Bruce Almighty Page #2

Synopsis: Bruce Nolan's (Jim Carrey) career in TV has been stalled for a while, and when he's passed over for a coveted anchorman position, he loses it, complaining that God is treating him poorly. Soon after, God (Morgan Freeman) actually contacts Bruce and offers him all of his powers if he thinks he can do a better job. Bruce accepts and goes on a spree, using his new-found abilities for selfish, personal use until he realizes that the prayers of the world are going unanswered.

BRUCE:

(reluctant)

Alright.

Grace holds up a photo.

GRACE:

Oh look at this. It's the first

day we moved in together.

It's the two of them, younger, laughing.

BRUCE:

(down)

Yeah, so full of hopes and dreams.

GRACE:

Oh, here's me at my sister's

wedding. I caught the bouquet.

It's a picture of Grace overpowering the other bridesmaids

for the bouquet.

BRUCE:

You look pretty intense, hun.

GRACE:

Well, I was thinking about you.

Grace cuddles into Bruce.

BRUCE:

So, you're attracted to me in some

way, is that what you're trying to

say?

Grace rolls over onto Bruce.

GRACE:

You have no idea.

BRUCE:

I was saving myself for the wedding

night, but if you keep this up, I

may lose my resolve.

Grace stands, pulling Bruce up.

GRACE:

Well, that's the way the cookie

crumbles.

They kiss, stumbling toward the bedroom.

6.

BRUCE:

Hey, that's a good line, but you

need more resonance. From the

diaphragm.

(newscaster voice)

That's the way the cookie crumbles.

GRACE:

Oh, say it again.

BRUCE:

(bigger)

That's the way the cookie crumbles.

GRACE:

(sweet, southern groupie)

Oh, I just love on-air

personalities.

BRUCE:

(newscaster voice)

Well then, let me take these

clothes off and slip into my hair

net.

Grace laughs, Bruce joins in as they disappear into the

bedroom.
