Peggy Sue Got Married Page #7

LEON:

Let's play "Rate the Moment". I

give tonight an eighty—seven.

Better than sex, not as good as

racquetball.

INT. GYM OFFICE

Dolores has left. Walter lays out lines of cocaine on the

back of the clipboard, as Carol watches.

WALTER:

The best thing about being a

dentist. Pure pharmaceutical grade.

A couple of lines of this, I can

drill my own teeth...

(looks at her for a

moment)

Hi.

CAROL:

Hi.

INT. GYM — INTERCUT - SERIES OF SHOTS

SERIOUS MAN:

(to his wife)

Joe would have enjoyed this. God, I

still miss him.

MADDY:

(to Carol)

Peggy was a mess right after they

separated, but I think she's coming

out of it... It seems to be pretty

friendly now..

CAROL:

Sometimes it's easier when you hate

them.

GREASY DRUNK CREEP

I can't remember. Did I make it

with you in high school?

LISA:

Doesn't it feel like it was

yesterday?

TERRY:

Youth is like an amputated leg.

Long after it's gone, you still

feel it.

SAME BEARDED MAN

My wife's a cow, my son has sh*t

for brains, and my daughter's in

India with Mother Teresa.

WOMAN:

My husband's a pig. But my son's in

social work and my daughter, God

bless her, is in India with Mother

Teresa.

LEON:

For the fitness generation, we've

sure got a lot of porkers.

SANDY:

I don't remember anything about the

seventies.

LISA:

Breaking up was horrible. I said we

had a very special attachment, he

said, so does a Hoover.

LEON:

I don't know why I came back. I

hated high school.

The group around him all answer "So did I" or "Me too."

ROSALIE:

I enjoyed it.

INT. GYM NEAR WALL

Peggy (loose, holding a drink) and Sharon stand in front of a

PHOTO of the 1960 Cross Country Team.

VIEW ON PHOTO - off to one side stands MICHAEL FITZSIMMONS.

His hair is longer, his gaze intense and non—smiling.

SHARON:

Who's the one with the hair?

PEGGY:

Michael Fitzsimmons. I had such a

crush on him.

Carol and Maddy join them, still panting from dancing.

CAROL:

Hi, Peggy. God, that Walter Getzcan

still dance.

PEGGY:

Your first boyfriend. What do

you think? Any sparks left?

CAROL:

Who knows. Remember...

(a beat)

Whatever Walter wants...

CAROL, PEGGY AND MADDY

(laughing)

Walter Getz.

PEGGY:

Sharon Norvik this is Carol Heath,

and Maddy Nagle. My oldest and

dearest friends. Sharon's married

to Richard.

CAROL:

Lucky lady. Hi.

MADDY:

(looking at the photo)

Michael Fitzsimmons! Is he here?

PEGGY:

No. I asked Rosalie. She couldn't

track him down.

CAROL.

Too bad.

SHARON:

He must have been quite a guy.

PEGGY:

He was the only one in high school

I wished I'd gone to bed with.

CAROL:

The only one?

PEGGY:

Well, besides Charlie, of course.

We HOLD on the photo of Michael and...
