The Brown Recluse by Erik Fair Lyrics
At this point, The Boy’s perception of time slows down immensely
D2: (frantically) WHO DID YOU CALL?!
The Boy looks at Dude 2, not at him though. He can see inside of him. He sees his soul, all of his fear and confusion swirling around violently inside of him
TB: (nonchalantly) you’ve had my phone
D2: It must be other dealers, who did you piss off!!!!???
The Boy stops looking through Dude 2 and feels something he can’t describe; we call this feeling “urgency”
TB: What did you call me?
D2: What are you talking about, man?
The Boy’s heart starts beating rapidly
TB: You just said it again…
D2: I just called you “man”
TB: I’m not
D2: I mean…sure you are, how old are you?
TB: 30
D2: Alright, what’s your name in case we don’t make it out alive?
TB: (no-face emoji)
D2: I’m Brian! What’s your fucking name?!
TB: I’m not man.… I don’t have a name
Brian starts looking through The Boy, he starts seeing something he can’t believe
Brian: I can see you…. you’re sitting on a bus
The Boy (sitting on a couch with his legs crossed) feels his heart rate slow and closes his eyes. When he opens them, he is back on the bus
TB: Destiny
Brian: Huh?
TB: Getting off of this bus is my destiny
He suddenly stands up, starts walking towards the door, feeling less childish with each step
The Boy gets to the door, slowly turns the handle and opens it but before he walks out, he stops and turns to see a petrified Brian
TB: Can I have my phone back?
Brian: Y-you su-su-sure man?
TB: (snatches the phone like a man) It’s Donald
Donald walks out and feels himself getting off of the bus. Two guys get into a truck and speed off; one of them shouts something at Dude 1’s dead body about fucking the wrong nigga’s bitch. They don’t notice Donald standing outside texting
Donald to Naomi: meet me at the mansion, I’ll make ossobuco and we can talk
Naomi to Donald: Making dinner for me huh? Tryna be my man or something?
Donald to Naomi: Maybe (winking face emoji)
Donald notices he left his coat inside but sees a red hoodie in the street. He throws it on and starts skipping jubilantly to the mansion
Freaks and Geeks starts playing, credits roll
