INT. RECEPTION - DR. MANHATTAN'S COMPOUND - EVENING
Laurie, dressed up and looking gorgeous, heads out when she's
stopped by a SECRET SERVICE AGENT FORBES.
AGENT FORBES:
Going somewhere, Miss Jupiter?
LAURIE:
Out.
AGENT FORBES:
I'll have a car brought around in a few
minutes.
LAURIE:
No, thank you. I called a cab already--
it's waiting for me outside.
She tries to walk past but Agent Forbes steps in front of
her.
AGENT FORBES:
You look quite nice. Who are you meeting?
LAURIE:
An old friend of mine. And of Dr.
Manhattan's. Now step out of my way.
AGENT FORBES:
Please keep in mind, Ms. Jupiter, that
your boyfriend is this country's most
valuable asset. You need to keep him
happy. And on our side.
Laurie glares at him.
LAURIE:
Yes, sir.
She brushes past him as she leaves.
We move down the beautifully lit New York city skyline,
passing the Brooklyn Bridge . the Statue of Liberty
and the in Towers of the World Trade Center?
We hear the LAUGHTER--
24.
INT. RESTAURANT - NIGHT
--of Dan and Laurie as they finish up their meal at this
trendy restaurant.
LAURIE:
You remember that crazy guy, what did he
call himself . Captain Carnage!
Pretended to be a supervillian just so he
could get beat up all the time?
DAN:
Yeah, he tried that with me once. I just
walked away but he starts following me
down the street in broad daylight
yelling, "punish me! punish me!"
LAURIE:
(LAUGHS)
Whatever happened to him?
DAN:
Uh, well, he pulled that on Rorschach and
Rorschach dropped him down an elevator
shaft.
They look at each other, serious, then explode in laughter.
LAURIE:
Sorry, sorry, that's not funny. I can't
remember the last time I laughed like
this. It feels good.
Dan looks at her as she finishes her coffee. We can see he's
smitten with her and that he probably has been for years.
Laurie seems oblivious.
DAN:
It's great seeing you again, Laurie.
LAURIE:
Yeah, this was fun.
The WAITER arrives with the check; Laurie grabs it.
DAN:
You sure I can't get that?
LAURIE:
Let me put my expense account to use. You
(CONTINUED)
25.
CONTINUED:
Laurie nods out the window. Dan turns and sees a GOVERNMENT
SEDAN parked outside.
DAN:
They've been watching the whole time?
LAURIE:
Just making sure I'm not doing anything
that might upset the country's most
powerful weapon.
DAN:
How is Jon, by the way?
LAURIE:
I really don't know. It's been harder and
harder to tell over the years. It's like
his emotions are slowly eroding. To be
honest, I can't tell if he even cares
about me anymore.
They're quiet a moment. Laurie glances at her watch.
LAURIE (CONT'D)
I should get back.
EXT. RESTAURANT - NIGHT
Dan and Laurie step outside.
LAURIE:
Y1 know, when I think back, why did we do
it? Why did we dress up like that? I
think the Keene Act was the best thing to
ever happen to us.
DAN:
You're probably right.
LAURIE:
I mean, you remember my costume? All that
tight spandex? That was awful.
DAN:
Uh, yeah. Awful.
LAURIE:
And to think my own mother pushed me into
that spandex. Pushed me into the whole
costume thing in the first place. Wanted
her little girl to be just like mommy and
fight bad guys.

(CONTINUED)
26.
CONTINUED:
LAURIE (CONT'D)
(BEAT)
Well, I guess my ride is here.
She gives Dan a hug.
LAURIE (CONT'D)
We'll do this again.
DAN:
Yeah. I'd really like that.
Laurie crosses the street and gets into the sedan. As Dan
watches the car drive off, TWO KIDS nearly bump into him,
running around playing. The Kids make flying noises.
KID 1
I'm Dr. Manhattan, saving the Twin
Towers!
KID 2
No, I wanna be Dr. Manhattan!
MOTHER:
You can take turns, okay?
Dan watches the Kids for a moment, then walks away. The Twin
EXT. CEMETERY - LATE AFTERNOON
Days later. A few mourners gather in the rain for Edward
Blake aka The Comedian's funeral. Mostly government types.
Dan, Adrian and Dr. Manhattan line the edge of an open grave.
INT. HALLWAY - SALLY JUPITER'S CONDO - LOS ANGELES, CA - DAY
Laurie MATERIALIZES in the hallway of her mother's condo in
California. She immediately runs to the bathroom.
EXT. NEPENTHE VISTA - SAME TIME
Bright California sunshine gleams over this upscale condo
facility. Laurie's mother, SALLY, 60s but looks in her 40s,
reclines by the POOL. She hears someone VOMITING in her
condo.
SALLY:
Laurie? Is that you?
INT. SALLY'S CONDO - DAY
Sally steps through the sliding glass doors as we hear the
toilet FLUSHING. Laurie wobbles out of the bathroom.
(CONTINUED)
27
CONTINUED:
SALLY:
I'd figure you'd be used to traveling
that way by now.
LAURIE:
Well, I'm not. I hate it when Jon
teleports me.
SALLY:
Margarita?
LAURIE:
No.
Sally pours herself a margarita from a pitcher on the
counter. We see photos, remnants of Sally from her
crimefighting days around the condo. Under the pitcher of
margaritas is a days old LA Times with the headline: "Dr.
Manhattan Intercepts Terrorists At Port."
SALLY:
It's Eddie Blake's funeral today, isn't
it?
Laurie nods. (From here on, intercut between Blake's funeral
and Sally's condo)
