FADE IN
INT: LOCKER ROOM - MOMENTS AFTER VICTORY AT TRAUMA
Anthony Douglas sits in a puddle of his own sweat, a towel over his bald head, wearing a t-shirt and jean shorts. Exhausted, he looks up to see the light flicker on and off, showing the filament about to blow.
ANTHONY'S VOICE
You looked good out there tonight. . .(voice echos)
Anthony stands up and looks around. He then turns to his locker and opens it. Anthony stares at Anthony, smiling.
ANTHONY IN THE LOCKER
Sometimes, you are something to be proud of.
Anthony outside the locker punches the locker.
ANTHONY'S VOICE
Other times, you are just completely embarassing!!!
ANTHONY
(yelling)
Get the f*ck away from me!
A knock at the closerd door.
MELISSA
(outside)
Anthony, the door's locked!
ANTHONY
(terrified)
Go away! Don't come in!!!
ANTHONY'S VOICE
Let her in. See what you're becoming again!
ANTHONY
Don't! Go the f*ck away from me! I. . .
ANTHONY'S VOICE
Come to the mirror.
Anthony walks to the locker and pulls out a pocket knife. He walks to the the mirror.
ANTHONY'S REFLECTION
You know you can't hurt me with that knife! You'll only hurt yourself.
ANTHONY
(puts the knife to his wrist)
Don't think I can do it?
ANTHONY'S REFLECTION
I know you can't. There's a little bimbo on the other side of that door that you want to be with too much!
ANTHONY
Shut up!!!
ANTHONY'S REFLECTION
Anthony, you're. . .
ANTHONY
ENOUGH!!!
Anthony punches the mirror, shattering another PCW mirror. Anthony's hand is bleeding.
MELISSA
[outside]
Anthony, please let me in!
ANTHONY
Don't come in.
Anthony stands up and looks at himself in the broken mirror.
ANTHONY
Why are you doing this? I don't need you anymore!
ANTHONY'S REFLECTION
You need me more than you care to believe!!!
Anthony looks around and sees a window to the outside. He climbs up to it, smashes out the window and squeezes through the window to the outside.
MELISSA
[panicking]
Anthony. . .please let me in!!!!
