JONES
That depends
(smiles)
Also, I didn’t say that
FAITH SMILES AT JONES AS HE VANISHES
INT – DAWNS ROOM – December 22nd 2005’
SHE AWAKES AND LOOKS AROUND THE ROOM – NOTHING. SHE PUTS HER HEAD BACK DOWN TO FALL ASLEEP.
CUT TO.
EXT – ROADSIDE
FAITHS/JONES CAR IS PARKED AT THE SIDE, IT’S NOT MOVED SINCE BEFORE. FAITH IS NOWHERE TO BE SEEN.
CUT TO.
EXT – ROADSIDE PHONE BOX – NIGHT.
FAITH IS STOOD PUNCHING IN NUMBERS.
CUT TO.
INT – DAWNS ROOM – MORNING
THE PHONE BEGINS RINGING AS DAWN LEAPS UP EXCITED.
DAWN
Hello?
(beat)
Hey you got a hangover?
CUT TO.
EXT – ROADSIDE PHONE BOX – NIGHT
FAITH HANGS UP THE PHONE DISSAPOINTED AS THE IT BEEPS THE ENGAGED TONE. SHE LOOKS UP AT THE SKY AS ONE STAR SHINES BRIGHTER THAN THE REST – SHE SMILES AND HEADS OFF TOWARDS THE CAR.
END.
