It’s Kind of a Funny Story by Anna Boden & Ryan Fleck Based on the novel by Ned Vizzini EXT. BROOKLYN STREET - NIGHT CRAIG GILNER (16, handsome, but awkward) glides on his bike toward the Brooklyn Bridge. He is the only one on the streets. A rhythmic beating heart is the only sound we hear. BADOOM BADOOM BADOOM The heartbeat increases in pace as Craig nears the bridge. EXT. BROOKLYN BRIDGE PEDESTRIAN PATH We float behind Craig as he approaches the bridge’s first tower. Craig is still the only person there. BADOOM BADOOM BADOOM He arrives at the tower, steps off his bike, and looks out over the East River. BADOOM BADOOM BADOOM He climbs up onto a steel girder. Walks to the edge, over the speeding traffic below, then out over the water. BADOOMBADOOMBADOOMBADOOM SILENCE... LYNN (O.S.) Craig!? Craig looks behind him to find his mother (LYNN, early 40s), father (GEORGE, mid 40s), and little sister (ALYSSA, 8) all standing by his bike. LYNN What were you planning to do with your bike, honey?! CRAIG I don’t care about my bike! I’m killing myself! GEORGE But we spent a lot of money on that bike, Sport! We only ask that you take care of it! ALYSSA Think of me, Craig! I might want that bike when I grow up! CRAIG I’m sorry, I just didn’t think-- LYNN That’s right, honey, you weren’t thinking of us when you decided to do this, were you? GEORGE Pretty selfish, I’d say. Have you thought about how this might affect your sister? ALYSSA
