(signals)
Down ribbon!
Suddenly there is a commotion. The WOMEN who are setting up
the tables all rush to the door as the OLDER WOMEN come in
with the wedding cake. The OLDER WOMEN look half-frozen and
as they move toward a table the cake receives a great chorus
of Uhh's and Ahh's. Suddenly one of the OLDER WOMEN
collapses. Friends rush to her aid, seat her in a chair and
give her wine. The WOMAN takes the glass, tosses it off in
one swallow and grins. EVERYONE laughs.
EXT. COLUMBINE STREET - BOTTOM OF HILL - DAY
A big, battered old shark-finned black Cadillac approaches,
coming fast.
INT. CADILLAC - DAY
NICK, SAL, MERLE, VINCE and ALBERT are all laughing. NICK is
at the wheel.
VINCE:
Hit it, Nick!
OTHERS:
Go Nick! Hit it, baby!!!
The car bangs over potholes and slams into the grade. We
watch as it reaches the half-way point, then the three
quarter mark...
INT. CADILLAC - DAY
NICK bends forward over the wheel, peering out through the
slapping wipers.
(chanting)
Do it, Nick! Do it! Go Nick, Go! Do
it! Do it, Nick! Go!
The car fishtails, loses speed... to a creep.
NICK:
Back! All hands to the rear!
ALBERT and MERLE, who are sitting in front, immediately throw
themselves into the back seat on top of SAL and VINCE.
Easy... 'At's it, easy! Easy,
Nick... Easy!
EXT. COLUMBINE STREET - TOP OF HILL - DAY
The Cadillac inches up the last ten feet, gains level ground
and skids to a stop. From inside comes a MUTED CHEER.
INT. BRIDE'S HOUSE - BEDROOM - DAY
ANGELA is dressed in her white bridal gown and veil. She is
plump, pretty, with a solemn, round face and big brown eyes.
ANGELA leans forward into a mirror.
ANGELA:
(sincerely)
I do.
A pause. ANGELA scowls and tries it again.
ANGELA (CONT'D)
(heartfelt)
I do.
ANGELA tries it a few more times. It sounds worse and worse.
ANGELA (CONT'D)
I do, I do, I do!!!
ANGELA stares at herself. Now she looks desperate and
unrelievedly forlorn. Bursting into tears she throws herself
on the bed. Someone has slipped a photograph under the
pillow. The photograph is face down and as ANGELA pulls it
out she sees that something is written on the back:
ANGELA (CONT'D)
(reading, slow)
"This is it -- more or less...
Love, Mom."
ANGELA frowns, turns the photograph over. It is a picture of
Michaelangelo's "David". ANGELA stares at the figure for a
long, long moment...
ANGELA (CONT'D)
Oh, wow.
INT. JOHN'S BAR - DAY
The place is packed with boisterous STEELWORKERS drinking
boilermakers. Deerheads are mounted in a long row over the
bar, and hand-painted murals decorate the walls. The murals
depict hunting scenes and display an eerie tone -- at once
comical and frightening -- as if the animals held some secret
