JENNINGS It wasn’t like I was prepared to hear a confession that night. I was loaded myself. LAZARUS Where are we going to find Violet? JENNINGS I haven’t seen her since.
Russell turns to Theo.
RUSSELL Does that name mean anything? Violet? THEO ... yeah, it might.
INT. THEO’S APARTMENT - BEDROOM - DAY Theo enters, dog following him. He opens the closet door, from deep within he finds a box, pulls it out. As he leaves with it, he’s crushed to see half the hangers empty. He sits on the floor, opens the box. The mutt sidles over, sniffs the box. Whimpers a little. THEO Gettin’ a sense of pops in this old stuff, boy? Theo scratches the dog’s head while he rummages -- THEO (CONT’D) Yeah. Me too. Theo a couple old Filofax organizers. He then finds an official department photo of his dad, in dress blues. Staring straight at the camera. All business. Theo stares at the photo, memories and emotions flooding back. After a beat he sets the photo down and finds what he came here for: a journal labeled GRATITUDE. He flips it open. In his father’s handwriting he sees daily lists. Grateful to be sober. Grateful for Theo. He looks to a new list. They’re all similar. Slight variations or new names: Grateful for Roger K. Grateful for Peter M. A constant is Theo.
