PIECES OF ME - JULY 2020 42 .
ELI We live in a civilized society .
SOPHIE George Floyd thought so too .
( a beat ) At least wear this--
She walks to the cookie jar and pulls out Gordon ’ s mask .
SOPHIE ( CONT ' D ) This will give me a little peace of mind .
Eli inspects the mask - “ Sinner ” has been blacked out , but you can still see traces of white paint .
ELI You can ’ t be serious .
SOPHIE As a heart attack .
EXT . HOUSE - DAY
The front door opens and Eli exits , wearing the mask , sunglasses and a hat . Invisible Man chic .
He shuts the door and takes it all in : the birds , the breeze ... everything we take for granted .
EXT . MAIN STREET - LATER
Eli continues on , passing store fronts and onlookers . People point and whisper at his bizarre getup , but he ignores them - his eyes are focused on the world ahead of him . Not the past .
A group of TEENAGERS stop on their bikes , taking in the show .
Everyone laughs .
TEEN 1 Isn ’ t that the guy from the news ?
TEEN 2 Yeah ... Mother fucker looked like the guy from “ Goonies .” Ya know , “ Hey you guys !?!?!”
TEEN 3 Killer impression of Sloth .
