JACOB
Fuck you Trace! What the fuck do you know. You've been here so long you don't even know what it means to live. You're fucking dead.
TC
You dumbass. This is life! (slaps his skin) This flesh, this heartbeat, that's life. Keeping this alive is what you have to worry about. Your fucking dreams. That's what makes you cry. You're hurting because you're only aware of what you can't have. Once you stop dreaming about it, it won't hurt anymore and you'll be so worried about keeping this alive you won't give a fuck about some fucking fantasy you saw in a fucking movie. Grow up kid, or your fucking "dreams" will eat you alive.
JACOB
You haven't gotten used to the walls Trace. They're just in your head now. And it's your fault for not breaking out of them. Those aren't prison walls Trace. Those are your walls!
TC
You dumb ass kid, I'll fucking teach you the way the world works. You don't know shit, but I'll teach you.
TC angrily grabs his keys and opens the cell door.
He slams it behind him and pulls out his nightstick.
JACOB
(Begins to whimper.)
Trace I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to.
TC then begins to beat Jacob. TC then begins to rape Jacob.
Jacob cries silently.
TC gets up. It looks as though Jacob is unconscious or asleep in his bed. TC gingerly gets up, dresses, and walks quietly out of the cell. He closes the cell door gently as to not wake Jacob. TC walks down the hall in complete silence.
JACOB then begins to SING, but the shot is still of TC walking away from his cell.
INT. OUTSIDE JACOB'S CELL - NIGHT
JACOB
(sings "Round Here" by the Counting Crows)
Step out the front door like a ghost into a fog where no one notices the contrast of white on white. And in between the moon and you the angels get a better view of the crumbling difference between wrong and right. As I walk in the air, between the rain, through myself and back again, where I don't know. Maria says she's dying, through the door I hear her crying. Why? I don't know. Round here we always stand up straight. Round here, something radiates…
(Jacob continues singing.)
As Jacob begins to sing, TC suddenly stops walking. After hesitating he begins to walk again.
The camera then becomes the projection of the voice, and as the voice begins to float through the prison the camera shot goes through the bars, through the walls, and eventually above the prison to where you can see TC getting into his car to drive home.
As TC is driving home, JACOB's voice is still noticeably in the background accompanying TC home.
EXT./INT. TC'S CAR/ROAD BACK TO TC'S HOME - NIGHT
JACOB
(still singing)
She says it's only in my head. She says, I know, it's only in my head. Well there's a girl in the car in the parking lot that says man you should try and take a shot. Can't you see my walls are crumbling. And she looks up at the building. She says she's thinking of jumping. She says she's tired of life. She must be tired of something. Round here. She's always on my mind. Round here we're never sent to bed early. Yeah nobody makes us wait. Round here we stay up very very very very very late. I can't see nothing. Nothing. Around here. Will you catch me if I'm falling. Catch me if I'm falling. Catch me cuz I'm falling down on you. I said I'm under the gun. Around here. I can't see nothing. Nothing. Around here.
