BRUCE:

Oh no! Grace, the dog!

GRACE (O.S.)

I'm in the shower!

BRUCE:

Ah!

INT. APARTMENT STAIRCASE

Bruce runs along carrying the peeing Sam with extended arms

dodges a man ascending the stares, who gets sprinkled.

BRUCE:

Whoops, sorry.

EXT. APARTMENT - CONTINUOUS

Bruce makes it outside, sets Sam down on the grass. Sam

looks up innocently at Bruce, finished.

BRUCE:

Oh, you're all done, huh?

B-e-a-utiful.

EXT. SMALL WONDERS DAY CARE - MORNING

Bruce pulls up in his Ford Tauras to a cluster of cars

unloading kids. A 2003 MERCEDES SRL passes by.

GRACE:

Wow, nice car, huh?

BRUCE:

Yeah, if you want to rub your

success in people's faces.

Then Bruce notices a big medical van in front of the school

with a BLOOD DRIVE SIGN.

BRUCE:

What's with the hubbub?

GRACE:

We're having a blood drive.

BRUCE:

Creepy. Needles, yech...

GRACE:

Oh, that's a nice response.

BRUCE:

I mean, it's just s o . . .

GRACE:

Helpful and life saving?

BRUCE:

C'mon, that's your...blood. It's

in your body and I don't think it's

supposed to come out. Besides,

they stockpile that stuff. They

have an endless supply frozen in a

warehouse somewhere then tell

everyone there's a shortage.

GRACE:

They do not. Now stop it. I'm *

giving. I have a very rare blood *

type, AB positive.

BRUCE:

Well, I'm IB positive. IB positive

they aint touchin' me with no

needle.

Grace sighs in exasperation, starts out when...

GRACE:

(suddenly remembers

something)

O. . .

h

She places a STRING OF PRAYER BEADS on the rearview mirror.

BRUCE:

What's that?

GRACE:

Prayer beads. The kids made 'em.

Keep you safe.

BRUCE:

Well, I hope they work, cause it's

going take a miracle to get me to

work on time.

EXT. HIGHWAY - DAY

Bruce is stuck in bumper to bumper traffic. He stares at the

prayer beads with a "thanks alot" look.
