COLE:
You haven't told bedtime stories before?
MALCOLM:
No.
COLE:
You have to add some twists and stuff. Maybe they run out of gas.
MALCOLM:
No gas... Hey, that's good. They sit in silence. Malcolm works on a new plot in his head.
COLE:
Tell me a story about why you're sad. Beat.
MALCOLM:
Do you think I'm sad? Cole nods, "Yes."
MALCOLM:
What makes you think that?
COLE:
Your eyes told me. Beat. Malcolm's affected by his client.
MALCOLM:
(rote) I'm not supposed to talk about stuff like that. Cole smiles softly. Malcolm stares at the tired child sitting before him in the hospital bed. Malcolm rolls his stool away from his client as he thinks. Beat. He slowly moves the rolling chair closer to Cole's bed.
MALCOLM:
...Once upon a time there was this person named Malcolm. He worked with children. Loved it more than anything. (smiles) Then one night, he finds out he made a mistake with one of them. Didn't help that one at all. He thinks about that one a lot. Can't forget. (beat) Ever since then, things have been different. He's become messed up. Confused. Angry. Not the same person he used to be. (beat) His wife doesn't like the person he's become. They don't speak anymore. They're like strangers.Malcolm breaks from his thoughts and looks at Cole who watches him with unwavering attention. Malcolm smiles.
MALCOLM:
And then one day this person Malcolm meets a wonderful boy who reminds him of that one. Reminds him a lot of that one. Malcolm decides to try to help this new boy. He thinks maybe if he can help this boy, it would be like helping that one too. Malcolm leans forward, whispers with emotional eyes.
MALCOLM:
I don't know how the story ends. I hope it's a happy ending.
COLE:
Me too. Cole looks at Malcolm's caring eyes. Cole stares at Malcolm a long time. EVERYTHING THAT'S SAID FROM THIS POINT ON IS WHISPERED.
COLE:
I want to tell you my secret now. Malcolm blinks very slowly.
MALCOLM:
Okay. Cole takes an eternal pause. A silent tension engulfs them both.
COLE:
...I see people. Malcolm just gazes quietly.
COLE:
I see dead people... Some of them scare me. Beat.
MALCOLM:
In your dreams? Cole shakes his head, "No."
MALCOLM:
When you're awake? Cole nods, "Yes."
MALCOLM:
Dead people, like in graves and coffins?
COLE:
No, walking around, like regular people... They can't see each other. Some of them don't know they're dead.
MALCOLM:
They don't know they're dead? Beat.
COLE:
I see ghosts. Malcolm becomes completely motionless. Works to hide his shock. He and Cole stare at each other a long time.
COLE:
They tell me stories... Things that happened to them... Things that happened to people they know. Beat. Malcolm's words are extra-controlled. Revealing nothing.
MALCOLM:
How often do you see them?
