He slurps it down .
SOPHIE I have to ask . Why ’ d ya do it ? I thought you were making progress or was that just another lie ?
ELI No . I ’ m in a good place .
SOPHIE Then why , dad ?
He sighs and motions to the opposite side of the bed . Sophie steps around the frame and SCREAMS !
SOPHIE ( CONT ' D ) Oh dear god ! What the fuck did you do ?
ELI She wanted a suicide pact .
( a beat ) I didn ’ t ... You gotta believe me ...
SOPHIE So you killed her ?
ELI We heard banging and thought it was the cops .
SOPHIE Nope . Just pizza .
( a beat ) Why are you so concerned about the police ?
ELI There was this kid at the park .
SOPHIE That was you ? It ’ s all over the news .
ELI Mary carved him . I was just there .
