12 INT. DINING ROOM - SAME TIME 12

George and Stuart are working on a model airplane that hastaken over the dining table. It is a bright-red replicaof a WWII Grumman F4F-3 Wildcat fighter plane with a decalof an American flag and Betty Grable on the side.

George is putting the propeller on. Stuart is vocallymaking engine noises.

GEORGE:

Stuart, hand me the pliers...

Stuart?

Stuart is sitting in the plane, a scarf around his neck,

fantasizing.

STUART:

Bogie's, twelve o'clock! I gothim, Brooklyn!

GEORGE:

STUART:

(brought back toreality)

Huh?

GEORGE:

What are you doing?

STUART:

Oh -- I... Wouldn't it be cool if

I actually flew this thing?

GEORGE:

Yeah. Mom's gonna let you fly aplane. Check the wires in there.

Will enters.

GEORGE:

Yeah, okay.

STUART:

But what about the plane?

GEORGE:

I want to play with Will forawhile.

We can tell Stuart is dejected and that this is painfulfor him. The older boys exit. Stuart turns to Snowbell

sleeping on the work table.

STUART:

Hey, Snowbell?

(louder)

Snowbell!

Snowbell, wakes up, noisily -- snorting and clearing histhroat.

SNOWBELL:

STUART:

Want to help me fix the plane?

SNOWBELL:

SNOWBELL (CONT'D)

15 INT. DINING ROOM - LITTLE LATER 15

Stuart climbs back into the cockpit of the PLANE. He

opens up the instruction book. He reaches under the

dashboard. His sweater catches on the on/off switch andclicks it ON by accident.

Suddenly the MOTOR WHIRS into action. Snowbell, hearingthe noise, screams, jumps up and dashes out.

Before Stuart realizes what is happening, the airplane istaxiing down the table. George and Will run in and yellover the NOISE of the ENGINE.

GEORGE:

Stuart, what are you doing?

STUART:

(panicked, yellingback)

I'm not doing it. It won't turn

off.

The plane hits the remote, knocking it off the table. It

breaks. The plane flies off the table and into the next

room. George and Will run after it.

As they enter the dining room, the PLANE BUZZES theirheads.

Stuart!

GEORGE:

WILL:

This is cool! All my brother doesis jam crayons up his nose.
