[BOB] It was easier in the past.

A man knew what it meant to be a man.

You stood up to things that were wrong.

You had the right to do so.

You were expected to do so.

And the way you lived.

The training you put yourself through

prepared you for the inevitable confrontations.

Ones that could end in dismemberment

or even death.

Then something happened.

We passed laws of decency.

Lawyers became our shepards

and what once a fairly easy thing to understand

became muddled in the bureaucracy of what call being

civilized.

Man could no longer

stand up to the wrongs

that were around him.

He had to go through courts

and lawyers and trudge through

miles of red tape.

Women demanded equally and

and she got it.

Not by getting everything the man had but

but by the man being

castrated into the form

of a woman.

I don'tt care what you say.

That's not progress.

That's not evolution.

It's a disease and it needs

someone who understands

what's at stake.

Someone who can stand up like a real man.

and take action against injustice

and unfairness in this world.

Today.

Right now.

Before lunch.

Number 1 for the Office Mascot.

Number 2 for Miss Congeniality.

Number 3 for the

Early Bird gets the Worm.

And last but not least.

(Breathing heavily)

(Huffs)

Just do it.

DO IT

[Struggling]

(WHISTLING)

[Harper] Maconel!

(Music Settles)

Shelby wants this by Friday.

OK?

Make sure there's nothing missing this time.

Friday, Maconel!

Make it happen!

(Calming music)

[LOUD clanging]

[BOB] It's all about timing.

Nothing worth while is

done without it.

My time will come.

Bob?

Um, my husband's brother's

family is coming into town

next week and I was...

kinda wondering maybe if there's any possibility

you can do your yard?

I'll see what I can do.

That'd be great.

Thanks.

[Fish] Chickend out again...

didn't ya?

I didn't chicken out.

I just didn't think the timing was right.

[Fish] Oh really?

Yeah, uh huh.

The timing again.

Hey buddy,

I think I've heard that one before.

You should be happy I didn't do it today.

If I did, who'd be here to

feed you, huh?

Hey, who cares about food

as long as those goddamn

bastards die, right?

Huh?

They die.

Fuck em.

Alright thanks

Hey, hey, hey -

Hey, that's mine.

[Plastic cooking]

[TV in background]

[Radio Host] Now what exactly is your fear about these chickens?

[Guest] Well the fear exactly comes from the epidemic

of bird flu and other diseases

of the fowl.

I mean we could all die!

[Radio Host] Well I think that's just a bit extreme.

[Happy watercooler chatter]

[BEEPS]

How's thet recount coming?

You said Friday. That's tomorrow.

Tomorrow morning. I'd like to see it before then.

Why, you won't be able to

tell if I missed anything.

I am not going through this with you again.

[Jackson] C'mon, Harper, I wanna get a table with a view.

I already reserved one.

Cool.

Hey, what's this?

Hey that's mine - put it down.

C'mon, what's it do?

Give it back, put it down.

Maybe it turns on his brain- -Give it back-

Give it back.

That's mine!

Maybe it's the button to ah

blow up the entire world!

GIVE IT BACK!

Let it go.

Fine, take your stupid toy.

[LOUD CRASH]

[ELEVATOR DING]

Were you looking down my blouse?

Sorry.

Yeah, you're sorry, sorry you got caught.

I thought you were somebody else.

Oh, so I'm not the only one you're harrassing.

I'm not harrassi -

I have to deliver these.

I catch you looking at me

like that again, I'm taking it upstairs.

You know they have rules to

protect women from men like you!

Mr. Harper?

[office chatter]

Maconel!

You are so lucky you didn't go home.

I wasn't going home.

Then where were you?

I told you I wanted that list by 5.

That's why I brought them up to your office

but you weren't there.

Of course I wasn't.

I was down here looking for you.

I thought you wanted me to deliver them.

You thought?

You thought??

Gimme that-

You didn't staple it?

I used a paper clip.

Well that was really smart, wasn't it?

Hey Harp, Shelby wants you in on this conference call.

OK.

Staple those together and wait in your cube

until I get back.

We're not done with this.

[BOB] There comes a time

when the diseased and the weak

must be sacrificed

in order to save the herd.

Hey!

Anybody see Maconel??

[GUN SHOT]

(Screams)

[GUNSHOT]

(chaos)

[GUNSHOT]

[GUNSHOTS]

(screams - running)

(deathy quiet)

[Gun being reloaded]

Coleman?

Maconel.

Wow, look at what you did.

Yeah.

How did it feel?

Satisfying.

[FOOTSTEPS]

Christ

Coleman?!

[GUNSHOT HIT]

Shit Shit

[faint siren]

I think that's your cue to leave.

You don't kill this many people

and simply walk away.

No trial.

No trial.

[bullet loaded]

Oh my God - it's Venessa -

Venessa??

I thought it was that Paula bitch.

It's a common mistake.

I liked Venessa.

She had a good smile.

Great smile.

She could light up a room with that thing.

She's alive.

Venessa's still alive!

W..w..what are you doing -

I though you liked her.

That's why I wanna put her out of her misery.

How do you know she's in misery??

Believe me, it is better this way.

Wait!

Don't you need that last bullet for yourself?

Don't be telling me how to do this, Mconel

It's only because you're lamer than I am

that I haven't blown you away at this point.

Excuse me, but in as much as we may have the same feelings

about these people

I'm not half as lame as you are.

Oh no??

Then you tell what you call a man who is stupid enough

to piss off a maniac with a fuckin' loaded gun??

I'd call him a maniac

with his own fucking loaded gun.

Huh?

[5 GUNSHOTS]

No 6...

(Ominuous music)

(painful whimpering)

Venessa.

(whimpering)

It's OK...

(crying)

You're gonna make it.

C'mon...

Let me see that smile.

C'mon.

C'mon, you can do it.

(pain whimpers)

There you go.

Really does light up a room.

It's OK...

They're coming, they're coming

It's OK.

It's OK.

It's OK.

[NEWS] The 5 that were killed were all employees of

Advanced Dynamic Devices

but is not apparent if they were

target specifically or were

they were just at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Since the gunman died Ralph Coleman died at the scene

we may never know.

Jessica Light reports from the gunman's

neighborhood in Crestview.

Jessica?

Hi, I'm Jessica Light

I'm here in a typical day

in a typical suburban neighborhood

hearing the same typical question

aftre one of these tragic events...

How could this have happened here?

So tell me

what was Ralph Coleman like?

He always seemed like such a nice guy.

Yeah he ah, pretty much kept to himself.

He was such a quiet man.

(Ominous drone)

So how did you just happen to have a gun

in your desk?

I bring it with me when I'm worried.

Really...

And what worried you today?

Somebody coming into the office and shooting me.

Kinda paranoid, aren't you?

Not really

So you had an idea that

Ralph Coleman was going to do this!

No.

I thougt it was going to be

somebody in sales.

[News Music]

[NEWS] Tragic as this evemt is we're hearing

that it could have been even worse if it weren't

for the actions of one man.

A man who was apparently unafraid to stand up to a

violent world and just say -

No.

I'm not taking it anymore.

[Fish] Timing not right again?

For your information...

I did pull the trigger today.

No shit.

Then what are you doing here,

Alive?

(Faint opera)

It's a long story.

Well where the hell are we going?

Talk to me.

Some other time.

Well at LEAST TELL us if those

FUCKING BASTARDS are DEAD!

Those fucking bastards are dead.

Alright!

(Fish cheers)

So when you leaving for Fiji?

We have two weeks from tomorrow.

Oh wonderful.

Yeah, we're bring a nanny.

(Music rises)

[LOUD DOOR KNOCKS]

(Miles) Hello Mr Maconel

my name is Derrick Miles

I wonder if I might ask you

a few questions about what

happend at ADD

I'm with the Herald.

How did you get my name

they said they wouldn't give out my name.

C'mon Mr Mconel, you can't keep

something like this a secret

You're an honest god Hero!

I only killed one man.

Yeah but you killed the RIGHT man.

[VEHICLES ARRIVING]

Look, you think we could continue this

conversation inside?

No.

Please, you'll make it so much easier on yourself if you just

tell your story to one person,

it's called an Exclusive.

You're not coming into my house.

Please - Mr Maconal -

let me in before these vultures

twist your life all out of proportion!

Nooo!

[rapid door knocks]

[News people trying to get in]

Mr Maconel- please!

GO AWAY!

GO AWAY!

[crowd getting worst]

Answer a few questions, please!

Mr Maconel --

If you could just LET US IN!

[Fish] Welcome to our world, Bob.

[Metal doors opening]

[wind blowing past]

[incoming missile sound]

GASPS

[Radio talk show in background]

(FISH) Oh fish...

Well there went our 15 minutes.

[Nancy] Bob?

Hiiii.

You know how I was telling you how my company's coming in?

Is my lawn bothering you again?

Noo - noo..

Actually, I was wondering, since we're having a small

Christmas barbeque this weekend

that maybe you'd like to stop by.

It'd be nice to get to know our new neighbor.

I've lived here 5 years.

My how time flies.

[DING]

(surreal music)

(Coworkers celebrate)

(Rousing applause)

Well done, Bob!

Welcome back.

Hey, there he is!

No, Mr Maconel.

You don't work here anymore.

C'mon.

Have I been fired?

(Crowd laughs)

No, c'mon.

Where we going?

All the way.

(Musak music)

[DING]

He's waiting for you, Mr Maconel.

Right through those doors.

Oh you can go right in, Mr Maconel.

Right through those doors.

There he is.

Come on in, Bob!

I am so glad to finally meet you.

Can ah...

Can I get you anything?

Something to drink, a Pepsi or something.

Oh Bob - this is Maurice Gregory.

I bought Maurice in to

help the employees work through

the anxiety during the healing process.

Maurice is a good man and a gifted psychiatrist.

Psychiatrist?

Grief counselor.

Here, have a seat.

Have MY seat.

(chuckles)

Sit down - sit down.

A lot of people asked about you at the eulogy.

I'm sorry, I wanted to go-

Hey hey hey - you don't have to explain yourself.

No, I'm sure this has been a little bit overwhelming to you.

It has.

But you gotta understand

it takes a very rare individual

to keep his head

and then take action in the face

of certain death.

I'm a veteran.

I've had my scrapes, let me tell you.

But I knew who my enemy was

I knew what I was getting into

on the way in.

These days...

it can come from anywhere

at any time

from anyone!

That's true.

Forgive my morbid curiousity

but did you actually see it happen?

I saw...

bodies hit the floor.

Jesus...

How did you manage to not get shot?

I was...

Ahem...

I was, I dropped a

paperclip, so I was already on the floor.

Oh my God

Can you imagine that, a paperclip saved his life.

But then you saw your fellow workers dying right in

front of your eyes.

Must have made you feel terrible.

That was really a stupid thing to say

of course you felt terrible

what am I thinking.

What else are you gonna feel.

But then-

You pulled it together.

Right?

And you um...

and ah...

And well, here we are.

Alright, enough of this depressing conversation

I'm sure that

you and Maurice will hash out that nightmare later.

Right now I want you to come with me. C'mon.

Bob--

Come on.

[Shelby] I pride myself on recognizing potential

and as tragic as this event has been

it's opened my eyes to a real talent

that's been going to waste

right beneath my nose.

I'm glad I met ya.

Me?

Don't try to tell me you're satisfied with your

present position here.

Yeah I know, I know

You feel wasted, unchallenged

Like you've got good ideas

but no one will listen, right?

Come on - be honest with me.

It has been a long time since anybody asked me what I thought.

Yeah, well those days are over

because from now on

I wanna know what Bob Maconel is thinking

every day.

Welcome to your new think tank.

So...

Tell me, Bob

what are you thinking now?

I'm thinking how I requested a window for years

but they said they didn't have any left.

Yeah, well a few became available last week.

That's right

This is the office of one of the victims.

My personal assistant

Venessa Parks?

Venessa died?

No, no...

But she won't be coming back.

Did you know her?

Just her smile.

Yeah, she could light up a room with that.

Did you go to visit her at Saint Michaels?

No.

NO??

BOB -

You've got to go visit her!

Why?

Why?? Because you saved her life!

My God, man, the woman is probably desperate

to thank you.

She doesn't even know my name.

I'm not suggesting it, Bob

I'm telling you -

Go visit her - today.

During work hours?

Think of it as your first assignment

as Vice President

of Creative Thinking.

You're going to pay me to think?

It's a crazy world.

Oh oh oh oh, Bob-

When you, when you go see Venessa

I want you to take this with you

and give it to her, personally.

It's just some final work papers.

Oh wait, Bob!

Why don't you take your Company Car.

[DING]

Christ almighty!

It's Maconel!

You sly dog

playing possum all these years.

Certainly had me fooled.

You know I heard you were back

but I didn't see you in the pit.

I'm upstairs now.

Rightfully so.

Now the big question...

How many rounds did you pump

into that sick ass Coleman, huh?

C'mon, Bob, how many?

Two... three...

Five.

Five!!

(laughing)

Pay up sucker.

Hey, last time I doubt this man's drive.

Ohhh Bob

You should join our foresome

we could use somebody with your killer instinct

on the back 9.

Oh man, Cooper's guys would shit

if we brought him out.

[DING]

Hey ahhh-

Happy hour. This evening.

Barney's.

It's right across the street.

Lose the briefcase, Bob

you're an executive now.

[Car chirp]

[Car chirp]

[Car chirp]

I'd like to visit Venessa Parks.

That poor girl. Your name?

Bob Maconel.

Bob Maconel?

THE Bob Maconel??

I guess.

Honey, you gotta learn to speak up!

My husband thinks you should run for mayor.

Hey Thelma - Thelma! Answer my phones.

Gotta take Bob Maconel here to visit Venessa.

We were so proud of you-

It's wonderful what-

it's this way.

It's wonderful what you did

in fact we have your picture

hanging in the cafeteria-

and of course everybody wants you to sign it-

How is she?

You haven't heard?

Only that she isn't coming back to work.

That bullet was right in her spine.

After the swelling went down when they removed it

the nerves never got back together.

What are you say, she's...

Paralized.

How much, her her legs....

Venessa?

There's a visitor here to see you.

Nooo no...

Honey, it's Bob Maconel.

The Hula man.

Be right outside.

So... you're the man that saved me.

I guess so.

I've been wanting so much to meet you.

Can you come here?

Closer.

Closer.

(whisper) Closer.

You sonnva bitch-

I was a goddess, now look at me!

I can't move!

I can't dance!

I certainly can't FUCK, now can I?

[Nurse] Bob!

You should have let Coleman finish the job!

You should have LET ME DIE!

Fuck you...

I should've died...

You should have let him kill me..

FUCK!

I HATE YOU!!!!!

Maconel!

[rappinng on window]

Just in time, we're going to Barney's.

C'mon, put it in park and shake a leg.

It's happy hour.

I don't wanna be happy.

Nonsense, everbody wants to be happy.

I have to punch my time card.

Are you nuts?!

Executives don't have timecards.

Ok, but I don't drink.

Ah great - that saves more for the rest of us!

Right.

[LOUD SPORTS CROWD]

Doesn't drink, my ass.

1- 2- 3- 4- 5!

No 6...

[CROWD CHEERS]

Yeah, I got money on this!

Bob

I gotta admit

that day

I about shit my pants

when I saw Coleman raise that gun at me.

Cliche as it sounds my whole life flashed before my eyes

and I can't say I'm proud of much of it.

But you... god.

YOU

standing there, cool as ice.

Staring that guy down, one on one.

Amazing

Fuckin' amazing.

Yeah but there's

there's one question that's been stuck in my brain.

If you had a gun

Why did you wait til the shooting stopped to use it?

[BIG CHEER]

Hey, forget it, the important thing is

I didn't get my ass blown off that day

and I know I probably have you to thank for that.

Ah - another round here.

Ah... no 6.

Awww, shit, there he is.

The Mindfucker.

(laughs)

I think I need to go home.

Whoaaa

Oh hey --

You OK?

Man, he's fucked up.

Somebody ought to drive him home.

Yeah well, I'm the other direction.

I'll take him home.

[Radio music]

[Paula] I hope you didn't take

what I said last time too seriously.

I mean, a girl's gotta protect herself

from being stuck with a loser.

You know,

guy with no future

no balls.

That's not you, Bob, I mean

everyone knows you gotta great future.

And as for the balls...

you certainly proved

that you gotta great big set of those.

I'd be more than honered

if you'd like to take another look down my blouse.

Ahhhh!!!

[Car brakes]

Fuck!

Fuck - fuck - fuck

HEY!

NICE TITS!

[HORN]

Fuck you, asshole!

FUCK!

Sorry.

(Music fades to quiet)

Hello.

Hey. Shithead??

Get up!

Wake up!

Christ almighty

the master lives.

Now could you feed us before we all die?

Ya better hurry!

Stripes is rolling for the third time!

You happen to see the lady that brought me here?

Don't work that way, Bob.

You don't see it -

We don't see it.

Nice tits though.

Bob

There he is.

My best drinkin' buddy.

So ah, Bob...

Was it hot?

Was she everything she thinks she is?

I honestly can't say.

OK, a gentleman (laughs)

We're gonna hafta work on that.

Have you seen her?

No, not yet but ah...

I did see Mr Shelby - he's lookin' for you.

Some important assignment you were supposed to take care of?

Venessa.

I gotta go.

Hey Bob

Bob??

[Screeches in]

I need to see Venessa Parks.

That poor girl - you a relative?

No.

Well only relatives allowed in during non-visiting hours.

I'm...

Bob Maconel.

I don't believe you're -

I know I upset her before-

I've been trying to get a hold of you!

What?

Venessa, she wanted to see you again.

Hi.

Can you close the door please?

Certainly was fast.

Acyually I was coming to see you

I was supposed to give this to you yesterday.

It's from Mr Shelby.

I'm sure he would've delivered it himself, but...

He's been real busy with everything that's happened.

I'm sure.

I could open it and read it to you.

No

Where would you like me to put it?

How 'bout straight up his ass.

Ok...

Uh.. I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to snap at you.

It's OK.

No it's not.

I wanna apologize for the way I treated you before.

It was completely unfair to blame you for my...

for my condition.

You risked your life to save me.

You had no idea I'd end up like this.

Maybe you would've acted differently

if you knew I'd never be able to use another body part again.

That I'd have to rely on people for the rest of my life to

feed me and clothe me...

diaper me.

You think you would have?

Would have what?

Acted differently.

Yes.

I knew it - I knew you were a compassionate man.

That's why you're the only one I can ask this favor of.

I want you to finish what Coleman started.

(sad piano music)

Bob

I don't wanna live like this.

I can't live like this.

My spirit will die a million times everyday.

If you have any feelings for me at all

you'll help me through it.

Please

I can't do this anymore.

You're aking me to end your life.

It's already over.

I get released to homecare on wednesday at 5.

If I don't see you then, then I'll understand.

(Music swells)

[Door knocks]

There you are.

Mr Shelby-

Sit sit sit.

So, did you complete the assignment?

I delivered it to her personally.

Excellent!

Did she say anything when you told her it was from me?

No.

Did she open it?

Venessa's a quadriplegic

she's completely paralized.

I know I know...I'm sorry. I ya...

just having so much trouble accepting this.

I had no idea that losing her would affect the company

the way it has.

She did more than just brighten this place up

she did the little things that nobody else will.

I feel a little bit lost without her.

Well if you need any help filling in the gaps

I could try.

You wouldn't mind?

Might help with my thinking.

Alright then

I guess you can take this over.

It's my wife's latest attempt to get published.

I'll need 50 copies of that by tomorrow to send out-

Oh oh - and um...

When you finish with that,

could you pick up these suits at Armine's?

They um...

close at 3.

Bob - Bob!

When you comin' to see me?

I have to get these copied.

Ahhh... can I help you?

I got it.

Hey, have you ever used this machine?

A copier is a copier.

Ah ha --

Look, I know you're the

Big Hero around here

having shot the bad guy and all, but

operating the 3-49 isn't as easy

pointing and pulling a trigger

you know what I'm saying, Bob?

These have to be perfect.

They're for Mr Shelby himself.

I'll be gentle.

I hear you've been looking for me.

Paula.

Quite a night, wasn't it, huh?

What heppened?

You don't remember?

Well...

I ya...

know now why you're such a quiet man.

Why?

Because you don't have much to talk about

down there.

(chuckling)

Don't worry, baby.

It'll be our little secret.

(cackling)

(laughing)

It was supposed to be you.

(laughing stops)

Venessa Parks is paralized

because she looks like you.

What?

Coleman made a mistake.

Ok...

You just dissed Paula Mesler

You really are a badass.

She doesn't know how lucky she is.

[NEWS] The FBI is now saying sabotage

was the cause of that airliner losing its wheel

which resulted in 12 deaths.

[Fish] Finish what Coleman started...

[NEWS] The FBI are also still piecing together the

motive for Ralph Coleman's murderous rampage at ADD

but have so far made little progress.

[Fish] Finish what Coleman started.

They also refused to link Coleman's actions to the

recent discovery that his wife

and daughter had died in an auto accident 5 years ago,

saying it was just too long ago to matter.

[Fish] Listen to them.

Don't those fucking assholes

know the world is a

shitty place?

Just ask Venessa.

SHUT UP!

That pooor girl...

You ready to leave?

Uh huh.

Ah ha -

How appropriate, my old company car.

Yours?

What else did Shelby give you of mine?

Your office.

I think your job.

Well whatever you do, don't sleep with him.

I won't.

You alright?

Yep.

There's one around my chest here, there's a

clip in the back.

Ok.

You gonna be alright,

if I do this?

Don't worry, I won't feel anything if you touch me.

Well maybe, maybe not everything.

(chuckling)

Ok...

there ya go.

Now what?

Just get me out of here.

I've been giving this a lot of thought.

I think I figured out a way for you to do this

without getting any blood on your hands.

Last thing I want is for you to get in any trouble over this.

Legally or spiritually.

And I'm not taking any bullshit pills either.

I'm going out the same way I came in.

Dramatically.

There's a staion on the Redline

one where the South Express doesn't stop.

The concrete in the waiting area is sloped.

Not very much but it's smooth all the way down, so

just position me at the top

and when we feel the train coming just let me go

and gavity will take over.

What station?

Franklin street.

The one by the Cown Superstore?

Yeah.

Is it a busy station?

Yeah, but it clears out about midnight or so.

You hungry? You wanna get something to eat?

Are you asking me to dinner, Bob?

I guess.

(chuckles)

There's ah...

Sizzler up here a little ways.

Sizzler?

Look Bob, if this is going to be my last meal

I'd like it to be something special.

I don't get out much.

Sizzler's all I know.

Then this will be a treat for the both of us.

Right this way.

We have a lovely table for you hidden away in the back.

[Chair smack]

Oh-

Six months I've been trying to get a table here

you've always been too crowded.

Well tonight must be your lucky night.

Oh yeah, it's amazing what a bullet to the spine will do

for your luck, I should go out and get some Quick Picks!

Sure you'll have a wonderful time here at the restaurant.

Here you are, your waiter will tell you about the Specials.

God I hate snobs.

Then why eat here?

Because it's supposed to be the best in the city

and I don't want you to forget this night.

I don't think that'll be a problem.

You're not gonna chicken out on me, are you Bob?

No.

Because this'll be a wasted meal if you don't go through with it.

It's not a wasted meal.

Then stop looking so goddamn sad.

Sir?

Madam?

Would you like to ah - hear the Specials?

Ah, no need, we'll take the 2 most expensives dishes

on the menu.

Excellent choice.

I'd imagine you'd like a bottle of Opus 1 to wash it down?

You read my mind.

Bring it right over.

Don't worry, if you really have my job

you can afford it.

Aren't you going to miss anything,

your friends, your family?

Bob, how many flowers were in my room?

I don't remember.

None.

And how many people came to wish me well?

I don't know.

None.

And who came to see me the day

the day that I got to go home?

Just me?

Just you.

You're such a beautiful woman, so full of life - your smile-

yeah, could light up a room, I know

it's my first line of offense.

I don't understand.

I'm 26 years old, Bob.

26?

Yeah, and I was a heartbeat away from being senior VP

at a Fortune 500 Company

in just one year on the job.

Well you're an incredibly educated woman-

NO, no, no I'm not.

My entire extended school

was 2 years

at Valley Jr College.

I have a brain, Bob, but

the only reason I got to where I am so fast is

'cause one - I was a complete knockout,

and 2 - I gave the best goddamn blowjobs

in the entire state.

Your wine.

Great.

Yeah, and it...

didn't hurt that I had that whole woman-child thing going on.

Men either wanted to protect me

or fuck me, so...

That helped me get up the ladder

and I did a hell of a lot of climbing, Bob.

More then my share.

Great.

Look, the point is

you don't make any friends

stepping all over them on the way up.

Look, enough of the Doom and Gloom

let's see what a 300 dollar bottle of wine tastes like.

Me first.

Here, can you...

can you take this off?

[restaurant noises]

Ah...

Ok?

Yeah.

Don't worry.

Awww...

Ah, that's so much better.

(piano music)

Now that I'll miss.

Bon appetit

(melancholy music)

[Bob]You have any brother and sisters? [Venessa] Um...

[Venessa] What was your most embarrassing moment...

[Bob] I do like apple juice a lot...

[Venessa]One time at the office I was talking shit about Paula...

she was right behind me. -Ohhh...Paula.

(both laughing)

[Venessa] Are goldfish like cats?

[Bob] Pretty much, yeah, you don't want to overfeed them...

[Venessa] Everyone is due for a good hangover...

[Bob] Easier to ask what hasn't been my most

embarrassing moment...

No

you go ahead, I'm stuffed.

How can you tell, you can't feel anything below your neck-

I know my limit.

Besides they're closing this place out I think.

It's only 10 o'clock.

Guess we're going to have to find something else

we've never done before.

What haven't you done before?

("Midnight Train to Georgia" by Gladys Night and the Pips)

You hear me?

No.

Yes you are.

No

Oh!

Shit!

Mylinated axons below the wound

were not as contused

as the original MRI indicated

so we rescanned using NMR

micro imaging

That revealed an overabundance

of progenitor cells

which apparently caused

greil to secreted

around the C 7 thoraxic synapsis.

What does that all mean?

Means there's hope.

There's definite hope.

WHERE'D YOU LEARN HOW TO DRIVE??

HUH??

Yeah!

(Bob cheers)

Look at that!

It went off into the sky!

(General discussions)

Bob-

A big problem is lack of

commuication between departments

but I noticed there's one place people don't have trouble

expressing themselves and

that's by the watercooler so I

thought we put a little miniature watercooler by

every phone in every office it

will promote communication between departments.

That's good thinking, Bob.

Guess we overdid it today.

It was a great day.

But it could be perfect.

It's not already?

Just needs that final

touch.

(laughs)

That finger is definitely getting stronger.

Take me to the couch.

I wanna satisfy you. Bob.

You have. You are.

Not intellectually- I mean

Intimately.

Sexually.

All you have to do is reposition me

put my head over the couch

and I'll do the rest.

Venessa!

What? You're my boyfriend, right?

C'mon, you've done so much for me, please

just let me do this for you.

No. No, I don't think we should.

I don't see you that way.

Well, that's just it, I want you to.

I want you to find me attractive.

I do! You're beautiful.

Not enough to be intimate with?

Venessa...

from the first moment I saw you, I...

wanted to be close to you in

every way possible.

I ah..

fantasized

about you

being... naked.

Can I at least fulfill that fantasy then?

Please?

(Soft guitar music)

There's a clasp.

Touch them.

You won't feel anything.

I will if you do.

What?

Take me with you.

Venessa, it's monday.

I have to go to work.

I know, I wanna go with you.

Why?

'Cause it's time.

To see where it happened.

What about all those people

seeing what happened to you.

Ones you said you stepped on.

Sure you're strong enough to handle all that?

I will be if you're with me.

[BUS HORN PASSING]

Wait wait wait

Is the lipstick overdone?

No, the nurse did a good job.

That hair is in the way.

Let's not do this. Not today.

No no no no

When are you gonna learn to put your emotions away

and just do it?

STOP-Dammit, don't do that!

Don't be weak.

Come here!

Look at me.

Show some courage, Bob.

I need that.

You're all I got in there.

(Suspense bass beat)

Venessa...

a real shame what happened.

But ah, you look ravishing as always.

Such a tragidy

If there's anything I can do, really.

You OK?

Keep moving.

[Venessa] Smells different.

[Bob] They started to pump in air freshener.

How come?

Supposed to make you happy.

It stinks.

Wait, stop.

I was filling my water bottle.

Where were you?

I was over by the hula girl.

Take me to where I fell.

I heard the shots but I didn't see where they came from.

Where was Coleman standing?

He was right there.

Show me.

I wanna see.

[GUNSHOT]

[GUNSHOT]

What's wrong?

I wish I had seen his eyes.

If you had, he wouldn't have fired.

How do you know?

I know.

[Shelby] Venessa?

They told me you were here.

I couldn't believe it.

I wanted to see where it happened.

I understand.

I am so so so sorry about what happened.

Yeah, so am I.

Bob.

Bob, let's go, we're done here.

You can move?

I though you were permantly paralized.

Yeah, so did I. I guess

we were both wrong.

Bob.

It was so good to see you.

Freak show's over!

Everyone back to work.

[Venessa] That's Hawaii, definitely.

Or maybe it's Japan.

Both would be great.

You're awlfully quiet tonight.

If you hand't been shot, would you ever have thought

of being with me like this?

That's kind of a cruel question.

You wouldn't, I know.

I didn't even know you.

Who would you be with then?

What does it matter, we're in a different world.

Mr Shelby?

Did you love him?

He was married, Bob.

So?

So I told who I was before,

and why I did what I did.

Love was the last thing on my mind

anyway, why are we talking about this right now,

what happened, happened,

and in this world I'm with you

you're the one I wanna be with

and nothing's going to change that unless

you want it to change.

I don't want anything to change.

Then it won't.

(Darkening music)

[Thunder]

Bob...

You should have told me you like your women submissive.

I would've accommodated.

Your day will come.

(Slow bass beat)

Hey, Bob.

What are you doing here?

We need to talk.

Don't you ever stop,

I have nothing to say, I'm fine.

WELL I'M NOT!

OK, I'm failing here, Bob

and I need your help.

You see, I wasn't good enough to do my job

And now I think something really wrong is gonna happen

and it's gonna be my fault.

What could go wrong.

Let me show you something.

C'mon, Bob.

You gotta see this.

I haven't shown this to anybody.

Sit down.

Where did you find this?

On the copy machine.

You see the good thing is

it's in the form of a question.

That means whoever wrote it

hasn't made up their mind what they're gonna do yet.

Maybe they already have and

they're not gonna do anything.

But can we take that chance?

You know,

the person that wrote this note

is reaching out.

He may not even know it.

But it would be a real tragedy

if you and I didn't try to save him.

How can I save him?

Help me bring him out into the open.

Otherwise I gotta go down to Mr Shelby

initiate a company wide handwriting analysis and

my friend, that's just a bitch

It's just a bitch.

Oh shit.

Why didn't you just tell him you wrote the note?

Tell I was trying to decide whether or not to

help kill you?

Yeah, but you didn't, Bob and that's the point and

he'll understand that coming from you.

No he won't.

Great.

He's convinced the man who wrote that is a potential killer.

But you're not a killer, Bob

you risked your life to save all those people

No I didn't.

Stop being so modest!

Awww-

[cans hit floor]

I didn't shoot Coleman

to save those people, I shot him to save you.

Because all the rest were dead, right?

Right??

Of course.

That one's fine.

This one?

That one. Yeah.

Don't panic.

I just hafta find the next Coleman

and this whole mes will be behind us.

[BOB] I can do this...

I know they're out there.

Just one name and I'm free.

One name.

[BEEP]

[Shelby] Bob, you there?

(Clears throat)

Ah...

I need you to go out and buy a gift.

I wanna get something

something really special but I don't know what's appropriate

for someone in Venessa's condition.

I figured...

you would know what she likes these days

because I certainly don't know.

I cannot get over seeing her come in like that.

What a brave woman.

Here.

Take the afternoon if you need it.

Here here...

What, do you think it's not enough?

I don't think it's right.

Why not?

You shouldn't be buying presents for another woman.

Venessa is not another woman.

She happens to be a valued and appreciated member

of the ADD team.

Is that what you tell Mrs Shelby?

Are you questioning my fidelity?

Because if are, you're WAY OUTTA LINE, PAL!

I don't wanna see her hurt again.

And what are you?! Her protector??

I CARE about her!

Oh jesus, you're in love with her.

(laughs)

I can't believe it.

She's done it to you too.

Bob

That woman will do anything to get a man to

give her what she needs.

She's changed.

Yes.

She's disabled.

She doesn't want anything from me.

Bob, you're the spoon.

Because that's what she needs right now.

But let me ask you something

what happens if she starts to wiggle more then her finger?

What if she starts to move her entire hand?

Or her arm?

What happens if she can feed herself,

move herself,

take care of herself?

Do you really think that a woman like that

is gonna choose a man like you?

I mean, honestly now.

I

am not

a spoon.

(Dark mood music)

[DING]

There he is.

Man of the people.

So this thing between you and little

miss bottle rocket serious?

Don't call her that.

I'm just saying, Bob, you're at your peak right now

great money, great car great friends

some men wait a whole lifetime for that,

why would you wanna waste it on a Gimp?

(Bob yells)

YOU

ARE A VERY

CRUEL MAN

Bob let him go--

Forget golf on Sunday you fucking freak!

(suspense music)

(suspense music)

(music peaks)

Don't touch her!

She was mine.

Well you threw her away.

No I didn't, she was broken

she was in pieces.

She's all better now.

She's mine.

Say bye bye-

What's this?

He's the guy you're looking for.

He's the one with the problem.

Henry from maintenance.

That's your man.

Bob

I think you misunderstood what I was asking of you.

No I didn't, you wanted me to find the next Coleman

that's what I did.

How'd you actually do this?

I have the sense, remember?

The sense.

You know how I knew something was going to happen here

How I knew to bring my gun in

the day Coleman went off.

Right.

And you're right, this man is very dangerous

You need to do something, you need to get him some help

and you need to get him outta here.

Just like you said. - Bob -

He's not the one.

You didn't see him, he's

THIS TALL!

You're the one, Bob.

You're the one that needs help.

I'm the hero.

I shot the bad guy.

I know.

That's why I wanted you to come to me on your own.

That's why you're up here on the top floor!

You're wrong.

Think about it.

Vice President of Creative Thinking?

You really believe that someone like you

would have a job like that?

Someone like me?

Just admit you're the one, Bob

and you'll be halfway home.

No.

I'm NOT the one.

I'M NOT THE ONE!

I'M NOT THE ONE!

I'M NOT THE ONE!

I'm not the one.

(Raging electric guitar)

No no no --

NO!

I didn't do it -

I didn't do it -

I didn't do it -

NO

I saved them!

(Music calms)

[AIRLINER PASSING]

Mr Shelby?

Hello Bob

What's going on - why is he here?

Well, I just-

I DIDN'T ASK YOU!

I think you better go.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

I ah...

I'll see you tomorrow, Bob.

Right?

I didn't know he was coming over

the nurse let him in before I could stop her-

He's never come over here before why here, why now?

He wanted to talk.

About what - about your

miraculous recovery

or how he wants to ask you back into his life.

Don't do this.

Don't do what?

Don't turn this into something it's not.

DON'T TELL ME HOW TO FEEL!

He came over here because he was worried about you.

Said that you two had words earlier and

that you left very upset.

Did he tell why I was upset?

How he wanted me to buy you a present from him

I bet he didn't tell you a thing about that- did he?

Yeah he did, he also told me you harrassed Paula

and you choked Harper in the elevator.

That's because they disrespected you!

My god, Maurice is so wrong

I'm not the one who has the problem

I don't NEED ANY HELP!

Do I?

Bob-everybody needs help sometimes

There's nothing wrong with that!

Look at me, without you I'd either be hopeless or dead.

That's because you need me right now.

What happens if you start to get better

If you can feed yourself- clothe yourself

take better care of yourself

what are gonna do with me then

Bob - stop it-

What are going to do with me then!

You gonna throw me away, right?

NO I'M NOT

YES YOU ARE

STOP IT!

YES YOU ARE!

Sit - come here!

Sit down.

NO!

COME HERE!

I'M NOT COMING OVER THERE!

Bob...

.. sit down..

Come here and sit down...

Now.

Jesus...

Listen to me

I didn't just find you in this tragedy.

I found myself.

And I can tell you with all honesty

that it doesn't matter if I never walk again or

I can fucking fly.

It's your heart...

and your soul that I desperately need

and I'll always need.

So you have a problem, so what!

I'm gonna help you get through it.

You just need the courage to do the right thing.

What is the right thing?

Do what's in your heart.

And you need the courage to face that.

It's easier to find when I'm with you.

Then if you feel it slipping away..,

just look into my eyes

and it'll be right there.

Do you...

love me?

Bob...

That's such a foreign word to me, you know that.

It doesn't mean that I won't

I have to be sure.

[AIRLINER GOING AWAY]

Doesn't matter.

Yes it matters.

It DOES MATTER, BOB-

Please-

DON'T GO!

Stay with me tonight.

Please.

Why?

Because I'm afraid if you leave feeling this way...

you won't find your way back.

What?

What?

[BOB] So she couldn't say it.

So what?

It'll come.

It'll happen.

I just have to be patient.

Because in the end

it's all about timing.

(gasping)

The bitch lied.

(RAGES)

(Heavy beat music)

Excuse me.

Shelby.

He's not up here, he's downstairs.

[faint whistling]

Maconel?

Maconel?

Dammit, I told that drone not to leave.

Hey Jackson, you see where Maconel went?

[RUMBLE]

(scream)

HE'S GOTTA GUN!

(panicking crowd)

[SIREN]

[MAURICE] You're the one, Bob.

You're the one that needs help.

(suspense music building)

[BOB] You may ask why I did what I did.

But what choice did you give me.

[RUMBLE]

How else could I get your attention.

All I wanted is to exist in the world.

Just one person...

to take the time to actually see me

and help me...

find...

a way out.

[hearbeat slowing]

(Hopeful music)

(music swells angelic)

[GUNSHOTS]

(synth build music)

(soft music dies)

[Shelby] Oh my god...

Oh my God-

[Harper] What the hell is going on?

[Shelby] Put the gun down.

PUT IT DOWN!

Put that gun away! Put it away, man!

[Coleman] He had a gun.

Did anyone call 9-1-1??

[Coleman] He was gonna shoot you.

I saved your lives.

I can be the hero.

Or I can be the killer.

But I can't be ignored.
