Sono passati 4 anni da quella che per noi Skater è senza dubbio LA puntata!! Ne approfitto per pubblicare anche le ultime parti dello script e per celebrare le scene clou.. a prescindere dai gusti e da come poi sono andate le cose, a mio parere queste rimangono scene memorabili, oltre che ben scritte e ottimamente recitate!!! In memeoria dei cari vecchi tempi!! Che nostalgia ragazzi!!!
SAWYER: ‘cause I wanted you to think we had a damn chance
[BAM. there is it , A MOMENT
Sawyer going out on a ledge, telling her, in his own messed up way, that he was PROTECTING HER. and the head is too strong. they’re too close together. the chemistry both of them have been fighting officially COMBUST and KATE KISSES SAWYER. Long and Hard. finally it ends.
ON SAWYER, surprised.]
SAWYER: what the hell was that for ?
[And maybe it’s because she knows Pickett’s gonna make good on his promise and this is Sawyer’s last night on earth. Maybe it’s because he showed genuine FEELING. And maybe it’s because she really LOVES him. but all she actually SAYS is]
KATE: I…don’t know
[AND sawyer hell, HE KISSES HER RIGHT BACK, and it doesn’t end there as she STUMBLES INTO HIS CAGE
Before we know it, Sawyer’s grabbing Kate’s tank top and pulling it over her head as she starts unbuttoning his shirt. they move further into Sawyer’s cage, oblivious to everything but THIS MOMENT. And as they begin to go at it big time. they tastefully sink OUT OF FRAME. SO, ladies and gentlemen ? there it is.
Kate and Sawyer are officially GOING AT IT.]
Sawyer and Kate lie in each other’s arms basking in the afterglow of their lovemaking. Wow — that was pretty AMAZING
But what now ? and we can FEEL the uncertainty and the nervouness creeping in Kate’s expression as she looks at him. Maybe Sawyer senses it because he says
Sawyer So lemme ask you somethin” Freckles…When Blockhead was beatin’ on me, and you said “I love you” that was just to get him to stop right …?
Kate freezes. She isn’t sure what she should say here. In truth she’s feeling everything for Sawyer but is afraid if she admits it, puts it out there, it will scare him off. And Sawyer ? Before she can even respond—-
Sawyer I love you, too
But even he tosses it off like it’s not big deal—- it’s the most sincere thing he’s ever said in his entire life. Kate’s heart lifts. And for this one moment, in time, they are COMPLETELY CONNECTED THEY ARE COMPLETELY CONNECTED.
Ringrazio e credito di nuovo Lyly Ford. In questo post pubblico le due scene tra Kate e Juliet, in attesa delle scene cult per noi :)
JULIET AND KATE SCENE 1 :
Juliet I’d like you to put this on and come with me, please
ON KATE. though pretty SHAKEN, she’s not about to be intimidated.
Kate You think I’m gonna throw a hood over my own head because you said “please” ?
Juliet No, Kate. you’re gonna throw a hood over your own head because the man standing at the table over there, the one who’s burning a hole into my back right now ?
Kate’s eyes flick over Juliet’s shoulder and sure enough, THERE’S PICKETT. Burning a hole into Juliet’s back.
Juliet that man is going to kill sawyer.
ON KATE. juliet didn’t present it as a threat, just a simple regrettable fact. and now she EXTENDS THE HOOD AGAIN—
Juliet But if you put this on. and you come with me… (beat, quietly) there’s something you can do for us that will save his life.
Kate takes one final look over at—
Sawyer. Dropping another ROCK into his wheelbarrow. completely oblivious that nothing less than his LIFE has been offered as part of a BARGAIN thirty yards away…
and after a beat. Kate turns back to Juliet. and she takes the hood. and we ALMOST catch the tear sliding down her cheek as she puts the hood over her head.
JULIET AND KATE SCENE 2 :
kate backs at the cage
she immediately looks around for Sawyer. But his cage is empty. and now she’s worried. Juliet clocks her looking
Juliet you really care about him huh ?
It sound almost like ENVY in her voice but kate ain’t giving her nothing
kate where is he ?
she holds the cage door open. Kate steps into the cage and juliet CLANGS THE DOOR CLOSED. then coolly—
Juliet
I’m sorry you weren’t able to help us, Kate.
And although we know Juliet probably doesn’t mean that ONE BIT, SOUND FROM BEHIND THEM AS—
Pickett and Jason push SAWYER back from his day at the farm.
Copio direttamente, senza cambiare una virgola, dal sito di Lyly Ford, la fortunata skater in possesso del famigerato script. Quindi prima di tutto, la credito doverosamente e la ringrazio per aver pubblicato le parti più interessanti! Siccome non sono poche :) intanto comincio con le prime due, per concludere il tutto nei prossimi post.. che seguiranno a breve, promesso :)
DELETED SCENE BETWEEN SAWYER, KATE AD ALEX
KATE’s EYES POP OPEN.
She rolls over, orienting herself….pershaps thinking that she’s not still trapped in a cage wearing the same clothes and smelling like a weatsock. But alas…SHE IS. CHLINK! Kate GLANCES accross from her CAGE over to—
AUTOMATED VOICE WARNING
SAWYER’S. And there he sits. A PILE OF SMALL ROCKS to his side. He picks up a rock, sidearms it at the FORK & KNIFE BUTTON on the GIZMO accross his cage and —- CHLINK
Kate Hey
Sawyer Hey yourself.
Kate what are you doing ?
Sawyer Throwin’ rocks.
Kate I thought you had to pull the lever—
Sawyer —I know how to get a damn fish biscuit.
Kate sense something in his tone. Hee’s not annoyed — no…it’s more like he’s just…OVER IT. and Kate ? Hops up.
Kate then get me one.
Sawyer (rolls his eyes) what ? you tryin’ to keep me feelin’ productive ?
and Kate ? she doesn’t appreciate that one bit. Kneels down, rubs some DIRT on her hands… and a moment later, she’s CLIMBING UP THE SIDE OF HER CAGE. and we know from #304 that she’s capable of squeezing out the top.
Sawyer what the hell you think you’re doin’ ?
Kate Nothin. You just keep throwin’ your rocks.
Sawyer You ain’t comin’ over here—-
Kate Be quiet or you’re gonna make me fall.
She stops, gets her balance and reaches for the top rung, hoisting her body up in one swift move— Kate starts to SQUEEEEEEEEEEEZE through the bars at the top of her cage…
Sawyer Damnit Freckles —- stay put. It’s broad daylight. they see you climbin’ outta here…
And that is precisely when kate FREEZES. Because with her head poking through the top of her cage, she SEES SOMETHING.
THERE, DOWN THERE— THIRTY YARDS AWAY—- AT THE TREE LINE
is ALEX. SHe’s crouched down, digging into a CANVAS BAG
Kate HEY !
Alex STARTLES. Looks up, SURPRISED to see Kate at the top of her cage looking right at her. but a moment later — quite CALMLY— Alex holds her finger to her LIPS —- SHHHH
Sawyer, of course can’t see Alex at all.
Sawyer Who you talkin’ to
Kate Shhhhh
Sawyer DOn’t “shhhh” me ! you’re the one shoutin’ “HEY”!
Kate there ‘s a girl out there.
Sawyer What ?
And before Kate can open her mouth to tell him to shup up, she sees Alex removing whatever she was digging around in that bag for — which is, in fact…
A HARDCORE SLINGSHOT. Alex fixes the handmade BRACE to her forearm as she puts a BIG ROCK in the STRAP…
Kate’s eyes widen as Alex takes SIGHT…RIGHT AT HER. PULLS THE STRAP BACK. Kate SQUIRMS—-but she’s WEDGED between the bars, no way to duck, she’s DEAD IN ALEX’S SIGHTS AS…
THWUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNG! the strap SNAPS FORWARD and—-WHIIIIIIIIIIIIISH! — the ROCK TROTTLES THROUGH THE AIR—
ZIPS about TEN FEET OVER Kate’s head — and as we WHIP around to TRACK ITS MOTION, we’re there just in time to see—-
PING!! THere’s a LOUD METALLIC TWANG as the rock bangs off the HOUSING OF A HIDDEN SURVEILLANCE CAMERA
Kate reacts. And we may have know this for awhile now, but it’s news to Kate. They were beeing WATCHED.
Kate what are you doing ?!
Alex (duh?) i’m getting you out !
Meanwhile, she’s scrambling around trying to find ANOTHER ROCK but that’s when—
CROMP! Kate’s eyes INSTINCTIVELY GO TO THE COMPOUND BUILDING just as the DOOR OPENS— someone is COMING OUT— Kate looks back to where Alex was croushed…
But—-POOF—-She’s GONE.
SKATE SCENE WITH PICKETT (at the end we didn’t see them walking together too bad it wasn’t in the episode) :
Kate in her CAGE. at the BARS when a NOISE FROM THE TREE LINE brings her attention to—-PICKETT and TWO OTHERS (one of whom is named JASON) as they stride purposefully up to Kate’s cage. Pickett UNLOCKS the door—
Picket C’mon.Time for work
And Kate noticed only one LUNCH PAIL—-and nobody’s rousting Sawyer for work. in fact, Kate looks over Pickett’s shoulder at Sawyer’s CAGE where Sawyer LIES ON HIS BACK, SHIRT OFF. Sunning himself on top of the RAISED PART OF HIS ENCLOSURE.
Kate what about him ?
Pickett pastes on a SMILE that’s about as phony as a nine dollar bill.
Pickett he’s got the day off
and that doesn’t add up for Kate. Why would Pickett give Sawyer—the guy who busted his nose—the guy who he HATES— a day OFF? and so, DEFIANT—
Kate If he’s not working, neither am I.
The smile never leaves his face. and it’s CREEPY.
Pickett you’re not, huh ?
Sawyer just go, Freckles.
Kate looks over to Sawyer’s cage…something in his voice that she’s unfamiliar with. DEFEAT.
Sawyer Man wants to give me a day off, let him give me a day off.
Kate (resolved) No. we’re a team. you break the rocks. I haul ‘em.
and NOW the smile is gone from Pickett’s face. he takes MENACING step forward—
Pickett you might wanna stop acting like you got some say in the matter, Freckles
Other Danny—
Pickett (spins, intense) What, Jason ?
other/jason Not yet.
And Pickett? Processes. then shakes his head, WHATEVER as he walks over to Sawyer’s cage. UNLOCK IT—
Pickett all right…Fine. Lord knows I wouldn’t wanna break up the team.
But right before Pickett opens Sawyer’ss door, he throws him a look. A look that seems to say— I’m gonna do a lot worse than break up the team, buddy boy.
Pickett roughly pushes Sawyer out of his cage towards a waiting Kate. Moves off as he BARK at Jason
Pickett Take ‘em to the runway.
ON KATE AND SAWYER as Jason and the other DUDE begin to walk them towards the walkway—
Sawyer what the hell was that about ?
Kate it’s about me not letting you out of my sight
and OFF that declaration—and Sawyer HATING that she essentially just STUCK UP for him—
