Accost him on the street?

GAIL:

We write him a letter and ask for a job. Any job. And this time, we'llget the spelling right.

Gail goes to his chair, sits on his lap, and kisses him. He

looks up at her:

she's not an easy woman to say no to.

JOHN PAUL JR:

You were never meant to be poor, Gail. I know that.

GAIL:

We're not poor. We're broke. There's a difference.

JOHN PAUL JR:

I don't want to be an oil man.

GAIL:

I don't want you to either. I love you the way you are. All we need is enough to get by, but we're notgetting by.

JOHN PAUL JR:

I'm sorry, Gail.

GAIL:

I'm tired of struggling. I'm readyfor a different kind of life.

GAIL:

God, your hands are cold! Stop, thekids are -- I'm serious, you - Gail wriggles free and Big Paul dances her around theapartment to the BEACH BOYS' CHRISTMAS ALBUM as the childrenlook on. There's a tree with presents beneath it.

JOHN PAUL JR:

Gail gazes up at him, starry-eyed:

for this one moment, allis right with the world. The BUZZER rings.

GAIL:
