Winged Creatures2008

Anne Hagen:
God knows they were brave, Jimmy. Dad smiled down at me like he didn't have a care in the world. God wants you to be brave. You can be too. God can help you see into the hearts of everyone who fell, like I do. His witness, which you are too.

Jimmy Jaspersen:
[pointing the gun at her] So witness, but tell what you really saw! Tell it!

Doris Hagen:
[timidly approaching] Jimmy, this is dangerous. Whatever you two think you have to hide, it's not worse than...

Jimmy Jaspersen:
Tell it.

Doris Hagen:
Annie.

Anne Hagen:
[takes a shaky breath, beginning to cry] I saw Dad. And he smiled down and he told me not to be scared. He was so brave. And then... I was holding his hand, and he was holding mine... and then his Coke spilled.

Jimmy Jaspersen:
No!

Anne Hagen:
[seemingly composing herself] Then there were more shots, and the alarm went off.

Jimmy Jaspersen:
No, remember it! [starts to cry] You go on and I will!

Doris Hagen:
Jimmy, please. This is enough.

Jimmy Jaspersen:
[ignoring Doris] Tell it.

Anne Hagen:
[seriously beginning to get upset] He did... he did...

Jimmy Jaspersen:
Nothing! [Anne closes her eyes and there is a flashback scene of what really happened] [then it goes back to them, and Jimmy and Anne are both crying]

Doris Hagen:
Jimmy, give me the gun. [Doris walks over warily, and slowly prys the gun from out of Jimmy's hand, but he's so upset and crying so hard that he simply lets the gun go] Okay. Just give me the gun. Here we go. [Doris takes the gun from Jimmy and then puts her hand on his face briefly to comfort him]

Anne Hagen:
[crying] I just sat there. I just sat there while... while that man shot Dad and I... didn't do anything. [Jimmy watches her cry, looking even more upset at this sight] I didn't hold his hand. I let go of his hand. I couldn't help it. He didn't die brave like I said at all, he was just scared and alone and... I didn't do anything, Mom. I'm sorry.

Doris Hagen:
No, it's okay.

Anne Hagen:
I can't ever forgive that man for what he did. I can't. Never.

Doris Hagen:
[Doris simply looks at her daughter and then at Jimmy, who is still crying heavily] Don't either of you. Ever.
