Norman/Season 7

Scene 1
NEGAN: Take a damn look!

[DARYL angrily steps up and punches NEGAN across the face. LUCAS participates, charging towards NEGAN and then gets smacked with a rifle and gets knocked to the ground. He gets pulled up by NORMAN. LUCAS headbutts him and then is kicked in the back of the legs by a SAVIOR. DARYL is pulled down to the ground.]

RICK: Daryl! Lucas!

[LUCAS bites onto NORMAN's ear, then pulls back and then rips it off.]

NEGAN: [to RICK] NO! Oh... no.

[Four Saviors kick LUCAS down to the ground.]

NEGAN: [laughs] Oh, my! That is just... wow! That. Is a no-no. The whole thing! Not one bit of that shit flies here...

NORMAN: He... bit off my goddamn ear... [A savior pulls him away then grabs a rag for his ear.]

LUCAS: [coughs] Hey... you forgot something. [he spits out his ear and also spits out blood.]

NEGAN: [laughs] That is.. just hilarious.

Scene 1
[LUCAS is sitting in his cell, naked. NORMAN tosses a dog-food sandwich at him, then the dog food spills out and goes around the floor.]

NORMAN: Eat up, dickhead.

[NORMAN leaves, closes the door and then locks it. LUCAS uses the light given by the other room to find the food and eats it. He stops and tries to get a look at it in the light and sees that it is dog food. LUCAS laughs.]

Scene 2
[LUCAS is laying down listening to 'EASY STREET' play.]

LUCAS: Turn that shit off! Hey! You hear me, you shits!? Turn that shit OFF! HEY! [He starts kicking the door, until the door unlocks and NORMAN walks in and slams him against the wall. He punches him in the face, knocks him over and then kicks him in the face. LUCAS spits out blood, NORMAN then tosses another dog-food sandwich onto the ground, and once again -- it spills. LUCAS does not go for it this time. NORMAN also drops white clothes with a 'C' marked over it. He puts it on and lays against the wall, holding his hands over his ears and shaking back in forth.]

Scene 3
[LUCAS and NORMAN enter the infirmary where DARYL is being checked out by CARSON.]

LUCAS: Daryl.

[NORMAN smacks him over the head with his hand.]

NORMAN: Shut up.

LUCAS: Hit me again.

NORMAN: Oh, you wanna get big and bad now? You really think you wanna try something?

LUCAS: Hit me again and find out what I'll do next. I've already ripped your-

[NORMAN hits him over the head and knocks him to the ground.]

DWIGHT: Hey, we don't need to add insult to injury. The Doc's got enough to worry about.

NORMAN: If he wasn't such an annoying prick, we wouldn't have to go through this. He's fine. [He crouches down and grabs his hair] Aren't you fine, buddy boy?

[LUCAS mutters something.]

NORMAN: What's that? I didn't hear you.

LUCAS: Probably cause you can't hear out of your left ear, I wonder why that is.

NORMAN: [angrily] You best shut the hell up or else I'll return the favor but do something worse.

CARSON: Son, I'd listen to him. Avoid yourself the pain.

NORMAN: Or don't. It'd make it more enjoyable for me.

[LUCAS stays silent. NORMAN pulls him up, he has a big red gash over his head.]

[LUCAS exchanges looks with DARYL.]

LUCAS: We're in this together, man...

NORMAN: I told you to shut your damn mouth!

[DWIGHT takes DARYL out and NORMAN pushes him onto the chair to get examined by the doctor.]

Scene 1
NEGAN: Hot diggity dog! This place is magnificent! An embarrassment of riches, as they say. Yes, sir, I do believe you are gonna have PLENTY to offer up! [chuckles]

RICK: Daryl, hey --

NEGAN: [sternly] No. Nope. He's the help. You don't look at him, you don't talk to him, and I don't make you chop anything off of him.

[NEGAN goes over to ROSITA]

NEGAN: [singsong voice] Same goes for everyone.... [normal voice] Right?

[ROSITA walks away, visibly angry.]

NEGAN: [exhales] A lot of suspense there. I don't think she even knew how much.

SPENCER: Where's Lucas?

NEGAN: [laughs] Oh, yeah, hey, Daryl, where is that cannibalistic piece of shit?

[DARYL stays silent.]

NEGAN: I didn't catch that. Go on, don't be shy.

[DARYL does not respond again.]

NEGAN: Well, I guess I'm filling in for buddy boy Daryl. Lukey boy is doing his job back on the fence... only, well, he's not... technically alive, so...

RICK: You said--

NEGAN: I know I did. But Luke... he didn't want to cooperate. I'd advise you to remember that the next time you think "oh today's the day I'm gonna be a huge prick and not listen to Negan." [laughs]

[ROSITA and SPENCER look upset.]

NEGAN: [laughing] Gotcha! Hahaha! Nah, he's fine. Norman, why don't you let them know where he's at?

[NORMAN walks forward.]

NEGAN: As you can see, his ear's not doing so good... well, what's left of it, anyway.

NORMAN: Your boy Lucas killed a good friend of mine. One of our top guys. Then he got away. You wouldn't happen to know where he went, did ya? [he approaches ROSITA and touches her cheek.]

NEGAN: Norman, back off, huh? Did you SEE the look on their faces, [imitates their faces, and then laughs] Jee-hee-sus! I never knew Lukey boy meant so much to you. Well, we're gonna need him back. Also, did you know... that lieutenant of mine was his very own brother-in-law? [laughs] I mean, what a shitty reunion. Bashed his head in with a hammer. Now, I really like Lucas, but he doesn't get to leave me like that. No. So... if he doesn't show himself [he points to LUCILLE, which RICK is holding.] Yeah.

RICK: We-We don't know where he is...

NORMAN: Maybe we take one of them back with us. The pretty one, huh? I've seen the way our pal looks at her, He'll come back for her, I know it. Lucas is definitely the kind of man who'll do anything for pussy.

NEGAN: Now, now, that's no way to refer to a lady. Apologize to the girl. What's her name, again?

DWIGHT: Ro-see-ta!

NEGAN: Lovely name for such a lovely girl. Well, you going to apologize to Rosita or not?

NORMAN: I apologize, Rosita.

[ROSITA chuckles lightly.]

NEGAN: Now, hold on, there. The man just apologized and you brushed it off like nothing? Maybe, you weren't sorry enough Norman, or maybe this woman does not appreciate that you are sorry. Which is it?

NORMAN: We don't have the best history, Negan.

NEGAN: That shit just isn't going to fly. The two of you may be together someday, trapped alone, and the other thing that'll matter is each other. You gonna work together or are you gonna butt heads? Now, I personally would love to alone with that beautiful woman but no, I wouldn't trust her, after what I did to her poor ginger boyfriend. I want you to get closer to her, look her in the eye and tell her you are sorry, and I want YOU [pointing to ROSITA] to accept his apology.

SPENCER: Hey, this isn't--

NEGAN: [angry] Hey! [sighs] Don't be rude. They're trying to get along, here. Jesus.

[SPENCER remains quiet. NORMAN smirks and approaches her.]

NORMAN: I'm sorry, darlin'.

[ROSITA doesn't respond.]

NEGAN: Well?

[No response.]

NEGAN: [laughs] Well, that's unfortunate. Again, a lot of suspense. Whatever, let's get this show on the road. Norm, put your dick back in your pants. The lady is clearly not interested in the little eye-thing you're doing.

[NORMAN smiles and walks away. ROSITA looks disgusted.]

Scene 1
[NORMAN opens the gates of ALEXANDRIA and lets SPENCER, EUGENE and ROSITA into ALEXANDRIA.]

NORMAN: Well, well, come across anything nice on your little expedition? [no response] No? Well, let's take a look. Pull in. [SPENCER gets back into the car and drives it forward. NORMAN puts his hand around ROSITA.] I missed you. How are you?

[ROSITA doesn't respond. She looks disgusted.]

NORMAN: I'm great. Thanks for asking... so, what's the status on Lukey boy? Nothing?

ROSITA: I haven't seen him.

NORMAN: Well, he's definitely not stupid enough to come back here. You miss him, don't you? Why wouldn't you? He seems like a good guy, but with a dark side. I mean, hell, he ripped off my ear on one of the worst nights of his life. And yours, of course. Your poor ginger boyfriend bit the dust, but I don't need to remind you of that, do I?

[SPENCER exits the vehicle and EUGENE tries to walk away but NORMAN stops him.]

NORMAN: Hey, I'll take the bag, thanks. [smiles. EUGENE reluctantly hands it over.] Gracias. [turns to SPENCER.] Thanks, buddy. [he pats him on the shoulder, while still keeping his other arm around ROSITA.] Hey, dude, what do you think about me and her? You think we'd make a good couple? I think so. Sure, we got off on the wrong foot, obviously, but I believe we can work through it. All of us. It's already beginning to work out with your guy Rick doing whatever Negan says. That's good. It's time to follow the leader. Adapt. You've done it before, am I right?

ROSITA: [mutters] Hijo de puta.

NORMAN: Oh, come on, now, I may be one ear short, but I sure as hell heard that. Listen, sexy, You're gonna want to keep shit like that to yourself. It'll serve you better in the long run. Trust me. I'd rather not want you to join your two friends in death. I would cry to have to see that beautiful face turned into nothing. [he pets her cheek] I like you. And I want you to stay alive. But you'll have to be smart, you got that? I want you to say that you understand that. Can you do that for me, babe?

[ROSITA groans.]

SPENCER: Hey, look, there isn't--

NORMAN: Shh. You can go now, this is a conversation between me and Rosita.

SPENCER: No, I think I'll--

NORMAN: You really want to make a scene here? Step back, bitch.

[SPENCER angrily backs off. NORMAN turns to ROSITA.]

NORMAN: So? Are you going to be smart?

ROSITA: We'll see. [she shoves his arm off her and storms off. NORMAN chuckles.]

NORMAN: [clicks his tongue.] What a woman. [sighs] Look, man, no hard feelings. I just don't like when people interrupt my conversations. Adios. [he pats SPENCER on the back and then walks off.]

Scene 1
RICK: Where is he? Negan?

GARY: He's in your house, asshole, waiting for you.

[RICK scowls at him and then continues forward until he is stopped by NORMAN.]

NORMAN: Slow your roll, man. Just like that? We've been waiting... [slaps RICK] I think I've gotten one HELL of a suntan being out here, waiting for hours. Let's take a look at what you got, huh, Rick?

[RICK is visibly uncomfortable and angry.]

Scene 2
[GARY, NORMAN and LAURA are searching through RICK and AARON's haul.]

LAURA: The hell is this? 'Congrats for winning, but you still lose?'

NORMAN: You think this is funny!? [he goes up to AARON with the note.]

AARON: No, I just -- [chuckles nervously] I mean -- We wouldn't, obviously --

NORMAN: Excuse me?! Are you trying to annoy me, you little shit!? [he pushes him up against the truck. RICK steps forward. AARON motions his hand for him to back off.]

RICK: Hey. Don't.

GARY: Run along to Negan, Rick. [he walks up to AARON and punches him in the side, then NORMAN grabs him by the chin and punches him hard and he falls to the ground.] But your friend here -- he's got no place to be.

NORMAN: Damn right. Run along.

[NORMAN and GARY start beating on AARON. RICK tries to interfere but LAURA points a gun in his face.]

Scene 3
[NORMAN delivers one final kick to the face and then laughs.]

NORMAN: Whoo. What a rush.

GARY: Alright, that's enough. Point made. [The three saviors walk away, NORMAN pats RICK on the shoulder.]

NORMAN: Thanks for the stuff, pal. Appreciate it.

[RICK runs over to AARON to pick him up.]
