MY GIRL Page #12

HARRY:

That's what I do. Do you wanna do it??

PHIL:

No, no no....

HARRY:

Look if you think you know how, why don't you

pre-measure the briquettes in little packages,

put out a product, support me for a while!

Phil exits scene, Shelly comes up behind Harry

SHELLY:

How's it going chef?

HARRY:

Okay.

Vada is seen turning her head to look at Harry and Shelly,

she doesn't like Harry and Shelly standing so close

together, she decides to make her move and pushes in between

Harry and Shelly

VADA:

Are they ready yet?

HARRY:

No, sweetie, not yet.

Shelly begins to brush Vada's hair with her fingers, which

Vada does not like and she shakes her head to get Shelly off

VADA:

When?

HARRY:

Soon honey, soon.

Shelly again tries to fix up Vada's hair

(which there doesn't appear

to be anything wrong with)

And Vada shakes her off again

VADA:

When??

HARRY:

In a minute, look it's hot, sweetie you'll

burn your nose, look out.

Vada backs off, followed by Shelly

THE TWO MEN THAT GOT OUT OF THE CAR ARE PROCEEDING UP THE

SULTENFUSS' DRIVEWAY

FOCUS ON PHIL, HARRY, VADA, SHELLY AND GRAMMOO AT THE TABLE

OUTSIDE, SHELLY SAYS A SEMI-GRACE

SHELLY:

Rub a dub dub, thanks for the grub, yay God.

HARRY:

I'll second that.

VADA:

Hey Shelly, like seafood?

SHELLY:

Uh huh, why?

VADA:

See food!

Vada opens her mouth and displays half chewed BBQ cuisine

to Shelly

SHELLY:

(laughing)

That's attractive.

Shelly's glance moves to behind Grammoo on the other side

of the table and beyond, where the two men are standing

looking around

SHELLY:

(under her breath)

Oh sh*t! Excuse me...

Shelly gets up and moves off to talk to the men, Vada and

Phil turn so they can see what is going on, Harry can

already see, Grammoo just sits staring into space

MAN:

Hey Shelly, who lives here?

(pointing at hearse)

The Addams Family?

SHELLY:

Danny, what are you doing here?

DANNY:

What am I doing here????? What am I doing

here?

SHELLY:

(to other man in background)

Hi Ralph. Oh Danny, how'd you find me here?

DANNY:

You told everybody where you were going, I'm

here for the motor home.

Scene shifts to Vada, Phil and Harry for a moment

PHIL:

These two people do not have a good

relationship.

SHELLY:

(in background)

No! _I_ bought it, _I_ paid for it...

Scene shifts back to close up of Shelly and Danny arguing

SHELLY:

I've been living in it for over a year, the

camper is mine.

DANNY:

Excuse me, MUTUAL ASSET, that's what the

lawyer said, it's supposed to be "OUR MUTUAL

ASSET", not "Shelly's recreational vehicle".

Gimme the keys.

SHELLY:

Keep your voice down!

DANNY:

What?

SHELLY:

The boss is watching us...

DANNY:

(sarcastic)

I'm impressed.

SHELLY:

God I guess i'll have to introduce you now.

DANNY:

Yeah, all right...

Shelly and Danny walk over to the table where the rest of

the family are seated, Ralph follows close behind

SHELLY:

(Talking to Danny, pointing

at the people respectively)

This is Harry, Phil, Grammoo and Vada

Sultenfuss...

DANNY:

Vada Sultenfuss?? Tough break.

VADA:

(matter-of-fact)

I like my name.

SHELLY:

(to the Sultenfuss')

This is Danny and Ralph, they own the Dino

Raphael salon in Detroit.

(pointing at Danny)

We used to be married.

VADA:

(extremely hopeful, to Danny)

Are you here to take Shelly back?

Danny shakes his head at Vada, then Harry gets up and walks

round the table

HARRY:

Uhh, it's nice to meet ya. Uhh, we got

burgers and hot dogs here if you'd care to

join us?

DANNY:

Can't stay, I'm just here because my

wife.....

Shelly quickly interjects

SHELLY:

Ex...ex, ex...

DANNY:

My __EX__ wife seems to have ripped off my

camper.

HARRY:

Shelly?

SHELLY:

Honestly Harry, he got the mustang, I

promise.....

DANNY:

I don't think so, I got a copy of the

property settlement right here.
