88F

INT. GREAT HALL 88F

The HOUSE starts to BLOW APART. Glass rains down.

Arthur holds his kids tight.

The HOUSE is CRUMBLING all around them. The only placethat's safe is where the three of them are standing.

The FURY builds to a CRESCENDO of destruction, and then

finally COLLAPSES!

Followed by silence...

Dust and smoke everywhere, blurring our vision. As it

begins to dissipate, three figures slowly come INTOFRAME.

Arthur, Kathy and Bobby are standing on the onlyremaining section of the house left... the center islandof the Ocularis.

All around them lies what's left of the house. A

veritable skeleton of steel.

The three of them open their eyes to survey thedestruction.

ARTHUR:

You guys okay?

Bobby nods.

KATHY:

How did you know we'd be safe

here?

ARTHUR:

I didn't. I just wasn't about to

leave you guys.

Kathy pulls her father into a tight hug, she's teary-

eyed.

KATHY:

I love you, Dad.

ARTHUR:

I love you, too.

As they look up, they notice Jean, standing on the outerring, circling around them. She's back to looking likeher old healthy self, and she's smiling at her family.

As she passes around them again... she's gone.

Arthur pulls his kids close, and that's when they hear -

MAGGIE (O.S.)

That's it!

They all turn to see Maggie crawling out of the basementstairwell. She's a mess, she turns to Arthur and the

kids -

MAGGIE:

I'm through with this nanny sh*t.

This was not in the job

description. I'm sorry, you guys,

but I quit... I quit.

This puts a smile on Arthur, Kathy and Bobby's faces, as

we...

FADE OUT.
