(END OF MONTAGE) EXTERIOR BEDFORD FALLS STREET �� WINTER �� DAY George is walking along the sidewalk reading a newspaper. It is a raw, gusty day, and his overcoat and muffler flap in the breeze.
Draped around one arm is a large Christmas wreath. Under his other arm are several more copies of the paper.
JOSEPH'S VOICE This morning, day before Christmas, about ten A.M. Bedford Falls time . . .
George comes to where Ernie, the taxi driver, is standing on the sidewalk.
GEORGE (holding out paper) Hi, Ernie, look at that.
INSERT:
NEWSPAPER. The front page of the paper, the Bedford Falls Sentinel. The headline reads PRESIDENT DECORATES HARRY BAILEY �� LOCAL BOY WINS CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR. The subhead tells of a plan for a giant jubilee and parade, to be followed by a banquet, in honor of Commander Harry Bailey, U.S.N. on his way home from Washington after receiving the Congressional Medal of Honor.
There's a large picture of President Truman pinning the coveted medal on Harry's bosom, in the midst of dignitaries; a picture of the transport which Harry saved. Practically the whole front page is devoted to the story.
CLOSE SHOT �� George and Ernie.
ERNIE (kidding) Gonna snow again.
GEORGE (outraged) What do you mean �� it's gonna snow again? Look at the headlines.
ERNIE:
I know �� I know �� I know. I think it's marvelous.
Gower comes running across the street from his drugstore and joins them.
GEORGE (reading) Commander Harry Bailey. Mr. Gower, look at this �� the second page.
(gives them papers) Now look, this is for you. This is for you, this is for you.
(as he leaves) See you again.
