The Man Who Wasn't There Page #3
Ann smiles wanly.
DAVE:
...I say, Jesus, honey, Arnie Bragg--
*again*?!
He roars with laughter.
Ed gives an acknowledging smile.
DAVE:
...Arnie Bragg--*again*?!
He dries his eyes with the corner of a napkin.
DAVE:
...Were you in the service, Ed?
ED:
No, Dave, I wasn't.
DORIS:
Ed was 4F on account of his fallen
arches.
DAVE:
Mm, that's tough.
FRONT PORCH:
Ed is standing alone on the porch, watching the sun go down.
Crickets chirp. From inside the house we hear laughter and
clattering dishes.
ED (V.O.)
...Yeah... I guess Doris liked all
that he-man stuff. Sometimes I had
the feeling that she and Big Dave
were a lot closer than they let on...
He turns and looks through the screen door into the house.
Across the dim living room we can see a sliver of the brightly
lit kitchen. Big Dave, wearing a frilly apron, stands at the
counter drying dishes. His broad back heaves with laughter
while Doris, just hidden by the wall, chats away, handing
dishes across.
ED (V.O.)
...The signs were all there plain
enough--not that I was gonna prance
about it, mind you. It's a free
country.
