GEORGE:
With coconuts?
MARY:
I don't like coconuts.
GEORGE:
You don't like coconuts! Say, brainless, don't you know where
coconuts come from? Lookit here �� from Tahiti �� Fiji Islands,
the Coral Sea!
He pulls a magazine from his pocket and shows it to her.
MARY:
A new magazine! I never saw it before.
GEORGE:
Of course you never. Only us explorers can get it. I've been
nominated for membership in the National Geographic Society.
He leans down to finish scooping out the ice cream, his deaf ear
toward her. She leans over, speaking softly.
CLOSE SHOT �� Mary, whispering.
MARY:
Is this the ear you can't hear on? George Bailey, I'll love you
till the day I die.
She draws back quickly and looks down, terrified at what she has
said.
CLOSE SHOT �� George and Mary.
GEORGE:
I'm going out exploring some day, you watch. And I'm going to
have a couple of harems, and maybe three or four wives. Wait and
see.
He turns back to the cash register, whistling.
ANOTHER ANGLE �� taking in entrance to prescription room at end
of fountain. Gower comes to the entrance. He is bleary-eyed,
unshaven, chewing
an old unlit cigar. His manner is gruff and mean. It is evident
he has been drinking.
GOWER:
George! George!
GEORGE:
Yes, sir.
GOWER:
You're not paid to be a canary.
GEORGE:
No, sir.
He turns back to the cash register when he notices an open
telegram on the shelf. He is about to toss it aside when he
starts to read it.
INSERT:
THE TELEGRAM. It reads:
"We regret to inform you that your son, Robert, died very
suddenly this morning of influenza stop. Everything possible was
done for his comfort stop. We await
instructions from you."
Pres. HAMMERTON COLLEGE."
BACK TO SHOT. George puts the telegram down. A goodness of heart
expresses itself in a desire to do something for Gower. He gives
the ice cream to
Mary without comment and sidles back toward Gower.
INTERIOR PRESCRIPTION ROOM OF DRUGSTORE �� DAY
CLOSE SHOT �� Gower, drunk, is intent on putting some capsules
into a box.
GEORGE:
Mr. Gower, do you want something . . . Anything?
GOWER:
No.
GEORGE:
Anything I can do back here?
GOWER:
No.
George looks curiously at Gower, realizing that he is quite
drunk. Gower fumbles and drops some of the capsules to the floor.
CLOSE SHOT �� capsules spilling on floor at their feet.
BACK TO SHOT �� George and Gower.
GEORGE:
I'll get them, sir.
He picks up the capsules and puts them in the box. Gower waves
George aside, takes his old wet cigar, shoves it in his mouth and
sits in an old Morris
chair in the background. George turns a bottle around from which
Gower has taken the powder for the capsules. Its label reads
"POISON." George
stands still, horrified.
