MM: THE FINALE

Meanwhile in Torrance's Room...

 

Oh Torrance, I've just been so lonely the whole time here. And you... well you've been the only one who's been nice to me, and who hasn't had me at the top of their list of suspects.

Hold me.

 

Ah Eddie, dear sweet Eddie.

You know you're much more a man that any other guy here. I wish I had of known this side of you in school. We could've made beautiful music together...

still, there's no time like the present...

//looks deep into Eddie's eyes

//touches his jaw lightly

 

//Pulls Torrance close

//Kisses her deeply

I'm in love with you Torrance. I... I always have been really, ever since high school, I...

//Stops mid-sentence and kisses her again, clumsily trying to take off her clothes

 

//kisses Eddie back

//starts unbuttoning his shirt

I should've done this a long time ago. Let's make this night special.

 

It already is.

But we can make it even better.

//opens the door, walks in

Good day, lovebirds. Having fun?

 

Noel?! You can't just burst in like that on someone! What are you doing?

 

Yeah, what the hell?!

 

Surprised to see me? I'm surprised.

I've been watching you two with the -- well, eye of the tiger.

 

//Trying to cover up with a blanket

I have no idea what you're talking about Noel. Now get out of here, who the hell do you think you are?

 

From her room across the hall Crystal heards raised voices and runs to see what the comotion is all about. She murmers under her breath...

What are they fighting about now?

 

You know who I am. You just haven't fully realized what I am. Eddie.

//walks to the window, looks outside

Hm. You just remind me of epic, Ed, the way you're staring at me now. He traded his passion for glory. Just a man and his will to survive.

But that he didn't, did he?

 

You're scaring me, Noel. Why don't you just leave. You're not wanted here.

 

*calmly walks down the hall, towards the source of the yelling... knowing exactly what awaits her*

 

Oh, but you don't have to be scared, honey.

//gently slaps her cheek

No. Not you.

//points at Eddie

But ah! He -- he should be scared.

 

I hear voices. I'm going crazy.

No wait! The voices are real! They're coming from down the hall ...

 

//Grins

Oh, I see... I see it all too clearly now. So it was YOU, and now I'm next, is that it? Alright Noel, let's go. You and me, and may the best man win.

 

Rising up to the challenge of your rival now, Eddie?

You're as hopeless as epic. And you look like Lando Calrissian.

But enough bourgeois fun, you miserable fool. Why do you think you deserve her? What in your stupid little rascal head makes you think YOU...

//points at Torrance

...deserve HER!

You shouldn't have come here, you worthless bastard. Goodbye. Have fun with epic.

//takes out Eddie's gun from his pocket

//click, click

What...

 

//screams

NOEL! NO!!

 

//Laughs

I took the bullets out you fool! I never meant to hurt anyone, I don't even know why I brought the damn thing.

Now let me put my pants on, and let's settle this like men!

 

//sighs

//lowers the gun

Never...mind.

//sits down on the bed

But you should thank me. At last you know who the killer is.

 

//Scrambles to get dressed

Giving up so easy Noel?

I suppose some one should call the police...

 

//stares at the ground

 

She hears Torrance scream and begins running to the room.

My god! What if the murderer is after her!

Reaches the room and throws the door open. Crystal sees Noel in the room with Eddie and Torrance in a compromising position

What...what is...

Falls into silence from shock when she sees the gun in Noel's hand.
