(((Alarm clock on cell phone sounds)))

(((Alarm clock on cell phone sounds)))

(((Alarm clock on cell phone sounds)))

Will: Shut the fuck up…..

Presses snooze

(((Alarm clock on cell phone sounds)))

Will awakes in room, looking to his left with a woman tucked under his right arm

Will: What is this Quantum Fucking Leap?

There are sides to every story… Not two, sometimes three or four… This one had multiple sides. Will chose the wrong side again. When realizing he was on the side of evil he tried to make good if it… He could not have made it worse. Instead of avenging a death, he created more death and more despair. He took a father from his family and failed to find justice for a mother and father who live with the death of a loved one… He did not only meet his demise, his actions sent a young girl and a loving father to their demise

Will: I get this feeling I am never leaving this dream

Kris: Are you awake?

Will: Yeah…. Babe…. Why what's up?

Kris: I need coffee

Will: Sure baby doll, I'll run out and get some Dunkin'

Kris: Hurry back, baby

Will: Will do love

Will leaves room grabs keys to sports car parked outside house

Will thinking everything feel's right and this is just where he thinks he should be

Pulls up to a Dunkin' Donuts and goes inside

Attendant: Can I help you?

Will: Sure, Can I get an extra large French Vanilla with some cream and extra sugar, as well as a medium Caramel iced latte?

Attendant: Sure.

Will waiting as coffee is made

Bewildered looking guy walks up looking all shitfaced and out of it

Bewildered man: Can I get some coffee, just a black fucking cup of coffee?

Manager: Sure sir, what size?

Bewildered man: Large sand nigger

Manager: Sir, please there is no need for this language here…

Bewildered man: Make my fucking coffee brown stain

Manager goes to make coffee, as will waits for his order, attendant approaches

Attendant: $6:45

Will pays graciously

Will: Thanks so much

Will leaves with coffee as he approaches car and put drinks down on front seat looks into the store to see the bewildered man jumping over the counter at the manager.

Will thinking this is not my place; I should call the cops or go…. (Will never one to call the police in any situation, run into the D & D's)

Will: What the fuck?

Will dive over the counter and grabs the bewildered guy by the head…

Will: Calm the fuck down! What's wrong with you?

Bewildered guy: How does this sand dweller have a job and I am broke as fuck?!?

Will: Dude, who cares, the cops are going to be here in two minutes and then where the fuck are you?

Bewildered guy: Cops? What the fuck do I care? I am a Lieutenant, a veteran; they can suck my fucking balls!

Will: Sir, just let the guy go… He has never done a thing to you….

Bewildered man: How would you know? I feel like I just shot him and his brother 3 weeks ago… They all look the same

Will: Sir, I am quite sure this guy did not get here in three weeks and acquire a managerial job at Dunkin' Donuts….

Bewildered man: Well, you're as dumb as you look…

Bewildered guys pulls out pistol and points it at the managers head

Will: Don't man, come on… What's the fucking point?

Bewildered man: BLACK FUCKING COFFEE! That's the only point!

Will: Go to a fucking deli you crazy white trash retard!

Bewildered man: What?

Will: You heard me… You fucking piece of shit, you're a coward and a disgrace to your race and country

Bewildered man drops the manager and point gun and all his attention towards Will

Bewildered man: The fuck you just say to me?

Will: If you would kill this man in cold blood, you are a coward

Bewildered man: No the other part…

Will: What?

Bewildered man: Did you call me white trash?

Will: Uh, yeah…. But, I was just trying to get your attention man…. There is no need for this shit

Bewildered man: You know what; you're the one I should hate… The white man with all the answers, all the judgments, and all the ridicules….

Will: Sir, maybe, but I am just a guy buying coffee for my girl

Bewildered man: Oh a girl, I had one…. 3 years ago… Guess where she is?

Will: I have no….

Bewildered man: (Cutting Will off) Shut the fuck up! You know where… Not with me, that for fuck sure… I think you and I were meant to meet today, because instead of getting the death penalty for a hate crime…. I get to kill a white motherfucker, who is ten times worse than any sand nigger I could ever murder…

Will: Sir, I am just trying to help here…

Bewildered man: Oh, you did… You saved this brownie his life, and you helped me get my anger issues clear…. You also shaved 20 years off my sentence…

Will: What?

Bewildered man fires at will towards Will, striking him time and time again in the chest, arm, and stomach

Cops already outside waiting, fire shot into the glass… Bewildered man lays down his gun and slams his head against the plate glass window and knocks himself out

Will: Fuck…. Fuck… I can feel this…. This is real… This is it…

Paramedic: Let's go, let's go

Paramedics put Will in ambulance

Paramedic: Stay with me man, stay with me….

Will: (Faintly) I'm trying man…….. I really want to see how this play out…

Paramedic: What?

Will laughing and crying simultaneously

Ambulance arrives at hospital where Kris and Will's family watch as he is brought into the ER

Will: Hey Kris….. Mom...

Kris: Is he going to be ok?

No answer from doctors or paramedics

Finally paramedic comes out from ER

Kris: Is he ok?

Paramedic: Ma'am I do not know how he made it here alive…

Kris crying with Will's mom and family

Doctor: He is asking to see Kris…?

Kris: Yes, that's me… How is he?

Doctor: To be blunt, he is hanging on, and asked for his last rites…. But, he wanted to see you first.

Kris enters hospital room to Will lying under bloody sheets

Kris: Will, I'm here…

Will: Oh perfect… I was waiting……………

Kris: For what?

Will: Well, I am done… I just wanted to give you this…

Will hands Kris two dollars

Will: It's for the coffee I never brought you… I suck… I never get shit right….

Flat lines……………………………………….

Kris: Will, Will!

Kris sobbing uncontrollably

(((Why don't you ask the kids at tiananmen Square)))

(((Why don't you ask the kids at tiananmen Square)))

(((Why don't you ask the kids at tiananmen Square)))

Will: Now it's System…. Wonderful, what next?

We made a choice not once, not twice, Not even three times made it feel wrong. They felt right in our hearts, but failed to keep those hearts beating. We keep trying to save lives, avenge a lost life, or make our insignificant lives seem more meaningful… Yet, when all is said and done, we find ourselves right back where we started. Lonely, afraid, ready to make a move, or a moral choice that can change are lives forever. But, until now, it continues to seem we're just trying to be heroes, just wearing a disguise, which leads us to our demise.

Chapter 3

Will: That was fucked up… I need cigarettes…

Will walks outside to where his car should be…

(Scenery palms trees and sandy beaches)

Will: What the fuck?

Will getting a bit use to the ridiculousness of his situation

Will: Hey sir (To a passerby) Where is the nearest 7-11?

Random guy: A mile up the road is a Hess Mart

Will: Great, thanks

Thinking I am dying for a cigarette

Will heads back into the house that eerily seems like the house he has lived in for the last 3 years and find keys to a Bentley

Will: OK, I'll go with these….

Hits the garage and jumps in the Bentley on the way to the Hess Mart a mile up the road

Will: Well, this seems about wrong

Car pulls up next to Will

Eddie: Where you headed, son?

Will: Yo Ed, what the fuck? The Hess mart…..?

Eddie: Aiight, see you up there…

Will and Ed pull into the Hess Mart

Eddie: Who we got lined up tonight?

Weill: On what?

Eddie: This 8 B we need to drop

Will: Dude, let me get my bearings… I just got up and if this is Florida, I am actually in another world… So I need a minute, an hour, or a lifetime…. So, just chill

Eddie: No doubt, I feel you… …. YO, lookout nigga…

Gunshots ring through the windows of the Hess mart

Will: What the fuck was that?

Eddie: Yo, that was Hector and those assholes… They think your infiltrating…

Will: On what?

Eddie: Will, they have been selling here 3 years before we got here…

Will: Alright, I get it… Dude, I am done with selling…. I am officially retired. Go to Hector and tell him he's got it.

Eddie: What?

Will: On the real, I have no reason for this shit anymore… I do not need to be shot at…

Eddie: Oh shit, what's up over there?

Will and Eddie approach a bleeding girl with two people surrounding her

Will: What happened?

Random guy: She got hit with a bullet!

Will: Call an ambulance!!

Station attendant: Just called, they are on the way

Will, random guy, Eddie etc… wait for ambulance holding napkins over girls wound to shoulder

Ambulance pulls up

Will: This girl has been shot... She needs a hospital

Ambulance driver: OK, let get her in….

Will jumps in ambulance with girl, who happens to be Hispanic

Ambulance driver: Are you related to this woman?

Will: No, I just watched her get shot…

Ambulance driver: You should leave, sir…

Will: No, is she going to be ok?

Ambulance driver performing CPR

Ambulance driver: I am not sure, but if you are not next of kin you should not be here

Will: What do you mean? Is she going to die? Please don't tell me this….

Heart monitor goes flat line……

Will: Is she dead, bro?

Ambulance driver: Calling it, 12:05 PM

Will: No fucking way… Why did you stop to ask me these fucking questions? She could have been at the hospital already

Ambulance driver: She would not have made anyway, sir…

Will jumps out ambulance and starts talking to random guy

Will: Do you know this girl?

Random guy: Yes, she live only a mile from here

Will: How old was she?

Random guy: Was?

Will: Yes, she died… Where do her mom and dad live?

Random guy: Up a mile…..

Will: Fuck me… This cannot be happening…

Eddie: YO Will, we need to bounce bro

Will: Fuck that… Where the fuck does Hector chill?

Eddie: Near Pine Oaks…

Will: That's where we are going… Do you have any weapons at all?

Eddie: Fully strapped, son

Will: Dude, please don't ever say "Fully Strapped" again… I almost threw up… So you have a gun right?

Eddie: Yeah

Will: OK, let's go to Oaks Pine place

Eddie: Pine oaks…

Will: Whatever dick, let's go!

Will: Give me that shit

Eddie: Glock or…

Will: Glock

Will and Eddie head up to Hector's place at Pine oaks where a bunch of people are hanging out drinking beers and laughing

Will jumps out the car

Will: Where the fuck is Hector?

Three guys stand up

Will: If there are three Hectors here I am popping each one of them

Three guys jet in two directions, Will follows the lone direction

Will: Slow down motherfucker, you just killed a kid, you're deserving of what is coming

Will chases firing shot after shot and finally clipping his target in the arm

Will: Fucking tough guy right? Firing on an unsuspecting man and killing a little girl who had nothing to do with any beef you had with me..? How does this feel? Are you hurting? Will fires three shots at suspected killers face.

Eddie running up behind Will

Eddie: Dude, what the fuck?

Will: What, this is the guy, no?

Eddie: I have no idea who this is… It's not Hector…

Will: Wait, what?

Eddie: What did you do bro?

Will: Fuck this, where did the other two go?

Eddie: I have no idea, I am out bro

Will: Fuck that, someone needs to pay for this girl's death… Shit, isn't right

Police: Freeze, put the gun down

A woman and 2 children crying behind the two park police cars

Will: Sir, this guy shot and killed an unarmed little girl at a gas station a mile from here….

Woman: that's my husband! He just got back from work, please let him be…

Child: Is my Daddy OK?

Will: Wait! WAIT! What's his name? What's his fucking name?

Police: FREEZE!

Will: (Towards woman) what's his fucking name?!>?

Woman: Ignacio, Ignacio Isturis!

Will staggering and bewildered with gun in hand…... I

Will: Shit, this kills!

Can't move his legs

Will: Help! Someone help!

Footsteps….

Juan: Que tue problemo, Senor Will

Will: I cannot move my legs!

Juan: (looking bewildered) Ok, senor… Let me help you

Juan lifting Will's legs and helping him off the bed

Will: What happened? How did I get home?

Juan: Don't know what you mean, Senor…

Will: I need a hospital, please call an ambulance

Juan: No problem, no problem

Ambulance sirens ring

They pick up Will and put him in the ambulance and head to hospital

Will: I do not know why, but I cannot move my legs… I was out last night and all I remember is falling

Paramedic: OK, sir. Not to worry, we will get you to the hospital and figure it out. Try to relax

Pulling into the hospital emergency area. Doctors immediately are at full attention as Will enters the emergency doors

Doctor: Will, is everything OK… Are you feeling any pain?

Will: No, that's why I am freaking out… I just cannot feel my legs at all…

Doctor: (strange look on his face) OK, let's get him to emergency

Will is rushed to emergency as Juan and the doctor lag behind

Doctor: Has he been doing any medication we should know about?

Juan: No, just the usual Doctor

Doctor: OK, thanks Juan, please stay here we will let you know

Juan frantic on the phone calling family members

Doctor: Will, what symptoms are you feeling?

Will: I can't move my fucking legs!?

Doctor: Will, I understand. Have you taken any hallucinogenic since we have last met?

Will: What? No, I was out drinking last night….

Doctor: Out? Out where?

Will: I was at a bar with some friends from work...

Doctor: Where do you think you work, Will?

Will: What… Think I work? At Kantecti Flabris, been there for over 5 years….

Doctor: Will, I am sorry to tell you this, but you have been bed ridden for the last 3 years… You have not worked a day in your life since you had the accident

Will: What accident?

Doctor: Will, I should call your psychiatrist

Will: What do you mean?

Doctor: Will, you have been in waited on hand and foot just as your mother asked since you fractured your spine on your movie set

Will: Movie set? What the fuck are you talking about?

Doctor: Will, I am not sure how to react here… You have told me this story hundreds of times…

Will: What fucking story?

Doctor: About your first movie opportunity and how you decided you want to do your own stunts…

Will lost and dumb founded

Doctor: On your first stunt you fell and broke two of your lower vertebrae and have not been able to walk ever since

Will: You're fucking playing with me right? This is a fucking joke… I work for a manufacturing company making no more than minimum wage… You have me mistaken...

Doctor: Will, I have been your personal doctor for 3 straight years… I know your entire family and in fact you should be glad to know they are on their way

Will: What's my mother's name? Tell me now!

Doctor: Marie, Will, Marie…

Will: What the fuck is going on? I was at a bar last night… I think I fell… How can this be?

Doctor: I think you had a bad dream…

Will: This is the dream, how can a nightmare be this real?

Doctor: Your family is here; let me see if they can help you…

Marie: (Mom) Oh sweetie, what's wrong? What did you try to do now?

Will: Nothing mom, what is going on? I was just coming home from work and had a few drinks

Marie crying

Marie: (Frantic) What do you mean? We wait on your hand and foot, you do not move unless we move you! Why are you doing this to us!??

Will: Mom, I don't know what is going on, please stop this game, it's not funny… I am freaking out here...

Mitchell: Will, we are all here for you, why do you keep doing this?

Will: Doing what? I do not understand!

Gracie: Oh willy, stop this, you cannot dwell on what you do not have….

Will: Why are you all talking to me like I am hopeless?

Marie: You're not hopeless, stop saying that!

Will: Mom, that's what I just said, I just want to know why I can't move my legs and this doctor is telling me I did a stunt that paralyzed me from the waist down…. Am I fucking crazy or was I just playing baseball with Gregory last weekend…?

Marie: Why are you doing this?

Will medicated and drowsy passes out

Overhearing talk from another room

Doctor: He is obviously back into the denial stage that he will never walk again… He needs your support more than ever now

Will hearing each word, not knowing if this is reality or not

Will: (Screaming) Someone talk to me!!!

Doctor speaking in other room in Will's listening distance

Doctor: Someone has to remind him of his situation

Marie: (crying) I did it once, I cannot do it again

Gracie: I will

Gracie heads towards Will's room

Gracie: Will, you awake?

Will: Yes, what is fucking going on?

Gracie: You have not walked in three years… Can I be any blunter?

Will: Since when? What year is it? Since I fell?

Gracie: Yes

Will: So, I have been in a coma for 3 years?

Gracie: No, Will we have spoken daily over the last 3 years… You became paralyzed by trying to do a stunt in a movie you had gotten a lead part in…

Will: Grace… A movie… Who the fuck are we kidding here? What fucking movie would I be in?

Gracie: It was a base jumping movie; you went out for back in August of 2006. You did 2 movies in-between… Can't you remember?

Will: You guys are freaking me out and this joke has run its course… GET THE FUCK OUT! … GET THE FUCK OUT!

Gracie leave sadly and weeping

Will speaking to himself, "This is a dream; this is a dream, wake up, wake up"

In walks Mark…

Mark: Het brother, how you holding up?

Will: Bro, what the fuck is going on? Everyone is speaking to me like I am someone else… You know me man… What movie have I ever been in?

Mark: Will, Will, relax… You're not in the right state of mind…

Will: Mark, please tell me you are not buying all of this shit??? It's me Will, I am a loser, I smoke weed, drink a lot, work until I get my next paycheck and splurge on clothes, food, and girls…

Mark: Will, we did that, I know. But, you were successful and you will be again. Don't let the wheelchair stop you. You still have it bro

Will: Mark…. I am tired of this nightmare. Wake me up now… If you will not, no one will…

Mark: What are you talking about?

Will: Wake me up!

Mark: I don't understand!

Will: Put a pillow over my face, stick a knife in my heart, fucking pinch me for Christ's sake… WAKE ME UP!

Mark: (half crying) Will, relax… What do you want me to do?

Will: There is a bottle of morphine I have been staring at for the last 3 hours… I cannot fucking move otherwise this thing would be over by now

Mark: No, Will… NO….

Will: Mark, I am helpless… Please… You know when they say the grass is greener on the other side? It's not, I just hit the other side and the grass is as dead as my legs. Please just shoot that bottle in me…. The entire thing… Please… I cannot do this… I have no idea how I even got here… I have no memory of being an actor. I wanted to be an actor my entire life and not that I am I am paralyzed and have no memory of it…. Please do this for me…

Mark reluctant grabs a needle and bottle of morphine

Mark: I can't Will, I can't

Will: Do it. I swear it's the only favor I would ever ask…

Mark grabs the needle sticks it in the morphine bottle and pulls back

Stands there with a needle full of morphine

Mark: (Crying) I can't

Will: Please

Mark sticks the needle in Will's arm… Before pushing the plunger down Will jumps… Legs start to wiggle... The plunger is accidentally pushed down

Will: I can feel my legs, I can feel my le………………

Cigarette burning in an ash tray

Will: Shit!

Stands up and puts cigarette out…

A significant choice, may feel right. But, may interrupt what may have been the life you have always dreamed of… Choices… We can all make them, once a day, every day. But, with that choice will you meet your life-long dreams or will you simply meet your demise…
