Bruce Almighty Page #12

52.

BRUCE:

Nothing of this world. Why?

GRACE:

What do you mean, why? Last night

you weren't exactly happy with

life.

BRUCE:

Last night, I was only human.

Bruce backs out of the kitchen seductively.

INT. LIVING ROOM - CONTINUOUS

Bruce breezes through, casually instructs the stereo as he

passes.

BRUCE:

CD 4, Track 7.

The Stereo illuminates and Barry White music plays.

EXT. BALCONY - CONTINUOUS

Bruce opens the doors, steps onto the balcony. He surveys

the cloudy sky, reaches up with his hand and ERASES THE

CLOUDS, LIKE ON A CHALKBOARD.

Still not completely satisfied he reaches up toward the moon

and makes a LASSOING MOTION, THEN BEGINS TO PULL.

CUT TO:

OUTER SPACE - BEHIND THE MOON

Earth far off in the distance - And with a THUNDEROUS RUMBLE

the MOON starts MOVING CLOSER TO EARTH.

BACK TO SCENE:

Bruce adds a finishing touch by adding several stars with

points of his finger.

Grace joins Bruce on the balcony and is taken aback by the

perfectly orchestrated sky.

GRACE:

Wow, it really cleared up. I've

never seen the moon that big.

Bruce puts his arms around Grace from behind.

53.

BRUCE:

We shouldn't waste it.

Bruce starts kissing her neck. Grace turns, .they kiss and a

METEOR SHOWER lights the sky behind them. The kiss ends.

BRUCE:

Bedroom.

GRACE:

Five minutes.

INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT

Grace grabs a neglige from the drawer, heads into the

bathroom. Bruce enters, adjusts the ambience of the room,

BLOWS THE LIGHTS OUT with a quick puff of air, LIGHTS CANDLES

with a gesture. His clothes magically fall away.

INT. BATHROOM - CONTINUOUS

Grace slips her neglige on, begins brushing her hair.

GRACE:

I'11 be out in a minute.

BRUCE (O.S.) *

Don't rush yourself. Sometimes *

anticipation can heighten the *

pleasure. *

Grace SHUDDERS a bit at the word "pleasure", quickly finishes *

brushing, picks up her lipstick. *

BRUCE (O.S.) *

It's a funny thing about, pleasure. *

GRACE'S KNEES BUCKLE, causing the lipstick to smear across *

her face. She sits down on the toilet seat to get a hold of *

herself. *

BRUCE (O.S.) *

It can be extremely pleasurable. *

Grace has a very POWERFUL ORGASM and slides off the toilet *

out of frame to the ground. *

GRACE *

(out of control) *

Oh, oh. Oh my... *

CUT TO:
*

54.

BRUCE:

Standing at the door with both arms extended toward the

bathroom like an WARLOCK CASTING A SPELL. Suddenly the light

hits him from the open bathroom door and he quickly strikes a

casual pose.

Grace stands in the open doorway, panting like an animal.

She dives on Bruce, attacking him.

INT. KITCHEN - MORNING

ON TV - THE MORNING NEWS

MORNING REPORTER

In international news, Japanese

relief workers are staging a

desperate effort to rescue hundreds

of people stranded by a freak tidal

wave that hit Kitamoto City...

We see remote footage of Japanese families being airlifted

from root tops.

MORNING REPORTER

Scientists say the tsunami may have

been caused by what they're

describing as "unusual lunar

activity." More on this, as it

develops. . .

Grace half watches the newscast as she finishes breakfast.

INT. BEDROOM - MORNING

Bruce lies blissfully asleep. Big smile, life is good.

Then, we hear WHISPERING - Like distant voices MURMURING all

at once. Bruce wakes with a start. He looks around puzzled,

sticks his finger in his ear checking his hearing as the

voices fade away.

ANGLE - SAM

Circling, getting ready to go on the carpet. Bruce casually

warns.

BRUCE:

Sam. Uh uh uh.

55.

Sam looks at Bruce for a beat, then walks into bathroom,

raises the toilet seat with his nos e, and STANDS UP ON HIS

TWO HIND LEGS, HOLDING HIS SNAUSAGE WITH HIS FRONT PAWS (NO,

WE DON'T SEE IT) AND STARTS TO GO. He looks proudly back at

Bruce.

BRUCE:

Good boy.

INT. KITCHEN

Grace places breakfast on the table. Bruce comes out, fully

dressed with a spring in his step.

BRUCE:

Good morning.

GRACE:

(gushy-lovey, sing songy)

Good morning. Cooked you grilled

cheese.

BRUCE:

Oo, my favey.

Bruce sits, Grace sets down his plate, leans close.

GRACE:

Last night was just...

BRUCE:

Heavenly?

GRACE:

Mmm hmm.

Bruce enjoys his grilled cheese.

GRACE:

It's funny, but when I woke up this

morning, It felt like my b*obs were

bigger.

Bruce looks away, guilty, trying to be nonchalant.

GRACE:

(holding them up)

Do they look bigger to you?

BRUCE:

Huh? Ah, no, they, ah, look the

same to me.
