Scene 2 - Walking Home[]
After a brief aerial shot of the outskirts of Seattle, a school bus is seen stopping and some students are stepping out. One of them is Sean Diaz, who is texting. Meanwhile, Lyla Park steps out of the school bus and talks to the other students left on the bus.
Lyla: See you tonight! Don't be late, losers!
Lyla comes behind Sean and grabs his shoulders, causing him to gasp.
Lyla: Okay, update time! You heard back from Jenn yet?
Sean: Um... no... I'm sure she'll reply at some point.
Lyla: Let me take a look at the situation.
Sean gives her his cell phone.
Lyla: (reading text) "Hey Jenn, u going to the party tonight?" (looks back at Sean) Dude, we talked about this! Could you have any less game?
An annoyed Sean takes back his phone.
Sean: I'm no good at this! How about: "Yo Jenn, see you at the party, let me know if I should bring handcuffs"?
Lyla: (chuckles) Oh my God! You thirsty bitch. Here, let "Lyla The Love Witch" work her magic... (takes Sean's phone again)
Sean: Okay, Just... Don't make me sound like a loser.
The two students begin to walk.
Lyla: I said matchmaker, not miracle worker...
Sean: Hey, hold on, let me check it before you send!
Lyla gives back his phone.
Lyla: Too late!
Sean: (reading text) "Would be awesome 2 see you there." (looks at Lyla) What? I could have texted that...
Lyla: It's a good start... She'll text back, you'll see.
Sean: You know... I don't even know if I wanna go tonight...
Lyla: Oh please. It's gonna be fun! You hate every party.
Sean: Oh because... They're all the same. Too many people, too fucking loud, everybody's wasted...
Lyla: Yes, Sean. You just described... a party!
Sean receives a notification on his phone. Lyla comes closer.
Lyla: Well? The suspense is killing me!
Sean: It's Dad. Wants to know if I'm coming home after school. (grunts) Jeez, I'm not a ten year old...
Lyla: He just cares about you, Sean... Anyway, you should be happy your dad's looking out for you.
Lyla's phone vibrates. She has received a text.
Lyla: (pulls phone out) Oh, it's Jenn. Saying she can't wait to see us at the party!
Sean: What? Really? Yes!
Lyla: Told you I would work my matchmaker magic.
Sean: Hmm... So... So what should I wear tonight?
Lyla: A condom.
Sean: Ho ha ha. Paying plenty of attention in Sex Ed class, I see...
The two pass in front of Brett Foster's house, who is seen holding his phone and sitting on the porch.
Brett: Hey, lovebirds! Back from the loony bin?
Lyla: Shut the fuck up, dickhead!
Brett gives her the middle finger.
Lyla: Damn, your neighbor's an asshole.
Sean: Yup. Always true to himself!
The two arrive in front of the Diaz house.
Scene 3 - Diaz Front Yard[]
Sean and Lyla walk across the porch. There is a skull stuck in the basketball hoop and lawn furniture scattered about.
Lyla: Man... We need to find a couch for your yard one day.
Sean and Lyla sit on the decking. Lyla takes out some cigarettes.
Sean: Oooh careful... Last time my Dad almost busted me out here...
Lyla: Because you were alone. Your Dad wouldn't bust me. He loves me. So... You want a hit or not?
Take one.
Sean: Yeah, okay. It's Friday.
Sean lights up for Lyla then himself.
Sean: Thanks for making me smoke again...
Lyla: Oh then... I'll make sure you don't smoke any weed tonight. Deal?
Sean: Deal. Can't wait to see you baked as hell trying to pull this off.
Refuse.
Sean: Nah. Maybe at the party. Track stars aren't supposed to smoke, ya know...
Lyla: Yeah, sure. I'll remember this when you're begging for a spliff tonight...
Lyla: Speaking of weed... I got that covered tonight. What else do we need? Eric said his parents don't leave shit at the cabin so... we better make an Official Party List...
Lyla grabs a pen, then reaches for Sean's left hand.
Sean: Hey whoa, what the hell are you doing?
Lyla writes on Sean's hand while listing supplies.
Lyla: Don't move! You're my human post-it note. First we need money for supplies... munchies... chips n' dip... soda... et cetera...
Sean: This better wash off!
Lyla: And of course, we must not forget... ZE BOOZE!!!
Sean: I can probably snag a six-pack from Dad if he's got enough. Hey, did you ever think of maybe... just... sending a text instead?
Sean's hand reads: Cash Food Booze
Lyla: Hmmm... Oh right! Blankets!
Lyla grabs Sean's hand again and writes some more.
Lyla: It's gonna get sooo chilly tonight! You and Jenn are gonna need something to snuggle under... Oh, one last thing! C... O... N... D... O...
Sean: Aargh stop! You're out of room, punk!
Sean's hand-list now includes Blanket and a drawing of a smiling C...
Good drawing.
Sean: Whoa. Good drawing, Lyla! Daniel's teacher would be proud of you!
Lyla: Ha! The pretentious artist has spoken! Don't fall asleep before me tonight, or you might see more of my skills.
That's a penis?
Sean: Is this how you see a penis? Damn, you should try and actually see one for real.
Lyla: You don't wanna go down that road, dude. My chances of scoring tonight are probably... ten times yours!
Sean: You wish...
Lyla: These fucking planes, man... I wanna hate them, but... I'll miss them so much if I move somewhere else. Shit changes so fast... I get so emo sometimes, wondering what'll happen to us once we graduate. Will you still be my BFF? Will shit ever get better than 1452, Lame Avenue?
Always be friends.
Sean: Yeah, man. Friends forever.
Lyla: Yeah but... What happens if we go to different colleges? Or you get sick of me? Whatever...
Sean: You heard of the internet? No way distance can tear us apart. We're freakin' fighters!
Lyla: Yeah, you're right... Best freakin' fighters forever...
No es posible.
Sean: No es posible, sister. With all that shit going on... A dirty Mexican like me hanging out with an Asian chick... Uh... I mean... That's a one way ticket to jail.
Lyla: Oh, I'm not worried. You'll be pacing your ass off behind that waaaaall way before me.
Sean: Shit, you're right. I need to get cooler than you, so my 10 thousand followers keep me out of trouble.
Lyla: I mean, no way you can... but... I love you anyway.
Lyla: OK, it's getting way late and I gotta pick out my outfit for tonight. Skype me later when you're ready. Hugs! (They hug.) Talk to you soon.
Lyla leaves.
Sean: Hello, Friday night...
Sean walks inside and we can hear Esteban and Daniel laughing.
Scene 4 - Diaz Household Reception[]
Daniel (sitting) and Esteban (standing) are at the kitchen counter as Sean walks in.
Esteban: Hey! Perfect timing! Just the son I wanted to see.
Sean: Sure. But I'm a little busy...
Daniel: Did you see Lyla? She said we could go to the movies next week. She said--
Sean: Dude. Bug her, not me! You're not exactly her type...
Esteban: You're lucky she puts up with you...
Sean: Jeez, thanks pop. I feel really supported right now.
Esteban: You're welcome. And now we need... an objective judge. That would be you!
Sean: Really?
Daniel: Hey! No fair!
Esteban: (shushing Daniel) Court is in session. Judge Diaz... presiding over the case... of the last... Chock-O-Crisp...
Esteban puts a Chock-O-Crisp on the counter.
Sean: I... I have to go... Uh... Get ready for a party and stuff. So...
Esteban: Well if you want to attend to a party and stuff... you have to earn it... your Honor.
Sean: Aww shit...
Daniel: Hey, he swore! (Daniel points at Sean)
Esteban: Yes, I heard, tattletale. (Daniel growls as Sean mocks him) Please Judge Diaz. Be an example to the court and society. Then you can go hook up or... chill or... whatever! Now... Who deserves to eat this final... Chock-O-Crisp? Your adorable little brother, who eats about ten bags a week...
Daniel raises his eyebrows and smiles.
Esteban: Or your poor suffering father... (Daniel shakes his hand as Esteban leans down in 'pain') who slaves over a hot engine to provide his family with a home and a garage?
Daniel raises his hand.
Daniel: Me! Me! Me! (Sean pulls Daniel's hand back down) Come on Judge...
Esteban: Shh. Let him decide... Judge? The verdict, please.
Señor Diaz wins!
Sean: Daniel is guilty of being a brat! So the Chock-O-Crisp goes to... Señor Diaz!
Daniel: What? No way! You're a cheat!
Sean: Nope. I'm the law.
Esteban: Your Honor, I can't let you punish an innocent man... So...
Daniel: Ooohhh yessss...
Sean: Yeah, I always knew you'd confess.
Daniel is innocent!
Sean: Daniel... is innocent and so the jury gives him the Chock-O-Crisp!
Daniel: Oh yeah! I win!
You're both guilty!
Sean: You're both guilty... (Sean grabs the bar) ...of wasting my time. Case closed!
Sean takes a bite out of the chocolate.
Daniel: What? No fair! Dad! Dad, Dad!
Sean rubs his stomach with a grin.
Esteban: What is this? My own flesh and blood tosses me under the bus!
Daniel: (crosses his arms and looks away) He sucks...
Esteban: Okay. Back to work. I hear an engine calling my name... And you better play nice together... (pointing his finger) Like you always do...
Esteban goes to the garage.
(Gave the Chock-O-Crisp to Esteban)
Daniel: I have to go work in my room too.
Daniel lightly hits Sean in the stomach. Sean tries to grab him but is too slow.
(Gave it to Daniel)
Daniel: (grinning) Hey! Hey! I have to go work in my room too.
Sean waves as Daniel runs into his room.
(Ate it himself)
Daniel: (pouting) Yeah... I have to go work in my room, too...
Sean noogies Daniel.
Sean: (teasingly) Yeah, don't hurry back.
Daniel closes himself in his room. Sean is left alone.
Sean (inner monologue): Okay! Let's get this party list started.
...
Sean has to get some food and drinks from the kitchen:
Looking through the Cabinet
Take (Chips)
Sean (inner monologue): Hope there's also, like... real food at this party.
Sean can swap chips with cookies before he packs up.
Take (Cookies)
Sean (inner monologue): You're coming with me...
Sean can swap cookies with chips before he packs up.
Take (Halloween Candy)
Sean (inner monologue): No way. Dad will kill me, if I take his precious candy.
Sean cannot obtain the candy.
If Sean switches the food:
Sean (inner monologue): Hmmm... Maybe this is better.
After taking something:
Sean (inner monologue): Cross that off the list...
(Examined the cabinet)
Sean (inner monologue): Food down, drinks to go...
(Examined the refrigerator)
Sean (inner monologue): Drinks down, food to go.
Looking through the Refrigerator
Take (Soda)
Sean (inner monologue): This will work. I... don't want to get wasted in front of Jenn...
Sean can swap soda with beer before he packs up.
Take (Beer)
Sean (inner monologue): That'll do... Bet there's gonna be a keg at the cabin...
Sean can swap beer with soda before he packs up.
If Sean switches the drink:
Sean (inner monologue): Ok. Better take that instead.
...
Interacting with the Money Jar
Sean can look at the jar. He will notice the sticker with "Drug money" written on it, alluding to when Sean was caught hiding weed in his room.
Sean (inner monologue): (sarcastically) Real funny, Dad...
Add Money ($10) (Spoke to Esteban)
Sean throws $10 into the jar.
Sean (inner monologue): I can spare a few bucks for next week's pizza night.
Sean will have $10 less for the remainder of the episode. He can also choose to take the money back.
Steal Coins ($10)
Sean takes $10 from the jar.
Sean (inner monologue): Mhhh... No harm. I'll pay this back before next week's pizza night... Promise.
Sean will have $10 more for the remainder of the episode. He can also choose to put the money back:
Sean (inner monologue): Okay, okay... Judge Diaz can't commit such a crime.
...
Practicing in the bathroom
In the bathroom, Sean has the option to practice in preparation for the party in front of the mirror.
Sean: (stroking his chin) "Hey Jenn, what's up?" Try again, loser...
Sean: (putting on a deeper voice) "Hey... You look totally hot..." (slaps his cheeks) Oh my God. Stop.
Sean raises his eyebrows multiple times, then shakes his head and groans.
Sean: "Hey, you wanna... share my blanket?"
Sean slaps his cheeks multiple times, then rubs his hands together.
Sean: "Hey Jenn... Do you wanna... hang out sometime?" Not bad... Remember... Don't be too thirsty...
Optional Conversation with Daniel[]
Sean has the option of going up to Daniel's door and trying the handle, which refuses to budge, before knocking on the door.
Sean: Dude, come on, open up!
Daniel (from the room, muffled): Why?
Sean: Because!
Daniel (from the room, muffled): Okay, okay...
Daniel partially opens the door.
Sean: What are you doing in there, Dr. Frankenstein?
(Gave Daniel the Chock-O-Crisp)
Daniel: Thanks for giving me the Chock-O-Crisp.
Sean: That's what big brothers are for... sometimes...
(Gave the Chock-O-Crisp to Esteban)
Daniel: (disapprovingly) You gave my Chock-O-Crisp to Dad.
Sean: So what? He gave it back. Dude, you are so spoiled...
(Ate the Chock-O-Crisp)
Daniel: (disapprovingly) You ate. My Chock-O-Crisp.
Sean: (rolling his eyes) Don't be pissed. You always eat the whole box!
Sean: What's with the scissors?
(Gave Daniel the Chock-O-Crisp)
Daniel: (smiling) Can't tell you! It's a big secret! So don't come in!
(Didn't give Daniel the Chock-O-Crisp)
Daniel: You'll see... But not now... So don't come in!
Okay then.
Sean: Okay, fine, don't tell me! After all, I'm only your big brother, who looks after you and takes care of you...
Daniel: (annoyed) Stop it!
Should we call 911?
Sean: Oh man! Damn, sounds pretty serious! Should I call an ambulance now, before it's too late?
Daniel: (laughing) Maybe...
Daniel: All I can say is... Watch out for my costume in three days! This Halloween is gonna be awesome! Are you going to the party tonight? At Eric's house? Will Lyla be there?
Sean: Yes, yes, yes, and NO. You can't go. Teenagers only.
Daniel: I bet Lyla would let me go. She's way nicer to me than you...
Sean rolls his eyes.
Daniel: Did she... ask about me?
Cheating on you.
Sean: (dramatically sighing) I'm sorry, dude, she's cheating on you...
Wants to marry you.
Sean: Yes, she wants to marry you.
Daniel: Shut up! And I don't even care if I can't go... because... because... I have secret stuff to do... Alone!
Daniel slams the door into Sean's smiling face.
Sean: Of course you do.
As Sean is leaving, Daniel cracks the door open and peeks outside before slamming it shut again.
Scene 5 - Diaz Garage[]
Sean (inner monologue): All right, Dad... Where do you put the blankets?
In the storage room connected to the garage, Sean finds a blanket stored on one of the top shelves.
Sean (inner monologue): I'm sure Dad won't miss one blanket for the night...
As Sean walks into the garage, Esteban is working under a car.
(Daniel got the Chock-O-Crisp)
Esteban: That you, Sean?
(Sean ate the Chock-O-Crisp)
Esteban: That you, choco thief?
Yeah.
Sean: Yeah...
Esteban: "Yeah..." (teasingly) Don't get too excited, kid. You're making me nervous.
It's me, Daniel.
Sean: (putting on a high-pitched voice) It's me, Daniel!
Esteban: Cool. Can you tell your big brother he's grounded tonight? When you see him...
(Say nothing)
Esteban: Hmmm... Am I hearing things? Somebody trying to scare me? Not Halloween yet, man.
Esteban: Hey! Since you're creeping around up there, can you pass me the wrench in the top red drawer over there?
Sean: Sure! Can do.
Sean checks the drawer, but there is no wrench.
Sean: Uuhh... There's no wrench here.
Esteban: Ahh, shoot! Must be somewhere else then... Take a look around. I know I left it nearby... It's a 16mm reversible flex wrench.
Sean: (to himself, sarcastically) Jeez... That was definitely my plan for tonight... So yeah... (to Esteban) Hold on!
Esteban: Sam came by the garage today. Told me to tell you hi for him.
Sean: How's his leg?
Esteban: Well, you know... Old fossils like us don't heal the way you do.
Sean: Remind me never to get old...
Esteban: Hey, it beats the alternative!
(...)
Esteban: Hey, son... where's my wrench?
Hold on.
Sean: Hold your horses, I'm on it.
So many tools...
Sean: There's a lot of tools to search through...
Esteban: Well, bring it to me when you got it.
(...)
Esteban: Hey seriously, what's taking you so long?
Sean: Hey, seriously. I'm not a mechanic.
Esteban: Come on. Bring me anything, really.
(...)
Esteban: Hey! Did you get your English midterm back?
Sean: Uhh... Yeah... I got a B.
Esteban: A "B"?! But... you were so confident about that essay you wrote.
Sean: Yeah, I think Ms. Calloway is just prejudiced against Vonnegut...
Esteban: But Slaughterhouse Five is amazing!
Sean: Hey, you don't gotta tell me! Tell her!
Esteban: Next parent-teacher meeting... She's gettin' a piece of my mind. Prejudiced against Vonnegut...
(Offer the right tool quickly)
Sean picks up the wrench from on top of the car and gives it to Esteban.
Sean: Is that it?
Esteban: Hey, yes, that's the one! That was quick. So you did learn something from your old man after all...
Sean: Yeah, yeah...
Esteban: All right, just let me... tighten... this. So. Finally decided to come and join your old man under the hood, huh?
(Offer the wrong tool)
Sean: Hey, I got it. I think.
Esteban: Hm... Wrong size. I need a 16mm.
Sean goes back to looking for the wrench.
(Offer the right tool eventually)
Sean picks up the wrench from on top of the car and gives it to Esteban.
Sean: Is that it?
Esteban: Yes! This is it. Took your time about it, but you did it! I'll make a greasemonkey out of you.
Sean: Yeah, yeah...
Esteban: All right, just let me... tighten... this. So. Finally decided to come and join your old man under the hood, huh?
(Offer the wrong tool too many times)
Esteban: Nearly. But this is a midget one. I need his big brother. Okay, hey, forget it. I'll do it with this one right here. It'll... probably work.
Esteban picks up a nearby wrench and attempts to use it on the car before recoiling back.
Esteban: Owww, shit! All right, nevermind, enough of this. I'm done. Hey, quick tip, my son. Go Google "Wrenches" and see what you can learn.
Sean: Yeah, uh... sure...
Esteban: I know, it's not your thing. But you gotta learn a trade. Art, athletics, engineering, I don't care... As long as you put your heart into it.
What's the point?
Sean: You always say that... But... for what?
Esteban: So you deadbeats can take care of me when I retire.
Sean: You'll never retire.
Esteban: Someday. Then maybe back to México... Back to Puerto Lobos...
I'm trying...
Sean: I'm trying... I just... Don't know what direction to go...
Esteban: You're only sixteen years old. You've got time to figure it out... Trust me, took me a while too...
Sean: And... You happy with it? I mean, your job... living here...?
Esteban: Of course I am! We're doing great. Maybe one day, when I retire, I'll go back to México... To Puerto Lobos... But until then...
Sean: I've heard this one before...
Esteban: Hmm... I don't even know why I'm fixing you a sweet car for graduation.
You don't have to...
Sean: Well... You don't have to... I mean... It's cool...
Esteban: Are you sure you're my son? You don't want to visit México... don't want to have a car... I can't even get you into Rush or Santana... Are you going to ride the bus for all your dates?
It's wicked.
Sean: Come on... It's wicked... I'm just not used to driving...
Esteban: You better get used to it. Or you'll be taking your date to prom on the Number 30 bus...
Sean: Like I'm going on tons of dates... Not when Daniel is cockblocking me over the whole time.
Esteban: He's nine. He doesn't even know what cockblocking is. He looks up to you, Sean. Try and help him... It's what family is for. Things are... kinda scary out there in this country right now.
Sean: Yeah. Oh... uhhhhh... By the way...
Esteban: Ha! I was wondering how long it'd take. You need money for the party tonight, right?
Sean sighs, Esteban is standing cross-armed but smirking.
Esteban: Just be honest with me, no bullshit... Are you using this money to buy alcohol? Weed?
Yeah, probably...
Sean: Uhhhhh I mean... Yeah. Probably. But... we'll be partying at a house and... nobody is driving home. I swear.
Esteban: Well, everybody's gotta get home somehow. But yeah. You and Lyla better not get in any car with somebody who can't walk straight.
Esteban hands over some cash.
Sean: Holy shit, forty bucks! Really?
Esteban: Yeah. Why not. You did a good job on the lawn... Plus... I appreciate that you didn't lie to me.
Sean: (smiling) Thanks, Dad.
$40 gets added to Sean's wallet.
Just Halloween stuff...
Sean: Come on... I wouldn't spend money on booze. We just... want to get some... some... Halloween crap and... stuff.
Esteban: Well. Then you definitely don't need the 40 dollars I was going to give you.
Esteban hands over some cash.
Sean: 20 bucks? That's it?
Esteban: (disapprovingly) You can buy a lot of "Halloween crap and stuff" for 20 bucks. Unless you're lying your ass off... Remember... No "eating candy" and driving, you got it? Tell Lyla, too... Ya hear me?
Sean: (disappointed) Yes sir... Sheesh...
$20 gets added to Sean's wallet.
Esteban: Just be careful. That's all I'm asking for, okay? I know what kind of crazy shit kids can get into...
Did you party a lot?
Sean: When you were my age... did you party a lot?
Esteban: (smirks) Sorry... What happens in México stays in México. Now get outta here before I change my mind about that cash. And keep an eye on Daniel while you're home. Would you?
Sean: All right.
Don't worry about us.
Sean: Don't worry... We've got smartphones and stuff. We can call a ride if we need it... and I can always text you...
Esteban: I try not to. Or you know, you could accept my friend request on Facebook, so I can keep an eye on--
Sean: Oh my God. Okay, I have to go.
Sean: Thanks, Dad!
Esteban: Hey hey hey! not so fast Seanie-boy... Don't you think your papito deserves a hug?
Okay.
Sean moves forward to be embraced by Esteban's open arms.
Esteban: Okay, have fun. But... not too much.
Sean: I won't. Promise!
Oh my God...
Sean takes a step back.
Sean: Oh my God... Not when you call yourself like that.
Esteban: Uh, I get it. Too lame to hug the old man. Been there. All right then... Get out of here, Mr. Cool.
Sean: Bye! Love ya!
Esteban: I love you too, hijo...
(If Sean asked "Did you party a lot?")
Sean (inner monologue): I bet Dad had a pretty wild teenagehood, even though he won't tell.
(If Sean said "Don't worry about us")
Sean (inner monologue): Dad's a pain in the ass sometimes... But he's awesome.
Once Sean gets everything he needed:
Sean (inner monologue): Looks like I got everything... Better pack it all up.
Sean has to go back upstairs to pack his backpack by the front door.
Sean (inner monologue): Finally ready to go... Time to skype Lyla on my laptop.
Scene 6 - Sean's Room[]
Sean sits at his room's desk and initiates a Skype video call. Lyla answers, standing at her desk.
Lyla: Hola, loverboy... Just give me a minute!
("On the Flip of a Coin" is playing in the background)
Lyla: Oooooh, good tune! Getting in the mood for tonight, huh?
(The song is not playing)
Lyla: Gee, where did I put the... Hold on!
Lyla: Okay, hi! Did you get everything on your hand-list?
Sean: It's all in my backpack, yeah. Daddy hooked me up with some cash, so... we're set for the night. In case we need anything else...
Lyla: Or if you and Jenn need anything else... (Lyla sits down) Ooh la la!
Sean sighs.
Lyla: Okay, serious talk! What are you going to say to Jenn tonight?
(If Sean didn't practice)
Sean: I don't know... whatever. Do I need to practice?
Lyla: I've seen you in action... Yes! You're totally into her, right?
(If Sean practiced in the bathroom)
Sean: Well, I dunno... Play it cool, talk about the gig last week, get to know her tastes...?
Lyla: Oh my God! You did rehearse your moves for tonight. You're totally into her...
She's super-cool...
Sean: Duh, why do you think I'm freaking out? She's so... super-cool!
So what?
Sean: So what? I don't have any game... These are uncharted territories for me...
Lyla: You're super-cute. Just be yourself... That's why she's into you...
Daniel: Sean, Sean!
Daniel barges in, wearing a skull mask and holding a tube of red stuff.
Daniel: I'm done, look! I made zombie blood! It's... um... corn syrup and food coloring... Hey! Hi Lyla!
Daniel waves to Lyla, who waves back. Sean stands to escort Daniel out.
Sean: Get out of my room, Daniel.
Daniel: I was just...
Sean: Come on, man!
Daniel: Just...
Sean: Just bugging the shit out of me again after I told you to knock? Yeah, I know.
Sean shuts the door after Daniel and goes to sit back down.
Sean: Anyway...
Lyla: Sean, you're an asshole! What's your problem?
Sean: But--
Lyla: I want to see his zombie blood if you don't...
You're right, sorry.
Sean: Sorry, sorry... I'll make it up to him... He knows I can be a dick... I'm just stressed out about tonight...
Lyla: Oh please... We are gonna have so much fun! Maybe tonight's the night...
He's not always cute.
Sean: He's not always cute. You would sound like me too if you lived with him. Anyway...
Lyla: You wouldn't be so uptight if you got laid... And maybe... Tonight's the night!
(Say nothing)
Lyla: That's all you got to say? You wouldn't be so uptight if you got laid... And maybe... Tonight's the night!
Sean: Don't jinx me...
Lyla: Jinx? I'm your lucky charm, bitch.
Sean: Okay... So when are you coming over?
Lyla: I just have to hit up the Momster for the car keys and... hope she doesn't make me lie too much about the party... I'm already in trouble from last time...
Sean: This time, don't get caught!
Daniel can be seen through Sean's window as he walks outside, looking down, and disappears out of view.
Lyla: Oooh shit. Jenn just posted her outfit for tonight!
Sean: What?
Lyla: On her wall. You should check it up, it might... (teasing) get your attention.
Check (Laptop)
Sean: Woah! Her hair!
Lyla: "Woah" indeed. I told you she was super into you, man.
Sean: What's her profile picture got to do with me?
Lyla: Ho, you will see...
<3
Lyla: Hahaha. I see you, Sean. Should we set the wedding date now?
Sean: Hey come on! It's just a heart. I like her hair, okay? No big deal.
Lyla: Suuuuure...
Don't comment.
Lyla: No reaction, no like, no nothing?
Sean: Hey, I don't want to appear like a stalker or something...
Lyla: Okay, okay... Touché.
LOL
Lyla: OMG. You gave her a LOL? That is a ballsy move.
Sean: So what? I'm a funny guy.
Lyla: Are you? I better warn her...
(Don't check Jenn's page)
Lyla: Not taking a look at her picture?
Lyla: I get it. You wanna keep the surprise. Soooo can't wait to get out tonight... This week was hell.
Sean: And I have to work at the store this weekend...
Lyla: You're still allowed to get wrecked at the party... No excuses!
Sean: Yeah dude, that will impress Jenn... "Girl, I'm soooo wasted! Let's chill!"
Lyla: I'd be impressed if you did that...
Daniel (off-screen, muted): I didn't mean to...! Stop! Don't touch it! It's for Halloween!
(If Sean interacts with any object while Lyla is speaking)
Lyla: Hey, are you listening to me?
Sean: You know something called "multitasking"?
Lyla: That's a girl thing, no?
(If Sean draws Lyla)
Lyla: Lemme see that drawing!
Okay.
Sean: This might be my masterpiece...
Sean holds up his caricature drawing of Lyla.
Lyla: (teasingly proud) Well yeah, it's MY portrait.
Nah, sorry.
Sean: Nah, sorry, it's too good for your eyes.
Lyla: Whatever... Wait until I draw you tonight and show it to Jenn!
(If Sean plays with a ball)
Sean opens his desk drawer, takes out a small ball and begins to bounce it against his room's window in front of him. If Lyla isn't busy talking about something else, she will comment:
Lyla: Yes Sean, that's totally fucking obnoxious.
Sean eventually fails to catch the ball and it lands on the floor; Sean lets it go.
Daniel (off-screen, muted): It will wash off, you'll see! Leave me alone! I'll call my dad!
Sean looks out the window and sees Brett and Daniel arguing.
Sean: Hold on, okay? Something's going on outside...
Lyla: What do you mean? Hey!
Sean runs out his bedroom.
Scene 7 - Confrontation with Brett[]
Sean runs outside to investigate the commotion.
Brett: Look at my shirt, asshole!
Brett and Daniel are arguing between their houses. Brett, who is covered in fake blood, is holding Daniel's arm.
Daniel: What's the big deal? It's Halloween!
Sean: Hey! Don't ever touch my brother!
Sean shoves Brett away.
Sean: You hear me, Brett?
Brett: Fuck you, Diaz! He got his fake blood shit all over my shirt... Look!
Daniel: I told you it was an accident! You better leave us alone!
Brett reaches out to grab Daniel again, Sean gets in the way.
Brett: Oh yeah, go hide in your dad's garage! Pussies! You think you own the block!
CONFRONT BRETT
Sean moves Daniel behind him.
Sean: Dude, step back! He didn't mean it, he's a fucking kid!
Brett: He's a fucking r*****!
Sean: What... What did you just say?
Brett: You heard me, bitch...
Sean: Don't ever touch him again!
Brett: Or what? You gonna get your daddy?
Sean: Hey asshole! I don't need him, to protect me from you!
Brett shoves Sean backwards.
Brett: Oh? You wanna go?!
Sean shoves Brett back.
Sean: Oh yeah, motherfucker?!
Brett: Then go back to your own country.
QUESTION DANIEL
Sean turns to question Daniel.
Sean: Dude, did you get that blood on him?
Daniel: It was... It was an accident! I swear!
Brett: He's a fucking r*****!
Sean: See what happens when you don't listen? Dad told you to stay in the yard...
Daniel: I know, I know, Sean... I was just acting like a zombie and I forgot! I swear!
Brett: "I swear! Wahh!" Take the little baby back to his crib!
Sean: Come on, Daniel... we're done.
Brett: Yeah, go back to daddy... Pussies! No wonder your mom bailed on you...
Sean throws a punch at Brett, it lands on his cheek.
Daniel: Woah... Sean! You hit him!
Sean: Get inside! Now!
Daniel: Sean!
Brett moves to tackle Sean by the legs.
Brett: You're dead meat, bitch!
Sean starts punching Brett in the back. Brett lets go then Sean punches Brett again with a left swing.
Brett: You and your whole fucking family are going to jail! Losers!
Sean shoves Brett back, he falls and appears to hit a rock in the ground. A short siren is heard.
Daniel: What... What's going on?
Sean moves down towards Brett, who is unresponsive on the ground.
Sean: Oh fuck me... Daniel, get over here!
Daniel: Sean... is he hurt?
Officer Matthews arrives at the scene.
Matthews: Okay... Okay, step away! Now!
Brett can be heard in the background, he is having difficulty breathing.
Sean: Calm down, officer...
Matthews: Shut up! And step back!
Brett continues to breathe unsteadily, Sean and Daniel back away, Matthews then draws his gun.
Matthews: On the ground, NOW!
Sean: Hey, wait... This guy was... beating up my little brother!
Daniel: He started it!
Matthews: On the ground! NOW! Hands behind your head!
The brothers move to the ground with their arms up.
Daniel: Sean!
Sean: This is fucking bullshit!
Matthews moves to take Brett's pulse, as he continues to breathe unsteadily. Esteban arrives on the scene.
Esteban: Oh no...
Esteban runs towards the four of them. Matthews moves his aim to Esteban.
Esteban: Sean, what's happening?
Matthews: Get on the ground, sir!
Sean: Dad! We didn't do anything, I swear...
Esteban: Sean, be quiet... Officer, listen...
Matthews: (to Sean) Shut up!
Matthews moves his aim back to Esteban.
Sean: I'm sorry, dad!
Daniel: Daddy, I want to go home...
Esteban: Be quiet!
Esteban: They're good kids, officer.
Matthews: Don't move!
Esteban: I'm sure they didn't do anything.
Matthews: I said don't move!
Daniel: Stop this...
Sean: We didn't do anything...!
Esteban: Daniel, it's gonna be alright.
Matthews swings his gun to aim at the kids still on the ground, then back to Esteban.
Matthews: On the ground!
Matthews unintentionally fires the gun. It hits Esteban and he collapses.
Matthews: (quietly) ...shit.
Daniel: AHHHHHHHHHH!
Matthews is thrown backwards into the air with great force. The screen cuts to black.
The screen fades in showing Brett's home foyer, the front structure partially ripped away from the house.
Sean wakes up, a leaking fire hydrant can be heard. Sean looks around, everything in the Diaz front yard is a mess.
A utility pole is at a 30° angle, Brett is still on the ground, rocks and debris litter the road. The camera pans to show a flaming vehicle.
Sean moves his hands to his mouth in shock. Sean whimpers a "No", we see the police car upside down and Officer Matthews lying dead in the road. The camera then pans to Brett laying motionless, his head now on the curb (several feet from where he fell). Sean then sees Esteban.
Sean: Oh fuck!
Esteban is lying dead on the ground, blood covering his chest.
Sean: No way! No...
Esteban does not respond to Sean. Sirens can be heard in the background.
Sean: Daniel! Hey! Come on!
Sean turns Daniel over, Daniel groans, Sean slaps his cheek for a reaction but nothing happens.
Sean: Daniel! Come on! We gotta go! Now!
Daniel lightly groans as Sean picks him up. Sean carries him to the porch, drops him off and fetches his bag. Sean picks him up again as the sound of sirens gets closer.
Sean runs away just before two police cars arrive at the scene, cut to black.
Into The Woods[]
Scene 1 - Opening[]
A road going through a forest. Near Mount Rainier, Washington - 2 Days Later.
Sean and Daniel are walking along the roadside, Daniel sighs and stops.
Sean: No man. We can't stop here. We gotta keep going. No pouting, okay? Come on!
The track Into the Woods begins to play in the background.
Daniel: But... but... My feet really hurt. These shoes suck... And we've been walking for four days...
Sean: What? Only two! (Sean gestures two fingers) Don't even try that shit!
Daniel: And my back hurts from sleeping under that stupid bridge...
Sean: Yeah, so does mine! I was there too. Just... knock it off! Hate it when you act like this... This is how people camp in the woods. It's not like being... being at home or... in your room. This is a... a real adventure! Right? So... Come on!
Sean grabs Daniel by the arm and tries to pull him along. Daniel is dragged along.
Sean: Let's... hit the trail! Seriously...
Daniel pulls away and sits down on the ground, arms wrapped around his legs.
Daniel: Where is Dad?
Sean: Daniel... Come on... We gotta go.
Daniel: Why isn't Dad with us, Sean? Doesn't he want to go camping too?
Sean: Yes... but I told you that... He can't. I told you... Okay?
Daniel: Okay... But I'm so sick of walking! I just wish I was back in my room...
Sean: I know, I know... Hey... At least we don't have to go to school on Monday. Right?
Daniel: Yeah...
Sean: Look! Everybody's going to be... so stoked when they find out... how far you walked!
Daniel: Really? Really? I bet Dad would be too! Do you think we've walked like, maybe a hundred miles?
Sean: Probably two hundred! Feels like it...
Daniel: Oooo... Awesome possum!
Sean helps Daniel back up, they then carry on walking down the roadside.
Daniel: But next time... Dad better get me a good pair of shoes! Like yours!
Sean: Dude, a bigfoot doesn't need good shoes.
Daniel: I'd rather be a wolf! Owwoooo! We could be wolves.
Sean: Yeah... Yeah... that... that works... Just... Work on that howl! Hey, you know what? Let's see if you can walk the whole way... without complaining once, huh?
Daniel: Uh... Like you don't whine too?
Sean: I don't whine... I... I... tag your ass and run! You're it!
Sean tags Daniel and steps forward.
Daniel: No way! Not fair!
Sean jogs ahead.
Sean: Whatever!
Daniel moves his arms up like a zombie.
Daniel: Okay... I'm a zombie and I'm gonna eat you! (Starts running) BLAAAAAAAAH!
Daniel pretends to bite into Sean's arm. Sean goes along with it for a second before pulling himself away. They go back into a steady pace of walking. The camera fixes in place showing Daniel's mask which has fallen off as they walk forward.
More scenic shots of them walking alone with nature, sitting for a rest, more walking. They eventually reach a sign.
Daniel: Sean, look! What's that sign?
The sign reads Trout Spring Trail - Nisqually River viewpoint.
Daniel: Are we there yet?
Sean: Dude. Stop! You know what, you're not allowed to say that... Ever again!
Daniel: Yesssss... Sir.
Sean: You'll be the first one to know when we get there, okay? I'm tired and hungry too!
Scene 2 - Roadside Walk[]
After an unknown amount of time, Sean and Daniel are still walking along the road.
Sean: Listen... This looks like a perfect place to camp out... I bet we're not the first people to stay the night.
Daniel: It's creepy! There's nobody out here... We didn't even see any cars!
Sean: We're gonna camp here. I'll look out for you.
Daniel: Oooo! Look!
Daniel reaches a car parked off the road. The front window is slightly ajar.
Daniel: Man, it's so dirty... Hmmm... I see something... What is that?
(If Sean bypasses the car without discussing)
Daniel: Hey! Come see!
I'm coming!
Sean: I'm coming.
Daniel continues to examine the car until he loses interest himself.
Leave it.
Sean: Daniel, come on! We shouldn't mess with anybody's car.
Daniel: Okay, okay...
Daniel loses interest the car right away.
(Say nothing)
Daniel: Mmmmm... Goodbye, car.
Daniel loses interest the car right away.
(Walk away)
Sean: Let's get going, little bro.
Daniel: Okay, okay...
Daniel loses interest the car right away.
Regardless of Daniel's interest in the car, Sean can decide to check it out together at any given moment.
(Daniel is examining the car)
Sean joins Daniel by the car.
Sean: What did you find?
(Daniel lost interest in the car)
Sean examines the car.
Sean: Look at this, Daniel...
Daniel joins Sean.
Daniel: Check it out! There's a chunky Chock-O-Crisp bar! On the dashboard!
Sean: Yeah I see it!
Daniel: You know I love Chock-O-Crisp bars! I haven't had one in a million years!
Sean: Yeah right... More like two days ago.
Daniel: Come on! Can we please, please, please, get one when we next stop next? Please?
Daniel has his hands together in a praying gesture.
Let's take this one.
Sean: Let's take this one. Nobody's going to miss one single Chock-O-Crisp bar.
Daniel: Really? I would.
Sean: This is for a good cause!
Sean reaches his hand in to steal the bar.
Sean: Almost... Got it!
Daniel: Yes!
Sean: BOOM! Chock-O-Crisp is ours! Now we have dessert! Come on. Let's beat it.
You return to free roam, Daniel will remark while looking around the area:
Daniel: I hope nobody gets mad we took their Chock-O-Crisp...
I promise.
Sean: I promise.
Daniel: Yeah!
Sean puts his hand on Daniel's back and they walk away from the car.
Sean: And you can wash it down with a frosty root beer later, okay?
Daniel: But I'm starving…
Sean: (nudges Daniel) Just don't eat me!
Daniel pretends to be a zombie, Sean protects himself with his arms, both of them laughing.
You return to free roam, Daniel will remark while looking around the area:
Daniel: Oh man, I'm so hungry for Chock-O-Crisps now... I hope there'll be plenty at the next store!
Daniel: I hope we don't get lost...
Daniel can spot a roadkill on the side of the road and walk up to it.
Daniel: Sean, look. Gross... Roadkill...
Discuss (Dead Animal)
Sean: Come on, Daniel... Don't look at it.
Daniel: It's not fair...
Sean: No... No it's not, Daniel...
(Ignore)
Daniel: It's not fair...
Examine (Sign)
Sean can examine a Self-Service Pay Station sign with a coin box attached to it:
Sean (inner monologue): Like anybody is going to pay in the middle of nowhere...
If Sean focuses on the box:
Sean (inner monologue): Hmmm... Could take a quick peek.
Sean can try to open the locked box.
Sean (inner monologue): Damn. This is gonna be a bitch...
Use a rock
Sean: Fuck it.
Daniel walks up to Sean as he picks up a rock.
Daniel: Uh... Sean? What are you doing?
Sean: Just... taking a little peek inside...
Daniel: But... But are we allowed to?
Sean: It's a box in the middle of the woods. Nobody cares!
With a few hits, Sean breaks the lock off with the rock.
Sean: Aw... shit... Don't worry... It's empty. Of course.
Sean (inner monologue): Fuck me! So tired of this bullshit...
Daniel: I wonder what Dad is doing right now... Do you think he's worried about us?
Sean: Worried? No. He knows how tough we are.
Show to Daniel (Trail Blaze)
Sean: Daniel, check out this mark on the tree...
Daniel: What is that? Graffiti?
Sean: Not exactly... It's called a "Trail Blaze" and people used to put them up to give directions...
Daniel: Like GPS?
Sean: Yeah, sure... Just slightly more ancient.
Daniel: Awesome! Let's follow it!
Sean (inner monologue): If only Dad was here... Stop thinking about that... Get over yourself.
Sean: Come on Daniel... The sun is going down...
Asking Daniel about the restroom
Sean: Okay, dude. Do you have to use the bathroom?
Daniel: No! It smells real bad...
Sean: No shit. Seriously? You better go now.
Daniel: I don't have to go! Jeez! Can't I just pee on a tree?
It's safer in here.
Sean: As long as you don't mind the poison ivy on your balls!
Daniel: Uhhhh... Well... Maybe I'll go... But don't let me get stuck in there!
Sean: Don't worry, I'll call the forest plumbers, if you fall in.
Sean opens the restroom for Daniel, the latter reluctantly gets in and closes the door.
Daniel (off-screen, muffled): (as he urinates) Yuck... This is disgusting!
Daniel quickly gets out, covering his nose with his hand.
Daniel: So gross! These are worse than the ones at school!
Sean: (chuckles) Especially after you use it...
Sean (inner monologue): Daniel's always making a fuss for nothing. He'll thank me later.
Okay.
Sean: Okay, but you'll have to go on your own later…
Daniel: Stop treating me like a baby…
Sean (inner monologue): (sarcastically) Great. He's going to wake me up in the middle of the night to take a shit.
Scene 3 - In the Forest[]
Sean and Daniel begin to walk into the forest away from the road, following the trail.
Daniel: Sean... Look how big these trees are...
Sean: That's only because they need the sun. Besides, they'll protect us from the rain.
Daniel: What if they don't? What if they... a... attack us?
Aren't you Mr. Minecraft?
Sean: Aren't you Mr. Minecraft? I thought you loved the forest? I watched you build giant cities out of logs!
Daniel: I did! I built the biggest cities ever! Ooo... I can use my axe to chop up some wood! Then we can build a secret base!
Sean: Well... Sounds like you're ready for the woods! Lead the way!
It's like Lord of the Rings.
Sean: Hey! You've watched Lord of the Rings with Dad, like... a hundred times! Here's your chance to go on a real adventure... with... me!
Daniel: Hmmm... So I'm like... Frodo... And you're... Sam?
Sean: Uh, well... I was thinking more like Aragorn... You know, brave, strong... good looking...
Daniel: (Laughing) No way, Jose. You're Sam! Sam! And we have to find a secret cave, so we can hide from the Orcs...
Sean: Okay, okay... Sam I am... After you Master Daniel...
(Neither is chosen)
Daniel: Ummmm...
Sean: Dude, the forest is not going to attack us. Let's just move on and... find a safe place to sleep... Like our own secret base, cool?
(Taught Daniel about Trail Blazes)
Daniel: What does that one say?
Sean: It says to go right...
Upon reaching the Direction Sign.
Daniel: Where are we going?
Sean: Hmm... The river must be a bit further... Let's take a look around.
Sean and Daniel reach an area where the path branches out. There are trees scattered about and to the left is a picnic area.
Daniel: Wow... That place is huge!
Sean: Yeah, it's kinda cool.
Sean (inner monologue): I don't think Daniel understands what's going on. I can't tell him the truth now. I just can't.
(Taught Daniel about Trail Blazes)
Daniel: Oh, this one looks like a tetris block!
Daniel walks up to some berries.
Daniel: Hey Sean! I found berries! Can I taste one, please?
Sure.
Sean: Sure, treat yourself.
(The berry is safe)
One of the listed lines:
Daniel: Mmmmm... Delicious!
Daniel: Ooooh, juicy!
Daniel: They're not bad...(The berry is poisonous)
Daniel: Mmmmm... They taste funny!
Note: Daniel will be sick in the night.
Daniel eats a berry, then several more, trying to throw the last one into his mouth (he misses).
Not these ones.
Sean: Not these ones. Come on.
Daniel: I'm starving... One won't hurt...
Sean: Yeah it could. You better listen to me!
Hold on.
Sean: Hold on. I'm coming.
Sean checks the berries by tasting them.
(The berry is safe)
Sean: They're okay. Go ahead.
Daniel eats a berry, then several more, trying to throw the last one into his mouth (he misses).
Daniel will eat similar berries without prompting but will ask about other variants.
(The berry is poisonous)
Sean spits out the berry.
Sean: Hey man, do not eat those. Seriously.
Daniel: Okay, okay...
Daniel will avoid similar berries without prompting but will ask about other variants.
If Sean waits for too long, Daniel will decide to eat the berries:
Daniel: Guess I can try one...
(Say nothing)
If Sean waits for too long, Daniel will decide to eat the berries:
Daniel: Guess I can try one...
Sean also can be the one to find berries. If he tries them himself and they turn out to be non-toxic, he can show them to Daniel:
Show to Daniel (Berries)
Sean: Dude, I found some berries, come get some.
Daniel: Cool! I'm so hungry.
Daniel will come up and eat the berries.
Scene 3.1 - Picnic Area (Optional)[]
The path branches off to a small picnic area with some benches and a noticeboard.
Discussing the wild animals poster
Sean: Picnic and Hiking Site... Well. I bet nobody comes out here to picnic anymore... Well, that's good for us...
Daniel: No camping? Uh oh...
Sean: Don't worry. Nobody is going to find us out here.
Daniel: Do not feed... or disturb the animals? What... What kind of animals? Like bears... or coyotes... or...
Daniel is looking nervously around.
More like squirrels and rabbits.
Sean: More like... squirrels... rabbits... critters... Just... don't bug them and they won't bug us... They're way more scared of us than we are of them.
Daniel: Unless they're angry... or hungry...
Sean: Okay, come on... Don't freak yourself out. Let's go.
You return to free roam, Daniel will remark while looking around the area:
Daniel: I hope the animals out here aren’t hungry...
Anything with claws and fangs!
Sean: Oh yeah! Bears, coyotes, wolves... Bigfoot... Anything with claws and fangs, really.
Daniel looks scared, focused on every word his brother says.
Daniel: Jeez... We shouldn't be out here...
Sean: I'm kidding, Daniel. There's nothing in this forest. Don't freak yourself out.
You return to free roam, Daniel will remark while looking around the area:
Daniel: I don't want to wake up any bears... or wolves... or... anything...
Note: Daniel will be scared in the night.
Sean can have a moment of calm on a park bench overlooking the river.
Sean (inner monologue): Damn... I'm so tired... Feels like we're walking nowhere... How am I supposed to take care of us out here? I don't even know what happened back there... to that cop... or Daniel... How can Dad be...
Daniel: Whoaaaaaa...
Daniel hugs Sean from behind, interrupting his thoughts.
Daniel: Look at that...
Sean: Yeah...
Daniel: (sitting down beside Sean) So cool!
Sean: Never seen you get so jacked up over a nice view before...
Daniel: So? I've never seen anything like this! Never ever!
Sean: Yeah... I guess you haven't... I remember when... Dad...
Daniel: I wish Dad was here with us...
Sean: Well... Thanks! Not cool enough anymore?
Daniel: Yes, you're super cool... But... I just wish the family was together... at home... It'd be cool to watch a movie and get a pizza and eat ice cream.
Sean: Dude... stop. I told you we have to keep going... We'll see Dad later... Right now it's just... You and me... Okay?
Daniel: Yeah! It's our park! We can do whatever we want!
Sean: That's right... So... we better go build a secret base... so we can hide out for the night... Are you ready?
(Mentioned Minecraft)
Daniel: Yes! I can build anything! We just have to find some cool blocks around here... and be careful of Creepers...
(Mentioned Lord of the Rings)
Daniel: Frodo is always ready for adventure, Sean-Wise...
(Mentioned neither)
Daniel: I'm ready, sir!
The camera cycles around different views until they leave the moment.
Daniel: HELLOOOOOOOOOO DOWN THERE!
Scene 3.2 - Hide and Seek[]
Sean and Daniel reach the edge of the open section.
Daniel: Ooooo, Sean! Let's play hide and seek! Betcha can't find me!
Okay.
Sean: Oh yeah? I'll give you ten seconds to find a hiding spot and then you're toast! (winks)
Daniel: Turn around so I can hide. And don't look!
Sean starts to count on the spot (without covering his eyes).
Sean: One...
Daniel: Come on! You're cheating...
Sean turns around and covers his eyes.
Daniel: No peeking!
Sean begins to count again.
Sean: One... Two... Three... Four... Five... Six. Seven! Eight! Nine! Ten!
Daniel will run and hide behind a random tree in the area.
Sean: (uncovering his eyes) I'm coming!
Sean (inner monologue): Okay... Where are you? Now where could Daniel be? Knowing Daniel, he shouldn't be hard to find.
If Sean spots Daniel from behind:
Sean (inner monologue): Ooo, I see you Daniel... but you don't see me...
If Sean chooses to scare Daniel, he will creep up to him and tickle Daniel.
(Find Daniel quickly)
Sean: GOTCHA!
Daniel: (smiles) Aww, no fair! You were peeking!
Sean: Not when I could see your foot a mile away, dude! I winned! I win!
Daniel: Whatever... Next time I'm gonna find a better spot.
(Find Daniel eventually)
Sean: There you are!
Daniel: You almost didn't find me!
Sean: Yeah, we're in a giant forest...
Daniel: The best hiding spot! That was a pretty good hiding spot...
(Fail to find Daniel)
If Sean continues to fail to find Daniel:
Sean (inner monologue): Seriously... Where is he? Oh no... What if I don't find him...? Shit shit shit... This was a dumb idea...
Sean will get scared and he can call Daniel, ending the game by doing so.
Sean: Daniel, come out now... Game's over!
Daniel comes out of his hiding spot and runs towards Sean.
Daniel: Don't get mad cuz I'm a good hider!
Sean: (shaken up) Jesus, Daniel... I thought you were lost!
Daniel: What? Are you mad because I won?
Sean: No... I'm pissed because you could have gotten lost.. or.. something...
Daniel: You got lost, not me! I won!
Not right now.
Sean: No, not right now. We stick together!
Daniel: Aww... You're no fun...
Sean: Not today I'm not... Sorry...
Daniel: (disappointed) Whatever...
(Say nothing)
Daniel: (disappointed) Whatever...
Scene 4 - Following the Trail[]
Daniel: We’re a good team, aren’t we!
(Mentioned Minecraft)
Daniel: We have to watch out for skeletons, and zombies!
(Mentioned Lord of the Rings)
Daniel: Come on Sean-Wise. We must explore!
(Taught Daniel about Trail Blazes)
Daniel: What does that one say?
Sean: It tells us to go straight.
Daniel: Ooooh, yeah! I get it! It's a tree map!
Sean and Daniel continue down the trail. Eventually, they come across a raccoon sitting on a rock just off the trail.
Point out (Raccoon)
Sean: (quietly) Daniel! Come check this out!
Daniel: (whispering) What? What???
Sean: Be quiet... He'll take off.
Daniel: Ooo... Raccoon! He's sooo cute!
Sean: Hah. That raccoon will tear us apart. Let's go, bro.
Daniel has a face of disbelief and walks forward, the raccoon scurries away.
(Keep walking)
The raccoon sees Sean and scurries away.
Daniel: Wow, Sean, did you see that?!
Daniel runs towards the area where the raccoon has escaped and starts jumping to see it better.
Daniel: Here, kitty kitty! Aww, that raccoon must be starving...
Sean: Raccoons are way smarter than us... He'll find more food!
(Daniel saw the roadkill)
Daniel: What if... this raccoon is related to the... to the one on the road?
Sean: Hey, don't think about stuff like that...
Daniel: Maybe they were brothers, like us... Makes me sad...
Sean: Stop! They're just raccoons...
(Daniel didn't see the roadkill)
Daniel: What if the raccoon came with us? He could be our pet!
Sean: Man, raccoons are not a "pet". You ever see their claws?
Daniel: Yeah, but this one liked me!
Sean: Until you run out of food. Let it go, Daniel.
Following Daniel going straight ahead, they reach a landslide with no way to pass.
(Mentioned Minecraft)
Daniel: Oooo... Looks like a Charged Creeper was here!
Sean: What? How could a vine do that...
Daniel: I'm talking about Minecraft!
(Mentioned Lord of the Rings)
Daniel: Oooo... I bet the Ents are out here!
Sean: I don't think ants can move those rocks.
Daniel sighs.
Daniel: The Ents! Not ants! From Lord of the Rings! Jeez!🔊
(Mentioned neither)
Daniel: Oooo... rockslide! Cool!
Sean: Hmmmm...
Daniel: Now we just have to find another way around...
Daniel runs back to find another route.
(Taught Daniel about Trail Blazes)
Daniel: Hey! There's another one here!
(Sean finds the right path)
Sean: Hey! I think this path leads to the river.
Daniel: Coming!
(Daniel finds the right path)
Daniel: Oooooo Sean, look look! I discovered a secret path!
Sean: Coming!
Sean and Daniel reach a fallen tree, even on the ground, it goes almost up to Daniel's shoulders.
Daniel: Wow. That's one big tree!
Help (Daniel)
(Sean steps over the tree with Daniel)
Sean: Come on. I'll help you climb up.
Sean grabs Daniel, allowing him to carefully step onto the log.
Daniel: You better not let me go!
Sean: Would I do that to my little brother?
Sean quickly gets to the other side and successfully helps Daniel down.
Sean: Let's go!
(Sean steps over the tree before Daniel)
Sean is able to step over the tree without much effort.
Sean: Okay, now it's your turn... Hop on down. I'll catch you...
Sean grabs Daniel from the other side, allowing him to carefully step onto the log, then successfully helps him down.
(Ignore Daniel)
Sean steps over the tree and ignores Daniel's trouble with the log. Daniel attempts to climb over himself and falls in the mud. His shirt and jeans are covered. Daniel does not immediately get up.
Daniel: Oh... I feel gross! I hate this place...
Cheer up
Sean walks up to him as he's sitting on the ground, curled up.
Sean: Oh, man... You okay?
Daniel: No. I don't like this place. I don't want to stay here!
Sean: I know, Daniel... I get it. But we won't be here long, I promise.
Daniel: Sean... I'm tired... Do we have to keep walking...?
Sean: No. I'm tired too... Plus the sun is going down so... we better find our camping spot for the night. Is that cool with you?
Daniel reluctantly gets up and continues walking with Sean.
Sean (inner monologue): I'd be such a shit father...
(Keep ignoring)
Sean walks off. Daniel eventually catches up.
Sean (inner monologue): We've been walking for so long... Wonder how far we are from Seattle.
Pointing out the birds' nest
Sean: Hey! Daniel! You hear that?
Daniel: Is that a bird's nest?
Sean: Oh yeah. They're everywhere out here.
Daniel: At least they have a home...
Sean: Come on... We're too big for a nest.
Sean and Daniel reach a ledge as tall as Sean. Sean jumps down.
Daniel: Mmm, this is pretty high up...
If Sean continues to ignore Daniel, or try to leave him behind:
Daniel: Uh Sean? Can you, uh... help me down? Sean! Come on, Sean! Stop messing around!
Sean (inner monologue): Daniel is stuck behind. I should give him a hand.
Sean holds Daniel up and helps him to the ground.
Sean: Come on! I got you!
Daniel: Whew... Thanks! (They high-five)
Sean and Daniel encounter a "Creepy Mushroom" growing on a tree.
Daniel: Uuuuhh... You see that? Looks like a Clicker... Creepy...
Sean makes the noise of a clicker from the game The Last of Us.
Daniel: (laughing) Stop it!
Daniel runs ahead, down the path. He disappears from sight and is hiding behind a tree.
(Follow the path)
Daniel jumps out from behind the tree with zombie arms! Sean is scared.
Daniel: Muhhhwaaahh! I got you!
Sean: Dude... You struck out. That did not scare me...
Daniel: Liar! Liar! I saw your face!
Sean: That was... uh... surprise. Maybe you scared me for like... one second...
Daniel: Ha! I got you, I eat you! Don't mess with the zombie!
Scare (Daniel)
Sean checks a secret path around the tree and spots Daniel lurking.
Sean: WATCH OUT!
Daniel is successfully scared, hands grasped together in fright.
Daniel: Ahhh! No fair! No fair...
Sean: It's not. You think Zombie versus Teenager is fair?
Daniel: I'll eat you later... No fair...
Note: This doesn't contribute to Daniel being scared in the night.
Scene 5 - Riverside Cave (Day)[]
Sean and Daniel reach the riverside. There's a large beach area and a rock formation.
Daniel: Ooo... Looks like a cave... Kind... Kind of spooky...
Sean: No. Actually... it's kind of perfect.
Daniel: For what?
Sean: For us, man.
Daniel: We're gonna stay in there? I dunno...
Sean: Come on, Daniel. Look, this can be... our secret base!
Daniel: Hmmmmmm.
(Mentioned Minecraft)
Daniel: We... could fight off any Skeletons or Creepers with some good traps!
(Mentioned Lord of the Rings)
Daniel: I bet... We could stop any orcs from capturing us in here...
(Mentioned neither)
Daniel: Okay... This will be a good secret base...
Sean: Cool! In that case, we definitely need to get a fire going first. Right?
Daniel: Right! Yes! Uh... So what do we need?
Shit to make a fire.
Sean: Um... You know... Shit to make a fire. Twigs, branches...
Daniel: Are... you sure we can do this?
Sean: Who can stop us?
Daniel: Nobody!
Daniel takes a step and looks back, Sean nods his head.
You protect the base.
(Mentioned Minecraft)
Sean: Okay. I need you to build a camp to keep out all those... Creepers and... whatever.
(Mentioned Lord of the Rings)
Sean: I need you to build a fort to keep out... orcs... trolls... everything.
(Mentioned neither)
Sean: I need you to protect our base...
Sean: And I'll take care of... finding the wood. Deal?
Daniel: Yes! I can build traps, too! Nothing will get to us!
Sean: Awesome, dude.
Daniel: I know...
Daniel takes a step and looks back. Sean nods his head.
Sean: Okay.. Let's unpack. Finally.
Sean takes out the blanket from his bag and lays it on the ground under the cave. Next he takes out a newspaper clipping "Shooting in South Seattle", looking in disbelief at the paper.
("Shit to make a fire.")
Daniel: Sean, check it out! I already got one branch for the fire!
("You protect the base.")
Daniel: Oh man. Our base is gonna be awesome! Look!
Sean crumples the newspaper clipping up and puts it in the fire-pit as kindling.
Sean: Coming!
Sean covers the pit with logs and dirt, and you are given control.
("Shit to make a fire.")
Daniel: Hey Sean. Let's have a race! Whoever finds three logs is the winner, cool?
Sean: Okay. You're brave to challenge me... So let's do it! No way you're gonna beat me.
Sean (inner monologue): Woooh! Daniel is in it to win it...
Daniel: Yes! Here's number two!
Sean (inner monologue): If I let him beat me... He'll be happy.
Daniel: Three!
(Daniel comes back with 3 logs first)
Daniel: HEY, SEAN! COME HERE! I win! It's over, Sean!
You reach the campsite and check the pile.
Sean: All right, how much you got?
Daniel: It's all there!
Sean: Yeah, okay... That should be enough for the night.
Daniel: Ha ha! See? Told you! I won.
Sean: All right. We have a little time to explore before we light up the fire.
(Sean comes back with 3 logs first)
Sean: HEY DANIEL! YOU CAN STOP!
Daniel: WHY?
Sean: We got enough for tonight, man...
Daniel: Aaawww... You're cheating. You're bigger than me!
Sean: Who cares? Now we got some time to explore before we light up the fire.
("You protect the base.")
If Sean stays around, he can watch Daniel fortify the base:
Daniel is building a fence from the sticks.
Daniel: Let’s see... Here’s a good spot! One step here and... wham!
(Mentioned Minecraft)
Daniel: I wish I had some redstone, I could make way better traps!
(Mentioned Lord of the Rings)
Daniel: This is gonna be 100 percent Orc-Proof!
Daniel finalises the enclosure and starts to look around for some more, sharper sticks.
Daniel: We can't fortify without weapons! What do we have... Ah ha! We can use this for a spear! Perfect!
Daniel goes back to the base, kneels down and arranges the collected sticks against the cave wall.
Daniel: Now we have a weapon rack, in case anyone attacks us.
Once Daniel is done, he stands up.
Daniel: (proudly) No man, or dragon, or bear... will get through this! Don't worry, brother. We are safe tonight!
Sean reaches the campsite and adds 3 logs to the fire pit.
Sean (inner monologue): Hey. This isn't too bad.
Daniel (off-screen): Come on... Move...
Sean (inner monologue): I guess Daniel can chill a little.
Daniel: Hey, can you give me a hand?
Sean looks back at Daniel, who's trying to push a large tree trunk up to the campsite.
Sean: Yeah...
Sean walks over to Daniel.
Sean: Yo, what are you doing?
Daniel: Trying to move this branch... to protect the base...
Sean: Good call... Here, let me take this side...
Daniel: You got it?
Sean: We'll see... Go ahead and... PUSH!
Sean and Daniel successfully push the tree trunk up to the campsite.
Daniel: We did it! Nothing can get in here now...
Sean: Damn right. Nice work, Daniel...
Daniel: Cool! I'll go check the river!
Daniel (off-screen): Man, this place is like our own giant camp! We should catch some fish for dinner!
Sean finishes preparing the fire-pit, and you are given control again. Daniel will wander anticlockwise around the area until he reaches the campsite or gets fed up. Sean can interact with Daniel at several points of interest.
Daniel: Ooooh! We can yell as much as we want!
Sean (inner monologue): No way they're putting us in foster care.
Fishing with Daniel[]
Daniel tries to stab at fish with a long stick.
Daniel: Fish, fish... Come out, fish, fish! Take that! Gotcha! No I don't... Stop moving so much! If Dad was here, he'd catch every fish.
Cheer up
Sean: What are you doing, mountain boy?
Daniel: I'm gonna catch a fish to cook!
Sean: Nice! But we should wait until we get some gear or something...
Daniel: I can do it! Just watch...
Daniel tries once again.
Sean: I know... We'll come back later.
Daniel: Okay. You promise?
Daniel drops the stick.
Sean: Promise.
Splash
Sean: You're like a fish magnet, bro! Hey, look at that one! It's HUGE!
Sean lures Daniel so that he leans closer, towards the water.
Daniel: What? Where?
Sean: There!
Sean suddenly splashes Daniel.
Daniel: AAAHHH! SEAN! THAT'S FREEZING! You suck!
If Sean has already upset Daniel in the forest repeatedly, the younger brother will get fed up and skip further interactions.
Collecting the odd thing with Daniel[]
Sean spots something in the trees.
Sean: Hmm... What's that? That's too high to reach.
You call Daniel over.
Sean: Daniel! Can you see that?
Daniel: Totally! But what is it?
Sean: It's your job to find out... If you want...
Sean crouches to give Daniel a boost.
Daniel: Okay, hold on! Whoa, careful, dude!
Sean: Come on! What do you see?
Daniel: Ahhh... Looks like fishing bait...
Sean: Well... Let's take it, as a souvenir...
Daniel: We can hook it on your backpack!
Sean: Nice...
Skipping stones with Daniel[]
(Sean tries to skip stones first)
Sean picks up a rock from the riverbank and throws it, successfully skipping it across the river.
Daniel comes up.Daniel: Hey, what are you doing Sean? Can I try?
Sean: You've never skipped stones?
Daniel: Uh, yeah... But... it was a long time ago with Dad.
Sean: Okay. Then, show me.
(Daniel tries to skip stones first)
Daniel throws a rock into the river, it lands with a thump.
Daniel: He shoots, he... Oh... Sorry, Mr. Fish!
Daniel tries again.
Daniel: Not like that...
Once again, Daniel attempts and fails.
Daniel: I don't get it! It won't skip!
Daniel tries for the last time.
Daniel: (irritated) Man, I can't even skip a stone.
Once Daniel starts trying, Sean has an option to walk over and Teach Daniel:
Daniel eagerly picks up a rock and looks at Sean.
Daniel: Watch me!
Daniel throws the rock. It falls straight into the river.
Sean: Dude, come on... That's a boulder, not a rock! Here, you need a flat rock... Hold it like this... Look at my hand... Boom!
The rock skips across the river.
Daniel: Okay, I get it! My turn!
Sean: Hold it with your thumb and finger... and... spin your wrist when you throw...
Sean demonstrates, Daniel copies, then has another go. He is no better.
Daniel: Almost... What'd I do wrong?
Try again.
Sean: Not bad! Give it another try.
Daniel throws again. There seems to be no improvement.
Daniel: Aw... So close...
You are redirected back to the Try again or We'll try next time choice.
Sean: Try again. You've almost got it...
Daniel throws again. There seems to be no improvement.
Daniel: Aaah! Man...
You are redirected back to the Try again or We'll try next time choice.
Sean: You're getting into the zone. Don't give up now!
Daniel throws again. The rock skips over the water several times.
Daniel: (excitedly) I did it! I did it! Did you see?
Sean: Oh yeah... That was awesome! (They high-five and fist bump) I think you're ready for the Olympic Stone Skipping Team!
We'll try next time.
Sean: Don't worry, man. The current's just too strong here. We'll try on a lake next time. Deal?
Daniel: Deal...
Play fighting with Daniel[]
Daniel picks up a stick and starts fencing against the tree.
Daniel: Oh! You want to challenge me? Behold my sword! Feel the blade! Oooh, almost got me! Ha! You can't defeat a Diaz!
Play ally
Sean: Uh... Who are you? Who are we fighting?
Sean picks up his own stick and follows Daniel's lead.
(Mentioned Minecraft)
Daniel: Skeleton with flame arrows! Watch out!
Sean: Close call! Now it's our turn...
Daniel: Thwack! Right into his skull!
(Mentioned Lord of the Rings)
Daniel: Orcs and goblins tracked us down! Watch out!
Sean: They can't beat our fellowship!
Daniel: Ooof! They're down! None shall pass!
They spar for a bit against the tree, then Sean holds up the twig in victory and Daniel joins him.
Daniel: We are awesome.
Sean: Damn right.
Daniel: Thanks for having my back...
Play opponent
(Mentioned Minecraft)
Sean: En garde, Sir Daniel!
(Mentioned Lord of the Rings)
Sean: En garde, Mister Frodo!
Sean picks up his own stick and initiates a fight with Daniel.
Daniel: (caught off guard) But... I'm fighting the tree, not you!
Sean: The light will purge you!
Daniel: Awww, you're not fun Sean. You know you're bigger than me. Not fair.
Daniel dejectedly drops his stick.
If Sean has already upset Daniel, the younger brother will get fed up and skip the spider web interaction.
Looking at the cobweb with Daniel[]
Daniel: Now that is a big web... I don't think I want to see the spider who made it...
Explain
Sean: Ha. You're safe, little bro. Spiders hibernate in the fall..
Daniel: Good... I remember when you pushed me into that web...
Sean: Hey, that was a long time ago... You got me back, right?
Daniel: Yeah well, you screamed when you saw that plastic spider... Sooo funny!
Sean: Yeah, ha ha... At least they won't bug us tonight... Get it?
Daniel: Uh... No...
Scare
Sean: Don't get too close... or you might get wrapped up...
Sean laughs and pushes Daniel into the spider web.
Daniel: Ahhhh! You jerk! Get this off me!
Sean: Hey, you're Spider-Boy...
(Sean has already upset Daniel at the riverside)
Daniel: Ew gross, it got all over me!
Daniel will get fed up.
Daniel's mood & A Moment of Calm[]
(Daniel is enjoying himself)
Sean goes back to the campsite and crouches to light the fire. Daniel can be seen running past in the background. Sean gets his lighter ready, notices the list Lyla drew on his hand, and pauses. Daniel climbs the rock above the camp and calls out to him, distracting Sean from his thoughts.
Daniel: Check this out, Sean! Whoa! Nice view... You can see so far...
Daniel sits on the rock ledge.
I'm coming!
Sean: Wait, I'm coming!
Daniel smiles from the rock. Sean walks up and sits down next to him. A moment of calm begins.
Daniel: It's... beautiful!
Sean: Pretty amazing, huh? See? It's not so bad here in the forest...
Daniel and Sean lay on their backs, staring at the clouds.
Sean: Hey. Look at those clouds. What do they look like to you?
Daniel: I don't know... Cotton candy?
Sean: That's it? Cotton candy?
Daniel: I dunno... What do you see?
A dragon!
Sean: A dragon!
Daniel: What? Where??
Sean: Okay. There's the tail... and the horns... and the fangs! And the smoke coming out of its mouth!
Daniel: Oh, I see it! It's awesome! Wouldn't it be cool if we had a pet dragon?
They smile at each other.
Our babysitter!
Sean: Andrew!
Daniel: Our... babysitter? Where?
Sean: I swear, look... There's his gross ponytail... There's his pointy rat face...
Daniel: Oh no, it's so real! Ugh... Andrew sucked. I'm glad we don't need a babysitter anymore...
Sean smiles.
Daniel: Ooo... I see something else! There's a giant douchebag!
Sean: Oh yeah? Where?
Daniel points up at the sky, then lowers his arm to point at Sean.
Daniel: (giggles) Right here!
Sean playfully nudges Daniel, both of them laughing.
Sean: Right here, huh?
The camera cycles through different views until they leave the moment.
Sean: C'mon. Let's go eat something.
They walk back down.
Let's go eat.
Sean: No, come on down, we gotta eat!
Daniel looks back at Sean, slightly dispirited, and decides to lie down. As Sean looks up, he can only spot Daniel's legs hanging from the rock and thinks for a moment. Daniel's legs disappear out of view as he heads back down.
Sean lights the fire.
(Daniel is fed up)
If you upset or bully Daniel too much, he gets fed up. You lose the opportunity to interact with him for any remaining points of interest.
Daniel: Ugh, I've had enough nature for one day!
Daniel storms off toward the campsite and sits by the fire.
If Sean deliberately (2 times) bullied Daniel at the riverside into having a bad mood:
Sean (inner monologue): That was kind of mean... But funny!
Daniel can be seen waiting for Sean.
Daniel (to self): I can hear my stomach... "Feed me..."
Daniel: Hey, can we build a fire now?
Sean (inner monologue): We're both done for the day... Better not let Daniel wait around... He's too tired.
Sean arrives to light the fire and notices the list Lyla drew on his hand. He gets lost in thought for a second, then continues.
Sean: All right, enano. We're cave people now. Time... to make fire.
(Daniel is enjoying himself)
Daniel excitedly takes his sit by the fire.
Daniel: (imitating deeper voice) Ook ook... We make fire!
(Daniel is fed up)
Daniel: Okay...
Daniel: Can I help?
Blow!
Sean: You have a big mouth like me, so come on! Blow!
Daniel: Yes! (gives a large puff that blows smolder everywhere)
Sean: Dude, don't blow it out!
Daniel: Sorry, sorry... I wanted to do it like a movie... (gives a softer puff)
Sean: Nice. It's warming up...
I have bigger lungs.
Sean: Let me take care of this... I have bigger lungs...
Daniel: (muttering) ...and a bigger mouth...
Sean: I heard that...
Daniel: I didn't say... Whatever... I... I coulda...
Scene 6 - Riverside Cave (Evening)[]
The sun is setting, the logs are burning, Sean and Daniel are sitting at the campfire, eating the snacks Sean gathered from his home for the party.
Daniel: Wish we had more...
Sean: I know... Me too...
(Stole the Chock-O-Crisp from the car)
Daniel: (smiling) Uh... I'm ready for dessert...
Sean: Hah... Go ahead.
Daniel: Mmmm, do you want a piece?
Yeah.
Sean: Yeah. For once I do...
(Gave Daniel the Chock-O-Crisp)
Daniel: Now I get to be the judge! Because you helped me... I'll share with you.
Daniel gives Sean half of the Chock-O-Crisp.
Sean: Isn't that more like a bribe?
Daniel: Tastes sooo awesome, doesn't it?
Sean: Sure does... Thanks, mister judge...
(Didn't give Daniel the Chock-O-Crisp)
Daniel: I bet! Now I'm the judge and I say: No Chock-O-Crisp for you!
Sean: Okay. Figures you'd try to get revenge, judge. Hey, I want a new trial!
Daniel: Too late! Court closed! Mmm... mmm... So good!
I'm good.
Sean: I'm good. You eat it.
(Gave Daniel the Chock-O-Crisp)
Daniel: Really? But judge! You already gave me the other one...
Sean: Because I rule with generosity... Just... remember this, bro...
Daniel: I will, your Honor...
(Didn't give Daniel the Chock-O-Crisp)
Daniel: I'm the judge now. Not you! So you can't have a piece anyway!
Sean: Okay. Figures you'd try to get revenge, judge. Hey, I want a new trial!
Daniel: Too late! Court closed! Mmm... mmm... so good!
Daniel: I wish we had a cheeseburger and a milkshake like yesterday...
Yesterday was yesterday.
Sean: Yesterday was yesterday. Now that we're out here, we have to do everything ourselves. Right?
Daniel: Okay... But you'll help me if I need it. Right?
Sean: That's what I'm here for... and you gotta help me too.
That shake was so good...
Sean: Dude... That shake was so good... Can't believe we found a diner on the way out here...
Daniel: I want another one...
Sean: I know... We'll get you one... Promise.
(Daniel is enjoying himself)
Daniel: Man, this is the coolest secret base ever... nobody's gonna find us.
(Daniel is fed up)
Daniel: How long have we been out here?
If Sean examines the food and drinks he took from home:
(Packed chips)
Sean (inner monologue): I am sooo over chips...
(Packed cookies)
Sean (inner monologue): That's my quota of cookies for the year...
(Packed soda)
Sean (inner monologue): Good I took those and not the beers, Daniel needed this sugar rush.
(Packed beer)
Sean (inner monologue): (sarcastically) Nice, Sean... Beers are exactly what we needed for survival...
If Sean checks on Daniel:
Sean: You okay, buddy?
Daniel: Yeah... Feels good to sit down... Sean? Are you mad at me for what happened with Brett? I don't remember everything...
Nothing happened.
Sean: Nothing happened... He was being a dick, that's all...
Daniel: Why can't I remember? That's weird...
Sean: Uh... Don't worry, dude. You were running around all day... You tired out. It happens.
It's not your fault.
Sean: It's not your fault... Shit happens... Brett deserved it.
Daniel: Why can't I remember? That's weird...
Sean: Uh... Don't worry, dude. You were running around all day... You tired out. It happens.
We got in a fight.
Sean: We got in a fight...
Daniel: Did you kick his ass?
Sean: Yeah... but nobody won... It's not like the movies, Daniel.
Daniel suddenly points up in the sky.
Daniel: Look! A full moon! Ooowoooooo!
Sean: Uh... It's not quite full yet, wolfboy...
Daniel: Do you think there are werewolves for real?
WE are the wolves.
Sean: Dude, WE ARE the wolves... Oowoooo...! See?
Daniel: (smiling) Oowooooo...!
Sean & Daniel: OOOOWWWOOOOOOOOOOO...! OWOO OOWWOOOOOOOO.
Of course there are!
Sean: Of course there are! But they're no match for us.
Daniel: How do you know? What if they come here...?
Sean: OOOOWWWOOOOOOOOOO... Bring it on!!!
Daniel focuses on the cave wall, where Sean's shade from the firelight appears as a big, dark, howling figure.
Daniel: (scared) Sean...
Sean: Come on! I'm kidding! We're safe here.
Note: Daniel will be scared in the night.
Looking at Sean's phone
Sean (inner monologue): Still no reception... Of course...
Daniel: I'm bored... Sean... Can I play Mustard Party on your phone? Please?
Yes.
Sean: No reception so go for it...
Daniel: Yeah! Thanks!
Sean hands Daniel the phone, and Daniel begins to play.
Daniel: Oh, I am so gonna beat your score... Oof! Aw, come on... (Sean shuffles closer to take a look) Almost... Almost... (The battery dead tone plays, Sean smirks) What? Nooo! I was so gonna beat your score!
Sean: You wish.
Daniel: Stupid phone...
If you look at the phone:
Sean (inner monologue): Aw shit... The battery is totally dead... Maybe I shouldn't have let Daniel play...
No.
Sean: Dude. Get real. The battery's almost dead and we're gonna need it.
Daniel: Come on. You said there's no reception...
Sean: So what? You'd still kill the battery. Forget it.
Daniel: You just don't want me to beat your score...
Sean: That's right. And you never will.
Sean pats his brother and smiles, while Daniel looks down, sulky.
If you look at the phone:
Sean (inner monologue): I wish I could call Lyla.
Telling Daniel to get some sleep[]
Sean: You look tired... Ready to crash?
(Daniel went to the bathroom)
Daniel: I've been ready all day... My feet hurt...
(Daniel didn't go to the bathroom)
Daniel: Uuuh... I think I need to go to the bathroom...
Sean: I knew it! Okay, if you have to pee, then... Go! You want me to come?
Daniel: No! I'm not a baby...
Daniel turns around and stands against the rock.
Sean: Dude, not that close! We have to sleep here!
Daniel: I wasn't! I was... trying to find... somewhere to go...
Daniel pees a short distance away, Sean keeps check until Daniel returns.
Daniel: Sean... I heard something... I swear...
Sean: Yeah, it's a forest. There's a lot of critters out there. Scared you might pee on them?
Daniel: Shut up, I didn't!
The boys move to the blanket.
Sean: I think we earned some serious rest. I could sleep forever.
Daniel: Not on this ground. Ugh...
Sean: Better than freezing out there, right?
Daniel: Way better... Now we have a real fire...
Sean: And a secure base! You did awesome today, Daniel.
Daniel: Really?
Sean: Hell yeah!
(Mentioned Minecraft)
Sean: You're like a... real wilderness expert!
(Mentioned Lord of the Rings)
Sean: Without you, there's no Fellowship!
(Mentioned neither)
Sean: Lyla would be so impressed...
Daniel: Hmmm... that's cool... My eyes won't... stay open, Sean...
Sean: Sleep tight, bro...
Fade to black.
Scene 7 - Riverside Cave (Night)[]
A moonlit view of the forest and river, crickets chirping. Daniel is groaning in his sleep, clearly having a nightmare. The campfire, still alight, appears to be mysteriously affected by Daniel's groans and movements.
Daniel: Daaad... Dad... Where are we?
Sean wakes up.
Sean: Daniel? Hey bro, wake up!
Sean wakes Daniel up with a shake.
Daniel: Sean? Sean? What happened... Where's Dad?
Sean: It's okay! You just had a bad dream. That's all...
(Daniel didn't eat toxic berries)
(Sean didn't scare Daniel)
Daniel: Sean? Where... Where are we?
Sean: Right here... in the park. Remember our amazing fire?
Sean places another log on the fire and gives it a puff.
Daniel: Mmmm, yeah... Are we okay?
(Daniel fetched wood)
Sean: We're fine... I'm right here... Don't worry.
Daniel: Okay, I won't... as long as you're here...
(Daniel built a base)
Sean: Uh, you fortified our base, so we're perfect!
Daniel: Hmm... I did... You're right...
Sean: Go... go back to sleep... You need your rest...
Daniel: But I might have another scary dream...
Sean: You won't. I'm here. Just... Just close your eyes...
Daniel: Thanks, Sean... I'm glad you're here...
Sean: Goodnight, Daniel...
(Sean scared Daniel)
Daniel has tears in his eyes.
Daniel: Sean! I'm scared... I keep hearing noises...
Sean: No, no, don't be! Everything's cool...
Daniel: But... We're alone! And you said there are bears and wolves!
(Daniel fetched wood)
Sean: They're... sleeping. Like we should be. And look! Our fire is still roaring!
(Daniel built a base)
Sean: You... You fortified our base so... we're safe! And look! Our fire is still roaring!
Daniel wipes the tears from his eyes, Sean gives Daniel a cuddle.
Sean: Daniel... We'll find a better place tomorrow, okay? And food too. I promise.
Daniel: You... Promise?
Sean: Promise.
(Daniel ate toxic berries)
Daniel holds his hand to his mouth.
Daniel: Ugh... I feel sick... It hurts...
Sean checks Daniel's forehead for a fever.
Sean: No fever. Maybe it was something you ate...
Daniel: Sean... It really hurts...
Daniel shifts away from where he was sleeping.
Sean: Oh shit...
Daniel throws up.
Sean: It's okay... Get it out. You're gonna be okay.
Daniel, finished, cuddles back into Sean.
Sean: There you go! That's it... You'll feel all better tomorrow. Daniel... We'll find a better place tomorrow, okay? And food too. I promise.
Daniel: You... Promise?
Sean: Promise.
They go back to sleep, and the screen fades.
Bear Station[]
Scene 1 - Arrival[]
State Route 7, Washington. The next day. The boys are back to walking along the road.
Sean: Look, it's easier now. We're going downhill. You just gotta keep walking.
(Daniel had a decent night)
Daniel: Oh yeah, that's better. Hey! Maybe we'll find a milkshake shop!
Sean: Ah yes... The forest secret milkshake factory... Keep dreaming, dude.
(Daniel had a bad night)
Daniel: Yeah... You said things were getting better yesterday... and the day before...
Sean: I'm sorry, dude. I'm trying my best...
Sean: Let's walk a little more. There'll be a rest stop or something where we can buy food. I'm sure of it.
(Daniel had a decent night)
Daniel: Oh! Remember that time? Harry Thompson wanted to beat me up?
(Daniel had a bad night)
Daniel: Moron...
Sean: Are you okay?
Daniel: Yeah... No. I was just thinking about when Harry Thompson wanted to beat me up.
Daniel: Me and Noah traded some games with Harry... But he didn't like his. So he said he was gonna get us after school...
Sean: What did you do?
Daniel: We waited in the gym until he went home...
Sean: That's it? You shoulda told me!
Daniel: I tried... But you said to get out of your room...
I'm sorry.
Sean: I'm sorry, enano. I shoulda listened.
You should've insisted.
Sean: You should've insisted! I never know when you're kidding or not.
(Say nothing)
Sean says nothing.
(Confronted Brett)
Daniel: You did stand up for me... with Brett. For a change.
Sean: Yeah... Well. He had it coming.
(Questioned Daniel)
Daniel: You never believe me! Like with Brett...
Sean: Yeah... I know. It's just... I'll do better, okay?
Daniel: Yeah. I kinda wish you weren't so mean all the time...
(Daniel had a decent night)
Sean: I'm sorry, Daniel. I'm trying.
Daniel: Okay...
(Daniel had a bad night)
Sean: I'm trying my best, man. I know it's been tough...
Daniel: Don't worry, I'm not a kid anymore!
If Sean takes his time walking through the forest, Daniel will speak again.
Daniel: This place is kinda scary...
Sean: Yeah. It ought to be! It's Halloween!
Daniel: Ooooh! You're right! Can we go trick-or-treating?
Okay.
Sean: Well, okay... You do have your costume on...
Daniel: I am the Zomboy! Must eat all candy! (growls playfully)
Maybe not here.
Sean: Daniel... this isn't exactly a neighborhood... So maybe not here...
Daniel: Awww, man! We're gonna miss Halloween.
(Say nothing)
Sean says nothing and Daniel drops the conversation.
Other events and dialogues:
(Didn't let Daniel play on the phone)
You receive a message from Lyla - the phone dies while you're checking the message.
Sean (inner monologue): Shit, my phone's dead. Heh, I'll just check it later.
(Daniel had a decent night)
Daniel: I can't wait to tell our secret adventure to Noah!
Sean (inner monologue): Daniel looks at everything I do... Hope I'm being a good example.
Sean (inner monologue): This big brother stuff is more complicated when we're out here on our own...
Sean (inner monologue): Daniel's relying on me now... for everything...
Sean (inner monologue): What would Dad do, if he was still... Fuck!
Daniel: I hope Dad never sends us on a vacation without him again.
Daniel: It's Halloween! We should be out trick-or-treating! Not out on some road!
Daniel: Maybe at the next place they'll have some Halloween candy...
Daniel: I didn't think Washington was this huge!
Eventually, a gas station sign comes into view.
Daniel: Hey! There's something ahead!
Sean: Yup! Must be the gas station we saw on that sign.
They reach the corner of the parking lot.
(Daniel had a bad night)
Daniel: Finally... I thought we'd never get out of these woods alive.
Daniel: Awesome! I'm sooo hungry for real food right now.
(Daniel ate toxic berries)
Daniel: Those berries messed up my stomach...
Sean: I hear you... We're gonna get food... water... Plus a map. So we can find the best route.
Daniel: All right...
Sean: Hey, come on! I know last night was tough, but... tonight will be better. I swear.
Daniel: Yeah... I hope.
Sean can have a moment of calm on the bench in front of the store.
Sean (inner monologue): Dad always had a thing for gas stations. We've stopped at so many on our road trips. He says they're all kind of the same, they feel familiar, almost like home... The same bad coffee, same nasty toilets, same food... but I don't feel at home at all.
Daniel: Sean? I'm hungry, can we go eat something, please?
Sean: Yeah... Sorry, just... daydreaming.
Daniel: Okay.
Sean: Let's go.
Sean stands up and the moment ends.
Daniel: Hey, Sean! Knock knock.
Who's there?
Sean: Who's there?
Daniel: Europe.
Sean: Europe who?
Daniel: No. You're a poo!
Sean: What the hell, man. Is that even a joke?
Daniel: You're a poo! You're a poo!
Sean laughs.
How old are you...
Sean: Come on... How old are you?
Daniel: Jeez! You're so not funny Sean!
(Say nothing)
Daniel: Jeez! You're so not funny Sean!
If Sean walks to the back of the station:
Daniel: Sean? You sure it's okay to poke around?
Picking up the Cookie Box
Sean notices a cookie box moving on the ground.
Sean: Okay, be gentle...
A bird flies away, leaving a feather behind.
Sean: Fly, be free! Not bad, Sean...
Daniel: Sean... I'm cold... It's cold out here.
Sean: It's not that cold, dude. Just wait... We'll find somewhere warm for the night.
Daniel walks over to the shelf of wooden bears and examines it.
Daniel: Look at all the baby bears! I wonder... if the big one is their dad!
Discussing the Bear Statues with Daniel
Sean: Kinda creepy, huh?
Daniel: Naah. I think they're cute. We should have one at home. Dad would love it!
Sean: No way we're carrying a freaking log around, dude.
Daniel: Oh, okay! Right.
Discussing the Junk Pile with Daniel
Sean and Daniel examine an old car.
Sean: Damn. Why do they let this rust out here?
Daniel: I know Dad would be able to fix it!
Sean: Yeah. Maybe not that one, dude...
Daniel: He has to finish your car first!
Sean: Yeah... I know...
Daniel examines the signs in front of the store.
Daniel: Hey look, they're gonna teach us Spanish.
Sean: Este tipo es un idiota.
Daniel: Sean? You see that sign? "Warning"...
Entering the Bathroom
Sean has the option to enter the bathroom with Daniel. He opens the door and calls Daniel over.
Sean: Come on in. Let's wash a little.
Daniel: I'm coming!
Daniel runs in after him.
Daniel: (looking at the toilet paper dispenser) He looks... He looks like one of your drawings!
Filling up Sean's water bottle
Sean turns on the sink.
Sean (inner monologue): Nice. Free water for us.
Cleaning up with Daniel
Daniel: Aaaaaah! Cold!
Sean: I know! So wash fast.
Daniel: Brrrr... My hands are ice cubes...
Sean: Okay. You're done.
Daniel splashes water on his face.
Asking Daniel if he needs to use the bathroom
Sean: Are we good to go, or... do you need to...?
Daniel: Nah, it's okay. I went in the woods just before we got here.
Sean: Cool.
Sean and Daniel leave.
Optional Conversation with Californian Family[]
Sean (inner monologue): Wonder what they're doing here. Maybe they got some extra food?
Speak (Family)
(First time)
(Daniel begged)
Sean: Uh... hi again!
Mother: Yes?
Sean: Thanks... for the chips... That's very generous...
Mother: Your little brother told us you were sick. I hope it'll help!
Sean: It will... Thank you.
(Any next time)
Sean: Uh... hi again!
Mother: Yes?
Spare a little food? (Daniel didn't beg)
Sean: I hate to ask, but... uh... We forgot to get money before coming here, so... Could you spare a little food or something?
(Didn't upset the family + High Family Mood (≥ 2))
Mother: Aw, you poor thing! Of course we can share... It's like a picnic, right?
The mother hands over a bag of chips.
Sean: Whoa... Thank you sooo much...
Daniel: Yeah, thanks!
Mother: Wish we had more, but that should tide you over for the day.
Sean: Thanks again, bye!
Daniel: Bye!!! See you later!!
The girl looks at the brothers, a bit surprised. Sean grabs Daniel's shoulder to lead him away, and Daniel complies with a smile.
If Sean looks at the family:
Sean (inner monologue): They must think we're homeless... which is kinda fucking true.
(Upset the family or Low/Average Family Mood (< 2))
(Upset the family/Average Family Mood (1))
Father: Do you mind? We're kinda busy. Thank you.
(Didn't upset the family + Low Family Mood (< 1))
Father: Jesus. Get a job, kid.
Girl: (arrogantly) Yeah!
Mother: (consternated) We'd like to help, but...
Father: I thought we left Berkeley to get away from this...
Mother: I'm sorry...
Sean: Hey, no worries... It's cool... Didn't mean to bug you... Bye...
The girl gives them an insolent grin. Sean grabs Daniel's shoulder to lead him away, and Daniel complies with sadness.
Sean: Come on, let's go...
Once Sean and Daniel walk away from the family:
Daniel: (dejected) But... But you said we were going to get some food! Look at the chips...
Sean: (firmly) Dude, stop. Let's go...
If Sean looks at the family:
Sean (inner monologue): (frowning) Thanks for nothing, assholes.
Nice weather.
Sean: It's a really nice weather for a picnic.
(Haven't upset the family)
Mother: Isn't it! So, what are you boys doing this gorgeous day?
We're camping.
Sean: We're... camping for the weekend. But, um, we... My Dad forgot to bring our groceries, so... We had to come here...
Mother: Oh no, I hope you didn't have to walk far... Where are you camping?
(Sean examined the Tacoma Rock Campground sign)
Sean: Oh, just down the trail to the river... We always camp at Tacoma Rock...
Mother: (chuckles) I mean... Obviously. You sound like a native. Um... A local...
(Sean didn't examine the sign)
Sean: I don't know the name of the spot... It's over there... That way...
Mother: You don't know the name of your campsite? Hmm. Okay...
(Daniel wasn't asked to beg)
The conversation can continue.
(Daniel was asked to beg)
Father: Do you mind? We're kinda busy. Thank you.
Mother: Yes, we are a little busy...
Girl: (mockingly) Yeah. Bye bye.
Sean grabs Daniel's shoulder to lead him away, and Daniel complies. Sean can still come back and speak to the family.
Got a flat tire...
Sean: We got a flat tire, so... Dad is back at the car, but we... needed to get some snacks, and... some stuff for later.
Mother: Oh, do you need any help with the tire?
Sean: No way! I mean... My Dad is a mechanic, so... He's got it. But thanks.
Mother: I guess you have all the bases covered.
(Upset the family)
Mother: (awkwardly) Yeah...
Visiting?
Sean: So... are you guys just visiting or...? It's kinda out of the way here...
Mother: Just passing through on our way to Vancouver to check on our new home. All the way from California!
Father: Yeah, like everybody else in Vancouver.
Sean: Oh, it's cool there... We're from Seattle.
Mother: That's nice! I just love the weather up here.
Father: (sarcastically) Yeah, who loves the sun? Can't wait for all that snow.
Girl: I hate the snow.
It's not that bad...
Sean: (reassuringly) Oh, it's not that bad... But I don't know about Vancouver...
Mother: It's lovely according to the books.
Father: Oh jeez, you and your books. We'll see.
Note: Sean has successfully avoided upsetting the family.
What's wrong about it?
Sean: What's wrong about it?
Father: (annoyed) I'm sorry, we're actually having family time right now, so... if you don't mind...
The mother throws her husband a stern glare.
Mother: Honey, do not start. Not now.
She turns back towards Sean and Daniel.
Mother: We're sorry. Two days on the road makes him a grumpy old man.
Sean: Hey, no... It's cool...
Daniel awkwardly looks away for a moment.
Note: Sean has upset the family.
(Daniel wasn't asked to beg)
The conversation can continue.
(Daniel was asked to beg)
Father: Do you mind? We're kinda busy. Thank you.
Mother: Yes, we are a little busy...
Girl: (mockingly) Yeah. Bye bye.
Sean grabs Daniel's shoulder to lead him away, and Daniel complies. Sean can no longer speak to the family.
Happy Halloween! (Haven't upset the family)
Sean: Hey, happy Halloween! My brother's a zombie.
The girl looks at the brothers, curious.
Sean: Don't you have a costume?
Girl: (looking back at her phone) Nu-uh. I'm eleven years old. Halloween is for kids.
Sean: Oh... My brother loves it.
Girl: I don't. I'm almost twelve.
Daniel is visibly irritated by the girl's attitude.
(Daniel wasn't asked to beg)
(High/Average Family Mood (≥ 0))
Mother: Kids always want to be adults... If only they knew... (to Daniel) So, how old are you?
Sean: He's nine.
Daniel: (interjecting quickly) I'm almost ten!
Mother: (to Daniel, lightheartedly) Oh, you can talk!
Sean: Yeah, he can talk... a lot.
Daniel: Whatever!
(Low Family Mood (< 0))
Father: Excuse us, but we're having lunch now... so...
Girl: Yeah, we're having lunch.
Sean: Oh... Yeah... Sorry... Didn't mean to bother you... Ummm...
(Daniel was asked to beg)
Mother: Kids always want to be adults... If only they knew... (to Daniel) So, how old are you?
Sean: He's nine.
Daniel: (interjecting quickly) I'm almost ten!
Bye... (Spoke about anything)
Sean: Uh... well. We gotta get going... You look busy, so... Have fun! Bye...
(Haven't upset the family)
Mother: Take care!
(Upset the family)
Mother: Yes, we are a little busy...
Father: (sarcastically) So bye bye.
Girl: (mockingly) Yeah. Bye bye.
Sean grabs Daniel's shoulder to lead him away, and Daniel complies.
Send Daniel to beg
Sean looks at the family, then walks behind a corner of the gas station and gestures Daniel over.
Sean: Hey. I have a special quest for you...
Daniel: What?
Sean: You have to go ask that nice family for some food.
Daniel: What? No way, Jose! Why me? Sean, I don't want to do this. You're older!
But you're cuter!
Sean: But you're cuter! Even Lyla thinks so. You're awesome with people!
Daniel: Yeah. But... I'm asking for their food... Like we're homeless or something.
Sean: Uh... no... we're just foodless.
Daniel: Okay, I'll do it... What do I say?
Sean: Just... Be yourself... But don't tell them anything about us! Except we're camping... and hungry.
Daniel: Okay...
Daniel reluctantly walks over to the family at the picnic table. They have an inaudible conversation as Sean watches on, and after Daniel points behind him, the mother grabs a bag of chips and hands it over with a smile. Daniel rushes back to Sean.
Daniel: Look what they gave me!
Sean: Whoa, you did it! I knew you could do it, man!
Daniel: The mom was nice... the dad was kind of a weenie, but... we got chips.
Sean: You kicked serious ass. And I'm allowed to say that!
Daniel nods and frowns at Sean.
(Daniel distracted Doris inside the shop)
Daniel: That's twice.
Okay, don't worry...
Sean: Okay... It's cool... Don't worry about it.
Daniel: You're not mad...?
Sean: No... You shouldn't have to do this anyway...
Californian Family's Comments
Girl: I want cocoa.
Mother: Honey, this is a gas station.
Father: No reception, no GPS. No Vancouver. Sorry.
Mother: Nice try. I have a map.
Girl: When do we get there?
Mother: Honey, I told you. About five hours.
Mother: Honey, where's your scarf?
Girl: It's in the car mom, stop worrying.
Girl: Daddy, I'm cold!
Mother: The air up here is even cleaner than the Bay Area!
Father: Can't even check my goddamn voicemail here...
Mother: Oh, look at those trees!
Father: It's getting colder. Great.
Girl: There's nothing to do here. When do we leave?
(Sean or Daniel got food from the family)
Mother: I feel so bad for that little boy...
Father: That's what his parents want you to think...
Mother: Maybe we should have bought them some food...
Father: Why? They're lucky they got anything.
(Sean upset the family)
Girl: Don't they have parents?
Father: Yeah, bad parents.
Scene 2 - The Mini Mart[]
Sean opens the door to the store, Daniel follows, an entry bell rings.
Doris: Hello there.
Doris goes back to her crossword puzzle. Daniel sees the Chock-O-Crisps displayed near the entrance.
Daniel: Woah, Sean! They have Chock-O-Crisp!
(Didn't steal a Chock-O-Crisp from the car)
Daniel: You promised I'd get one.
Sean hears Brody from the entrance, who is sitting in the hot drinks area, working on his laptop.
Brody: Oh man, that is so cool...
(Daniel points out the Claw Machine)
Daniel walks over to the Claw Machine.
Daniel: Oh my God, this is the coolest thing ever! Hey! C'mere... Check it out! Look! Hey! Come see! Sean? Come on.
Playing the Claw Machine[]
Upon choosing to play the claw machine, Sean will spend $1.
(Daniel points out the Claw Machine)
Sean: Dude! Calm down. What is it?
(Sean points out the Claw Machine)
Sean: Hey man, check this out!
Daniel walks over to the Claw Machine.
Daniel: Power Bear Claw! Uh... Can we play? I bet it's easy to get a prize!
Sean: Yeah, no. See all those prizes still inside? Nobody wins. Except the machine...
Daniel: Oh...
Sean: But hey. We're the wolf brothers. Let's teach this machine a lesson... right?
Daniel: Yes! Soooo... Who goes first?
The prize becomes winnable when one of the brothers begins his third turn. Therefore, the most efficient way to beat the machine with only $3 is to keep choosing either Sean or Daniel, the latter being an option that guarantees winning in three turns.
Me.
Sean: Let your big brother take the first shot, okay?
Daniel: Okay... But you better grab that prize!
Go to (Sean's turns) > (1st turn).
You.
Sean: Go get 'em, little brother...
Daniel: Oooo, I am gonna beat this boss!
Go to (Daniel's turns) > (1st turn).
(Sean's turns)
(1st turn)
Sean fails.
Daniel: Can I play? Please, please, please?
Let me try again. ($1)
Sean: Uh... Let me just give it one more try...
Daniel: Okay... But if you don't get it...
Go to (Sean's turns) > (2nd turn).
Okay. ($1)
Sean: Sure... But don't beg! Get that prize!
Daniel: Just watch me!
Go to (Daniel's turns) > (xth turn).
Leave.
Go to (Leaving the game) > (Voluntarily).
(2nd turn)
Sean fails again.
Daniel: Can I play now?
I'll do it. ($1)
Sean: Hold on. Gimme one more try.
Go to (Sean's turns) > (3rd or any next turn).
Sure. ($1)
Sean: Sure... But don't beg! Get that prize!
Daniel: Just watch me!
Go to (Daniel's turns) > (xth turn).
Leave.
Go to (Leaving the game) > (Voluntarily).
(3rd or any next turn)
(Sean succeeds)
If the player lowers the claw in the right place, Sean will be able to grab a ball and win the game.
Sean: (clenching fists triumphantly) Booooom! Told you we'd beat that stupid machine!
Daniel jumps with excitement.
Daniel: Wow! Can't believe you did it so easy!
Sean gives the prize to Daniel.
Daniel: Oooo, let's see... let's see...
Daniel opens the ball and reveals a chibi Power Bear figurine.
Daniel: Soooo cool! Sean, look!
Sean: Bet you're the first one to get a prize outta here... Told you nobody beats a Diaz!
(Sean fails)
If the player doesn't steer the claw correctly, Sean, once again, will be unable to get the prize.
Daniel: Can I play now?
I'll do it. ($1)
Sean: Hold on. Gimme one more try.
Loop back to the beginning of (3rd or any next turn). If Sean fails again, the dialogues and prompts will repeat.
Sure. ($1)
Sean: Sure... But don't beg! Get that prize!
Daniel: Just watch me!
Go to (Daniel's turns) > (xth turn).
Leave.
Go to (Leaving the game) > (Voluntarily).
(Random dialogues)
(Sean begins his turn)
Sean: Let me get in the zone...
Daniel: Come on, Sean...
(Sean lowers the claw)
Sean: Here we go...
Daniel: Almost!
Daniel: You got it...!
Daniel: Just grab it!
(Sean fails)
Sean: Come on... come on... (frustrated) come ooon!
Sean: Jeez! These controls suck...
Sean: Son of a... mother... Dang it!
Sean: Well! I almost had it.
(Daniel's turns)
(1st turn)
Daniel: Let's go, Power Bear Claw!
Sean: Wait till you get a good opening...
Daniel fails to grab a ball.
Daniel: Not fair! It sucks.
Sean: Don't grab so fast...
Daniel: This is hard... Can you try?
I'm on it. ($1)
Sean: Yeah, okay. Let's see what I can do...
Daniel: Yay!
Go to (Sean's turns) > (xth turn).
You can do it. ($1)
Sean: Come on, Daniel. You can do it!
Daniel: Really? Okay... Here I come, Power Bear!
Go to (Daniel's turns) > (2nd turn).
Leave.
Go to (Leaving the game) > (Voluntarily).
(2nd turn)
Sean: Grab! Now!
Daniel is unsuccessful once again.
Daniel: Come on! Awww... bullshit! Oops. Sorry... Ugh, I hate this game.
My turn. ($1)
Sean: Yeah, okay. Let's see what I can do...
Daniel: Yay!
Go to (Sean's turns) > (xth turn).
Don't give up. ($1)
(Daniel learned how to skip stones)
Sean: Don't give up, man. It's like skipping stones, remember?
(Daniel didn't learn how to skip stones)
Sean: Don't give up, man. You're almost there!
Daniel: (determined) Yeah. I got this.
Go to (Daniel's turns) > (3rd turn).
Leave.
Go to (Leaving the game) > (Voluntarily).
(3rd turn)
Daniel: Almost... Almost... Almost...
At last, Daniel manages to catch one of the balls with the claw and win.
Daniel: Yes! You're mine, Power Bear!
The brothers high-five.
Sean: Bet you're the first one to get a prize outta here...
Daniel: Oooo, let's see... let's see...
Daniel opens the ball and reveals a chibi Power Bear figurine.
Daniel: Soooo cool! Look, Sean! I beat the machine!
Sean: Told you nobody beats a Diaz!
(Leaving the game)
(Voluntarily)
Sean: Sorry, buddy. We can't waste money on that kind of stuff right now.
(Due to the lack of coins)
If you have less than $1 and pick any other option than "Leave." in each prompt, you're automatically redirected to this dialogue.
Sean: Oh man... Sorry. We're out of coins...
Daniel: (bewildered) What? That's it?
Sean: Yeah, I told you... Come on. Let's not waste time on that stupid thing.
Daniel: Not fair! I just wanted one little Power Bear...
Sean: I know, Daniel! But look! We're already surrounded by bears!
If Sean has decided to leave voluntarily but still has enough money, he can choose to come back and try again:
Play ($1)
Sean: All right, Power Bear. I'm back.
Daniel rejoins Sean by the machine and Sean's turn begins.
Let Daniel play ($1)
Sean: Let's try it again. Go ahead, dude.
Sean watches as Daniel gets ready and Daniel's turn begins.
Idle lines after playing the machine:
(Sean or Daniel won a Power Bear)
Doris: Congratulations on getting one of these toys... It's been a while since anyone won.
Daniel: Power Bear rocks, and now he's mine!
(Sean left the game without winning)
Daniel: You can't even win us a toy, Sean...
Optional Conversation with Brody[]
If Sean doesn't talk to Brody for a period of time, Daniel will find and start talking to Brody on his own.
Daniel: Hi... What are you looking at?
Brody: Oh, hey there. Well, I'm actually doing research. It's, uhhh... Not for you.
Daniel: Why? Like, dirty stuff? Yuk!
Brody: It's, uh... adult stuff.
Daniel: I'm nine years old! I know these kind of things!
Brody: Haha! I'm sure you do! What's your name?
Daniel: Daniel!
Brody: Hi Daniel, I'm Brody!
Daniel: Why are you looking at adult stuff?
Brody: For work...
Daniel: Ooooo... Okay! Must be a nice job.
Brody: Kinda, yeah...
Daniel: Well, see you!
(If Sean interrupts Daniel's conversation with Brody)
Sean grabs Daniel by the shoulders.
Sean: Hey hi, uh... Sorry about my brother...
Daniel throws Sean a look and walks off.
Brody: (chuckles) Don't be. He's awesome!
(Sean has already spoken to Brody)
The conversation ends.
(Sean has not spoken to Brody yet)
The conversation continues, now with Sean:
A naked person is clearly visible on Brody's laptop screen.
Brody: I know what you're thinking. "What the hell is this creep looking at?!"
Sean: Uh, no, I don't mean... I mean...
Brody: It's not as weird as it seems, though. These people, they only wanna live a normal life. Just... naked. I mean, if they're not harming anyone, who's to say they're wrong?
Nobody.
Sean: Nobody.
Brody: Yeah, I agree. Yes! Why should we all be the same? Who says so?
That's crazy.
Sean: That's crazy...
Brody: You think? Yeah, maybe it is... Or... maybe society wants you to think so...
Brody: Heh, nevermind. I'm getting carried away. Name's Brody. I'm kind of an online traveling journalist...
Sean: Sean. What's an... online traveling journalist?
Brody: Just a fancy name for someone who drives around in a car... writing about people and... stuff. There's a few websites that pay me for these papers, since I know how to write. Nice to meet you, man. You traveling with your brother?
Yeah.
Sean: Yeah... We're on the road. Going south.
Our Dad's with us.
Sean: Our... Dad's with us. We're going south.
Brody: Good for you. The best way to learn is on the road... The earlier the better. Well, I'd love to talk and avoid work all day but... I'm already up against a deadline. Safe travels, dudes!
Sean: Thanks, man... See ya around.
Stealing/Asking Daniel to distract Doris[]
(Sean manages to steal something)
If Sean decides to steal, he can take one item (including the Chock-O-Crisp) while Doris is distracted, either by her crossword puzzle, the puppy, or when she turns around.
Sean (inner monologue): You did it... and she didn't see you.
Doris: What are you doing over there?
Daniel: (whispering) Sean? What are you doing?
Note: Doris is now hostile towards the brothers. Only Daniel's distraction can help Sean if he wants to steal more items.
(Sean fails to steal something)
If Sean tries to steal while Doris watches over the store, he will stop as she throws a suspicious glare his way.
Sean (inner monologue): Damn, stop looking at me please. I'm trying to shoplift here...
If Sean tries to steal two times while being watched, he'll give up and decide he needs Daniel's help. Until Sean steals anything at all, Doris will remain nice towards the brothers.
Sean (inner monologue): Nah... She keeps looking at me... I'm fucked. There must be a way I can distract her from watching me.
Sean can go to the back of the store and silently motion for Daniel to join him.
Sean: Hey, man... Can you go talk to her? Just ask her... stuff... Like you always do...
(Daniel begged outside)
Daniel: Hey, not fair. You already made me talk to these guys outside! Why should I do it again?
(Daniel didn't beg)
Daniel: Uh... Why?
Sean: So... I can shop alone...
(Stole something from the gas station)
Daniel: (disapprovingly) Sean... You better not steal again... You better not.
Come on, man...
Sean: Ssshhh... Watch it! Just... Bug her... Okay? Please.
Daniel: Jeez, okay... But you better be careful...
Nevermind.
Sean: Yeah, okay. Nevermind...
(Haven't stolen anything from the gas station)
Daniel: (frowning) Why do you need to shop alone?
Sean: Come on, man...
Daniel: (reluctantly) Okay, okay. I'll do it...
If Daniel ends up going, he will distract Doris, allowing Sean to steal multiple items from the shelves.
Sean (inner monologue): Okay. She's focused on Daniel... Hurry up, dude, before she busts you!
Daniel: Hmmm... Hi.
Doris: You need something?
Daniel: No! Just... kinda wondering about... the gas pumps. Yeah.
Doris: You were? Why?
Daniel: I dunno... I wanted to know how those tiny pumps can hold so much gasoline...
Doris: Oh I see... Well, we have these big tanks underground that hold all the fuel.
Daniel: Ahhh... So... How do you get the gas... in and out?
Doris: With big tanker trucks. You've seen those before, right?
Daniel: Ohhh yeah... My Dad honks at them, when they get in the way at the pump. And cusses.
Doris: So now you know the whole story.
Daniel: That's... uh... cool. How long... have you... have... this gas station?
Doris: I'm a little busy right now working so excuse me.
Daniel: Oh... right. Sorry.
If Sean tries to steal a Chock-O-Crisp while Daniel is distracting Doris:
Sean (inner monologue): Shit... Daniel is standing right there... I can't take this. She'll see me.
Upon making a successful theft:
Sean (inner monologue): You did it... and she didn't see you. Fuck. Now I'm showing Daniel how to be a thief... (sarcastically) Nice.
Optional Conversation with Doris[]
(Sean starts speaking to Doris)
(Haven't bought anything/Haven't voluntarily discussed the puppy)
Sean: Hey... hi.
Doris: (nods) Good evening.
(Daniel starts speaking to Doris)
(If Sean told Daniel in the forest he could trick-or-treat)
Daniel: Hi! Trick Or Treat!
(Doris is friendly)
Doris: Well hi yourself! And Happy Halloween! Is that your costume?
Daniel: Yeah... but I lost my Mask...
Doris: That's a pity...
(Doris is hostile)
Doris: What are you supposed to be? Besides dirty?
Daniel: Braaaah! I'm a Zomboy!
Doris: You look like a mud boy...
Doris: What's your name?
Daniel: I'm Daniel!
(Doris is friendly)
Doris: Nice to meet you, Daniel. I'm Doris.
Doris: So what exactly are you doing all the way out here?
Daniel: It's a secret adventure!
Doris: Is that so? Sounds intriguing...
Daniel: Did you make all these bears?
Doris: Oh no! I won't take any credit for the bears, that's all on my husband... He won't stop making them. No matter how much I beg...
Daniel: Aw, I think they're sooo cute!
Doris: Well, good for you! Sure glad somebody does...
(If Sean interrupts)
Sean: Hey, don't bother her. (to Doris) Sorry about that...
Daniel: But... I'm talking to her!
(Doris is friendly)
Doris: (smiles) Oh, we're just gabbin'... Nothing else going on.
(Doris is hostile)
Doris: He sure likes to chat.
Sean: Yeah... He talks a lot...
Daniel: Whatever. I do not talk too much. You always say that... But that's not true...
Daniel walks off, annoyed.
(Sean has already spoken to Doris)
The conversation ends.
(Sean has not spoken to Doris yet)
The conversation continues, now with Sean:
(Doris is friendly)
Doris: Well what brings you all the way out here?
(Doris is hostile)
Doris: Yes, can I help you? (frowns) You don't look like you're from around here...
We're on a roadtrip.
Sean: Oh, we're on a... err... roadtrip...
We live out here.
Sean: Oh, um... We live out here... We just don't come this way...
We're camping.
(Sean examined the Tacoma Rock Campground sign outside)
Sean: We're at the Tacoma Rock Campground.
(Sean didn't examine the sign)
Sean: Mmmm... We're camping...
Doris: Yeah? Where?
Sean: I... I can't remember the name. It's not far.
(Got food from the family outside)
Doris: (accusing tone) I see... so you came here to bother my customers?
Sean: No, no way... we just... asked them for directions...
(Didn't get food from the family)
(Daniel fell in the forest)
Doris: Looks like you went through a mudflow...
Sean: Oh, heh... We went on a big hike and fell... a lot.
(Daniel didn't fall)
The conversation continues.
Doris: So where are your parents?
No parents allowed.
Sean: Oh, uh... This is just for me and my brother... No parents allowed...
("We live out here.")
Doris: (relaxes) Yeah, a short trip in the area...
Sean: Yup!
Doris: I see. Well. Didn't mean to grill you. Just making sure you're okay out here. (smiles) Have a nice day.
Note: Doris will either start or continue to be friendly towards Sean and Daniel.
("We're on a roadtrip."/"We're camping.")
Doris: By yourselves? All the way out here?
Come here all the time.
Sean: We know... We come out here all the time... Just not right here.
Short field trip.
Sean: Oh, it's no big deal... Just a short field trip... We're not that far from home.
Doris: Hmm... You don't look like everybody else who stops by.
Note: Doris will either start or continue to be hostile towards Sean and Daniel.
With our friends.
Sean: Oh. We're with our friends... Pretty fun!
("We live out here.")
Doris: (relaxes) Yeah, a short trip in the area...
Sean: Yup!
Doris: I see. Well. Didn't mean to grill you. Just making sure you're okay out here. (smiles) Have a nice day.
Note: Doris will either start or continue to be friendly towards Sean and Daniel.
("We're on a roadtrip."/"We're camping.")
Doris: By yourselves? All the way out here?
Come here all the time.
Sean: We know... We come out here all the time... Just not right here.
Short field trip.
Sean: Oh, it's no big deal... Just a short field trip... We're not that far from home.
Doris: Hmm... You don't look like everybody else who stops by.
Note: Doris will either start or continue to be hostile towards Sean and Daniel.
With our Dad.
Sean: We're with... our Dad!
Doris: That makes sense. How come he's not here with you?
Waiting in the car.
Sean: He's... just outside... Waiting for us in the car.
Doris: Okay... I didn't see your car come in. Well. Didn't mean to grill you. Just making sure you're okay out here. (smiles) Have a nice day.
Note: Doris will either start or continue to be friendly towards Sean and Daniel.
Went hiking.
Sean: He... went hiking. So he told us we could hang out and explore...
("We're on a roadtrip.")
Doris: He's leaving you out here, during a roadtrip? Doesn't he care about you?
Sean: (caught off guard) Yeah no, don't worry, it's super fine.
("We live out here."/"We're camping.")
Doris: That sounds fun... What trail did he go on?
Sean: (caught off guard) I'm not sure of the name...
Doris: Yeah, if you say so...
Note: Doris will either start or continue to be hostile towards Sean and Daniel.
If Sean looks at Doris:
(Doris is friendly)
Sean (inner monologue): (smiling) At least she seems okay... boring, but nice.
(Doris is hostile)
Sean (inner monologue): (frowning) Yeah. We're not from around here. Get over it.
Other idle lines from Doris and Sean:
(Idle for more than a minute)
Doris: Can I help you?
Doris: Do you need any help?
Sean: Uh no. I'm cool... thanks.
(Didn't wash up in the bathroom)
Doris: Watch where you're walking! I don't want mud all over my store.
Doris: Please don't touch anything with your dirty hands, okay?
(Stole something from the gas station/Attempted to steal twice)
Doris: Don't make any trouble, okay?
Sean (inner monologue): Damn! She's staring at me like I'm a criminal. I'm... just a customer.
If Sean examines the photo of two men on the wall behind Doris:
Sean (inner monologue): Wow, did something interesting happen here?
(Didn't steal anything from the gas station/Didn't attempt to steal twice)
Doris: Oh, that's my husband up there. He built this place thirty years ago. Yep.
Sean: Who is the guy with him? Is that supposed to be someone famous?
Doris: Yup. That's a famous Hollywood director or something. He made a show up here but we don't watch TV. Nice man! Don't think he liked our coffee...
Taking a Map
Sean goes to take a map.
Doris: Go on! It's actually free.
Sean: Cool... Thanks!
(Didn't steal anything from the gas station/Didn't attempt to steal twice)
Doris: It's a real nice map. You'll find lots of great hiking trails around here...
Showing the Keychains to Daniel
Sean: See the baby bear, Daniel?
Daniel: Oh that is awesome, possum... I mean bear! Soooo cool!
Doris: Then he's all yours... We have a surplus as you can tell...
Daniel: Really? Oh, thank you! Yeah!
Trying to exit the shop after adding items to the basket
Sean gets ready to exit.
Doris: Uh, excuse me, (Sean turns around, Doris can be seen frowning at him) You going to pay for that?
Sean: Oooh! (shakes his head) My bad... Sorry.
If Sean does it again:
Doris: You trying to sneak out again?
Sean: Oh no, I'm sorry... just zoned out...
Doris sends Sean a glare; however, this event will not make her hostile towards the brothers.
Paying Doris[]
Pay (Shopkeeper/Doris)
(Variant 1)
Doris: Looks like you're all set to go. Is that it?
Sean: Yeah. I think so.
Doris: Okey dokey... Let's ring you up! (points at the register) And there's the damage.
(Variant 2)
Doris: What else do we have? Mmm-kay, got it. (points at the register) That's the grand total.
(Variant 3)
Doris: Let's see... I think that's... Yep... (points at the register) And there's the damage.
Sean is shown the price and can either continue shopping, pay or remove an article.
Continue shopping.
Sean: Uh... hold on.
Doris: Take your time. I'm not going anywhere.
Pay.
(Sean has to pay less than $5)
Sean: There you go.
(Sean has to pay between $5 and $10)
Sean: Mmmmm... Here.
(Sean has to pay between $10 and $15)
Sean: I think that's it.
(Sean has to pay $15 or more)
Sean: Ouch. Okay... We got that...
(Sean has enough money)
Sean provides Doris with the required sum of money.
Doris: Okey dokey. Thanks much...
Doris puts the cash in the register, takes out coins, and gives them to Sean.
Doris: All right, here's your change.
Sean: Cool. Thanks.
Sean packs the bought items into his backpack.
(Sean doesn't have enough money)
(Sean is short by more than $1.80)
Doris: Oh, that's not nearly enough. Wanna take out some stuff?
Sean will be forced to remove some items.
(Sean is short by $1.80 or less)
Doris: Okey dokey. Hmm, you're a little short there.
Sean: Really?
(Doris is friendly)
Doris: Oh please, you can pay me back next time, it ain't much. You boys look like you could use a break. This one's on me.
Doris puts the amount Sean offered in the register.
Sean: That's so cool! Thanks. Thank you.
Sean packs the bought items into his backpack.
Doris: (smiling) You can thank me by not telling the old man. And taking all these bears with you...
Pay.
Sean: (smiling) We only took one Power Bear.
(Doris is hostile)
Sean: Let me see what I can get rid of...
Doris: You do that.
Sean will be forced to remove some items.
Remove article.
Sean: I think I don't need all this.
Sean looks at the items on the counter and is able to remove some of them before deciding what to do next:
Examining the abandoned puppy[]
(Sean points out the puppy)
Sean (inner monologue): (sarcastically) Great. Daniel is going to be all over that puppy...
Sean: Daniel! Come check this out!
Daniel comes up.
Daniel: What? What is it? It's a puppy! Super cute!
Sean: (smiling) Yeah. Super cute.
(Daniel points out the puppy)
Daniel: Umm, what's that? Oooooh, a puppy!
Daniel kneels down and starts petting the puppy.
Daniel: What's your name, huh? You're soooo cute! Awww, you want to come with us? Aw... (calling Sean) Hey, check out the puppy!
Sean comes up.
Sean: (indifferent) Yeah. It's a dog.
Daniel: Oh, a puppy!
Sean: (smiling) Sure... super cute doggy. You ready?
(Sean tries to leave)
If Sean hasn't discussed the puppy and tries to exit the shop after grabbing a map, Daniel will call out to him.
Daniel: Hey, check out the puppy!
Sean walks over.
Sean: (indifferent) Yeah. It's a dog.
Daniel: It's a puppy! Super cute!
Sean: (smiling) Yeah. Super cute.
Daniel: (while looking up at Doris) Is this yours?
(Doris is friendly)
Doris: Somebody left her down the road. If I saw who did that, it'd be the last time...
(Doris is hostile)
Doris: No... just another stray mutt.
Daniel: Awww... He must be sad! What's his name?
(Doris is friendly)
Doris: Her. Whoever takes her... gets to name her.
(Doris is hostile)
Doris: (annoyed) That's a "she".
Daniel: Oh, right... Oh! Can... we have the puppy?
Daniel looks up at Sean, eyes glimmering.
Daniel: Please?
Let me think...
Sean: Let me think... I don't know... It's a pretty huge responsibility.
Daniel: Yeah! It would be so cool! Come on...
(Doris is friendly)
Doris: Oh, honey... We have to have an adult take care of her...
(Doris is hostile)
Doris: (annoyed) We need adults to take care of her. Not kids...
Daniel: I know... I just thought we could...
Sean: I'd love to... but she's right. We can't take care of a dog right now.
Not now.
Sean: Sorry, man... No way we're taking a dog with us.
(Doris is friendly)
Doris: Oh, honey... We have to have an adult take care of her...
(Doris is hostile)
Doris: (annoyed) We need adults to take care of her. Not kids...
Sean: See? Sorry about that... Now let's go.
Daniel: But...
Sean pats Daniel on the back of his head, and they walk away.
Daniel: She was so cute... It sucks we can't have her.
If Sean looks at the puppy after discussing her with Daniel:
("Let me think...")
Sean (inner monologue): So it's a "free puppy"... except to us, huh? Fuck you very much...
("Not now.")
Sean (inner monologue): Hope Daniel doesn't get bummed out about the dog...
They leave the shop.
Scene 3 - Map Planning[]
Back Outside[]
(If Sean and Daniel haven't previously exited the shop with the map)
The family that was eating at the bench drives away.
Daniel: Hey look... empty table!
Sean: Let's grab it! And check out this map.
If Sean looks at the trash can:
Sean (inner monologue): There might be some leftovers in it... Fuck, is this our life now?
Look for Food (Trash Can)
(The family has left)
Sean opens the lid of the trash can and takes out an apple.
Sean (inner monologue): (sarcastically) Yay... A fucking half-eaten apple.
(The family is at the table)
Sean (inner monologue): Not while these people are here. Don't wanna freak them out.
Meal Break[]
Once they both sit down:
Daniel: It's our table now!
Sean and Daniel sit at the table to eat and study the map.
Sean: Yep! Let's see... What have we got here...
(Picked up enough food)
Daniel: This is a ton of food! I thought we were broke!
Sean: Not today, Daniel. So let's grub out. This is our treat.
(Not enough food)
(Took the apple from the trash)
Daniel: We're... eating leftovers from strangers...?
Sean: I know, Daniel. We can't afford more. But it'll get better. I swear.
(Didn't take the apple)
Daniel: Ugh... is that all we've got...?
Sean: Sorry, enano... better than nothing, right?
Daniel: Yeah...
Hank Stamper arrives in his truck, peers at the boys through his window, and parks in the back.
(Got a Chock-O-Crisp)
Daniel: (excitedly) Really? You got me a Chock-O-Crisp?!
Sean: Course I did! You deserved it.
Some time passes, Brody is now leaving the store.
(Sean spoke to Brody earlier)
Brody: Where you guys off to now?
Sean: Uuuh... South. I guess.
(Sean didn't speak to Brody)
Brody: You guys lost?
Sean: Nah... we're good.
Brody: Right on. Pro tip, don't feed the bears! (Sean smiles and waves) See ya later...
Planning[]
Sean takes out the map.
Daniel: Whoa, that's a big map...
Sean: Yeah... Hope I can read it...
Daniel moves to sit next to Sean so he can read the map better.
Daniel: Is this supposed to be Washington? I don't recognize anything...
Sean: Yeah. Me neither... But we have to be somewhere in there.
The map now takes the screen.
Daniel: Hey, I know! We're here! There's a gas station, see?
Sean: Nah, no way. We were near Mount Rainier yesterday. But it's miles away now. Let me show you where we are, okay?
Daniel: Yeah, okay...
Sean can now move the marker on the map to show Daniel where you are.
Sean (inner monologue): We slept at that Trout Trail thing. Then we walked south for a while...
Sean examines the map, eventually moving the marker to the correct spot.
Sean: All right... This is it!
Daniel: Are you sure?
Sean: Yes, it is. It's next to the river we camped by yesterday, here we are!
Daniel: Okay, so... (moves marker several miles away) Can we go there tonight?
Sean: Are you kidding? It's way too far! You want to walk a whole week again?
Daniel: Awww... But it looks cool!
Sean: Hold on, I'll find where we can go.
Meeting Hank[]
While Sean examines the map for another spot, a voice comes from off-screen.
Hank: Hey kids. Looks like you're out camping.
Hank has crept up behind them.
Sean: Oh... yeah! Just going over trails and... stuff.
Hank: Seems dangerous to be out here all alone... But maybe you're the ones who need to be watched.
Sean: Huh? What do you mean? We're just...
Hank: Sure hoped you paid for all that. We don't tolerate shoplifters.
Sean: Sir... We paid for this... and the map was free.
Hank: Well let's go inside and you can show us what you bought.
Sean: No... Thanks... We... have to go...
Sean and Daniel get up to start to leave. Hank pushes at Sean's chest with an index finger, pointing.
Hank: Nope. You're going inside... Don't make this worse for yourself, kid. Or I will...
Daniel takes a step back but you are trapped between the table and Hank.
DISCUSS
Sean: Excuse us, sir... We were just hiking, I swear...
Hank: Then let's find out if you're telling the truth. Come on.
Sean: But... We have to get going...
Daniel: Sean...
Sean: It's okay... Look, our Dad is waiting for us...
Hank: Okay. You can call him from our phone. Now let's go. (Hank grabs Sean's arm)
Sean: Don't touch me...
Hank: Don't do it, boy!
Daniel moves to pull Hank off you.
Hank: Let go! (Hank whacks Daniel in the face with his arm.)
Daniel: Ow!
Sean: Don't touch my brother!
Hank gut punches Sean, knocking him to the floor. Daniel stumbles but manages to flee. You lose consciousness as Hank gives up on Daniel and decides to deal with you first.
ATTACK
Sean: (frowning) No you won't...
Hank: Don't try it, punk...
Daniel: Sean...
Sean: We didn't do anything, man... Leave us alone!
Sean shoves Hank back and throws a punch. It was hardly effective, and Hank gut punches you back. You are knocked to the floor. Daniel flees. You lose consciousness as Hank gives up on Daniel and decides to deal with you first.
FLEE
Sean: (jerking Hank's hand away) Daniel, get out of here!
Daniel: (backing away in panic) Huh?
Sean: Go!
Hank: (to Daniel) You stay! (Sean grabs Hank's arm)
Sean: Daniel, NOW!
Hank gut punches Sean, knocking him to the floor. Daniel flees. You lose consciousness as Hank gives up on Daniel and decides to deal with you first.
Scene 4 - Capture & Escape[]
Trapped[]
Sean slowly regains consciousness and hears Hank in the background making a phone call.
Hank (off-screen): Hi. Officer Burwell? It's Hank. Hank Stamper. Listen. I caught myself a couple of fugitives you might be interested in. (...) Oh, they ain't going anywhere, don't you worry. (...) Okay, fine. Thank you.
Sean fully regains consciousness and slowly begins to realize the situation.
Sean: What the fuck... Where am I... Oh shit... Daniel! No no no... Don't do this to me...
Sean finds himself bound to a pipe by cable ties.
Hank (off-screen): The police'll get those two straightened out.
Doris (off-screen): Are you sure about this, Hank? I don't know...
Sean gets up to try and pry the ties off his wrists.
Hank (off-screen): Then they'll be off our property and won't be our problem no more.
Doris (off-screen): If you say so, then... Well... I'll let you deal with it...
Doris leaves and Hank enters the room to see Sean awake.
Hank: Oh... Hey there. You finally awake?
Hank holds up Sean's backpack and tosses it to the side
Hank: Sorry I had to secure you...
Hank slowly grabs a chair and sits next to Sean.
Hank: But if you're innocent, don't act guilty... How's your stomach?
It hurts...
Sean: It hurts...
Hank: I didn't pop you that hard... You're alright.
Sean: I feel like I'm gonna throw up... Just let me use the bathroom...
Hank: Nice try... But I know who you are and what you did in Seattle. I saw it in the paper.
Hank gets up from the chair and walks over to Sean.
You kidnapped me.
Sean: I'm gonna tell the police you kidnapped me.
Hank: Nice try... But I know who you are and what you did in Seattle. I saw it in the paper. Maybe I should call ICE to make sure you're a citizen...
Hank gets up from the chair.
Sean: Fuck you, hillbilly. I'm American.
Hank goes over to Sean and kicks him in the face, bruising the right side of his face and giving him a nose bleed.
(Didn't steal anything from the gas station)
Hank: Watch it, punk!
(Stole something from the gas station)
Hank: Shut up, thief. You're on my land... and I didn't ask you to come rip me off! You're lucky my wife didn't catch you... She's the gun collector in our family...
Sean: Whatever... You're going to jail for this.
Hank: Pretty sure the local police will vouch for me over a... thug like you.
Sean: Where's my brother?
Hank: Wish I knew... Little shit took off... I'll find him. Don't worry.
Sean: If you touch him...
Hank: You think I'd hurt a little boy? I guess you didn't have any second thoughts about leading him out into the middle of nowhere, though. That's real safe for a little kid... If he's lucky, he won't end up like his criminal big brother.
Sean: Just let me go... Please...
Hank: You're the reason we need to build that wall... You hold tight. I'm gonna go get your brother.
Hank leaves the room. Sean gets up to examine his surroundings.
Sean (inner monologue): Shit! Bastard turned the lights off... Fuck!
Sean can look at the computer.
Sean: Wonder if I could get more light from it...
Sean can push the flex tubes.
Sean stretches his leg just far enough to nudge over a tube, hitting the computer desk. The computer awakens from sleep mode, revealing a picture of a happy older figure leading along two children.
Sean: That's a little better.
Sean can kick over the shelf.
Sean leans on his back and kicks his leg up enough to knock over a wall-mounted shelf, causing a wooden bear and a few papers to fall.
The bear turns out to be a wedding souvenir. It has "Hank Doris Stamper ♡ 8-22-1982" etched into it.
Sean (inner monologue): I'm sorry, but you married an asshole. (kicks the bear away)
Cooperation[]
Daniel's voice emerges from the vents.
Daniel: Sean? Sean? Where are you? Sean? Can you hear me?
Sean: Daniel? I'm right here... Are... are you okay?
Daniel: I... I think so... That old guy chased me into the woods... But... I think I lost him... Is he gone? I'm really, really scared...
Sean: Hey, enano. You're doing great! You totally fooled them! Thanks to you... we have a chance of getting out of here.
Daniel: Yeah...?
Sean: Yeah. We gotta hurry, though... He called the cops on us. (internally) Think, dude... there's gotta be a way out of here.
Sean can tell Daniel to open the vent:
Sean: Can you try and open this vent?
Daniel: Yes.
A banging noise is heard.
Daniel: Ouch! It hurts! Sorry, Sean... It won't move...
Sean: Don't worry. We'll figure something out.
Sean can tell Daniel to open the window.
Sean: There's a window over there. Maybe you can find a way in or something?
Daniel runs around the building and peers through the window.
Daniel: Uuhhh... there's no way. But there's this neon sign! Hold on! I think...
Daniel turns on a glowing red neon sign in front of the window.
Daniel: Here! Is this better?
Sean: It is, but be careful, it might attract him.
Sean can ask Daniel to open the back door.
Sean: Hey, you think you can open the back door?
Daniel: I don't know...
Daniel can be heard running around the building, rattling the back door, and running back.
Daniel: It won't open! It's locked! What do I do??
Sean: I don't know...
Sean can examine the keys.
Sean: Of course the fucking keys are all the way over there...
Sean's vision pans from the keys on the opposite wall to the end of the pipe he's tied to, obstructed by a couch.
After pushing the sign beside him over, Sean can ask for a tool.
Sean: Okay, Daniel? I see some keys. But I can't reach them... Maybe I can... get them if I can pry this pipe off the wall... Can you find some sort of tool out there?
Daniel: I don't know where one is!
(Examined the half-carved bear)
File in the workshop.
Sean: I think I saw a big file... thing in the workshop, with all those bear sculptures... I know you can find it...
Daniel: Okay, I'll try...
Daniel can be heard running around the building, returning after a prolonged moment.
Daniel: Sean! I've found something.
Sean is prompted to take the tool, and so he does. The wood file slides through the bent bars of the vent.
Daniel: Is this what you wanted?
Sean: This is it! You rule, Daniel!
Sean shuffles to and positions the wood file over the pipe's grip tie.
Sean: Come on... Let's do this...
With little effort, Sean pries the tie off the wall.
Sean: Yes! Good job, bro.
Something sturdy.
Sean: Find me something sturdy, like a... screwdriver, or a wrench... Anything.
Daniel: But... where can I find one?
Look nearby.
Sean: Enano... I can't really see much from where I am. There should be some tools nearby.
Daniel: Okay, okay, I'm looking...
Daniel can be heard running around the building, returning after a prolonged moment.
Daniel: Sean! I've found something.
Sean is prompted to take the tool, and so he does. A black screwdriver slides through the bent bars of the vent.
Daniel: Is this what you wanted?
Sean: This is it! You rule, Daniel!
Sean shuffles to and positions the screwdriver over the pipe's grip tie.
Sean: Come on... Let's do this...
With little effort, Sean pries the tie off the wall.
Sean: Come on... Yes! Good job, bro.
I don't know!
Sean: I don't know either, Daniel! I can't even see where you are!
Daniel: Okay, okay, I'm sorry... I'll look around!
Daniel can be heard running around the building, returning after a prolonged moment.
Daniel: Sean! I've found something.
Sean is prompted to take the tool, and so he does. A thin, damp-yet-sturdy piece of wood slides through the bent bars of the vent.
Daniel: Is this what you wanted?
Sean: This is it! You rule, Daniel!
Sean shuffles to and positions the piece of wood over the pipe's grip tie.
Sean: Come on... Let's do this...
After some effort, Sean pries the tie off the wall. The stick flies away from his grip, causing Sean to flinch back in pain.
Sean: Oh, fuck! Okay, it worked.
(Didn't examine the bear)
Sean: Find me something sturdy, like a... screwdriver, or a wrench... Anything.
Daniel: But... where can I find one?
Look nearby.
Sean: Enano... I can't really see much from where I am. There should be some tools nearby.
Daniel: Okay, okay, I'm looking...
Daniel can be heard running around the building, returning after a prolonged moment.
Daniel: Sean! I've found something.
Sean is prompted to take the tool, and so he does. A black screwdriver slides through the bent bars of the vent.
Daniel: Is this what you wanted?
Sean: This is it! You rule, Daniel!
Sean shuffles to and positions the screwdriver over the pipe's grip tie.
Sean: Come on... Let's do this...
With little effort, Sean pries the tie off the wall.
Sean: Come on... Yes! Good job, bro.
I don't know!
Sean: I don't know either, Daniel! I can't even see where you are!
Daniel: Okay, okay, I'm sorry... I'll look around!
Daniel can be heard running around the building, returning after a prolonged moment.
Daniel: Sean! I've found something.
Sean is prompted to take the tool, and so he does. A thin, damp-yet-sturdy piece of wood slides through the bent bars of the vent.
Daniel: Is this what you wanted?
Sean: This is it! You rule, Daniel!
Sean shuffles to and positions the piece of wood over the pipe's grip tie.
Sean: Come on... Let's do this...
After some effort, Sean pries the tie off the wall. The stick flies away from his grip, causing Sean to flinch back in pain.
Sean: Oh, fuck! Okay, it worked.
Still tied to the pipe, Sean pushes the couch away by shuffling along the pipe. After making it to the other end of the room, he kicks the keys off their spot on the wall.
Sean: Come on, you mother... YES! Score!
He pulls the keys over with his leg, then begins making his way back to the vent.
Daniel: Did you do it?
Having reached the vent, Sean slides the keys to Daniel.
Sean: Here, here! Come on!
Daniel: Okay, hold on!
Daniel can be heard running around the station and fiddling with the back door.
Daniel: Come on...
Daniel gets in & Dealing with Hank[]
Finally, Daniel bursts through the door and rushes to Sean's side, embracing him in a hug.
Daniel: Sean! Oh God... I was so scared!
(Got kicked in the face by Hank)
Sean shakingly turns his head towards Daniel, revealing his bloody nose.
Daniel: What happened to your face...?
Sean: That old bastard happened...
(Avoided getting injured)
Sean turns his head towards Daniel.
Sean: Holy shit... Did that motherf... Did that asshole hit you? Did he?
Daniel: No! He tried... to grab me. But... I got away!
Sean: Okay. We need to cut this off. Fast!
Daniel goes to the desk and returns with a pair of long, black scissors.
Daniel: How about these?
Daniel manages to cut the cable with the scissors, setting Sean free.
Sean: Dude, you rock. Did that asshole see you?
Daniel: No way... I'm invisible...
Sean: Yeah you are.
Sean goes to his backpack and starts repacking it while Daniel is led into the main store area.
Sean: Okay. Now we gotta get our stuff... and go.
Someone can be heard quickly entering the store.
Hank (off-screen): Don't make me hurt you, kid...
Daniel (off-screen): Let me go! SEAN!
The lights flicker and a massive thud resonates across the building. Sean hurriedly puts on his backpack, rushes towards the door and opens it. Daniel is standing amidst fallen shelves and rolling merchandise scattered around Hank, who's lying on the floor, unmoving. Daniel's head is down and eyes closed, as if he's unconscious.
Sean: (shocked) Daniel? What... what happened? What... what did you do???
Daniel: (opens his eyes) I... I don't know... (grabs Sean's hand, panicked) I don't know what happened...
Sean: I-It's okay. You're safe now.
The two of them look towards the floor, where Hank lies seemingly unconscious. Right next to him is the box with camping gear and a raccoon sweater, which landed on it during the mysterious explosion. You are given a choice.
STEAL CAMPING GEAR
Sean looks at Daniel before moving forward, towards the supplies.
Suddenly, Hank grabs Sean's leg, then his hand.Hank: You fucking little spic, you and your brother are going to jail for the rest of your lives...!
Sean: The hell with you!
RUN
Sean: Get the fuck off me, bitch!
Sean jerks away from Hank's grasp and makes for the door as Hank unsteadily rises.
Sean: Run, Daniel! I'm right behind you!
Daniel quickly follows.
Hank: Get... Get back here, you shit!
KNOCK OUT AND STEAL
Sean jerks away from Hank's grasp and starts beating him, punctuating each phrase with a kick.
Sean: I told you... to leave us... alone!
Daniel witnesses the scene, alarmed.
Daniel: Sean?! What are you doing?
Sean: Daniel... come on! We got to get outta here...
Sean makes for the door with the stolen supplies, and Daniel quickly follows as Hank squirms in pain.
LEAVE
Sean: Move it, let's go! Now!
Sean makes for the door, and Daniel quickly follows as Hank lies, unmoving.
Escaping & Finding Brody[]
The two brothers run out of the gas station into the pouring rain.
Sean: Come on, come on!
Daniel: Wait!
Sean climbs over the property's fence, then helps Daniel up.
Sean: Shit!
Daniel: Where are we going?!
As they run through the woods, Sean spots something familiar in the distance.
Sean: Watch out! Over there... Let's go...
Daniel: I dunno...
Sean gestures for Daniel to come forward, and when he complies, they start running towards Brody's parked car. They begin banging on the window once they arrive, causing Brody to startle.
Brody: Whoa! What are you doing out here, man? You almost scared the shit out of me.
Brody wipes the fog off the rear window of his car, then partially opens the back door and leans forward.
Brody: You guys okay? You don't... look okay.
Sean: That asshole... at the gas station... went fucking crazy... tied me up in his back office... I swear...
Brody: Dude, say no more, I believe you, okay?
Brody opens up the back door and goes for the driver's seat. Sean pushes Daniel into the back and shuts the door behind him.
Brody: Shit's crazy out in the woods. Get in! You too. Hurry up, before he catches us...
Brody unlocks and opens the passenger door for Sean, who immediately climbs in. Brody takes a quick look at Sean before pulling the gearstick and heading towards the highway, driving off into the night.
US-101[]
A raining forest, a car drives along the road.
Brody: Damn, that is crazy... And I thought I was having a shitty day... I knew that guy was sketchy...
Why did he freak out on us?
Sean: Why did he freak out on us?
Brody: Good question, my friend. There are a lot of messed up people out there... and you throw in a little racism...
Sean: Yeah, I don't think he was down with our last name...
Did he mess with you?
Sean: Did he mess with you, too?
Brody: He started to earlier, but I bought too much stuff. Just to piss him off...
Total fucking dickhead.
(Didn't steal the camping gear)
Sean: He was a total fucking dickhead... Lucky I didn't beat his ass...
(Stole the camping gear)
Sean: He was a total fucking dickhead... Man, it felt good to beat his ass...
Brody: Woah, kid... Maybe he deserved it, but... Don't do it and don't talk about it. Know what I'm sayin'?
Sean: Sorry. I'm just still pissed off.
(Default)
Brody: Welcome to redneck land... This ain't Seattle no more.
(Stole from the gas station + Tried to steal the gear)
Brody: Next time you need to steal something... Don't get caught. Especially in... (jokingly) Redneck land...
More bigfoots than Mexicans...
Sean: Yeah... My Dad said there are more bigfoots out here than Mexicans...
Brody: No doubt. People out here... are more scared of you and your little brother.
Sean: This is nuts.
Only lived in one place...
Sean: We only lived in one place my whole life... kinda lame... but...
Brody: Well, you're pretty young. You have time... That's what's great about traveling. It... gives you perspective.
Sean: Sometimes maybe too much...
Creepy wooden bears... (Determinant)
This option appears only if Daniel pointed out the shelf of wooden bears outside the gas station ("Look at all the baby bears!").
Sean: All those creepy wooden bears should have been a red flag...
Brody: No kidding. You could call that place... The Bear Witch Project!
Sean: (laughing) Yeah. We shoulda turn back straight away.
Brody: Well, don't let it faze you, little dude. You're going to meet some amazing people on the road, too.
A yap from a dog is heard from where Daniel is sitting.
Daniel: Err... (coughing dramatically) uhhmmm...
Sean: What's under the blanket? Come on, I'm not stupid.
Daniel tries to look innocent but then reveals the puppy from the gas station. Sean sighs.
Sean: Daniel...
Daniel: What? We saved her! (Brody laughs) We're heroes!
Yeah...
Sean: (smiling) Yeah... Guess we are.
Daniel: So... What should her name be?
We can't keep a dog!
Sean: Are you kidding me? We can't keep a dog!
(Said "Let me think..." in the mini mart)
Daniel: But you said that... maybe we could.
(Said "Not now." in the mini mart)
Daniel: But we couldn't leave her with those mean people.
Brody: (laughing) Don't give up, Daniel! He's on the ropes!
Daniel: Jeez, come on... We NEED a dog! Bet Dad would agree.
Sean: Just... Just stop... You win... But you better really take care of her...
Daniel: Deal! Thanks, Sean. She's going to be sooo quiet and... and... And what should we name her?
Sean: Hey. Your dog, your choice.
Daniel: Oh cool! Let's see... How about... "Mushroom"? She totally looks like a mushroom!
Pretty cool...
Sean: Yeah, that's pretty cool... Not much of a girl's name though.
Daniel: Who cares? I'm sure she loves it. So do I.
Sean: Alright. Mushroom it is then!
Not even a name!
Sean: Come on. That's not even a name, dude.
Daniel: But... I love Mushroom... and you said it was my choice.
Sean: Okay, okay... You win. But this one's on you.
Daniel: Oooh yeah. Thanks, big brother! See, Mushroom? You have the best name ever now!
Brody: Nice! I feel like I just witnessed history! You're on your way to becoming official road warriors, my dudes.
On the road for a long time?
Sean: Sounds like you've been on the road for a long time?
What do you do exactly?
Sean: So... What do you do exactly?
Brody: Long, boring story short... I come from a family with money but... no soul. I took off after school and never looked back... Now I write stories for zines and websites, do podcasts... protest. Try to make some positive change. Whatever...
Sean: Wow... So you're like all... political...
Brody: Everything is political, Sean.
Are you famous?
Sean: Are you like... famous or something?
Brody: More like "or something." People in my... network know who I am and vice versa... That's enough for me.
Sean: Sounds pretty awesome... I kinda wish I was famous, too.
Ever get lonely?
Sean: Man. That sounds cool... but don't you ever get kinda... lonely?
Brody: There's a big difference between "alone" and "lonely."
Sean: Yeah... and you probably meet a lot of people out here...
Brody: That's right... the unseen side of America...
How do you make money?
Sean: So... how do you make money?
Brody: Spoken like a real American...
Sean: Just curious. Now that we're urban nomads too... If you have any tips...
Brody: I sell shit. Like a good capitalist. Stories when I can... eBay when I can't. My biggest expense is gas and food, so it's easy...
Brody reaches over and turns on the car radio, and a soft indie folk song starts playing in the background.
Sean: Hmmm...
Brody: Hey, no matter what, I just try not to get cynical. (Daniel yawns) Otherwise... I'd be like my family... End of the day, we have to watch out for each other, right?
Sean: Yeah... You did watch out for us... Thank you... Seriously.
Brody: Looks like your brother crashed hard.
Sean: Oh... good. He always goes right to sleep in cars...
Brody: Yeah, and feel free to do the same. I won't take it personally...
Sean: What about you? You okay to drive?
Brody: Oh yeah. This... is my favorite time to drive... Traveling by night is kinda... mysterious...
As the music transitions into the foreground, Sean settles in his seat and drifts off to sleep. Brody continues to drive, and the camera fades out.
Jewel of the Pacific Coast[]
North Oregon Coast - 3 Hours Later
Brody has parked at a scenic view cliff-side overlooking Arcadia Bay. Depending on what the player chose regarding the initial question about Season 1, Arcadia Bay will either be intact or in ruins.
Brody: Man. Look at that... Oregon is like the edge of the world... (Sean murmurs in cogitation, a moment of pause) Hey, listen... I know what happened with you guys in Seattle... (Sean looks uneasy) Do you want to talk about it? I'm a good listener... It's your call, no pressure...
Sean: I... I don't even know what happened... It was so fast...
My fucking fault...
Sean: It was all my fault... Daniel wanted to play zombie and... of course I told him to get lost, and... Our asshole neighbor was picking on him and I freaked out... So Dad came out to help... Somebody called the cops and...
Sean begins to tear up.
Sean: They killed my Dad in front of me... It's all my fucking fault. All I had to do was play with Daniel... and Dad would still be alive... I fucked up my whole family... and now we're alone.
It was the police...
Sean: It was the police... it's their fault! Daniel just wanted to play zombie outside... Our shithead neighbor was picking on him... and I got in a fight... So Dad came out to help... Somebody called the cops and... and they shot him!
Sean begins to tear up.
Sean: They killed my Dad in front of me... One second, my Dad was alive... then... then... Fucking cops!
Sean breaks down and cries into his hands. Brody hugs Sean by the shoulders.
Brody: Hey, it's gonna be all right... Take a deep breath...
Sean pulls away from Brody and moves to lean against the barrier, looking down at the bay.
(Sean rejected Esteban's hug)
Sean: And I didn't even get to hug my Dad the last time I saw him...
Brody slowly walks up to Sean.
("My fucking fault...")
Brody: Listen, it's not your fault. You don't have control over all this stuff. You can't blame yourself for everything that happens in this world. You're gonna be okay, Sean.
("It was the police...")
Brody: Listen, I'm really sorry this happened to you, man. Injustice is everywhere, and you're taking the brunt of it right now. But, you're gonna be okay, Sean...
(Sacrificed Arcadia Bay)
Sean: My life feels like... Like that town down there... Wiped out. Destroyed. Empty. Like I have nothing...
(Sacrificed Chloe)
Sean: Wish I could go back to my town... Even if it was boring like that one... At least I'd have friends... family... a home... I used to bitch about it so much... Now I've got... nothing.
Another moment of pause.
Brody: What is sure is... (motions towards the town) that's the past. But you can't look back now...
Brody turns Sean around, away from the town view, to face the car and points at Daniel.
Brody: You've got each other... and you have to move forward...
Sean: Why...?
Brody: You may not see it but... What you and your brother have is the most important thing. He needs you. And you need him. I can tell he doesn't know what happened. Sean, at some point... you're gonna have to tell him.
I know...
Sean: I know... I just have to find the right time...
Brody: Take it from me... the sooner you can address it, the better.
Sean: Yeah. I'm gonna do it next chance I get. It's just... It's not gonna be easy...
I can't...
Sean: I can't... Isn't it better if he doesn't know?
Brody: If I found out, he's gonna find out. Better he hears it from you.
Sean: I wish I could change everything back... so none of it ever happened... I... I just don't know what to say... But I'll try.
Brody: So then what's your plan? Where are you going?
Sean: Good question... I was thinking... Get out the country... Fuck it... Go down to Mexico, you know?
Brody: Damn. And I thought I was the long-haul traveler.
Should I go back?
Sean: Should I go back? To Seattle? Maybe I can try to explain everything... What happened...
Brody: You should do what you think is best. If going to Mexico seems like the right thing to do... Then so be it. You're going in the right direction.
Should we keep going?
Sean: Maybe this is crazy, but... Should we just keep going? Till we get to Mexico?
Brody: If you think that's the right thing to do, yes. This is exactly what you're supposed to be doing.
Brody: You have family there?
Sean: Maybe... We don't even have family in the US... Except for grandparents we don't see anymore...
Brody: What about your mom?
Sean: No. No way. She's... out of the picture. But Dad... He always talked about this plot of land he owns in this little coast town. Puerto Lobos...
Brody: That's a pretty cool name, so it's gotta be great. OK. So you've still got a long ways to go. We've shot the shit long enough. Time to hit the road...
They fist bump and go back to the car.
(Sacrificed Arcadia Bay)
A memorial plaque is shown as Brody's car drives off.
FOR ALL THE SOULS
LOST IN THE ARCADIA BAY STORM
OCTOBER 11, 2013
Time Won't Forget About You
(Sacrificed Chloe)
A heritage plaque is shown as Brody's car drives off.
Welcome to Otter Point
ARCADIA BAY
ESTABLISHED 1895
Brody: Listen. I'll drop you by a motel. In a couple of hours. You guys could use some time to yourselves.
Sand Castle[]
The scene opens on the moon shining high above the ocean, panning down to reveal a grassy beach. Mushroom runs across the sand, closely followed by a laughing Daniel. Sean watches on while sitting on a nearby rock.
Daniel: Okay Mushroom, you can chase me. Then Sean.
Sean: Uh, no.
Daniel: Come! See if you can catch me...
Mushroom bites at Daniel's hand.
Daniel: Ow! Ha ha...
Sean continues to watch Daniel and Mushroom play.
Playing fetch with Mushroom[]
Sean can examine a stick lying on the ground within his reach and has the option to initiate a game of fetch before Brody returns.
Sean: Hey! Let's play fetch with the pup?
Daniel: Really? Yes!
Sean: Let me do a test throw first, cool?
Daniel: Well. Okay. But I'm next.
Sean: Okay, puppy. Go wide!
Sean aims and throws the stick down the beach, sending Mushroom sprinting after it.
Sean: Come on, Mushroom! Get it!
Daniel: Go, Mushroom!
After a long moment, Mushroom comes bounding back with the stick.
Sean: Good doggie! I think we need a frisbee.
(Threw the stick randomly)
Sean retrieves the stick from Mushroom.
(Threw the stick towards the yellow sign)
Sean retrieves the stick from Mushroom, then pauses and takes a closer look.
Sean: Whoa! What did you find?
Sean fiddles with the stick, then opens his palm to reveal a shark tooth necklace.
Sean: You just killed a shark! You deadly mushroom.
Daniel: She's awesome!
Daniel: Now she wants ME to throw the stick...
Okay.
Sean: Okay, here.
Sean hands the stick over to Daniel, who immediately starts using it to lead Mushroom down the beach.
Throw again.
Sean: Let me try one more time.
Daniel: But I wanna do it too...
Sean throws the stick again.
Sean: Look in front of you!
Daniel: Whoa, she's fast! Come on, Mushroom! Bring the stickie!
Mushroom returns with the stick, dialog as above.
Daniel: Sean! It's my turn now!
Give Daniel.
Go to Give Daniel.
Throw Again.
Sean: Just one more, okay?
Daniel: Come oooon...
Sean throws the stick again.
Sean: You can do it, Shroom!
Daniel: Yeah! She got it! Here she comes!
Mushroom returns again, Sean is given the choice again.
Daniel: Hey! You said it's my turn!
If Sean tries to Throw again, go to (Sean takes too long to decide).
(Sean takes too long to decide)
Daniel grabs the stick from Sean and starts running away with Mushroom in tow.
Sean: What the hell, man?
Daniel: Come on, it's my turn now!
Daniel: Ha ha... Watch how fast she'll get the stick...
Sean: You go for it... Just don't throw it too far.
Daniel: I won't! I swear... I mean, I promise! Come on, Mushroom, come on... Look, it's a stick! FETCH!
As Daniel plays with Mushroom, Sean looks off to his side to see Brody coming out of his car. Brody sets his backpack down next to Sean's rock.
Daniel: Come on, Mushroom, get that stick!
Brody: Looks like these two are getting along. It's good to see him like that.
Sean nods in agreement.
Brody: Well, I got you that room.
Sean: Seriously? I...
Brody: It's only a room, no big deal. Look, I had tough times when I started out... And... some strangers saved my life.
Brody hands over the motel room key, which Sean accepts.
Sean: Thank you...
Brody: Now's my turn to help someone.
Brody points towards the motel's upper balconies.
Brody: It's right there, Room 10. On the second floor. Listen... I don't want to freak you out, okay? But... you have to be twice as careful now. I know it's easier said than done, but... You should get rid of that phone.
Brody: You can always get a burner later. Trust me. And Sean?
Brody pats Sean on the back reassuringly.
Brody: Talk to Daniel. He deserves t--
Daniel: Brody... You're not leaving... Are you?
Brody: Yes I am, but... not until Santa Brody gives you a goodbye gift...
Brody reaches down and pulls up the backpack he had set down earlier as Sean immediately starts making declining gestures.
Brody: Err... I mean, ho ho ho! And don't you dare argue about it. I'll leave it right here if you do.
Sean: Okay. You win...
Brody hands the backpack over to Sean.
Sean: Thanks, Brody...
Sean takes off his old backpack and puts on Brody's while Daniel watches.
Sean: Feels good...
Sean picks up his old backpack and hands it towards Daniel.
Sean: Here. Looks like it's yours now.
Daniel: (rolling his eyes as he takes it) As always...
Brody: Hold on... I didn't forget you. I've had it since my first road trip... and it's always kept me safe.
Brody reaches into his coat pocket and pulls out a red bandana, handing it over to Daniel.
Brody: Now it's yours...
Daniel: Cool...
Daniel looks down at Mushroom, then back at Brody.
Daniel: Hmmm... Do you think it's okay if she wears it? Like our official guard dog!
Brody: Sure... It's... your bandana now.
Daniel ties the red bandana around Mushroom's neck., then stands up and steps on top of the rock.
Brody: Okay... Time for me to hit the road again.
Sean's eyes flicker downwards.
Brody: Hey, don't look so sad... You can contact me on my blog... "A Tribe Called West". So... you better keep me posted when you can... Okay?
Sean: We will. Thanks again, Brody...
Sean shakes Brody's hand, who pulls it into a hug.
Brody: Bro-hug!
Immediately after the hug ends, Daniel leaps off the rock into Brody's arms, who returns the hug before setting him down.
Daniel: Wish you could stay with us...
Brody: Me too, kid...
Brody makes a signing off gesture, then starts heading towards his car.
Brody: Sorry, I'll probably think of a better "goodbye" when I'm on the road, but... until then... Take care, my dudes.
The camera cuts to a wider shot of Daniel and Sean watching Brody start the car's engine.
Daniel: I'm gonna miss him.
Sean: Me, too...
Brody makes a final parting wave out the window, and Sean and Daniel wave back as his car drives off into the night.
Sean: Okay. Time to hit the sack.
Sean pats Daniel's back, then the both of them walk across the road towards the motel.
Daniel: Don't worry, Mushroom. I got you.
#RoomWithAView[]
Scene 1 - Finding Room 10[]
Sean and Daniel walk past the office window as its lights turn off. Daniel is carrying Mushroom.
Sean (inner monologue): OK, good. Looks like the manager's asleep for the night. Shouldn't have any trouble from them...
Daniel: Do you think it will have Netflix? Or a jacuzzi?
Sean: Dude, this is a motel, not an Airbnb. If we're lucky, it'll have cable and a hot shower.
If you go past room 14 where loud sex can be heard coming from:
Daniel: Sean... I hear something... like a fight...
Sean: Um... It's... not a fight.
Daniel: Oh yeah? What are they doing? Sounds weird...
They're having sex.
Sean: Well, Daniel... They're having sex.
Daniel: SHUT UP! Really??? Gross...
It's a TV show.
Sean: Uh... That's a... TV show.
Daniel: Sounds stupid...
(Say nothing/Walk away)
Daniel: Ah, whatever, they're probably just playing.
Sean: Um... Yeah, something like that.
If Daniel reaches the room first:
Daniel: Sean, look! Room 10! I found it!
Sean: No shit, Sherlock Diaz.
Scene 2 - Bath Time[]
Sean opens the door to their room and lets Daniel inside.
Daniel: Check it out! It even has a bathtub!
Sean: Good! I'm gonna throw you in, cave boy!
Daniel: We can even watch TV, too! (Daniel puts Mushroom on the left side bed) And there's a balcony! Whoa, this is nice! And warm!
Sean puts his phone on charge, Daniel takes his shoes off and climbs on the other bed.
Daniel: Oooh... This bed is soft... What about this one? (Moves back to the first bed) Uuuhh, not bad... But too far from the TV! Can I take... the one in front of the TV? Huh? Wanna play it over rock paper scissors?
Sean: Oh, there's no way you can beat me, but... Ready?
Daniel: I am sooo ready to beat you!
(Daniel wins the first game)
Daniel: I won! (laughs, running around) The bed is mine! I knew I'd beat you! See?
Sean: And I knew you'd brag about it...
Daniel: Don't be salty! It's a fair win!
Sean: Yeah, it is. I surrender.
Daniel gets on the bed, sets Mushroom down in front of him, and turns on the TV.
(Sean wins the first game)
Daniel: Aww... shoot.
Sean: I told you, man.
Daniel: Can we play another round? Come on!
Sure!
Sean: Sure, I mean... you're gonna lose again, but... suit yourself!
Daniel: Not this time!
(Sean wins the second game)
Daniel: Aww... Come on... Not fair...
Sean: You lost, man! What's not fair?
Daniel: I wanted that bed...
Leave the bed to Daniel.
Sean: Eh... take it.
Daniel: For real?!
Sean: I don't really care.
Daniel hugs Sean.
Daniel: Awesome!
Sean: They're the same, y'know?
Daniel: Yeah, but I like this one better!
Daniel gets on the bed, sets Mushroom down in front of him, and turns on the TV.
You lost.
Sean: Hey! A deal's a deal! Sorry, little bro. You gotta accept it.
Daniel: Aww... okay...
Daniel reluctantly gets on the other bed and sets Mushroom down.
Sean: Don't start pouting! C'mon!
Daniel: I'm not...
Note: As soon as Sean steps into and out of the washroom or the balcony, Daniel will move to the other bed, along with Mushroom, and turn on the television.
Daniel: Uhhh... Is it all right if I sit in your bed to watch TV? I swear, I'll sleep in mine after!
Sean: Yeaah, okay. But don't try and trick me!
(Daniel wins the second game)
Daniel: I won! (laughs, running around) The bed is mine! I knew I'd beat you! See?
Sean: And I knew you'd brag about it...
Daniel: Don't be salty! It's a fair win!
Sean: Yeah, it is. I surrender.
Daniel gets on the bed, sets Mushroom down in front of him, and turns on the TV.
A deal's a deal.
Sean: Hey! A deal's a deal! Sorry, little bro. You gotta accept it.
Daniel: Aww... okay...
Daniel reluctantly gets on the other bed and sets Mushroom down.
Sean: Don't start pouting! C'mon!
Daniel: I'm not...
Note: As soon as Sean steps into and out of the washroom or the balcony, Daniel will move to the other bed, along with Mushroom, and turn on the television.
Daniel: Uhhh... Is it all right if I sit in your bed to watch TV? I swear, I'll sleep in mine after!
Sean: Yeaah, okay. But don't try and trick me!
(Sean doesn't choose an option)
Daniel: Hey! Time out!
Sean: Sorry, dude.
Daniel: Come on, you need to pick something!
Game 2:
Daniel: Awww...
Sean: Damn, I'm too slow!
Daniel: You're no fun!
Sean: Sorry, I wasn't focused.
Game 3:
Daniel: Come on, you need to pick something! (he pushes Sean)
Sean: Sorry, dude.
Game 4:
Daniel pushes Sean.
Daniel: Fine, if you don't wanna play, I'll take the bed!
Sean: Yeah, okay, go ahead.
Daniel: Thanks...[1]
Daniel gets on the bed, sets Mushroom down in front of him, and turns on the TV.
(Tie)
Daniel: Oh... tie...
Sean: Awww! Come on!
Game 2:
Sean: Again? Man... Great minds think alike... sooo re-match!
Game 3:
Sean: What? No way...
Daniel: Do over![2]
Note: if you continue to tie, the dialogue will loop until someone wins or until Sean times out on four occasions.
Sean: All right. I'm gonna run a bath. We totally reek.
Daniel: Especially you! "Pig-pen"!
Sean: I wouldn't be so sure, cave boy. I'll call you when it's ready.
Daniel: I'll be right here!
Sean: Course you will...
Daniel: Oh cool! HAWT DAWG MAN IS ON! Ooooo, I remember this episode! Weird it's on so late...
Sean can have a moment of calm on the balcony.
Sean (inner monologue): It's nice out here... Wish I cared. Puerto Lobos, Mexico... Can I get us this far? And safe? How can we get there without money... And Daniel still doesn't know what really happened... How the fuck am I gonna tell him...? Me and Daniel just... have to take it one step at a time...
(High Theft (≥ 3))
A high theft score means that your actions have ingrained stealing in Daniel's mind, and he will place a hula girl car accessory on the bedside cabinet.
- Each minor theft or Daniel's distraction at the gas station raises the score by 1 point.
- Violently taking the camping gear automatically raises the score by 3 points.If Sean looks at the toy:
Sean (inner monologue): Mhhhh... Where did Daniel get this?
Question
Sean picks it up and holds it in front of Daniel.
Sean: What's that?
Daniel: Uh... It was in Brody's car.
Sean: (harsh tone) He gave it to you?
Daniel: (caught off guard) Uhhh... Well... Yeah!
Sean: (bewildered) You stole it from him?
Daniel: I dunno... It looked cool and... You stole before, so I thought...
Stealing is bad.
Sean: No, man... Stealing is bad. We only do it if... we really need it. Okay? Plus... Brody was super nice with us...
Daniel: If it's bad, then... why did YOU do it?
Sean: Hey! We had to. It was different! I don't want you stealing around, understand?
Sean places the Hula girl in his pocket and it is added to your inventory.
Daniel: (looking down) Yeah. Okay...
Daniel will learn not to steal in the future.
Should be careful.
Sean: Man... yeah, yeah, okay... I see what you did... But you should be careful.
Sean places the figurine back on the cabinet.
Daniel: I know, I know. Don't worry. Nobody saw me, right?
Sean: (smirks) Right...
Daniel will continue to steal in the future.
If Sean looks at the toy:
Sean (inner monologue): (sarcastically) Great role model, Sean...
(Ignore)
If Sean doesn't question Daniel about the toy, he will miss the last opportunity to influence Daniel regarding theft. Therefore, Daniel will automatically continue to steal in the future.
(Low Theft (< 3))
A low theft score means that Daniel will not have taken the hula girl accessory from Brody's car. He will also not steal by default.
(Daniel got a Power Bear)
The Power Bear toy is lying on the bedside cabinet.
Sean (inner monologue): It's cool we got him something.
The toy begins to play pre-recorded sound clips of an actor proudly shouting the character's catchphrases.
Power Bear (over a tiny speaker): NO ONE CAN DEFEAT JUSTICE!
Daniel: Awesome!
...
Power Bear (over a tiny speaker): BEWARE THE WRATH OF POWER BEAR!
Daniel: (imitating Power Bear's voice) Beware the wrath of Power Bear!
...
Power Bear (over a tiny speaker): OUR TEAM IS GOING TO WIN EVERY BATTLE!
Daniel: You tell'em, Power Bear!
Sean: Hey, Power Bear! Keep it down. Please.
Sean (inner monologue): If I knew this bastard was so loud...
Watching the Hawt Dawg Man show with Daniel
Daniel: This episode is awesome. You should sit down and watch it with me!
Watch TV together
Daniel makes room for Sean on the bed.
Sean: So... What's up?
Daniel: The Buns want to catch Hawt Dawg Man... and turn him into sausage meat!
Sean: Oh yeah! The Giant Meatball attacks in the next episode, right?
Daniel: Yes! And they get to meet the city Mayo!
Sean: Man, it's been ages...
Daniel: Why don't you watch Hawt Dawg Man with me anymore?
Sean: I'm too old, dude... And I've seen it so many times.
Daniel: Okay, grandpa Sean! Feels so good to sit down and watch TV.
Sean: True.
The camera begins to show different angles. After a few rotations, Sean looks at Daniel.
Tickle (Daniel)
Sean: Watch out for grandpa Sean!
Sean tickles Daniel, the latter lies down, laughing.
Daniel: Stop! Sean! No!
Sean stops and Daniel gets back up, playfully nudging his brother.
Daniel: (giggles) Come on!
Sean: (smiling) Next time you'll respect the old man!
The camera keeps showing different angles until Sean decides to get up.
Sean: Okay. I'm done here.
Daniel: You're missing the best part!
Sean: I know.
(Haven't started filling the bathtub yet)
Sean: But I gotta take care of the bath. Don't forget, you're up soon!
Daniel: I know!
Asking Daniel to lower the TV volume
Sean: Hey, can you turn that down please?
Daniel: (reluctantly) Awww! Okay, okay.
Daniel grabs the remote and does as he is told. The TV will not be as loud from now on.
Putting towels in the bathroom for Daniel
Sean can pick up the towels from the bed and take them to the bathroom.
Sean (inner monologue): Let's put this in the bathroom for Prince Daniel.
Sean hangs the towels on the towel rail in the bathroom.
Sean: Daniel! You have towels in the bathroom. Don't forget to use them!
Daniel: Yeah, yeah...
Cleaning up in the bathroom
Sean can use the bathroom sink to wash his face.
(Got kicked in the face by Hank)
Sean (inner monologue): Damn! That fucking redneck hit me hard...
(Didn't steal the camping gear)
Sean (inner monologue): Turn the other cheek, they said...
(Stole the camping gear)
Sean (inner monologue): I hit him harder, though.
(Avoided getting injured)
Sean (inner monologue): Dude... you really look like shit.
Sean starts to fill the bath.
Sean (inner monologue): Fill'er up.
Adding soap to the bath
Sean can pour the soap into the bath to make bubbles.
(Add soap in time)
Sean (inner monologue): Daniel will love this.
The bubbles successfully start to form.
(Add soap too late)
Note: This occurs if you try to add soap when the bathtub is already filled with water.
Sean (inner monologue): Shit, too late to make any bubbles.
Sean tries his best to make the soap work, but to no avail; he lets it go.
Other thoughts and comments:
Daniel: It's kinda cool to have your bag now...
(Packed a condom in Seattle)
Daniel: Yuk, Sean! There's a condom in my bag... Gross!
Sean: Hey! Don't touch that!
Sean (inner monologue): I'll throw him in the bath if he won't go... Daniel will love it once he's in the water...
Once the bath is ready, Sean can choose from where he wants to let Daniel know:
Call to bath (from the bathroom)
Sean calls Daniel from the bathroom.
Sean: HEY, DANIEL, BATH'S READY!
Daniel: What?! Already? Can I finish this episode first?
Sean: No, man. You smell so bad, there's no time to lose.
Daniel turns the TV off, picks Mushroom up and walks towards the bathroom.
Daniel: Hey, you smell, too!
Send to bath (in the TV room)
Sean comes up to Daniel.
Sean: (claps) You ready?
Daniel: Aw, the episode's almost finished!
Sean: Nice try. The water is hot. Come on!
Daniel: Yeah, okay, I'm going...
Daniel turns the TV off, picks Mushroom up and walks towards the bathroom.
(Added soap successfully)
Daniel: Oh my God... Whoa! So many bubbles!
Sean: Try and keep them in the bathtub.
Daniel: I will! Promise! Thanks!
Sean: And no, the dog is not taking a bath with you!
Daniel: Okay, okay! Don't worry.
(Ignored the soap/Added it too late)
Daniel: Looks warm... Why didn't you use soap to make bubbles?
Sean: Sorry man, I... forgot to. Use as much soap as you want. It's free!
Daniel: Ohhh... everything? Cool!
Sean: Yeah. Clean up good. But leave some for me, bro...
Daniel closes himself in the bathroom with Mushroom.
Sean (inner monologue): I should throw my phone away while Daniel is washing. He'd freak out if he saw me.
Sean can choose to check in on Daniel as he takes a bath.
Sean: Hey, dude! Everything okay in there?
Daniel: Of course! Mushroom loves it!
Sean: Be careful she doesn't eat any soap!
Daniel: No, no... She's sitting by the tub. Right, Mushroom? Woof!
Sean picks up the charging phone.
Sean (inner monologue): Time to say goodbye to modern life...
Scene 3 - On the Balcony[]
Sean goes outside onto the balcony. He taps at the phone, it flashes with a bunch of messages from Lyla.
Sean (inner monologue): Shit! Lyla's freaking out. Maybe I should leave her out of this. Or she'll get into trouble too...
CALL LYLA BACK
Sean dials Lyla's number and waits.
Lyla: Sean?
Sean: Hey, Lyla...
Lyla: Sean, is that you? Do you-- Sean! Oh God... Are you okay?
Sean: I guess... I'm... I'm in a motel... with Daniel...
Lyla: Shit! Everyone's looking for you here...
Are you okay?
Sean: How about you? Are you okay?
Lyla: No. Everything's fucked up. I'm so worried about you... The cops are talking to everybody at school...
I didn't do anything!
Sean: Fuck... I didn't do anything...!
Lyla: I know... God, this is so messed up... The cops are talking to everybody at school...
Sean: This is a nightmare... We're fucked!
Lyla: Sean, don't say that! It will be okay... I miss you so much... Maybe you could come back?
Wish I could...
Sean: You know I wish I could, but... We can't take that risk! They're gonna put me in juvy! And Daniel...
Lyla: Bullshit! You're innocent. And I've got your back. No matter what.
Sean: No way! I'm not gonna let you get in trouble for me.
Hell no!
Sean: Hell no! The cops will throw my ass into jail... then what happens to Daniel?
Lyla: Stop it! Nothing will happen... We can... start a GoFundMe. Get you a lawyer.
Sean: You know it's not that easy! There's nothing we can do!
Lyla: Stop acting like I'm never gonna see you again... That's bullshit...
I'm sorry.
Sean: I'm sorry! I totally hate this...
(Said "Always be friends." in Seattle)
Sean: I guess... the freakin' fighters are disbanded for a while.
(Said "No es posible." in Seattle)
Sean: There won't be any dirty Mexican and Asian chick gathering for a while.
Lyla: Shit actually changes, I guess... So? Where are you going?
Sean: Uh... We're just going... away... for now. I'll call you if I get a chance... I miss you, Lyla.
Lyla: Sean, wait!
That's how it is.
Sean: That's how it is, Lyla. I'm not enjoying this either. But there's no other way...
(Said "Always be friends." in Seattle)
Lyla: What about the best freakin' fighters forever? Is that over?
(Said "No es posible." in Seattle)
Lyla: I thought the dirty Mexican and Asian chick's story would last forever...
Sean: I'm sorry, Lyla. Shit changes. I gotta go...
Lyla: Sean--
Sean hangs up the phone and sits down on the chair.
DON'T CALL LYLA
Sean shakes his head and sits down on the chair.
He plays a video clip on his phone, throughout the scene we only hear the audio while watching Sean. You have the option to throw the phone at any time.
Sean (over the speaker): Okay! Wait... Okay, okay... And... ACTION!
Esteban (over the speaker): Daniel! Get your butt in here right now!
Daniel (over the speaker): What? What did I do?
Esteban (over the speaker): You forgot to open this present!
Daniel (over the speaker): What is this? Socks... Underwear... That's it?
Esteban (over the speaker): Yeah, pretty cool, huh? That's what I got when I was a kid...
Daniel (over the speaker): Not funny...
Sean (over the speaker): (laughing) Yeah it is! Dude! Check out your face!
Sean covers his face with one hand, beginning to tear up, he wipes it away.
Daniel (over the speaker): What, what... Look! There's another one here! What is it...?
Esteban (over the speaker): Daniel... let me help... Looks bigger than underwear...
Sean continues to watch the video.
Daniel (over the speaker): Ooooh, what? No way! Can't believe it! The new... PlayBox! Thank you Santa!
Esteban (over the speaker): Hey, don't look at me... You were a good boy this year...
Sean (over the speaker): Yeah. Lucky boy.
Esteban (over the speaker): Daniel. This is for the whole family too, right? So you gotta share... With me! I want to play that game where you steal cars and go on high speed pursuit...
Sean (over the speaker): Dad, you totally suck at games...
Esteban (over the speaker): Oh yeah, track star? I was the dodge-ball champ of my high school... So duck!
Sean (over the speaker): Ow! No fair!
Daniel (over the speaker): You guys, don't crush the PlayBox! Hey! Let's set it up! Dad, come on! Ow! Okay. My ball now! Watch out!
Sean is now visibly tearing up.
Esteban (over the speaker): Merry Christmas, kids...
The video ends, Esteban is on the screen wearing a Christmas jumper, Daniel is holding the PlayBox, and Christmas decorations are in the background. If you have not already done so, you throw the phone.
Sean throws the phone towards the beach. Music from the TV starts playing from inside. Daniel is rocking out on the bed.
Sean (inner monologue): Whew, okay... Don't think about it. Just tell Daniel the truth...
Scene 4 - Serious Talk[]
Sean walks inside to Daniel playing the air guitar while jumping up and down to a song playing on the television. If Sean bought the shirt from the gas station, Daniel will be wearing it.
Sean: Are you kidding me?
Daniel: Remember that song?! Come on! Dance!
Join.
Sean joins Daniel on the bed.
Sean: Oh man! We haven't played Guitar Fighter for years!
Daniel: You never beat my score!
Sean: You played on Easy Mode. I was on Hardcore, dude!
Daniel: You're so jealous! I'm the best guitar player!
Mushroom barks along happily as Sean and Daniel dance on the bed.
Sean eventually steps off the bed and turns off the TV.
Talk directly.
Sean: Man, I... I can't dance right now. My legs are thrashed. Sorry.
Sean grabs the remote and turns off the TV.
Daniel: (disappointed) You're no fun.
Sean: Daniel... Come here. We need to talk.
Daniel sits down on the bed.
Daniel: Can we get a drink first? I'm thirsty...
Sean: Right now?
Daniel: You said I could have a coke... or something...
Sean: Okay. I'll get you a soda. But when I come back... we're going to talk. Serious.
Daniel: Fine... What's the big deal?
Sean leaves to buy a soda from the vending machine. The lights on the landing begin to flicker. Sean pays the money.
Daniel (off-screen): DAD!
Sean: Daniel!
Sean runs back to the room. The lights are flickering and the scene is in chaos.
Sean: Oh fuck!
Daniel is standing with clenched fists in front of the TV, the screen glowing. The bed has been pushed to one side, and Mushroom is in the corner, cowering. The work desk and chair have tumbled over, stuff is flying around the room, and the lights are going haywire.
Sean: Oh my God... Daniel...?! What is happening?! Daniel, calm down!
Daniel looks back at Sean, tears and fury in his eyes. Mushroom is barking in fear. Stuff continues to fly around the room.
Daniel: YOU LIED! Dad! Our Dad is dead!
The TV is affected by the chaos but shows BREAKING NEWS: 2 DEAD IN SEATTLE INCIDENT with Esteban's face on the screen.
Daniel: WHY?
It was an accident!
Sean: It was an accident!
(Said "My fucking fault..." to Brody)
Sean: A cop fucked up and shot him! That's it.
(Said "It was the police..." to Brody)
Sean: I fucked up and a cop shot him!
Daniel: No! No! IT'S NOT TRUE!
Sean: I'm so sorry...
Calm down...
Sean: Calm down, Daniel! Let's just talk, please.
Daniel: You knew Dad was dead! YOU KNEW IT!
Daniel slams his fists down, and the force throws multiple things at Sean. A mug shatters against the wall, and a painting falls from the impact. Sean is pushed back.
I can't remember.
Sean: I can't remember...! Everything happened so fast!
Daniel: You knew Dad was dead! YOU KNEW IT!
Daniel slams his fists down, and the force throws multiple things at Sean. A mug shatters against the wall, and a painting falls from the impact. Sean is pushed back.
(Say nothing)
Daniel: Say something, YOU ASSHOLE!
Daniel slams his fists down, and the force throws multiple things at Sean. A mug shatters against the wall, and a painting falls from the impact. Sean is pushed back.
Sean: I...
Daniel: Why? (gesturing at the TV) Why did you LIE to me?!
I was scared...
Sean: I was scared, Daniel... I didn't know what to say...
Daniel: You... You should've told me!
Sean: I couldn't believe it either! I didn't mean to!
I wanted to protect you.
Sean: I just wanted to protect you until I could-
Daniel: Protect me from what? You?!
A loud tearing of fabric can be heard. Sean is pushed back.
Sean: Daniel, I...
(Say nothing)
Daniel: ANSWER ME!
A loud tearing of fabric can be heard. Sean is pushed back.
Sean: Daniel, I...
(Said "It was an accident!" and "I was scared...")
Daniel: It's not fair...!
Sean manages to get close and tightly embrace Daniel, the latter not opposing too much.
Sean: Hey! Come on... I'm here. It's okay...
They both fall to their knees, still embraced.
Daniel: No it's not...
(Said something else/Stayed quiet)
Daniel: I HATE YOU!
The closet door bursts open and the contents fly out.
Daniel: (crying openly) You're not my brother!
Don't say that.
Sean: Don't say that... I know I messed up everything. (attempting to step closer) We're gonna get through this...
Chill out.
Sean: Daniel, chill out, okay?
Daniel: Get away from me! I hate you...
Sean: (attempting to step closer) Shhh... Shhh...
Daniel: (shoving Sean back) Don't touch me!
Sean reaches forward and hugs Daniel.
Sean: Daniel! Please!
Daniel tries to get away, but Sean pulls him in again.
Daniel: No...!
Sean: Shhh... It's okay...
They both fall to their knees, still embraced.
Daniel's outburst is over. Everything falls to the floor, and the lights stop flickering. Mushroom steps forward, calming down. Daniel cries in Sean's arms.
Daniel: I want Dad...
Sean: (crying) Me too...
The two of them look around.
Daniel: You told me we were gonna see Dad...
Sean: I'm sorry... I just...
Daniel: Just don't lie to me ever again... Ever.
I promise.
Sean: I promise. I won't lie to you again. I promise.
Daniel: I'm serious, Sean...
Sean: I know... Me too, Daniel...
I'll try...
Sean: I'll try, Daniel. But... I need to protect you now. At any cost.
Daniel: I don't care! I'm not a baby. You don't need to protect me!
Sean: Yes, I do. It's just you and me now... And I won't fail you.
Daniel: (putting one hand on Sean's sleeve) What are we gonna do without him?
Sean: (pulling Daniel closer) Sssshhhh... It's gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay.
The scene cuts to black.
Long Road Ahead[]
The scene starts in darkness. The track Night Bus begins to play.
Daniel: Sean... Am I... a monster?
A road illuminates into view, a bus can then be seen driving along the road.
Sean: Nothing is wrong with you. You're... Different.
The camera switches to show Daniel and Sean are riding inside, on the mostly empty bus. Depending on Sean's actions at the gas station, Daniel will be wearing either his regular red shirt, the white shirt Sean could have bought, or the raccoon hoodie Sean could have stolen.
Daniel: (sighs) Okay. What are we gonna do, now?
Sean: I was thinking... Maybe we could go to Puerto Lobos. Where Dad grew up, you know...
Daniel: Yeah... I guess...
Sean: It'll be fine, Daniel. There's nothing we can't do... as long as we're together.
Daniel: Can you tell me a story? Like he did?
Sean nods, Daniel wraps Sean's arm over his shoulder.
Sean: I'm not as good as him... He used to tell me bedtime stories, too...
Sean begins to tell his story.
Sean: Once upon a time... In a wild... wild world... there were two wolf brothers... living in their home lair with their papa wolf... They all lived happily together... but... but one day, hunters took their Dad away. Forever... So now the brothers were alone... and they had to find a new home... They started a journey through the great big forest...
Sean's voice fades out as he continues his story. The bus continues its journey along the coast.
Eventually, the two of them fall asleep side by side.
Fade to black.
To be continued...
Post Credits[]
Pitch-black.
Sean: Alright. Come on, man. Focus.
The scene fades in, a snowy winter forest, a hilly landscape. The camera is slowly moving down to ground level.
Daniel: (takes a breath) Okay...
Sean: Trust me. You can do it.
There is a singular snow-covered rock on the ground in front of you. A quiet rumbling noise, and then the rock shakes, rising in the air. It remains suspended a few inches off the ground as a new, strange background noise can be heard getting louder.
Cut to black, silence.
