CUT TO:

19 INT. BUZZ'S HOUSE, KITCHEN 19

Millie and Buzz are in the kitchen, talking in loud whispers.

Millie fills a blender while Buzz cuts oranges.

MILLIE:

He's the guy Buzz.

BUZZ:

He's not the guy, Millie. Just whip the

whips.

MILLIE:

I looked in his car. He's got pictures of

you, clippings, maps.

BUZZ:

Bowlers don't go around killing other

bowlers. He's only a fan, Millie. I'll

give him some tips and an autograph and

he's outta here.

MILLIE:

You're in trouble, aren't you Buzz?

You're doing something dangerous in that

alley.

BUZZ:

Millie, I know what I'm doing.

MILLIE:

We should leave this town. I can't take

this anymore. I'm not gonna let him kill

you in my house.

20 INT. BUZZ'S HOUSE, LIVING ROOM 20

Buzz rejoins Theo in the living room.

THEO:

Remember the finals in Akron in '59? You

had a seven-ten split in the final frame.

BUZZ:

Yeah, against that prick VanDeMark.

THEO:

Ten thousand to one, but you pegged it.

The toughest shot on the last frame.

BUZZ:

That game was before you was born.

THEO:

My mom was there. She told me about it.

The 'Fazeli Split.'

21 INT. BUZZ'S HOUSE, KITCHEN 21

The blender is wailing at high speed as Millie throws in a

whole box of laxative, a can of Drano and a jar of pills. Her

hands are trembling.

22 INT. BUZZ'S HOUSE, LIVING ROOM 22

Millie walks into the living room with a silver tray holding

two orange whips; one thick and deadly, the other thin and

safe. There is laughter coming from both men.

BUZZ:

And the irony is, thirty years later,

that prick is bowling in the seniors on

TV all over the world, and look at me. Ah

well. The docs made me stop, on account

of my ticker.

(taps his chest)

I don't really miss it, but then...

(chokes up)

...I miss it.

He spies Millie approaching with the tray.

BUZZ:

Orange whip, nectar of the bowling gods.

Thanks sweetie. Millie turns the tray so

that Buzz takes the untainted whip. Theo

takes the other glass.

THEO:

Thanks.

ZEUS:

Zeus is on the sofa, GROWLING and tugging

at Theo's bowling bag. The bag rips apart

and the ball hits the floor.

ORANGE WHIP:

Theo brings the drink to his lips. The

ball rolls across the room.

BUZZ:

The ball rolls into Buzz's feet.

BUZZ:

This your lucky bullet?

Buzz picks it up and reads the writing on the ball. He snaps

a look into the kitchen, seeing the empty Drano and laxative

cartons. Buzz slams the drink away from Theo's lips. The

drink explodes across the room. Buzz is up on his feet.

BUZZ:

(with intensity)

Where'd you get this ball?

THEO:

(stunned - looks at the mess on

the floor, then at Buzz)

It's mine.

BUZZ:

Who gave it to you?

THEO:

Grace Skinner.

BUZZ:

(astonished)

Grace Skinner. Who's Grace Skinner to

you?
