ow about those two?



TRUMAN

I dunno.



MARLON

mm-hmm...



TRUMAN

Watch, it's those unpredictable actions...

(or they can't follow unpredictable actions...)



Truman claps twice.



TRUMAN

Anything happen?



MARLON

No.



TRUMAN

Mm-hmm. We gotta' get out of here. You ready to go?



MARLON

No, I just can't--...I told you I can't.



TRUMAN

(makes a disgusted noise)



MARLON

You're going to get both our asses fired, you

know that.



TRUMAN

Okay, then! Let's do it!



MARLON

What?



TRUMAN

Whatever you say! I'm game!



MARLON

What? What're you talking about?



TRUMAN

Yessirree! Birthday comes but once a year! Hah hah...



Beach at Sunset



TRUMAN

Maybe I'm being set up for something. You ever

think about that, Marlon? That your whole life

has been building towards something?



MARLON

Nnnnn-no.



TRUMAN

When you would haul chickens in the summer for

Kaiser, what was the furthest you ever got off

the island?



MARLON

We went all over. Never found a place like this,

though. Look at that sunset, Truman.



TRUMAN

Hmm?



MARLON

That's the Big Guy. What a paintbrush he's got.



TRUMAN

Just between you and me, Marlon--I'm going away

for awhile.



MARLON

You are? Really.



TRUMAN

Yeah.



Truman's Living Room



MOTHER

(re: photo album)

*sigh* Little angel....Ohhh..my little clown.

'N carrot top, remember this? Awww...



TRUMAN

We should be getting you home, mother.



MOTHER

Oh, hold on a minute, here's us at Mount Rushmore.

Remember, Truman, when dad was still with us? It



was quite a drive. You slept all the way there!



TRUMAN

(re:Mount Rushmore) It's so small.



MOTHER

Things always do dear, when you look back on them...



MERYL

Look, Truman. The happiest day of our lives.



TRUMAN

Mmmm...



MERYL

Look! Jean, Joey, Joanne...



MOTHER

Doesn't she look beautiful, Truman? Well, she

still does! And there's lots of pages left over

for baby photos. I would like to hold a grandchild

in my arms before I go. And you know I really

should be getting Truman to--



MERYL

No no no no no, you stay, relax, enjoy yourself.

Your favorite show will be coming on.

You sure?



MERYL

Besides, we have something to discuss...



MOTHER

A certain person's birthday...



TRUMAN

Oohhh...I see.



T.V.

And there'll be another episode of I Love Lucy

same time tomorrow, but right now, it's time for

Film Classics. Tonight we present the endearing, much-

loved classic, "Show me the Way to go Home."

A hymn of praise to small town life where we learn

that you don't have to leave home to discover what

the world's all about. And that no one's poor who

has friends. Full of laughter and love, pain and

sadness, but ultimately redemption. We share the

trials and tribulations of the Abbot family. Note

the touching performance of Ronald Griereed (?) as

Uncle Buddy. And that scene with the bowl of

cherries is going to have you splitting your sides

with laughter all over again. And there'll be

tears, too, when David and Jennifer are reunited.

But enough from me, let's join the Abbots in __?__

Village.



At this point, Truman notices Meryl crossing her fingers in one of their

wedding photos...Happiest Day?



Truman's Home



MERYL

Thank you, sweetie.



TRUMAN

I need to talk to you.



MERYL

I'd love to, but, I'm really late.



TRUMAN

What's your rush?



MERYL

Surgery. There was that--that elevator disaster

downtown. It was on the news, last night. This--

this cable just snapped. This elevator ju--it just

plummeted down ten flights with nonunion workers.

Just monstrous. You know, that..that building..
