MARTY:

My undies, cause, you can't get this

picture off on time I'm gonna' wet

myself.

WALT:

I'm gonna' bring it off.

MARTY:

55 days and I take home the camera.

I got an idea for a product

placement...

They start up the stairs when Doc Wilson walks by. Girl on a

scooter scooting the other way, her arm in a cast. Marty and

Walt turn back to watch on the steps, under the awning.

Carla walks through carrying food bags.

DOC WILSON:

Hiya Sally...

GIRL ON SCOOTER:

Hiya Doc...

DOC WILSON:

How's the arm?

GIRL ON SCOOTER:

Still itchin'.

DOC WILSON:

Good! A sign it's getting well.

MARTY:

(of scene)

Stop...

WALT:

That's what I said.

MARTY:

How are you getting on with these

fine people?

WALT:

Like dykes and dogs.

INT. BOB'S ROOM - DAY

Bob is doing Tai Chi. Knock on the door. He goes to it, opens

it. Carla is bringing him his dinner.

BOB:

Yeah. Come in.

She comes in.

BOB:

I'm just...

She puts his dinner down on the coffee table. He takes out

money from his pants to pay her.

CARLA:

The prices are going up.

BOB:

But, that's the way of the world,

huh? Everybody's gotta eat. Way of

the world.

He sits before his dinner, hands her some money. Remembers

himself.

BOB:

Well, I'm pretty impolite. Would you

like some?

CARLA:

I don't eat vegetables.

BOB:

Well, I can offer you something to

drink?

CARLA:

Sure, what have you got?

BOB:

What do you drink?

CARLA:

Bourbon and Milk.

BOB:

How old are you?

CARLA:

(whispers to him)

He makes her a drink out of his fridge, hands it to her.

BOB:

Then I hope you wouldn't tell anyone

that I gave you this.

CARLA:

I wouldn't tell anyone anything that

happened between me and somebody who

was my friend.

Pause.

BOB:

Nice town that you've got here.

CARLA:

You want to see it better, we could

go out on the roof.

BOB:

...wouldn't that be dangerous?

CARLA:

...not if you've got something to

hold on to.

EXT. MAIN STREET - DUSK

Joe is walking down the street. A script in his hand,

scribbling. Uberto walks next to him.

UBERTO:

Because if you cannot tells me what

is it, how I, how does I take a

pictures of it? Wally wants me, push

in through the weendow...

Joe, as he is scribbling in the script.

JOE:

Yeah, no, can I... if you'd excuse

me, I've just got to...

He walks away and the CAMERA takes him into a backyard, by a

bunch of clotheslines. His glasses fall apart as he changes

them. He looks up as the wind blows the sheet.

He sees Ann, sitting on the backstairs of what, as we draw

closer, we see is the playhouse. In back of her we see the

"Trials of the Heart" flats, seen from the back.

ANGLE, HIS POV

ANN:

Hello.

JOE:

I thought you had play practice.

ANN:

Don't look good for "Trial of the

Heart."

JOE:

Well, then, it don't look good for

the Huskies...

ANN:

That's for sure.

They walk down the street. As they walk down the street, the

dog comes over and Annie throws him his bone over her

shoulder.

JOE:

What happened?

ANN:

Cast stood me up.

JOE:

Uh huh.

ANN:

They're all preparing for the

auditions -- your movie.

He gets an idea, and trades glasses, one pair for the other.

He kneels.

ANN:

"Rise, one need not bend the knee

before the throne of justice."

JOE:

What?

ANN:

What are you doing down there?
