KRISTEN:

Oh, Dad.

Wes plays along:

WES:

I don't know, Kristen, that's a long

trip to be on a bus with all those

boys.

MARSHA:

You mean those creeps.

KRISTEN:

There are more chaperones than boys

anyway.

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. BASEMENT - DAY

Every family is in place. The social order is complete:

grandfather, parents, children, grandchildren. The long table

is stacked high with salads, casseroles, and vegetables.

The diners turn their heads toward Jake who stands at the

far end of the table, his closed fists pressed against the

tabletop. He lowers his head in prayer.

One of the mothers, looking at her son, Lenard, quickly pulls

the blanket off his head.

The CAMERA TRACKS ACROSS the table toward Jake.

JAKE:

We thank the Lord for bringing this

family together at graduation time.

We ask Thee to watch over this family

and keep us together in the coming

year.

EXT. JAKE'S HOUSE - MORNING

Two cars are parked in the driveway of Van Dorn's suburban

ranch-style home.

CUT TO:

INT. KRISTEN'S ROOM - MORNING

Marsha sits on the bed as Kristen finishes packing her

suitcase.

The items include: a bright red sweater, jeans, underclothes,

Tampax, and a Bible.

CUT TO:

INT. DINING AREA - MORNING

Jake, Wes and Anne wait in the spotless dining area. Harold

Jay looks in the refrigerator.

JAKE:

(to Anne)

Sis, would you check if Kristen has

everything packed?

Anne nods and walks into the bedroom.
