Only You Page #4

KATE:

(mouthing the words

and pointing)

Is that a bowling ball?

Faith doesn't understand. Kate mimes a bowling motion,

swinging her arm. Faith shrugs. As the woman returns, from

outside we overhear,

BOY'S VOICE (O.S.)

Hey, Kate. Larry wants you.

LARRY (O.S.)

I do not.

Kate grins, ducks out. Mme. Divina sits back down. Closes

her eyes. Fingers the ball, entranced.

FORTUNE TELLER:

Something is coming to me. I'm

getting... a name.

Faith leans forward.

FORTUNE TELLER:

(straining)

This name is very important to

you... Da-- David. No-- no...

A faint breeze flutters through the room and the candle starts

to flicker.

FORTUNE TELLER:

Damon.

Faith's heart skips a beat.

FORTUNE TELLER:

His name is...

(her eyes pop open

with startling

intensity)

Damon Bradley.

It is, of course, the same name.

FAITH:

Omigod. Omigod.

(getting up)

I have to go.

She seizes Faith's hand.

FORTUNE TELLER:

Just a minute--

Faith freezes.

FORTUNE TELLER:

Your destiny's two dollars.

Faith pulls out two bills, drops them on the table. Bolts

for the door. But the woman stops her again.

FORTUNE TELLER:

Hey--

She leans in very close and pulls Faith toward her. We should

sense that this is not part of the act. This is for real.

FORTUNE TELLER:

The truth is, no matter what the

cards say, you make your own

destiny. Don't wait for it to come

to you. You understand?

Faith nods. Still in shock.

FAITH:

Can I be excused now?

CUT TO:

SUPER:
TWENTY YEARS LATER -- SATURDAY NIGHT

We hear pouring rain. But what sounds like rain is actually

the shower, as we pull back to find Mitzi Gaynor washing that

man right out of her hair. "SOUTH PACIFIC" is on television.

We pull back even further to reveal three WOMEN watching.

A big Saturday night. There's a lot of chocolate on the

table.
