Very Bad Things Page #29

Before Moore can ask, the ORGAN begins playing the WEDDING

MARCH. Liz starts down the aisle, escorted by her father,

She smiles radiantly.

Liz's father kisses her and gives her to Fisher. They stand

before the Judge who starts talking. TIGHT ON Fisher. His

head pounding. He hears none of what the Judge says until...

JUDGE TOWER:

May we have the rings please?

FISHER:

What?

JUDGE TOWER:

The rings?

Fisher looks at Moore.

INT. CHURCH BASEMENT

Moore opens the closet. Boyd falls out.

INT. CHURCH

Everyone waits patiently. Fisher is sweating. He looks at

Liz who stares straight ahead.

INT. CHURCH BASEMENT

Moore rolls Boyd over, checks every pocket, trying not to

get blood on himself.

INT. CHURCH

Moore returns.

MOORE:

Got 'em.

He hands the rings to the Judge, at which time, he, she,

Fisher and Liz all see blood on his white shirt cuff. The

Judge looks at Moore. He pulls his jacket sleeve down.

JUDGE TOWER:

(continues)

These rings represent the commitment

Fisher and Liz make to each other on

the day. Fisher do you take Liz to

be your beloved wife, to respect,

honor and cherish till death do you

part?

FISHER:

I do.

Liz slides the ring on Fisher's finger.

JUDGE TOWER:

Liz do you take Fisher to be your

beloved husband, to respect, honor

and cherish him till death do you

part?

LIZ:

I do.

Fisher slides the ring on Liz's finger.

JUDGE TOWER:

I now pronounce you husband and wife.

Fisher kisses Liz. They turn to face their guests who applaud.

Liz cries tears of joy.

WEDDING RECEPTION - TENT NEXT TO CHURCH

Liz drinks champagne and talks with her guests.

EXT. CHURCH - REAR

Fisher and Moore load Boyd's body in the trunk of Fisher's

car.

MOORE:

He came to me early today, was talking

about money, insurance money. Said

he was gonna get what was his.

FISHER:

My God...

MOORE:

He said he was the Brain Trust. Said

he was smarter than all of us. He

started reading "Atlas Shrugged,"

staring at himself in the mirror.

FISHER:

Did he try to kiss you?

MOORE:

All week long.

Fisher slams the trunk closed.

WEDDING RECEPTION - MUCH LATER

Only a few guests remain. Fisher's parents watch the boys.

The caterers are cleaning up. Fisher and Liz sit alone.

FISHER:

He kept saying he was protected.

LIZ:

What does that mean?

FISHER:

Like if something happened to him,

he could still get us.

LIZ:

Like how?

FISHER:

I don't know. He could have told

someone. He could have, like in the

event of his death, somehow let

someone know where those bodies are

buried.

LIZ:

The only proof is those bodies.

FISHER:

So what do we do?

LIZ:

Move the bodies.

FISHER:

Move the bodies?

OLD MAN (O.S.)

Excuse us?

Fisher and Liz look up at a sweet OLD COUPLE, who talk at

the same time, oblivious to each other.

OLD MAN:

We just wanted to say

congratulations and

wish you great

happiness. Mazeltov. I

just did. I said

Malzeltov. You never

listen to me.

OLD WOMAN:

We're your Uncle Henry's

parents. Opal and Earl.

Tell them from both of us.

Malzeltov. Wish them luck.

The secret to a good

marriage is to listen.

LIZ:

(cheerleader smile)

Thank you. Thank you. We will. Bye

bye.

The Old Couple shuffles away. Fisher watches them go, he

suddenly breaks down, crying...

FISHER:

I... Liz... all I ever wanted, was

for you to be happy. I just wanted

to give you the wedding, the life

you always dreamed of...

(sobs)

...I just love you so much... So

much...

LIZ:

(beat; unmoved)

You and Moore move the bodies and

bury Boyd with them. In fact, put

Moore in the ground too.
