This is the part where they kinda fall in love a little bit. But I feel like anything we put here wouldn't do justice to what happens when a person you meet ends up in your life out of nowhere. But know that it's exactly how you expect it to be, but also more. It's a big inside joke that you can't mess up and only one other person in the world gets It's not a very pretty or perfect love, or even necessarily a romantic love. It doesn't look cool. It's more like two helpless things in the wild, and one says "I'll protect you", and both parties know it's a lie because there's no way either of them can protect the other from anything. That lie is the best way to describe this love. That feeling of not having to say "I'm scared", because you share the feelings without having words over or under complicate it, that's worth more than protection. It's a connection. The less alone. This is all we look for on earth The Boy and Naomi hang a lot. They spend the night and make breakfast sometimes. He buys stuff for her. She makes him stuff. They watch cartoons together. They're always saying things, giving opinions, feeling interesting. They both have a purpose. a great time. Time passes The Boy starts moving small amounts of weed out the mansion, but starts selling more to keep up, along with stuff that isn't weed. He started growing crop in the nursery. The electricity bill would be high, but he stopped living in the mansion. He started renting another place to stay and keep the business To be honest it was getting a little out of hand, as Naomi predicted. The Boy is not a good dealer. A lot of people think you have to be cold and calculated, which he was to an extent. But you also have to know people. How act/react. But it was still kinda fun up to this point
INT. HOME - DAY The Boy is washing dishes as Naomi stands next to him. They just had
Howbout'sm China, IL? BOY: Can't NAOMI: why? BOY: I got a run to do Oh
NAOMI (CONT'D): I thought you having other guys do that now THE BOY: I am. Fam do this one If you're putting up the money you shouldn't be making the run THE BOY: I don't trust anyone else to do it NAOMI: You don't really trust THE BOY: I you You shouldn't
The Boy stops. She got em
THE BOY: You're I don't want to be right. I wanna help you THE BOY (said dumb): "I wanna be right"
She doesn't laugh. He hopes she's LOLing inside. Cellphone vibrates on the counter across from them. The Boy goes and reads the text
THE BOY (CONT'D): I go NAOMI: THE You okay? I'm fine THE BOY: Is a fake "I'm fine" NAOMI: No. It's what "I'm fine" always
Nothing real is ever "fine". this
THE BOY: be back
He out. They don't see each other anymore
EXT. - DAY The Boy is driving down the highway to "Danny Glover" by Young Thug
EXT. - DAY The car parks in the driveway. There are three cars already there. When he pulls up, he's playing "Made in America" by JAY Z and Kanye. When it goes off, he singing his version while walking up
THE Sweet Cream Havarti/ Sweet Mozzarella/ Sweet Cheez-its. They're made in America/ Sweet Bowl of Cheez-its/ Ohhhhh-oohhhhh-
Four dudes are standing waiting at the door Something is The Boy stops singing and there in front of the dudes. They look at him. Alone all pull out 45s

INT. - DAY They all in
DUDE 1: the packs? THE BOY: In that 1: Sit over there
The Boy sits in the living room. Maybe he could run out the back? Where though? They're at the top of a mountain. If someone heard a shot in this neighborhood, call the police immediately. Unfortunately, there isn't a police department in the Palisades. He'd be waiting for the Santa Monica department, which would take a minute The feeling The Boy had now was shockingly similar to the feeling he got at his own parties. People he didn't know or like casually walking through his home and him having to pretend everything is "fine", or they don't have all the power Maybe he could Fam
1 (CONT'D): Give me your phone
The Boy him his phone. Fuck Two dudes stand guard at the front and exits. One dude packs the bricks from the closet in a trash bag. Dude 1 (seems to be the leader) is looking through The Boy's phone It didn't feel like the day The Boy was going to die. Not to say The Boy feel like he was going to die, he was certain he was going to die today. But he didn't feel like today felt like a/the last day/night. Like a Wednesday that keeps feeling like a Friday. But the more he thought about it, if the last day felt like the last day, the world would be a different place. The order we have everyday would vanish if you were guaranteed a warning. People wouldn't live like they do. They wouldn't care what you thought. It'd be anarchy. Or a utopia. Depending on who you ask Dude 1 puts The Boy's phone in his pocket. The Boy doesn't if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Dude 1 and Dude 2 start talking. It's obvious they're discussing The Boy's fate If I was the director, the one who made this moment, the one who saw this moment millennia before, the one who coded this world and allowed this to happen, I'd have Thundercat's "We'll Die" playing as The Boy looks around at his once
...try to do best
Oh! like Tony Montana. But resigned and, frankly, more realistic, cause it's boring. Everybody dies. Most of them are boring All the dudes walk out except Dude 2. He stays. Dude 1 still has his phone as he walks out. The Boy realizes action is bad
DUDE 2: Toss me wallet
is bad. The Boy tosses the wallet. Dude 2 looks through it
BOY: Can I drown?
Dude 2 up
THE BOY (CONT'D): I just to die how I want There's a pool out there. You're supposed to get this wave of euphoria when you drown. to be good
Dude 2
THE BOY (CONT'D): I just float there. They'd find me
2 starts to walks over... (Does it change anything when you're of your last thoughts?) 2 sits next to him
DUDE 2: We've been watching you for a while. very sloppy
He's a cop. nigga's a cop
DUDE 2 (CONT'D): I'm just gonna stay with you for a minute. My guys are picking up those guys up the street THE Oh
THE BOY (CONT'D): I'm going to 2: Yep
The Boy looks to the pool in the and sees his own body floating lifeless
Eyes wide, bubbles clinging to his face. Orange, yellow, and brown leaves float above him. His left shoe floating far ahead, probably from struggling at some point. Next to the pool, Naomi and Steve stand over him. Neither is crying or really seem too upset. They just look on as if the movie they were watching took an abrupt and they're mildly interested rather than satisfied It looks peaceful. Fitting. like to go out like that
...what's sound?
Tires outside. Dude 2 stands up. There's a small crash outside. Yelling
FREEZE!
The Boy and Dude 2 look at other Dude 1 kicks open the door. He starts firing. Dude 2 falls. A mist of red puff spurts his chest. He's screaming Dude 1 to The Boy and sho
