INT. MOVIE THEATER - LATER
Kalliope and Travis sit watching a movie, the adaptation of Travis's book. Travis looks very uncomfortable, constantly shifting and looking at Kalliope.
KALLIOPE
Will you stop moving?
TRAVIS
Sorry. It's just weird.
KALLIOPE
Seeing your work on screen?
TRAVIS
I thought I successfully avoided this. I don't know how screen writer's do it.
KALLIOPE
Well you didn't count on the Film Forum, now did you? Now sh, I want to see how they butchered the train scene.
Travis shifts some more.
TRAVIS
You want some popcorn? A soda?
He stands up and Kalliope grabs his shirt, and pulls him back down.
TRAVIS
(softly)
Ok then.
EXT. TRAIN STATION - NIGHT
Bailey and Hannah standing still, holding hands. Mid-fight, Hannah is crying hysterically.
HANNAH
Bailey, don't. Please. I cant. Please. Don't.
BAILEY
I just can't do this. I've been here before. I know how this story ends. I'm not going to-
HANNAH
Please.
BAILEY
Hannah, get on the train.
FX Hannah flicker's into an image of Megan.
MEGAN
Travis don't do this. You don't want to do this.
FX Megan flickers back into Hannah
HANNAH
Does your head still get cloudy?
INT. MOVIE THEATER - CONTINUOUS
TRAVIS
Does your head still get cloudy? What the hell is that?
EXT. TRAIN STATION - CONTINUOUS
BAILEY
Does my head still get cloudy? God Hannah, you ripped that straight out of a bad movie.
Bailey and Hannah laugh, their heads leaning on against one another. Hannah touches her face, and wipes her tears on Bailey's cheek. Just then, the train arrives.
FX Hannah flickers back into Megan again.
MEGAN
Is... Is this it?
BAILEY
I don't know.
Bailey puts Megan/Hannah on to the train.
BAILEY
I just need time to think. Ok?
MEGAN
I love you.
BAILEY
(softly)
Yeah.
INT. BAILEY'S CAR - MOMENTS LATER
Bailey looks at his cell phone, sees a picture of him and Hannah. He dials her number
MEGAN
I thought you wanted time to think.
BAILEY
Yeah, well... fuck I don't know. I just can't leave it like that. Where's the next train stop?
MEGAN
Yonkers.
BAILEY
I'll be there in fifteen minutes.
INT. MOVIE THEATER - CONTINUOUS
TRAVIS
What the hell is this?
KALLIOPE
They added a few scenes I guess.
TRAVIS
Where did they come up with it?
KALLIOPE
Sh, it's not that bad.
TRAVIS
(under his breath)
That's what happened.
KALLIOPE
What?
TRAVIS
Nothing.
Kalliope scoots closer to Travis, putting her head on his shoulder. Travis closes his eyes takes a deep breath, and he looks back down at Kalliope.
FX Kalliope flickers into Megan.
Travis jumps up, freaked out, and walks out of the theater.
