"GIRL OF MY DREAMS"
EXT. GRASSY HILL, 1983 -- DAY
The shadow of a tree on the crest of a hill... the verdant
rolling hills near the college town of Santa Mira.
A car twists up the narrow road to the top of the hill.
The car parks at the crest of the hill, and laughter spills
out as the doors open.
JOHN and CATHY, grab hands and race from the car to the tree.
Both are 20 years old, good looking, sexy, in the prime of
life and overflowing with passion. College kids who have
found their perfect math. Completely in love.
John has shaggy long hair, and exaggerated sideburns.
Cathy is a free spirit, dressed in pseudo hippy clothes.
AT THE CREST OF THE HILL
They fall, laughing, into each others arms, kiss passionately.
CATHY
We forgot the pic-a-nic basket.
JOHN
(as Yogi Bear)
Okay, BooBoo...
Cathy laughs, they kiss again. Young and in love.
CRACK!
The blanket snaps in the breeze and floats down to the earth,
exposing Cathy, guiding it.
Cathy takes paper plates and food from the basket.
JOHN
Looks delicious.
CATHY
You dont even know what I brought.
JOHN
I wasnt talking about the food.
Cathy laughs, grabs him, another passionate kiss.

LATER:
Two glasses of champagne sparkle in the sunlight.
Open containers of potato salad, fried chicken, etc.
John takes the last bite of his drumstick, tosses the bone.
His fingers are covered with batter and seasonings.
Before he can grab a napkin, Cathy takes his hand and guides
it sensually into her mouth. She sucks each finger clean.
CATHY
Mmmmm.
JOHN
"Mmmmmmmm," yourself.
John pulls her close, lays one on her. Comically wiping his
hand on her back. She laughs, pushes him away...
Then pulls him back.
THEIR PASSION GROWS. They peel off each others clothes;
kissing bare flesh as it is exposed to the sun. Cathy helps
him unhook her bra, their lips join in passion.
JOHN
Its true.
CATHY
What?
JOHN
Everything DOES taste like chicken.
John moves his hand under her skirt, glides the panties slowly
down Cathys legs. She takes his hand and guides it back
under her skirt. The skirt gets in the way, she removes it.
They begin to make love, but Cathy gently pushes him away.
CATHY
John?
He looks into her eyes.
CATHY
Stay with me. Please.
JOHN
Cath, I have to transfer down to UCLA.
Its my future...
CATHY
Please stay here...

JOHN
Ill love you no matter where I am.
CATHY
Will you?
JOHN
Ill always love you. Always.
They kiss again, passion flaring.
SUDDENLY, a CREATURE bursts from the earth. Ugly, wrinkled,
with a huge red sucker-mouth belching smoke. The Creatures
huge gnarled hand grabs John, red claws digging into flesh.
JOHN
Arggggggg!
The Creature yanks John into the depths of the earth.
JOHN SCREAMS as he is pulled into the darkness....
INT. JOHNS BEDROOM (1998) -- MORNING
John wakes up screaming, heart beating out of control.
A typical suburban bedroom, present day. John is fifteen
years older, and it shows. Hair worn short and turning
prematurely gray, face lined, eyes sunken and lifeless.
JOHN
Shit. I had a nightmare.
John sits up, drenched in sweat, looks at his wife, PEGGY.
A cigarette dangles from Peggys lips, and curlers grow from
her head. Dressed in an ugly flannel nightgown, its hard
to believe she was EVER beautiful. Hard to imagine John
choosing her over Cathy.
PEGGY
Yeah. You overslept, too. Youre
gonna be late for work if you dont
get a move on.
Jack shakes away the last of the nightmare, grabs a shower.
INT. BATHROOM -- MORNING
Jack turns on the shower, steps under the water.
INT. KITCHEN -- MORNING
John, dressed in his conservative business suit, looks at
the empty Mr. Coffee pot.

JOHN
She didnt leave any for me.
John dumps the old grounds, rinses the carafe, grabs the can
of coffee from the fridge.
