Subject: Task 12 Reading

Hi, guys!
This is a scene from one of my favorite movies, The Sixth Sense. I really like this scene, because it�s very touching, and it�s also when you understand clearly the character of Lynn, the mother of the little boy Cole, main character of the movie.
I hope you like it.
And if you still didn�t see this movie, please do it! It�s really great!

Marcelo

EXT. CAR - LATE AFTERNOON

A rain-soaked bridge. A two-lane road merges to one lane around
a severe car accident. A rear-ended car has jumped the sidewalk
and hit the guard rail of the bridge. The driver is helped out
by police. He's shaken but okay. Police flares guide the cars
as they crawl by. Lynn and Cole are standing still in bumper-to-bumper traffic.

COLE
Grandma says hi.

Lynn looks up sharply.

COLE
She says she's sorry for taking the
bumble bee pendant. She just likes
it a lot.

LYNN
What?

COLE
Grandma comes to visit me sometimes.

Lynn becomes still. Her face is unreadable. When she speaks, her words are extremely controlled.

LYNN
Cole, that's very wrong. Grandma's
gone. You know that.

COLE
I know.

Beat.

COLE
She wanted me to tell you--

LYNN
(soft)
Cole, please stop.

COLE
She wanted me to tell you, she saw
you dance.

Lynn's eyes lock on Cole's.

COLE
She said when you were little, you
and her had a fight right before
your dance recital. You thought
she didn't come to see you dance.
She did.

Lynn brings her hands to her mouth.

COLE
She hid in the back so you wouldn't
see... She said you were like an
angel.
Lynn begins to cry.

COLE
She said, you came to her where
they buried her. Asked her a
question... She said the answer is
"Everyday."

Lynn covers her face with her hands. The tears roll out through
her fingers.

COLE
(whispers)
What did you ask?

Beat. Lynn looks at her son. She barely gets the words out.

LYNN
(crying)
Do I make her proud?

Cole moves closer to Lynn. She cradles him in her arms. Mother
and son hold each other tight.
