Willow Page #2

Suddenly WE HEAR rustling leaves, possibly another

Death Dog. Then WE HEAR giggling. Two children, RANON

and MIMS, watch in amazement from the riverbank.

EXT. UFGOOD FARM - DAY

Holding onto a plow, WILLOW UFGOOD struggles behind a

huge hog. From a heavy sack slung over his shoulder he

tosses seeds.

RANON:

Dada! We found something in the

river!

Willow beams with joy as his son and daughter race to-

ward him. They grab his sleeves and tug him away from

his plow.

WILLOW:

I can't run off and play with you

now. I've got work to do.

RANON/MIMS

But Dada, you gotta see it! Hurry!

Willow drops his sack of seeds. The ugly hog glares at

him like a guilty conscience. The children squeal with

excitement as their father runs toward the river with

them.

EXT. RIVERBANK - DAY

WE SEE Willow from the baby's view. His eyes pop open.

He quickly backs his children away.

WILLOW:

Back! Don't go near it. We don't

know where it's been. It could be

diseased.

MIMS:

It's a baby!

RANON:

It's not a Nelwyn baby.

WILLOW:

No, it's too big to be a Nelwyn

baby. It looks like a daikini...

MIMS:

Ooh, it's so cute...

WILLOW:

Mims! Get back here! It might

bite you.

Willow drags Mims away. Then the baby starts crying.

RANON:

Can't we keep it, Dada?

WILLOW:

Absolutely not.

BURGLEKUTT:

Ufgood! Willow Ufgood!

Willow, in a sudden panic, sees BURGLEKUTT in the dis-

tance. He splashes into the river, grabs the raft,

plunks it on the bank and tries to hush the crying

baby.

WILLOW:

Shhh, shhh! It's the Prefect --

that's all I need. Mims, Ranon,

keep this thing hidden...

EXT. UFGOOD FARM - DAY

Burglekutt's beady eyes spot Willow making a mad dash

for his plow. Swinging his fat stomach, he angrily

points his walking stick and goes after him.

KIAYA:

Mr. Burglekutt! He hasn't done

anything wrong!

Willow's wife KIAYA chases Burglekutt across the field,

her beautiful long hair flowing behind her. Willow

quickly gets behind his plow like he's been there all

day.

BURGLEKUTT:

Ufgood! What do you think you're

doing! I tell the planting seeds

in this village.
