INT. GALLAGHER HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
The group sits in the living room, visibly shaken from the night's events. Fiona, Cameron, Lip, Ian, and Carl are gathered, their faces tense as they discuss their next move.
Fiona
(Determined)
We need to report what happened to the police. It's the safest option.
Cameron
(Agreeing)
It's important to get the authorities involved. They can help protect us.
Carl
(Firmly)
No. We're not calling the police. That's not how things work around here.
Fiona
(Surprised)
What do you mean? We need to report this.
Carl
(Resolutely)
The South Side doesn't work like that. We handle things our way.
Lip
(Concerned)
Carl, what are you suggesting?
Carl
(Confidently)
We deal with this ourselves. We find those guys and settle things the South Side way.
Ian
(Skeptical)
You mean fighting them?
Carl
(Nodding)
Exactly. If we handle it ourselves, it sends a message. We're not just going to let them get away with this.
Fiona
(Worried)
That's dangerous. What if something goes wrong?
Carl
(Determined)
It's risky, but it's how things get done around here. We can't just back down.
Cameron
(Concerned)
I understand your anger, Carl, but we need to think this through. Violence can escalate things.
Lip
(Seriously)
Carl, we have to be smart about this. Getting into a fight could make things worse.
Carl
(Defiantly)
I'm not backing down. If we don't stand up for ourselves, we'll always be targets.
Ian
(Pondering)
Okay, if we're going to do this, we need a plan. We can't just go in blindly.
Fiona
(Sighing)
Alright. If this is what you're set on, we need to make sure we're prepared.
Cameron
(Resigned but supportive)
I'll help with whatever you need, but please be careful.
The group starts making plans, gathering information about the men who confronted Carl and preparing for their confrontation. The atmosphere is tense but focused, as they ready themselves to face the challenge ahead.
EXT. SOUTH SIDE NEIGHBORHOOD - LATE NIGHT
The group moves through the dimly lit streets, following the trail they've gathered about the men. The South Side is alive with its usual hustle, but the mood tonight is heavy with anticipation and determination.
Lip
(Whispering)
We need to be careful. We don't want to get caught off guard.
Ian
(Nodding)
Agreed. Let's stick together and stay alert.
Carl
(Resolute)
We're close. Just stay sharp and follow my lead.
Fiona
(Anxiously)
Please be careful. This isn't worth getting hurt over.
Cameron
(Supportively)
We'll do everything we can to stay safe. Just remember to think things through.
As they approach the location where they believe the men might be, the tension is palpable. The group is ready, committed to handling the situation in their own way, prepared to face whatever comes next.
