[A montage of Boos life as he hangs out with the wrong crowd, stabs his

father, people telling Boos parents that he is crazy and belongs in an

asylum. Ends with Radley family running into the house and slams the door.

While on the side, the current Boo sings acapella]

Boo Radley : Crazy by Gnarls Barkley

I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind

There was something so pleasant about that place.

Even your emotions had an echo

In so much space

And when you're out there

Without care, Yeah, I was out of touch

But it wasn't because I didn't know enough

I just knew too much

Does that make me crazy?

Possibly [radio version]

And I hope that you are having the time of your life

But think twice, that's my only advice

Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think

you are,

Ha ha ha bless your soul

You really think you're in control

Well, I think Im crazy

I think Im crazy

I think Im crazy

Probably

My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb

And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them

Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like

fun

And it's no coincidence I've come

And I can die when I'm done

Maybe I'm crazy

Maybe you're crazy

Maybe we're crazy

Probably

Uh, uh

Boo Radley: I am locked here.

I am chained here.

I am crazy.

Or not.

Im stuck here in this cage.

Unbreakable yet fragile chains hold me.

Though we all are held by something.

We all have walls

A restriction.

A boundary.

A rule.

It changes you. The crazy.

It holds you.

It protects you from the unbearable truth.

Thats reality. Kinda funny?

But what do I know?

Im crazy.

Though I see many things from where I stand.

But you may not see me.

Im always there.

The crazy.

[Lights fade in. Scout is walking home from school,annoyed about that the

teacher hates her. Boo Radley is glaring from the his house.]

Scout: [grumbling] That teacher hates me. Why do I even bother! I am already

smarter that the whole class. Why do I have to stand up with this! I am

never ever ever ever ever ever ever EVER going to school again!!![to

the tune of We Are Never Ever Getting Back to Together by Taylor

Swift] I am never ever ever going back to school!

OOOO!!! Gum!!!

[Scout pops them into her mouth and walks home with a smile on her face from

the tiny treasure she had found. At home, Jem and Dill are fooling around in

Atticus: [surprised] Well then. This is embarrassing. But, if I do catch you

children very slowly] A dosage of great bodily harm will be in your

futures.

[Walks back into the house cautiously making sure the children are being

good. As he closes the door he watches them. Then races to the window and

glowers at them. The children wave saying:]

Jim, Scout and Dill: [semi-giggle] Hi Atticus!!!

[Atticus walks away]

Scout: What now? Should we keep playing in secret?

Jem: Probably not Scout. Hey Dill wanna play cops-and-robbers?

Dill: Sure!

Scout: Oh. Ok. I have something . . .ohm . . . That . . . That is sooo much

more fun than cops-and-robbers.

[Spotlight on Jem and Dill playing without Scout and another on Scout

watching her best friends exclude her. Then she sing If I Were a Boy by Reba

McEntire]

Scout: If I were a boy

Even just for a day

I'd roll out of bed in the morning

And throw on what I wanted and go

Drink beer with the guys

And chase after girls

I'd kick it with who I wanted

And I'd never get confronted for it

Cause they stick up for me

If I were a boy

I think I could understand

How it feels to love a girl

I swear I'd be a better man

I'd listen to her

Cause I know how it hurts

When you lose the one you wanted

Cause he's taking you for granted

And everything you had got destroyed

If I were a boy

I would turn off my phone

Tell everyone it's broken

So they'd think that I was sleeping alone

LOCKED IN

8


9/69

I'd put myself first

And make the rules as I go

Cause I know that she'll be faithful,

Waiting for me to come home, to come home.

If I were a boy

I think I could understand


I swear I'd be a better man

I'd listen to her

Cause I know how it hurts

When you lose the one you wanted

Cause he's taking you for granted


It's a little too late for you to come back

Say it's just a mistake,

Think I'd forgive you like that

If you thought I would wait for you

You thought wrong

But you're just a boy

You don't understand

And you don't understand, ohhhh


Someday you wish you were a better man

You don't listen to her

You don't care how it hurts

Until you lose the one you wanted

Cause you're taking her for granted

well make some chocolate cake. Ok? Ok!?Ok? Ok? Ok? Ok!?!?!? OK?

Scout: Sure

[Ms. Maudie and Scout enter the Maudie household. Blackout]

[spotlight on Jem and Dill appears as they tip-toe towards Radley house with

a note]

Dill: [whispers] Do you think Boo will actually read this note and then

actually come and get some ice cream.

Jem: Errrr . . . I dont really know. But, its worth a shot.

[When close to a window, Jem uses a fishing pole to drop a note in a window

pane. Atticus then comes storming out yelling]

Atticus: [yelling] What do you imbeciles think your doing tormenting that

poor man? Hasnt that poor man suffered enough by the people of this god

forsaken town.

[Jem and Dill run towards Atticus]

Jem: Its just a note. We just wanted Boo to come out and get some ice cream

so we can see him. Please Atticus! Please!

Atticus: No. Its wrong. No stop playing that awful Boo Radley game and

leaving those pathetic notes. Dont make me ask you again!

[Atticus, Jem, Scout and Dill go inside their house]

[In the moonlight, we see Jem, Dill and Scout tiptoeing towards the Radley

house. They whisper]

Scout: Jem, I cant believe you dragged me into this. Lets go home

Jem: You wanted to come Scout. I didnt make you. If you wanna go home you

can walk home by yourself.

Scout: Uh Well it is dark out [glances at the house then at Jem and Dill

then back at the house] Maybe Ill just stay.

Dill: Good for you, Scout. Now lets hurry before we get caught.

[Scout starts to whimper and softly cry]

Scout: [very softly] Theres no place like home. Theres no place like home.

Theres no place like home.

[Scout snaps her heels]

Jem: Shut up Scout. Your gonna get us caught, then Atticus will have our

heads on sticks. So sh!!!

Jem: Whatever

Jem: [no paying attention] probably just a figment of your stupid imagination

Dill: Ok.?.?.?

[Jem, Dill and Scout finally reach the Radley house and start peeking in the

house]

Scout: Jem, I dont see anything.

Jem: Then keep looking. Duh.

[As the children try to see Boo Radley from the windows, Boo Radley from an

upstairs window narrates]

Boo: The children

[a loud bang from the shot of a gun]

Dill: I told you someone was here!

Jem: Shut up and run Dill before were the ones getting shot at.

Jem: [mockingly] ha ha ha. Just get me outta here

Dill: Jem, I think were gonna have to take your pants off

Jem: I dont care. Just just get me outta here.

[Dill and Scout pull him through without his pants. In the background you

hear people in a semi-orderly tumult]

Scout: I hear people. Lets go before someone catches us.

Dill: What about his pants?

Jem: We can comeback now run!

[the children run home to find a collection of adults trying to figure out

what just happened in their pajamas]

Miss Maudie: Well, I heard Mr. Radley, not Boos father but his brother [in a

whisper] God bless that mans soul, but he shot a black person in his

Jem: Uh . . . Uh . . . I was . . . Uh . . .

Jem and Scout: Weird.

Jem: Let me guess? You still hate school.

Scout: Actually Jem, I have turned a cheek. I have turned a page in the book

that tells the story of my life. I enjoyed school today!

Jem: Really?

Scout: No.

Jem: I see what you did there. Ha ha not funny. You should really try harder

to enjoy school because what.

Scout: What?

Jem: You have about ten years of school left. So get used to it.

with concrete! Sir! Sir!

Mr. Radley: Well, its none of your business and if you really want to know

it was dying. Happy?

Scout: I guess.

[Mr. Radley walks back into his house, Scout and Jem continue on their walk

home]

Jem: Well, that was weird

Scout: Yeah

[Sun sets. Early dawn. Its starting to snow as the sun rises. Then Jem and

Scout come out and start playing in the snow. They make a small snow figure

with a hat and hedge clippers in its hands out of snow from both theirs and

Miss Maudies yard. They have no school. After a while the sun sets and they

Miss Maudie: Girl on Fire by Alicia Keys

Its just my house and its on fire

Hotter than a fresh baked cake, lonely like a highway

Im outside of my house and its on fire

Filled with my belongings, but I know I can start fresh now

Ohhhh oh oh oh oh

And its burning it down

Ohhhh oh oh oh oh

Im safe but my things may not

And Ill try not freaking out

My house is on fire...


Its falling with fire...


Looks like a house, but its a flame

So bright, it can burn your eyes

Better look the other way

You can try but you'll never forget memries

Im so sad but Im free

Though Im ready for my future

Ohhhh oh oh oh

Ive got my stuff on the ground

And its burning it down

And it's a lonely world

But Im gon' let it burn, baby, burn, baby





Oh, oh, oh, oh ohhhhh oh oh oh ohhh oh oh oh ohhhh... [4x]

Its just my house and its on fire

[in the confusion Jem and Scout and rest of the neighborhood watch as her

house burns down. Then Boo Radley sneaks up and puts a blanket on Scout

without being seen and escapes back to his house. Then everyone starts to

leave and goes home and as they walk away the flames dims until everyone has

left Atticus, Jem and Scout on the way home]

Atticus: Where did you get that blanket Scout?

Scout: You mean, it wasnt you?

Atticus: Of course not. I was trying to save some of Miss Maudies furniture.

Jem was it you?

LOCKED IN

24/69

Jem: If I had a blanket, I would have used it for myself. So no I did not.

Scout: Then who put this blanket on me! [as she throws it on the ground]

Jem: Hold on a second, I think I know who did this.

Scout: Mind sharing?

Jem: I think it was Boo Radley.

Atticus: As in the Boo Radley I forbid you from interfering with?

Jem: Yeah

Atticus: But why would he give Scout a blanket? He doesnt even know her. He

doesnt even you, Jem, for a matter of fact.

Jem: Well actually . . .

Atticus: Dont tell me you broke one of the very few rules!

Jem: We didnt actually interact with him. Its just that . . . [says really

fast as if in one breath]I think Boo has been leaving us presents in a

knothole in a tree in his yard. Then today Mr. Radley filled it with

cement and he told us it was dying but I really think that he just

didnt want Boo giving us gifts anymore. Also, we were at the

Radley house when the gun went off and we escaped but my pants got

stuck on the fence and ripped. Thats the real reason I didnt have

any pants. Then later that night I went back to get my pants and they

were fixed [Jem takes in a giant breath]

Scout: No. Just you, but Dill knows if that accounts for anything.

Atticus: Well dont tell anyone. You hear me? NO ONE.

[Scout starts gagging]

Atticus: Scout, are you alright?

Scout: No. The most crazy and scary person alive and in this town was just

behind me. Do you think Im not going to be a little freaked out?

Atticus: Dont worry. He didt harm you in any way. Now you two go back to

Atticus: Miss Maudie, are you alright? I mean, your house burnt to the ground

mean I already made plans for a new one, a smaller house for an even

BIGGER garden. Im ecstatic!

Atticus: Ok then.

Miss Maudie: Thanks for asking. Well, I better go see what I have left in the

remains of my house plus my garden.

Atticus: Ok you have a good day now!

Miss Maudie: Thanks! You too dear!

[children go sit on steps below Atticus]

Scout: What is it Atticus?

Atticus: Mockingbirds dont do one thing but make music for us to enjoy, but

sing their hearts out for us. Thats why its a sin to kill a

mockingbird. Killing one is sin, just as much as adultery and

hypocrisy. What do you think the message . . . [a mad dog comes

trotting down their street] OH CRAP! Kids get inside and tell Cal to

call and alert the neighbors, then call Sheriff Tate and ask if I can

shoot him, if he says yes tell her to bring the gun! Now go!

Scout: What gun?

Atticus: Just go!

Scout: Fine

[Jem and Scout rush inside. A few moments later you see the kids in watching

Jem: Know what?

Atticus: No. I didnt really know when to tell them you know.

Miss Maudie: Well, no time like the present! Right?

Scout: I guess.?.?

Miss Maudie:[to Jem and Scout] When your daddy was a young man like you but

Jem: But why Atticus? Your so good.

Atticus: Because if I wanted the whole town to know, I would make a huge

billboard in front of the busiest road in town

Jem: Why a billboard?

Atticus: Im just kidding. Id just tell Ms. Crawford. Basically the same

thing with the size of her big mouth.

Jem: No

Atticus: Ok. Back on topic, she just called to say thank you for reading to

her through her reverie from her morphine addiction.

Scout: But she seemed fine

Atticus: She was very secretive about it. She was recovering from a drug

addiction which is not drama you need in this town especially.

Jem: Im glad she was getting better. How far had she come?

Atticus: Well thats part of the reason I wanted to talk to you. She passed a

short time after you left.

easiest option.

[Beautiful City by Hunter Parrish]

Out of the ruins and rubble

Out of the smoke

Out of our night of struggle

Can we see a ray of hope

One, pale thin ray

Reaching for the day

We can build, a beautiful city

Yes we can, Yes we can

We can build a beautiful city

Not a city of angels

But city of men

We may not reach the ending

But we can start

Slowly but truly mending

Brick by brick

Heart by heart

Now, maybe now

We start learning how

That's life, funny as it seems.

Some people get their kicks,

Steppin' on dreams

But I just can't let it get me down,

Cause this big old world keeps spinnin' around.

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,

A poet, a pawn and a king.

I've been up and down and over and out

But I know one thing:

Each time I find myself flat on my face,

I pick myself up and get back in the race.

That's life, I can't deny it,

I thought of quitting,

But my heart just won't buy it.

Scout: Atticus, how come Tom Robinson and you lose? Mr. Robinson didnt

commit any crime, it was totally Mr. Ewell?

Atticus: Well, down here in the South, especially in these parts, people

second class. I knew from the beginning the battle was lost before I

started fighting but it doesnt mean the battle isnt worth fighting.

they knew that he was innocent but it was a black man verse a white

change. We have to believe in equality. We have to believe in dreams.

Heaven knows your existence

And leads you to be everything you are

There's a time for every soul to fly

It's in the eyes of every friend

It's the hope, the love that saves the world

And, ohhh, we should never let it go
