Scenes From the Cutting Room Floor

By Rich

What happens when the Linda Partridge character from MAGNOLIA (played by Julianne Moore) ends up in THE MIST?  David Drayton was played by Thomas Jane. 

David Drayton: You got that kid killed, and I got his fucking blood on me!
Linda Partridge: Motherfucker…
David Drayton: He’s a fucking kid. He’s supposed to be stupid. What’s your excuse?
Linda Partridge: Who the fuck are you, who the fuck do you think you are? I come in here, you don’t know me, you don’t know who I am, what my life is, you have the balls, the indecency to ask me a question about my life?
David Drayton: Tie this around your waist.
Linda Partridge: Fuck you, too. Don’t call me “lady”. I come in here, I give these things to you, you check, you make your phone calls, look suspicious, ask questions. I’m sick. I have sickness all around me and you fucking ask me about my life? “What’s wrong?” Have you seen death in your bed? In your house? Where’s your fucking decency? And then I’m asked fucking questions. What’s… wrong? You suck my dick. That’s what’s wrong. And you, you fucking call me “lady”? Shame on you. Shame on you. Shame on both of you.

And Linda has a conversation with Ollie, played by Toby Jones.

Ollie: We gotta discuss how we’re going to stop that thing from getting in here.
Linda Partridge: Shut the fuck up.
Ollie: As a species, we’re fundamentally insane. Put two of us in a room, we pick sides, and start dreaming up reasons to kill one another.
Linda Partridge: Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up.
Ollie: Welcome to Sesame Street, kids. Today’s word is ‘expiation’.
Linda Partridge: Now, you must *really* shut the fuck up now, please – shut the fuck up.
David Drayton: Come on!
Linda Partridge: I have to go.
David Drayton: You have incredibly low standards.
Linda Partridge: Shut the fuck up.
