Peggy Sue Got Married Page #6

INT. GYM

CAMERA PANS the gym and FINDS:

Carol dancing with WALTER GETZ, slim, handsome, with a big

toothy grin. Carol's old high school boyfriend, he's now a

dentist and a fabulous dancer. They make a great team.

Couples dancing around them react appreciatively.

CAROL:

I never could keep up with you.

WALTER:

(with a quick tap step)

Just call me Walter the dancing

dentist. Taps and caps. My

specialty.

INT. GYM — ANOTHER AREA

PEGGY'S TABLE.

Peggy sits with Richard, Sharon, and two other couples, TERRY

and LISA and LEON and SANDY.

A hand gently touches Peggy on the shoulder. Peggy turns

around and sees ROSALIE TESTA, a small woman with close

cropped hair. She's in a wheelchair. She wears a plastic

badge:
REUNION COMMITTEE.

ROSALIE:

I remember that dress.

PEGGY:

Rosalie Testa!

'HELLOS' all, around. Peggy helps Rosalie position her

wheelchair at the table.

ROSALIE:

I remember when you got that

locket, too. You were so excited

I think you showed it to the whole

school.

PEGGY:

You have an incredible memory.

SHARON:

It's beautiful. Does it open?

PEGGY:

Yes. These are my children. But

they're not babies anymore.

INSERT - LOCKET

Inside are photos of Beth and Scott as babies.

ROSALIE:

(laughing)

I think you got married when you

were three.

INT. GYM OFFICE

Dolores interviewing Walter and Carol.

DOLORES:

Carol Pritchard Heath and Walter

Getz were high school steadies who

went their separate ways. After

twenty years and four divorces

between them, they meet again —

Walter a successful dentist, Carol

a mature career woman. Carol, why

did you really come back for this

reunion?

CAROL:

Curiosity mostly. I heard you

finally found a man of your own.

Too bad he's married.

WALTER:

(cracking up)

Whoa! Cat fight! Purse war!

INT. GYM — PEGGY'S TABLE

THEIR POV:

Dolores walks resolutely towards their table.

Maddy and. Arthur leave the table as Dolores approaches,

putting her tape machine on the table. She ignores everyone,

focusing on Richard.

DOLORES:

Hello everyone. Richard Norvik? I'm

Dolores Dodge with KARP Radio.

Could I have a minute of your time?

RICHARD:

Sure. I remember you.

INT. GYM — SERIES OF SHOTS

The BAND is PLAYING and SINGING the SONG "GOOD OLD ROCK AND

ROLL." Peggy and Sharon walk through the gym looking at the

photo blowups on the wall. Peggy is stopped and hugged by

several people. Maddy and Arthur are dancing. Despite the

frantic beat, they are slow dancing. Seth is hanging around

the stage, bringing a drink to the guitar player. Walter is

dancing with Rosalie in her wheelchair.

OVERWEIGHT, BEARDED MAN

Turns out I love business. Every

morning I wake up, thank God I'm

alive, and say Who am I gonna screw

today?
