FADE IN �� NIGHT SEQUENCE Series of shots of various streets and buildings in the town of Bedford Falls, somewhere in New York State. The streets are deserted, and snow is falling.
It is Christmas Eve. Over the above scenes we hear voices
praying:
GOWER'S VOICE I owe everything to George Bailey. Help him, dear Father.
MARTINI'S VOICE Joseph, Jesus and Mary. Help my friend Mr. Bailey.
MRS. BAILEY'S VOICE Help my son George tonight.
BERT'S VOICE He never thinks about himself, God; that's why he's in trouble.
ERNIE'S VOICE George is a good guy. Give him a break, God.
MARY'S VOICE I love him, dear Lord. Watch over him tonight.
JANIE'S VOICE Please, God. Something's the matter with Daddy.
ZUZU'S VOICE Please bring Daddy back.
CAMERA PULLS UP from the Bailey home and travels up through the sky until it is above the falling snow and moving slowly toward a firmament full of stars. As the camera stops we hear the following heavenly voices talking, and as each voice is heard, one of the stars twinkles brightly: FRANKLIN'S VOICE Hello, Joseph, trouble?
JOSEPH'S VOICE Looks like we'll have to send someone down �� a lot of people are asking for help for a man named George Bailey.
FRANKLIN'S VOICE George Bailey. Yes, tonight's his crucial night. You're right, we'll have to send someone down immediately. Whose turn is it?
JOSEPH'S VOICE That's why I came to see you, sir. It's that clock-maker's turn again.
FRANKLIN'S VOICE Oh �� Clarence. Hasn't got his wings yet, has he? We've passed him up right along.
JOSEPH'S VOICE Because, you know, sir, he's got the I.Q. of a rabbit.
FRANKLIN'S VOICE Yes, but he's got the faith of a child �� simple. Joseph, send for Clarence.
A small star flies in from left of screen and stops. It twinkles as Clarence speaks: CLARENCE'S VOICE You sent for me, sir?
FRANKLIN'S VOICE Yes, Clarence. A man down on earth needs our help.
CLARENCE'S VOICE Splendid! Is he sick?
FRANKLIN'S VOICE No, worse. He's discouraged. At exactly ten-forty-five PM tonight, Earth time, that man will be thinking seriously of throwing away God's greatest gift.
CLARENCE'S VOICE Oh, dear, dear! His life! Then I've only got an hour to dress.
What are they wearing now?
FRANKLIN'S VOICE You will spend that hour getting acquainted with George Bailey.
CLARENCE'S VOICE Sir . . . If I should accomplish this mission �� I mean �� might I perhaps win my wings? I've been waiting for over two hundred years now, sir �� and people are beginning to talk.
