Mr. Deeds Goes to Town Page #50

MRS. SEMPLE

You nose-twitcher!

Budington rises to confront Cedar.

BUDINGTON:

Oh, I knew it! I knew it! You,

you—

Cedar disgustedly pushes him in the face, aside.

CLOSE SHOT - BABE

She smiles ecstatically, too excited to move. Suddenly she

rises.

379. MEDIUM SHOT

As Babe tries to get to Longfellow, but finds herself on

the fringe of a jubilant crowd in the center of which is

Longfellow. She tries to break through, but finds it

impossible. Desperately, she jumps on a chair and tries

frantically to get a glimpse of him. At that moment, several

farmers have lifted Longfellow on their shoulders.

FULL SHOT - COURTROOM

As jubilantly, Longfellow is carried out on the shoulders

of the excited crowd.

MEDIUM CLOSE SHOT

As Babe frantically tries to reach Longfellow, but is

jostled aside. The parade envelops her.

LONG SHOT FROM REAR

The shouting mob is heading for the door at end of

courtroom. Everyone crowds forward.

CLOSE SHOT IN REAR

Babe is left helplessly out.

DISSOLVE TO:

FULL SHOT OF COURTROOM

Empty - except for the Falkner sisters, still whispering

to each other, and Babe, sitting helpless and forlorn.

CLOSE SHOT - BABE

Her eyes are filled. Dismally she starts forward. We hear

a rising commotion from the outside, at this moment.

386. WIDER ANGLE

Longfellow running toward camera with the mob, shouting,

back of him. He reaches courtroom, slams the doors shut

behind him. Babe, attracted by the noise, looks up. He

runs toward her, and swoops her up in his arms.

CLOSE SHOT - JANE & AMY

JANE:

He's still pixilated.

AMY:

He sure is.

388. CLOSE SHOT - BABE AND LONGFELLOW

She kisses him over and over again. He looks around and

over his shoulder at the mob, a little dazed. Finally, he

notices her effort, and gives her one passionately back.

All that is heard is the cheering of the crowd outside and

the Columbia music.

FADE OUT:

THE END:
