CALVIN:
(marveling)
You know, you have a wonderful sense
of humor, son! I must say, the acorn
doesn't fall very far from the tree.
By the way, it's time I gave you
something. Come with me.
Adam follows his dad out.
INT. SHUFFLEBOARD COURT - CONTINUOUS
They pass Helen who is absentmindedly poking at the puck
with a stick. She's not having a very good day. She wears
her hair dryer but it's not plugged in.
CALVIN:
Hi, honey!
HELEN:
Hi.
Calvin hands Adam a cigar box. Adam opens it to see
Calvin's remarkable baseball card collection.
ADAM:
These are wonderful.
CALVIN:
It's my entire baseball collection.
It's yours now.
ADAM:
What's baseball?
CALVIN:
It's a game, son. I can explain it
pretty easily. There's a pitcher.
ADAM:
Like a painting?
CALVIN:
(chuckling)
No, son. A pitcher.
ADAM:
Like one of Mom's?
CALVIN:
Uh, no. There's a man who throws the
ball -- to a man who has a bat.
ADAM:
CALVIN:
(slightly pissed)
No. Sit down.
They do.
INT. SHELTER - NIGHT
Start close on flashing roller skates. Then cut wider to
show Adam roller skating. He passes Helen who has fallen
asleep knitting in one of the lawn chairs. Then Adam
passes Calvin who is on a ladder soldering a leaking
ceiling pipe.
SUPER:
1991TWO PUNKS with spiked green hair enter to the strains of
"My Sharona."
Mom watches the punks enter. Then crosses to the Soda
Jerk who now has a tattoo on his forehead.
MOM:
I'm selling this place. I want out of
this hell hole!
SODA JERK:
Could I, like...oh, wow...like,uh...
MOM:
Buy it from me?
SODA JERK:
Yeah! Yeah, that's it!
MOM:
I'll give it to ya, no money down.
The neighborhood has gone to hell
anyway.
She walks off.
SODA JERK:
Cool.
INT. KITCHEN (1995)
SUPER:
1995Helen has prepared a birthday cake. Having no birthday
candles, she's used three votive candles. We can hear
Calvin and Adam talking in the dining room. (She and
Calvin are now in their 60's.)
CALVIN (OC)
No, no! The runner on second goes to
third! He's out there!
ADAM (OC)
Why?
CALVIN (OC)
Because he's forced out at third! It's
a force!
ADAM (OC)
Then why go there?
CALVIN (OC)
Because he must!
HELEN:
Calvin!
CALVIN (OC)
Coming!
Calvin enters.
CALVIN (cont'd)
Yes, dear?
HELEN:
Get the presents and do the lights.
CALVIN:
You bet.
Calvin leaves while Helen lights the candles. The whole
shelter goes dark. Calvin returns with two presents
wrapped in whatever is available.
Helen and Calvin enter singing Happy Birthday. We see the
ADULT ADAM for the first time in silhouette. His handsome
face is revealed to us when the cake is placed before
him.
ADAM:
Thank you, Mom! Thanks, Dad!
CALVIN:
Blow out the candles!
HELEN:
Make a wish!
He does both. His parents clap. Helen takes one of the
presents from Calvin and gives it to Adam. He unwraps it.
It's a green coat.
ADAM:
Oh, boy! A jacket!
CALVIN:
Your mom made that all by herself.
ADAM:
No kidding!
HELEN:
No kidding.
(aside, to Calvin)
Who else would have done it?
CALVIN:
And I made these!
He gives Adam the second present. Adam tears off the
paper to find a pair of roller-skates that Calvin has
redesigned. The new skates look kind of like
rollerblades.
ADAM:
Holy Cow! What the heck are these?!
CALVIN:
Your roller-skates! I redesigned them!
I think this new design will work even
better!
ADAM:
These are really swell! I mean swell!
HELEN:
What did you wish for, Adam?
CALVIN:
If he tells, it won't come true!
HELEN:
Oh, that's just a bunch of baloney! We
never believed that in my family!
CALVIN:
Well, we did in my family!
ADAM:
His parents don't have a reply for that.
HELEN:
Oh. A nice one, I hope.
ADAM:
Yes, ma'am.
CALVIN:
One who doesn't glow in the dark.
HELEN:
Calvin Webber! What a thing to say!
CALVIN:
Well, we'll be going up in two years.
We'll know then. I'm very hopeful.
ADAM:
(ardently)
Me, too.
