the three men at the general store hiding in the bushes, in the same formation
as before. They all give thumbs up, and Jasper on the right holds up two arms
and opens his mouth to reveal his bad teeth. Cut to Jack, holding up the paper.
JACK: Your mind twinkles like the moon (looks at the
paper, sort-of puzzled by the wording) off the bumper of my pick-em-up
truck, and— (tries to smile, but pauses and turns around to the left.) Oh,
this—

MADDIE: What’s stupid, Jack? Anything—
Cut to Jack.
MADDIE: —besides ghosts?
JACK: No, (fuzzes his hair from bun-style to normal) but
pretending to be something (holds out his arms) I’m not *is*.
Zoom out to Jack and Maddie. Maddie is no longer
holding her saucer, it disappeared.
JACK: You know I can be a fool, (puts a hand on his head)
and you know that I can forget things, (removes his hand from his head) But
the one thing you know more than anything (stands up straight and points a
finger to the air) even more
than that ghosts exist and that (crouches down and waves his hand out)
your sister is a bitter old bat,—
Cut to Jack, who is kneeling on the ground with his
palm out. Maddie’s face is in the foreground.
JACK: —is that I love you, baby.
Cut to Maddie.
MADDIE: (touched) Oh, Jack.
She lifts her hand to her mouth.

you… (close up on Jack’s face) To give you…

the counter. Zoom out. Jack runs from the left to the right on screen, pointing

with his hand) Aw, crud.

in his hand, Maddie with her hand on her chest.

DANNY: —uh, so the mosquitoes wouldn’t get it?

crouches over to Danny, holding the box.
JACK: (whispering) Good boy. You’re getting a raise in your allowance for this.
Zoom in on Danny, who puts his finger on his chin.
DANNY: I have an allowance?
(Danny must
have an allowance. Sure, he couldn’t buy the sweats in AotKGS,
but how does he buy all those Nasty Burgers every day?)
Cut to Maddie. Jack slides
up on his knees with the present in one hand.
JACK:
Happy anniversary, baby!
Zoom in to Jack and Maddie.

and Jasmine are in the foreground seen from behind. A honking is heard. Danny
and Jasmine turn around. Alicia, Maddie and Jack look up.
Cut to a red pick-up truck
full of people cheering, which drives up. Zoom in on

in the red shirt hanging off on the car door for the driver’s seat, and Jasper
with his mouth hanging open, with broken-yet-whitened teeth, in the passenger
seat. They are cheering and waving. Zoom out to show that the trunk has three
other men in it, the left-most one is playing a tambourine, the middle one is
playing an accordion, and the one in the back is playing a long string
instrument. The headlights on the car are all blazing.

It reads “A DECADE OF DIVORCE” in big, red letters. Two men come up from behind
it, one comes up on the roof. They are waving their
arms and cheering. Cut to Alicia and Maddie.

A party! (turns

Get set to get wet— (lifts his
arm, which now has a pot roast in it) —yuppie!
He tosses it. Pan right as
the roast gets closer to the camera. Cut to the target. The roast hits it with
a bell sound. Pan left to show the ex-husband looking as the target as he gets
dunked into the water. His hat is still floating above it. Cut a close up on
another party-go-er.
MAN:
Yea-haah!
Zoom out to reveal that the
man is playing in a band, he is in the middle playing
the accordion. The man on the left is playing the tambourine while the man on

Well, aren’t you (points at the
box) going to open the present?

his hands all spooky) The Box Ghost!

misunderstanding.

time.

Love some.
