      INT. STOKERS' UPSTAIRS - CONTINUOUS

      Charlie, standing at the bathroom sink, suddenly a loud
      pounding on the door, Charlie's caught by surprise, taking
      his pills.

                          CHARLIE
                     (Miffed)
                Just a minute!

      Stuffs the pill bottle into back pocket, exits bathroom,
      second loud pounding on door, pisses him off.

                          CHARLIE
                For fuck sakes!  Hold on!

      Charlie opens the door, Boston pushes his way past, stands
      threateningly in middle of the room, Boston's enraged.

                          BOSTON
                You fuckin' lied!

      Charlie's concerned, confused, in pain.

                          CHARLIE
                About what?

      Charlie's hand still on open door.

                          BOSTON
                You're gay!

      Charlie takes deep breath, slowly shuts the door.

                          CHARLIE
                Yes.  But I never lied.

                          BOSTON
                Bullshit!

      Boston throws backpack to the floor!

                          BOSTON
                You've been fucking with my head.

                          CHARLIE
                No! I haven't!

      Boston begins sobbing.

                          BOSTON
                I believed in you. I trusted you.

      He taps his finger on Charlie's chest.

                          BOSTON (CONT'D)
                But you had it all figured out, right
                from the start, didn't you!

      Charlie shakes his head no, before he can speak.

                          BOSTON (CONT'D)
                I'm broken! Right?!  An easy mark.
                Just get your hooks into me, then...

                          CHARLIE
                Don't do this!

      Boston becomes aggressive.

                          BOSTON
                Why not Charlie?  All the fun gone
                now?  Hey, you want me? Here! You can
                have me.

      Boston walks towards him, undoing his belt, Charlie backed up
      to door.

                          CHARLIE
                Stop it!

                          BOSTON
                Why?! It's your big chance old man!
                Go for it!

      Boston lunges forward, grabs Charlie's forcefully kissing him
      on lips. Charlie pushes back, breaks free.

                          CHARLIE
                Enough!

      Boston steps back, Charlie is overwhelmed.

                          CHARLIE
                You've got it all wrong!

                          BOSTON
                No way! You had tons of chances to
                tell me.

                          CHARLIE
                Yes, but...

                          BOSTON
                But you just kept lying!

      Boston thrashes back and forth.

                          BOSTON (CONT'D)
                Telling me anything I wanted to hear,
                anything to get closer to me!

      Boston breaks emotionally.

                          BOSTON (CONT'D)
                And you know what Charlie?
                     (Sobbing)
                It worked.

      Charlie shakes his head no, confused, can't fathom what's
      happening.

                          CHARLIE
                It wasn't supposed to be like this.

      Charlie reaches out to embrace him.

                          BOSTON
                No! You had your chance.

                          CHARLIE
                Boston! I do love you!

                          BOSTON
                Fuck off!  It's all been about you,
                not us.

                          CHARLIE
                For Christ's sake, listen to me!

                          BOSTON
                No, I get it now Charlie.

                          BOSTON
                Look at us!  What a pathetic pair.
                You playing at the Dad I always
                wanted...
                     (Beat)
                ... and me falling for it!

      Boston grabs his backpack and runs out.

                          CHARLIE
                Boston.

      Charlie exits after him into the stairwell.

                          CHARLIE (O.S.) (CONT'D)
                BOSTON!

      Charlie re-enters, slams the door, overturns coffee table,
      knocks over the lamp, staggers to bed, sits, reaches for
      pills, takes a couple, drops the bottle, pills spill on
      floor, tries to calm himself, confused, a moment, reaches for
      his cell, punches speed dial, waiting, Harriet answers.

                          HARRIET (O.S.)
                Charlie?

                          CHARLIE
                I fucked up! You were right. I need
                your help! Please. I...

                          HARRIET (O.S.)
                Charlie! Slow down. What happened?

                          CHARLIE
                I don't know! Boston ran off. Very
                fucked up. I need you to make it
                right!

                          HARRIET (O.S.)
                Hold on. Where are you?

                          CHARLIE
                The flat. Stokers.

                          HARRIET (O.S.)
                Stay where you. Try to calm down. I
                can be there in an hour.

                          CHARLIE
                OK!

      Boston throws cell into chair opposite. He sits head in
      hands, trying to compose himself.

      EXT. CHILDRENS' PLAYGROUND - LATER

      MUSIC OVER: - "TBD" written by Dan atStarLite

      An elevated childrens' play fort, dimly lit by overhead park
      light. Between the pickets of fort's wall, Boston sitting,
      knees pulled towards chest, his cheek turned resting on his
      backpack on knee, his eyes closed, rocking gently back and
      forth.
