NIGHT TIME INSIDE THE ZSIGMOND HOUSE, NICK OPENS HIS

BEDROOM DOOR AND EMERGES DRESSED IN HIS PAJAMAS

Nick walks over past where Vada is sleeping on the couch-

bed and stops, turns back and moves over to take a look at

the sleeping beauty, all of a sudden the light in Rose &

Phil's room goes on

ROSE:

(whispering, from bedroom)

Nicholas! What are you doing up?

NICK:

I...ahhh...umm...I'm thirsty.

ROSE:

There's water in your bathroom.

NICK:

ROSE:

Don't wake up Vada.

NICK:

Vada smiles and opens her eyes

SOME WESTERN MOVIE SET IN HOLLYWOOD, VADA AND NICK ARE

WALKING ALONG TALKING TO PETER WEBB

PETER:

I think ahh...Maggie could have been a major

glitter. She'd talent, God knows that face was

made for close-ups but everything was...magic

with Maggie. I remember, we were walking down

Hollywood Boulevard, we put our feet in the

stars' footprints, you know like tourists do,

Maggie could not believe it, her feet were the

same size as Judy Garland. Of course mine

matched perfectly with Orson Wells. Hahaha,

just kidding.

You should call Hillary Mitchell...Maggie

were very close. She's got this funky little

clothing store over here on Melrose, I'd call

her for you but well we ahh, kinda had this

thing you know...got a little messy.

Peter writes on a piece of paper and then hands it to Vada

VADA:

Thanks. Umm...would you know what this is?

Vada hands her mother's brown paper bag over to Peter

PETER:

Well not really. Ahh, could be the date of an

opening, an audition...eh...umm...birthday?

Not my birthday. I dunno, who...eh...writes

dates on paper bags?

Peter gives the bag back to Vada

VADA:

My mom.

PETER:

(looks at watch)

Woooh, I have got to get to Dailies, gotta

break this up.

VADA:

Well thanks for your time, I know you're very

busy.

PETER:

You are Maggie all over...you let me know if

you ever wanna be a movie star...you got the

face for close-ups too.

VADA:

Thanks.

Peter gives Vada a kiss on the forehead, then walks off

NICK:

What a dufus.

LIVING ROOM OF ZSIGMOND HOUSE, PHIL AND ROSE ARE READY TO

GO OUT, VADA AND NICK ARE SITTING READING MAGAZINES

PHIL:

We may go out for coffee after the meeting so

don't expect us before midnight.

ROSE:

There's plenty of fruit.

PHIL:

You know where the fire extinguisher is.

NICK:

If the fruit burst into flames I'll be

prepared.

ROSE:

(to Nick, whom she gives a kiss on

the forehead)

You're so clever.

(to Vada)

Are you all right honey?

VADA:

I'm just tired.

ROSE:

All right, well get to bed early and don't

let anybody in. Bye.

PHIL:

Lock the door.

VADA:

Bye.

Vada looks up expectantly at Nick, who gets up and goes to

the door to check

NICK:

We have lift off.

NICK:

NICK:

Here's Judy Garland!

Vada runs over

VADA:

My mother stood on this very spot.

NICK:

VADA:

NICK:
