Well, this thread seems to get a few views, but not many comments, so I thought I'd put up another page of script and the accompanying song.

The song for this scene is here ....... http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=704874&songID=13570533

"The Day I Fell in Love"




INT LOBBY OLD PICTURE THEATRE DAYTIME

A young TONI ( aged 6-8 yrs ) walks into the lobby of an old picture theatre holding her mothers’ hand.

It is dimly lit, and sunlight streaming through the large windows shows dust floating around in the air.

FAMILIES are congregating, buying popcorn and ice creams in a mood of disordered civility.

Across the room she sees a YOUNG BOY, a little older than herself.

The YOUNG BOY holds his mothers’ hand and waits patiently in line.

INT OLD PICTURE THEATRE DAYTIME

The movie has finished.

Toni and her mother are sitting in the middle of the audience.

The young boy and his mother sit in the front row.

As the lights come up, Toni is transfixed, staring at the back of the boys head.

For no reason, he turns around and they smile to each other.

INT. BEDROOM NIGHTIME

Toni awakens with a start and grabs the alarm clock.

It shows 3 AM.

She jumps out of bed, turns on the lights and begins to frantically search through the closet, tossing unwanted items behind her.

She finds what she is looking for, a BOX containing papers and photo albums.

She takes it to the bedroom and starts to go through its contents.

She finds an old photo album and flicks through it.

There is a class PHOTOGRAPH of school children, aged 6-8 yrs with a hand written summary of the names written at the bottom.

She locates the person in the photograph and locates the name – DAVID RAINE.

Toni appears puzzled. She grabs the phone and calls Dave.

TONI
Hey.

DAVE
Hey. What time is it ?

TONI
3 AM Does that matter ?

DAVE
Not if you don’t have to work in
the morning. Can’t get enough of
me eh ?
(pause)
I suppose you want to go out and eat

TONI
Very funny. Dave, what’s your name ?

DAVE
Is this a trick question ?

TONI
Your name, your real name. You told
me it was Dave Hollinger.

DAVE
It is. . . or rather it has been . .
( still half asleep )
I mean , I, my Mom remarried and
I took my stepfathers name.

TONI
Raine. It was Raine.

DAVE
How do you know that ?

TONI
You went to St Joseph’s primary
school.

DAVE
Yes. How would you know that? Have
you been Googling me TONI ? You
know, trying to check out my
unseemly past ?

TONI
No. You were in my brothers class.
But what I don’t understand is why
you were in my town when you said
you grew up in yours.

DAVE
We moved when my Mother remarried. You
know how it was in those days. No one
wanted their dirty laundry aired in a
small town. Did I know your brother ?

TONI
I’m not sure. He died a little
while after the photo ( trails off )

EXT. GRAVEYARD DAYTIME

The previous graveyard scene of Toni standing by her fathers’ grave is repeated.

The camera pulls back to reveal a second smaller grave next to it.
