WILL:

Watching his cat get brained.

Morgan gives Will a look, but Will only smiles.

CHUCKIE:

Yeah, so he's like "Check the front

of my truck, I can prove I hit it

'cause there's probably some blood

or something"--

WILL:

--or a tail--

MORGAN:

WILL!

CHUCKIE:

And so they go around to the front

of his truck... and there's another

cat on the grille.

WILL/MORGAN/BILLY

No! Ugh!

CHUCKIE:

Is that unbelievable? He brained an

innocent cat!

BLACKOUT:

The opening credits roll over a series of shots of the city

and the real people who live and work there, going about

their daily lives.

We see a panoramic view of South Boston.

Will sits in his apartment, walls completely bare. A bed, a

small night table and an empty basket adorn the room. A stack

of twenty or so LIBRARY BOOKS sit by his bed. He is flipping

through a book at about a page a second.

Chuckie stands on the porch to Will's house. His Cadillac

idles by the curb. Will comes out and they get in the car.

We travel across crowded public housing and onto downtown.

Finally, we gaze across the river and onto the great

cementdomed buildings that make up the M.I.T. campus.

CUT TO:

INT. M.I.T. CLASSROOM -- DAY

The classroom is packed with graduate students and TOM.

PROFESSOR LAMBEAU (52) is at the lectern. The chalkboard

behind him is covered with theorems.

LAMBEAU:

Please finish McKinley by next month.

Many of you probably had this as undergraduates in real

analysis. It won't hurt to brush up. I am also putting an

advanced fourier system on the main hallway chalkboard--
