Dad– What took you so long?

Alex– Charlie had to stop for gas.

Alex– No he’s not dad. Chill out.

Dad– No, I’m serious

Alex mother walks in.

Alex– Yeah, my dad got it for Mel.

The two walk away.

Alex– I got the controllers.

Alex- Yeah……..

Charlie– You gotta make sure, man. We gotta stop putting this off. If were gonna do D-Day, we gotta be prepared. We gotta know how to shoot.

Alex– Ok, ok, ok. I’ll check.



3:47 PM

Alex has set up a “video journal” in his room. The camera rolls as he sits in front of it.

Alex– I’m… I’m really ready for D-Day.

Silence. Alex looks around. He faces the camera and smiles weakly.

Alex– We planned it for years– – (Chuckles) Damn, we’re gonna be on the news.

Silence….

Alex– We gonna leave all of you guys behind. We’re….we’re gonna leave our mark.

Silence….

Alex– Yeah….

Charlie is holding a makeshift pipe bomb.

Charlie– Make sure you got the caps on right. Alex– I got it, I got it. Charlie– No you don't, look (Pointing to ground) You got some of the powder on the floor!

Alex– The powder will come off.

Charlie– No it won’t (Sighs then walks over)

Charlie– Man, now we’re gonna have to get some more. You got any money?

Alex– Yeah.

August 5th

The two are in Alex’s yard. They have just finished digging a hole. Alex holds a metal box. The duo stare at the hole.

Alex– So….. What are we gonna put in this time capsule?

Charlie– I don’t know yet. We gotta put stuff in there that people will remember us by once we’re gone. Don’t just load it with stupid shit.

Alex– I got some pictures of me.

Charlie– Yeah, I guess you can put it in there. Well I got some journal entries.

Alex– Yeah……. (Thinking) Oh yeah, I can put my recordings in there.

Charlie– You’re recording yourself?

Alex– Yeah, and?

Charlie– Nothing. You better hope they fit inside. Otherwise we’ll have to get a bigger box and dig another hole.

Alex– They’ll fit.

Charlie– Wait, let me see them. I don’t wanna wait and find out they won’t fit.

Alex– Ok, hang on… (Runs back to the house)



Two minutes later….



Alex returns with some tapes.

Alex– Here. (Hands tapes to Charlie)

Charlie places them in the box.

Charlie– They fit. Just don’t go putting your whole life story in here. Only put the important tapes in here.

Alex– Maybe we should make a video together.

Charlie– (Laughing) That didn’t sound right!

Alex thinks.

Alex– Wait, what?

He finally gets it.

Alex– Man, get your head out of the gutter. I mean make a final farewell video the day before we do it.

Five Minutes Later….

Charlie is shooting with a rifle.

Uncle– You aiming too high. Don't put the stock in your underarms. Have it on your shoulder. See?

Charlie– Oh, I see.

Alex– Which of these guns are good against human targets?

Charlie gives him another look. He walks away, pissed off.

Dad- I told you to stop hanging around with him.

Alex- He's my only friend,dad.

Charlie- You just don''t get it do you?!

Alex- What the hell did i do now?!?

Charlie- You're attracting too much attention! What if Hank tells?! Huh?

Charlie walks away.

Charlie- Damn it!

Alex- I'm tired of acting like a stiff! We can't do anything anymore! Its like you don't even trust me!

Alex- I know. I wanna go out as a "genius" when its over. I want the news to say "Oh look he was smart. He was a genius."

Charlie- And I can be the tough guy leader.

Alex (Laughs) Leader?

Dad- Alex.

No response. Alex's dad taps him on the shoulder. Alex takes off the earphones and faces him.

Dad- You need to get out more. Make some friends, plat on a sports team, something. I'm tired of seeing you everyday on you computer.

Alex- Ok. I'll do it.

May 18th

8:43 PM

The two are sitting in seats behind a white wall.. They have papers.

Alex- Hello, this will be our final entry and probably the last day you'll see us alive.

Charlie- First and foremost, we are not doing this for attention. Don't- just don't look for typical reasons, you won't find any. Its way more complicated. We're not crazy if we want to take our own lives. If you say its selfish or crazy, but have you ever stopped and used your fucking head for once? Maybe its merely someone with a different view from your own. Is it a sign of madness to disagree with the masses? Well fuck you.

Alex- Everyone has those murderous fantasies once and a while. Dreams of killing the ones who they hate. Well we're just acting out our dreams. Is that wrong?

Charlie- Exactly. It always irked me that people always "wanted to get us help." First of all: Why? What for? I mean.... you want us to take drugs that make us stupid and obedient? Or- or to continue to live in immense depression and pain just because some selfish asshole decided to guilt trip us? Go fuck yourselves. All of you. You know, you guys had this shit coming. For years, many people have been abused. We have been abused. We are doing this not for revenge, like we said, but rather.... rather to have the survivors realize how great their lives will be and what they can improve on.

Alex- We hope to remove all the assholes of this town, so you can see how good you guys really have it. I mean-- In the end that is what everyone wants. For the little nuisances to be removed. Am I wrong?

Charlie- No. Far from it.

Alex looks at the paper.

Alex- That's it.

Charlie- Ok.

Alex gets up from his chair and turns off the camera



11:49 PM

Alex play around with his uncle's keys. Charlie is pacing.

Charlie- Would you hurry up. Somebody might see us.

Alex- I'm coming.

The door "clicks". Alex swings open the door

Alex- Come on

Charlie- Grab as much as you can fuckin' carry. I'm not coming back.

Alex- I can't see shit. Its so dark. Where's the light?

Charlie- Don't turn on the light! I don't want people seeing us.

Alex- Fine. If I grab the wrong stuff.....

Charlie darts out of the shack, leaving Alex behind.

Alex- Wait up!

Charlie is already in the car.

Charlie- Get in!

Alex throws the stuff inside and jumps in the passenger seat. Charlie drives away.

Charlie- (Laughing) I can't believe we just got away with that!

Alex- Yeah.....
