MARY:
Oh, no, don't. I love that old house.
MEDIUM LONG SHOT �� old house. It is a weather-beaten, old- fashioned two-storied house that once was no doubt resplendent.
GEORGE:
No. You see, you make a wish and then try and break some glass.
You got to be a pretty good shot nowadays, too.
MEDIUM CLOSEUP �� George and Mary.
MARY:
Oh, no, George, don't. It's full of romance, that old place. I'd like to live in it.
GEORGE:
In that place?
MARY:
Uh-huh.
GEORGE:
I wouldn't live in it as a ghost. Now watch . . . right on the second floor there.
MEDIUM LONG SHOT �� old house. George hurls the rock at the house. We hear the SOUND of a window breaking.
EXTERIOR FRONT PORCH OF HOUSE �� Night CLOSE SHOT �� We see a grumpy old man in shirt sleeves in a rocking chair on the porch. He looks up as he hears the breaking glass.
EXTERIOR STREET �� NIGHT CLOSEUP �� George and Mary.
MARY:
What'd you wish, George?
GEORGE:
Well, not just one wish. A whole hatful, Mary. I know what I'm going to do tomorrow and the next day and the next year and the year after that. I'm shaking the dust of this crummy little town off my feet and I'm going to see the world. Italy, Greece, the Parthenon, the Colosseum. Then I'm coming back here and go to college and see what they know . . . and then I'm going to build things. I'm gonna build air fields. I'm gonna build skyscrapers a hundred stories high. I'm gonna build bridges a mile long . . .
As he talks, Mary has been listening intently. She finally stoops down and picks up a rock, weighting it in her hand.
GEORGE (cont'd) Are you gonna throw a rock?
MEDIUM LONG SHOT �� the old deserted house. Mary throws her rock, and once more we hear the SOUND of breaking glass.
GEORGE (cont'd) Hey, that's pretty good. What'd you wish, Mary?
Mary looks at him provocatively, then turns and shuffles off down the street, singing as she goes. George hurries after her.
MARY (singing) Buffalo Gals, can't you come out tonight . . .
George joins her in the singing as they proceed down the street.
MARY AND GEORGE (singing) . . . can't you come out tonight, can't you come out tonight.
Buffalo Gals can't you come out tonight and dance by the light of the moon.
GEORGE:
What'd you wish when you threw that rock?
CLOSE SHOT �� man on the porch of house, listening to George and Mary.
