Runaway Bride Page #3
INT. USA TODAY OFFICE - CONTINUOUS
Elaine at her desk reads aloud to herself.
ELAINE:
"But perhaps, in fairness to the fairer
sex, I do need to broaden my horizon
and add some new goddesses to the
pantheon:
I would like to nominate fordeity..."
Fisher hands a file to Elaine.
FISHER:
"... The cheerleader, the coed, and the
man-eater, the last of which concerns me
most today."
Fisher leaves and we hold a USA Today sign.
CUT TO:
The Man comes out of the men's room reading the USA Today,
Kevin, the Bartender, stands on the bar reading the same
article.
MAN:
(reads)
"To be fair, the man-eater isn't
exactly new. In Ancient Greece, this
fearsome female was known as Erinys,
the devouring death goddess. In India,
she is Kali, who likes to devour her
boyfriend Shiva's entrails while her
yoni devour his -- dot dot dot, never
mind. In Indonesia, the bloody-jawed
man-eater is called Ragma..."
Te Man sits at the bar near to the Bartender.
BARTENDER:
You noticed these are all countries
without cable.
(then, continues
reading)
"... And in Hale, Maryland where she
helps run the family hardware store.
She is known as Miss Maggie Carpenter
..."
(mispronounces)
".... AKA, the Runaway Bride."
CUT TO:
EXT. USA TODAY LOADING DOCK - DAY
WORKERS read the above article.
INT./EXT. BEAUTY PARLOR / HALE, MARYLAND - DAY
PEGGY and MRS. PRESSMAN exit the parlor and stroll down the
street. (lowers her paper and reads.)
PEGGY (cont'd)
"... And in Hale, Maryland where she
helps run the family hardware store."
(to the Women)
We have to go to Maggie. Cindy, mind
the shop.
(exits salon;
continues reading)
"... She is known as Miss Maggie
Carpenter, AKA, the Runaway Bride."
MRS. PRESSMAN
Holy moly.
The older one, Mrs. Pressman, listens with a pained expression
as the younger one, Peggy, continues to read the column aloud.
Neither one can believe what they're reading.
PEGGY:
(reads)
"What is unusual about Miss Carpenter
is that she likes to dress her men up
as grooms before she devours them. She
has already disemboweled six in a row
by leaving them at the altar."... I
can't ready anymore.
MRS. PRESSMAN
(takes paper from
her, reads)
"And her ritual feast continues as she
prepares to make a sacrifice out of the
seventh fiance. So all bets are on and
we hope that this boomerang bride isn't
honeymooning with Las Vegas odds makers
because many predict that this girl is
out of there before the race... before
the rice hits the ground"
(then)
Holy moly.
