Ron pushes his way through the crowd.
RON:
Calvin! Hey, Calvin!
(pointing over his shoulder)
Kennedy's going toe-to-toe with
Khrushchev on the television!
Calvin immediately heads for the family room. Others
follow.
INT. FAMILY ROOM - MOMENTS LATER
Everyone is huddled around the JFK TV press conference.
There seems to be a lot of smokers. Helen appears
shortly, wearing a hot pad mitten on each hand.
JFK:
...this sudden, clandestine decision
to station strategic weapons for the
first time outside of Soviet soil, is
a deliberately provocative and
unjustified change in the status quo
which cannot be accepted by this
country.
Calvin cuts a knowing look at Helen who dutifully returns
it.
EXT. JET - NIGHT
The plane swoops over the Valley and we see the
spectacular lights of L.A. sprawl. There is a TRAIL OF
SPARKS coming from the jet's engine.
INT. JET COCKPIT
The plane is shaking terribly and the pilot is having a
very hard time controlling it.
TOWER:
Wolf One -- say intentions.
PILOT:
I've got secondaries of an engine fire
and I'll need to find a clear area to
eject.
TOWER:
Roger, Wolf One. Can you make it to
the ocean?
EXT. JET
The trembling plane circles to the west.
INT. FAMILY ROOM
Return to TV.
JFK:
...we will not prematurely or
unnecessarily risk the cost of
worldwide nuclear war, in which even
the fruits of victory would be ashes
in our mouth. But neither will we
shrink from the risk at any time it
must be faced.
INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT/ EXT. HOUSE, MOMENTS LATER
To Helen's embarrassment, Calvin is ushering all the
guests to the front door. Helen is passing out hats and
purses. She and Calvin speak simultaneously - somewhere
in the middle we cut outside.
CALVIN:
I'm sorry everyone, but given this
extraordinary turn of events, I think
it's prudent that we cut the evening
short. I'm sure this Cuban thing will
resolve itself, but in the
meantime...I'd suggest taking a
prayerful watch-and-wait stance!
