Donnie Darko (Script)

EXT. SEVENTH HOLE - NIGHT (1:30 A.M.)

Donnie arrives next to the pin and stares
off into the distance.

                  VOICE
         Helluva night for a walk... huh, Donnie?

Donnie stares off into the distance.

                  VOICE (cont'd)
         Tonight is very special, Donnie.

                  DONNIE
         What?

                  VOICE
         I've been watching you.
                (beat)
         Do you believe in God, Donnie?

Donnie doesn't answer. He holds his stomach,
taking deep breaths.

                  VOICE (cont'd)
         God loves his children, Donnie. God loves
         you.

There... standing on the seventh hole is a
six-foot-tall figure dressed in a grotesque
bunny suit.

Donnie stares at the Bunny nervously as a wave
of nausea overcomes him.

                 BUNNY
         My name is Frank.
               (beat)
         I want you to follow me.

                 DONNIE
         Why?

                 FRANK
         I'm here to save you.
                (beat)
         The world is coming to an end, Donnie.

Donnie doesn't answer.

                 FRANK (cont'd)
         Look up in the sky, Donnie.

He looks up into the black night.

                 FRANK (cont'd)
         28 days... 6 hours... 42 minutes... 12
         seconds. That is when the world will end.

Donnie looks back at Frank. His expression is a
vacant expanse of confusion.
