REGISTRATION WOMAN
Next.
It's George's turn but he doesn't hear it. "Twenty years of
schooling and they put you on a day shift." The words hit
him like a tone of bricks as he continues to stare at his own
reflection.
GEORGE (V.O.)
I was standing there, and it was like
the outside of me and the inside of me
didn't match, you know? And then I
looked around the room and it hit me. I
saw my whole life. Where I was gonna
live, what type of car I'd drive, who my
neighbors would be. I saw it all and I
didn't want it. Not that life.
EXT. CONSTRUCTION SITE - WEYMOUTH - 1966 - DAY
George sits with Fred. It's breaktime and Fred eats from a
lunch box.
GEORGE:
There's something out there for me, Dad.
Something different. Something free
form, you know? Something for me, and
college just isn't it.
FRED:
That's too bad. You would have been the
first one in the family.
GEORGE:
I know.
FRED:
Alright. You want me to get your old
job back? Because I could, you know, I
could put in that word.
GEORGE:
No, Dad. I don't want to...I mean, I
just don't want...
It's obvious to Fred that his son doesn't want to be like
him.
FRED:
What are you going to do?
GEORGE:
I'm going to California.
EXT. BELMONT SHORES APARTMENT - 1968 - DAY
SUPERIMPOSE:
MANHATTAN BEACH, CALIFORNIA 1968George and Tuna, now 21-years old, struggle with their bags.
Their new place is a tackily furnished, two-story apartment
with small balconies and a view of the ocean. As George and
Tuna struggle with the bags, two California beauties appear
on the balcony next door: BARBARA BUCKLEY, 20, and MARIA
GONZALES, 21.
GIRLS:
You guys need some help?
George and Tuna share a look.
TUNA:
I don't know about you, but I think
we're gonna like it here.
EXT. MANHATTAN BEACH - 1968 - DAY
SERIES OF SHOTS:
Barbara and Maria introduce George and Tuna around to the
Manhattan Beach regulars. They are immediately accepted
despite their ill fitting shorts and Tuna's unhip black
socks. The beach scene is one big party. Lots of beer,
music, bikinis, and good times. By the end of the day,
George and Tuna have a hundred new friends.
GEORGE (V.O.)
California was like nothing I'd ever
experienced. The people were liberated
and independent and full of new ideas.
GEORGE (V.O.) (CONT'D)
They used words like "right on,"
"groovy," and "solid." The women are
all beautiful and seemed to share the
same occupation.
