A much different, less angry version than what appeared on screen (which isn't nearly as dramatic). This is presented together (the scene would have appeared cut up in the film as it jumps from different storylines).
INT. EARL'S HOUSE - THAT MOMENT
Frank and Phil stand in the foyer. They're quiet a moment, then:
FRANK
So....Phil....um...I think I'm gonna
step in and try and see him and say
something if he can...talk...I mean:
PHIL
...ok...
FRANK
Can you stand...back...maybe, I mean...
just a little bit...in the room is
ok, but back from us a little...
PHIL
yeah.
Frank walks slowly into the Living Room and over to Earl's
bedside. He's holding back his tears. He sits. Earl
is eyes closed, breathing a bit irregular....HOLD.
FRANK
...Dad...Dad...hey...Earl?
He tries to wake him a bit, but Earl is not moving.
FRANK
...hey...Dad...Dad can you wake up
a minute Dad?
He turns to Phil, crying now, says:
FRANK
He's not waking up.
INT. EARL'S HOUSE - THAT MOMENT
Frank and Earl. Earl opens his eyes a bit.
FRANK
Dad...dad it's me...it's Frank...
It's Jack....It's Jack....Dad....
Earl can barely make it but he touches Frank....Frank holds
his Dad's hand....Phil steps up closer....
FRANK
I'm here. I'm here now. What do you want?
Do you want anything?
PHIL
I don't think, he can't...
FRANK
...just wait...Dad...you want
something...can you say...
EARL
.....fuck...fuck...fuck...
Earl is in PAIN and his hallucination make him a bit angry.
EARL
...thismssm....
FRANK
Oh, Dad. It's ok. jesus. ok.
it's ok...I'm here with you now, please.
i'm sorry...it's ok. alright..ok.
INT. EARL'S HOUSE - THAT MOMENT
The CAMERA holds on Earl and Frank. Frank has his head buried
in Earl's bed holding his hand, crying....it's very quiet....
CU - Phil. He's crying a bit standing off to the side.
He looks out the window's and the glass doors and sees the FROGS
come raining down. His mouth drops and he can't speak.
Frank doesn't notice. The FROGS fall in the backyard and into THE POOL.
PHIL
There are frogs falling from the sky.
INT. EARL'S HOUSE - THAT MOMENT
Frank lifts his head and watches the FROGS FALL outside the house.
Earl looks to Frank....he musters something...Frank notices....
All SOUND DROPS OUT except for the breathing of Frank and Earl.
EARL
You are not what you think you are.
Frank breaks down.
INT. EARL'S HOUSE - THAT MOMENT
CAMERA w/Frank and Earl and Phil. Earl's last couple
of breaths are short and quick...short and quick...short and
quick...and then he dies.....his eyes are open.....
