Vada gets a ball in a bowl

VADA:

I won, I won!!!

SHELLY:

Oh great!!

ATTENDANT:

Hooray, we have a winner,

(picks up fish in plastic

bag)

There you go little girl.

(gives fish to Vada)

See how easy it is folks!

Shelly inspects fish, holding it along with Vada

SHELLY:

Oh Vada, that's a gorgeous goldfish.

Vada notices something on Shelly's hand

VADA:

Where'd you get that ring?

All of a sudden Shelly looks up with a guilty look

VADA:

(extremely hopeful)

Did you win it?

Harry and Shelly exchange looks, Harry smiles, followed by

Shelly

SHELLY:

Vada we have something to tell you. Harry?

Harry sits down on table and looks at Vada in a matter-of-

fact way

HARRY:

Vada we have some good news, Shelly and I are

getting married.

Vada's expression begins to change from hopeful, to horror,

but then she drops her fish

VADA:

Oh my fish!!!

Vada quickly bends over to pick up the fish

HARRY:

We're having the wedding sometime near the

end of the summer.

VADA:

Not acknowledging Harry's comment You'll be okay little

fish.

SHELLY:

Vada? Would you like us to get you another

goldfish?

VADA:

(angry)

NO!, He's fine.

(less angry, talking to fish)

Fish are very resilient animals you know.

Don't worry, I won't get another fish.

Shelly and Harry exchange worried looks, Vada doesn't seem

to have understood

ANNOUNCER:

50 CENTS A HALF DOLLAR, FIVE DIMES, 10

NICKELS, WE HAVE A RIDE THAT'S GUARANTEED TO

REARRANGE ALL OF YOUR INTERNAL ORGANS.

SHELLY:

Oh bumper cars, oh you can't go to a carnival

and not ride the bumper cars.

HARRY:

I fall asleep at the wheel.

VADA:

(malicious grin)

I'll ride on the bumper cars with you!

SHELLY:

Oh great Vada, come on...

They run off leaving Harry to carry the teddy bear and the

fish

SHELLY:

(to the attendant)

Uhh, two.

(to Vada)

Vada runs in past Shelly and seats herself in a car

VADA:

NO!

SHELLY:

Yes!!

Shelly gets in the blue one

SHELLY:

(pointing at Vada)

I am gonna get you.

Vada straps herself in, Shelly turns around and gives Vada

the thumbs up, Vada looks VERY intent on brutally murdering

something now, and she returns the thumbs up, as she does

so, music begins to play and the power is turned on, the

song is "Bad Moon Rising"

HARRY:

Vada, keep your hands on the wheel!!

Vada rushes straight at Shelly and rams into her at top

speed, so that Shelly's car is spun around a little, Shelly

screams, this is all in good fun, at the moment. Then Vada

rams her again, and again, and again, and again, and

eventually, Shelly does not look too pleased, she can't

escape Vada

HARRY:

Careful Vada, careful.

HARRY:

Shelly LOOK OUT!

WWHHAAMMM:

Shelly and Vada pull up along side each other, Vada gives

Shelly a satisfied but still spiteful grin
