There's Something About Mary Page #3

MAN'S VOICE (V.O.)

That she knew my name blew my mind. Some of

my best friends didn't know my name.

EXT. SUBURBAN STREET - MORNING

Mary and a muddied Ted are walking Warren home. Warren lags

behind, mumbling to himself. Mary notices that Ted is limping.

MARY:

Hey, you're limping. Did you just hurt

yourself?

TED:

No, it's an old football injury.

MARY:

Oh, are you on the team?

TED:

No, a couple of the players and me were

joking around and, uh, I fell off the

school.

Warren approaches and motions for Ted to hop on his back.

WARREN:

Piggyback ride?

MARY:

Warren, come on, leave Ted alone.

Warren pats his back again.

WARREN:

Piggyback ride.

TED:

(to Mary)

I don't mind. If you think he can hold me.

MARY:

Oh he can hold you. He weighs

two-hundred-and-thirty pounds.

TED:

A real Clydesdale, huh Warren?

Ted hops onto Warren's back.

TED (cont'd)

Giddy-up.

Warren walks about five feet and stops.

WARREN:

My turn now.

Off Ted's reaction, we

CUT TO:

EXT . MARY'S HOUSE - DAY

Muddy sweat is running down Ted's face as he struggles up a hill

with Warren on his back.

TED:

(straining)

We're here, Warren. You wanna get off?

WARREN:

Giddy-up.

Ted rolls his eyes and continues toward the front door. Mary looks

on, amused.

MARY:

So who you taking to the prom?

TED:

Huh?

MARY:

The prom--you going?

TED:

Oh, I don't know. I think proms are pretty

dumb.

MARY:

'Cause I thought maybe you and I could go

if you weren't already taking someone.

TED:

I mean dumb in the sense that they only

happen once a year.

She smiles at this.

MAN'S VOICE (V.O.)

From that moment on the guys at school

looked at me in a whole new light.

CUT TO:
