IN:
10:00:38 INT. GEORGIE'S BEDROOM. LANE'S HOUSE. NIGHT

Georgie is lying in bed asleep.

IN:
10:00:47 EXT. LANE'S HOUSE. NIGHT

We see a figure skulking around in the dark. He starts to clamber onto the roof of the single story

extension.

IN:
10:01:31 INT. GEORGIE'S BEDROOM. LANE'S HOUSE. NIGHT

We see the figure of Georgie under the duvet, not stirring.

We see the shape of a man outside. He starts to quietly prize open the window.

The man stealthily climbs in through the bedroom window. He looks around and sees the

sleeping figure. He creeps towards the bed.

He is about to throw off the duvet when someone grabs him from behind and with skillful

ruthlessness twists the assailants arm up his back and forces him face down onto the bed.

We now see it is Georgie that has attacked him and the figure in the bed, merely pillows.

GEORGIE:

(whispers menacingly into his ear)

Elvis? Now I'm gonna kill you.

ELVIS:

You know I could get out of this but it would involve

inflicting much pain upon your personage.

Georgie laughs.

GEORGIE:

You reckon?

With expertise and speed, Elvis is able to flip Georgie onto the bed and pin both her arms above

her head. Georgie screams.

GEORGIE:

Hi.

ELVIS:

Hi… We're getting married tomorrow!

GEORGIE:

Huh huh! No. The day after tomorrow.

ELVIS:

Are you sure?

GEORGIE:

Hum Hum!

ELVIS:

midnight)

Oh no sh*t, no it is tomorrow.

ELVIS:

Hey listen when I'm done here, I gotta get back babe…

GEOIRGIE:

No… Uh. Uh. Uh…

ELVIS:

London to try my suit on.

GEORGIE:

Language 10:

in her bedroom window?

GRACE:

They'll be in married quarters so he won't need to.

MAX:

Can I go through my speech one more time?

GRACE:

No. Just go to sleep.

apparently.

Oh I, what's your wedding dance then, Elvis?

floor, Elvis?

ELVIS:

GRACE:

Hey are you gonna serenade us? I mean, your mum

must have called you Elvis for a reason.

Elvis heads to the front door.

MAX:

Thank you.

(to Georgie)

Hey… Can I just say...

GEORGIE:

Please don't say anything, if you make me cry, my

mascara runs and I look like a panda.

Grace, Lulu and Marie, (Georgie's 2 sisters) emerge from the car behind.

Okay thank you.

So I think, when I get married dad, I'm gonna having a

horse drawn carriage.
