FADE IN:

INT. SHOP - DAY

Edna's Edibles bustles with activity as NATALIE and TOOTIE arrange pumpkins and Indian corncobs, while MRS GARRETT sets up signs and other festive autumn decorations. JO sets tables with condiments and placemats.

JO
You expect a big turnout with this sale, Missuz Gee?
GARRETT
Positive. My prize-winning pies are sure to bring in customers.
And just in time for the holidays.
JO
What kinds do you bake?
GARRETT
Cherry, pecan, pumpkin, and of course my famous apple pies--those won a blue ribbon at the Wisconsin State Fair.
JO
That reminds me. There's an article in the paper about a warning
by the Eff-Dee-Ay not to buy certain apples. They've got a cancer-causing pesticide in them.
GARRETT
Which kinds of apples?

Jo scans the paper.

JO
It says here...Red Pippins.
GARRETT
I wouldn't worry about it. I don't use Red Pippins.
TOOTIE
I don't see why Blair isn't here to help us. Right at the last minute, before a big sale, she says she's got to go on a date with
Cliff. Does she expect pumpkins to sprout legs and walk to their
settings?
NATALIE
No, but her fairy godmother turned one into a coach and told her to be back by midnight.
GARRETT
This is a special day for Blair. She and Cliff met each other a year ago today and they're celebrating.
TOOTIE
Oh, sure--did she clear it up with you? Did she ask permission to not risk busting a fingernail to help shuffle pumpkins?
NATALIE
Tootie, shut up and shuffle.
GARRETT
Yes, Tootie, I gave her permission. I have plenty of help with the three of you.

SFX: DOORBELL as CLIFF enters.

CLIFF
Hi. Is Blair ready?
JO
She's putting Windex on her glass slipper.
GARRETT
Hello, Cliff. Blair will be down shortly. Would you care for a snack
while you're waiting?
CLIFF
No thanks. I just brushed my teeth.
JO
Have a treat or you'll hurt her feelings.
CLIFF
Well...maybe just a little.

Mrs. Garrett holds up a tray of brownies.

GARRETT
How about one of my fudge brownie?
CLIFF
Sure.

She scoops up one with a cake knife and onto a plate.

TOOTIE
Wait a minute--won't he have to pay for that?
GARRETT
Tootie, he's family.
TOOTIE
And what are we?
JO
The hired help.
TOOTIE
I demand emancipation--for all people like me.
NATALIE
What? Whiny and annoying?

Shelley · 12-08-2002, 11:11 PM

It's wonderful!

ABlairican Pie · 12-08-2002, 11:23 PM

BLAIR parades out from a hallway door, in an casual yet elegant dress.

BLAIR
How do I look?
(Notices Cliff)
Cliff!

She races to him. They embrace.

CLIFF
I'd kiss you, but I just ate one of Missus Garrett's brownies.

Mrs. Garrett stares at him, shocked and offended.

CLIFF
I mean, I just brushed my teeth and my breath is all fudgy.
BLAIR
(leering at him vampishly)
Kiss me, you fool.

They do, lingeringly.

GARRETT
So where are you two off to today?
BLAIR
We decided to go out for a little shopping, then stop for a cappuccino at Yvette's on Main, then some shopping before lunch,
then some last minute shopping before dinner and a movie.
JO
Blair Warner, the Tammy Faye of the coed group.
BLAIR
(to Cliff)
Is that right--dinner, then a movie?
CLIFF
That's fine with me.
TOOTIE
And then what, after the movie?
NATALIE
Tootie, stifle yourself.
CLIFF
Umm...then they roll the credits.
BLAIR
We won't have time to watch them. We're going up to Lookout Drive.
TOOTIE
What's up there?
NATALIE
Can it, Tootie.
(to Blair and Cliff)
What is up there?
CLIFF
I don't know, but we'll let you know when we find it.
(to Blair)
Are you ready, monkey?
BLAIR
Ready when you are, Tarzan.
GARRETT
Have her back by a reasonable hour, Jungle Boy, or the natives here will be getting restless.

Blair and Cliff exit.

(continued)

ABlairican Pie · 12-08-2002, 11:39 PM

TOOTIE
Isn't that the most romantic thing, two young people--children --for a whole year adrift in the sea of love...
NATALIE
Tootie, I think you saw too many showings of "The Blue Lagoon."
TOOTIE
Wasn't Brooke Shields adorable in it?
JO
I don't know. It sounds fakey that two kids who live like bratty brother and sister all their lives would end up with lovey-dubby in their eyes. They couldn't have been serenaded by their hormones that quickly.
TOOTIE
But being lost on a desert isle with no one but each other...isn't there something so romantic about it?
NATALIE
Two kids couldn't have looked good for ten years, they'd be wearing palm leaves and combing their hair with crab legs.
TOOTIE
You two just have no sentimentality.
JO
How's this for sentimentality--you and Jeff on Pago Pago, he has
to take care of you after sharks munch your arms off in a feeding frenzy.

She hands Tootie a pumpkin.

JO
Take this while you got them.

EXT. STREET - DAY

Blair and Cliff happily frolick down a street with many fancy shops.
Though the streets are slick with rainwater, they playfully SPLASH
each other with sunny smiles across their cheeks and LAUGH in amusement.

CLIFF
Come on, Blair, I can hardly catch up.
BLAIR
We don't want to miss the sale at Tiffany's, do we?
CLIFF
What's the hot item at Tiffany's?
BLAIR
We are, and Blair Warner never misses a sale.
CLIFF
Anything special that she'd have to drag her prospective future
husband there for?
BLAIR
Take your pick, I can put it on my charge card.
CLIFF
By the way, where's my umbrella?
BLAIR
You had it a while ago. I can charge for a new one for you.
CLIFF
I think I left it in that last store. I better go back and get it.
BLAIR
(glancing skyward)
Please hurry, it might rain again soon.

He leaves in the opposite direction. Blair waits on the corner patiently, when she notices a young long-haired man, JEREMY, handing out flyers to PASSERSBY with little success. She turns away as he approaches her.
JEREMY
Hi!
BLAIR
Hi...
JEREMY
Excuse me, but do you know when the next bus headed to Langley College gets here?
BLAIR
Er...No, sorry, I don't.

She scans the area this way and that, when her eyes fall on the brightly colored flyers in his hands.

BLAIR
(points to flyers)
So, are you advertising for a new restaurant?
JEREMY
Yeah. Cafe Heaven. It's been around for years, but not too many
people go there.
BLAIR
Cafe Heaven...I've never heard of it. Maybe me and my boyfriend
should go there tonight. Is it any good?
JEREMY
It sure is. Would you like a flyer?
BLAIR
Sure.

He hands her several flyers. As she looks at them her smile fades. She shoots him a leery glance.
JEREMY
So have you ever thought what the whole point of life is all about?

Blair LAUGHS.

BLAIR
You're a philosophy major, aren't you?

He stares at her, eyeing her curiously. No joke.

JEREMY
No. What do you think it is?

(continued)

ABlairican Pie · 12-09-2002, 11:55 PM

BLAIR
Well...live a good life, do good to your fellow man, be at peace with God...Stop and smell the roses!
(she CHUCKLES)
JEREMY
That other part. Do you feel you're at peace with God?
BLAIR
(tongue-tied)
Umm...yes...
(gives a dubious nod)
JEREMY
Is he part of your everyday life?

Blair glances about nervously, checks her watch and looks up and down the street. Where is Cliff? Where is that bus?

BLAIR
Well...I try...
JEREMY
Listen, before I go, can I leave you with some tracts? They're all about how you can find a new life in God, and they tell all about our church.

He thrusts a handful into her hands. She grabs them at once, as if to get the whole thing over and done with.

BLAIR
Er... thank you...
JEREMY
Our church isn't some boring old museum that'll put you to sleep.
It's alive and it'll make God real to you! Once you come, you'll want to come every day!
BLAIR
Sure. I'll take a look at these. Thanks.
JEREMY
Hope to see you there!

He leaves. Blair shakes her head, CHUCKLES at the incredulous
pitch. She thumbs through a tract.

BLAIR
Some people try a little too hard to impress Blair Warner...
(READS ALOUD)
"Are you missing something in your life?"--Ha ha, a pair of pantyhose that can stay up longer than I can, duh!--"Are you happy, laughing, confident on the outside but miserable, frustrated, crying on the inside?"--Bring on the violins! Hah!

She SLAPS the tract against a lamppost.

BLAIR
Ho, brother! "Have you considered--"

Her LAUGHTER stops abruptly, her tone softens.

BLAIR
"--God's love?"

She sets the tract down, emotion crossing her eyes. She picks it up and reads on.

BLAIR
"He can fill that void, heal the hurts, and bring you into a new fresh, exciting relationship you've never had before. He gives the
love only a father can give..."

She looks up, eyes glistening.

FADE TO MONTAGE OF FLASHBACKS:

1. Blair's check from her father as Jo looks on.

BLAIR
That was my...father.

3. Her father's note attached with the rose apologizing for not
being able to attend her graduation as her mother LASHES
OUT.

4. Blair with Mrs. Garrett .

BLAIR
I can tell you the day God died. July Fourteenth, Nineteen Seventy-three. The day my parents' divorce became final.

BACK TO SCENE

BLAIR
(READING ON)
"Perhaps you have never lived in a home where there was a father who loved you. Come to House of Faith church, where you will be surrounded by a Heavenly Father's love..."

Blair's eyes mist at this. Tears trickle down her cheeks as she gazes on.

CLIFF
Blair!

Cliff's voice startles her. She quickly stuffs the tracts into her purse.

(continued)

MrsGarrettRocksMySocks · 12-10-2002, 12:20 AM

interesting...

ABlairican Pie · 12-10-2002, 11:18 PM

CLIFF
Would you believe I almost had to pay to get my umbrella
back? The people in the store thought I was shoplifting it! I got into a big fuss with the clerks, the security--and the store manager just to prove it was mine, bought and paid for!

He looks at Blair, whose starry eyes gaze off in the distance.

CLIFF
Blair? Did you hear me?
BLAIR
(snapping to attention)
Hmm?--Oh--yes...
CLIFF
I'm never shopping there again! I was so mad I just about ran into that guy with the restaurant flyers back there. I nearly hit him with my umbrella.

BLAIR
I'll talk to the manager about that. Let's take your mind off the store with some lunch.

Blair holds out her hand.

BLAIR
Raindrops again. Let's go before we get soaked.

They hurry down the street as the rain picks up.

FADE TO:

ABlairican Pie · 12-10-2002, 11:53 PM

INT. CHURCH - NIGHT

We see a large room filled with conservatively dressed CHURCHGOERS milling about carrying on CONVERSATIONS and LAUGHING, etc. In the center of the b.g. stands a wide black piano and a podium, and in front are several rows of folding
chairs.

DOORWAY

The door opens and in steps Blair, in a summery-style skirt, hesitating before entering further. She glances about nervously, then slowly creeps in, cringing at the totally unfamiliar
surroundings. Jeremy slips through the crowd and waves to her.

JEREMY
Praise be, sister! We're glad you're here!

He strides up to her and hugs her. Blair's eyes light up in shock
at this bold move, but she gently hugs him back.

BLAIR
Er...thank you. And, um..."praise be."

A young man in black slacks and white shirt, KEN, steps up to them. He shyly offers his hand to Blair to shake.

KEN
Hi. My name is Ken. My father is the pastor. What is your name?
BLAIR
Blair. Blair Warner.
(shakes his hand warmly)
KEN
Blair. That's a very lovely name.
BLAIR
Why, thank you.

Blair gushes coyly and CHUCKLES over this. Ken hangs his head down with sudden shame. She gazes at him, puzzled by his response. A brawny, silver-haired man, REVEREND WYMAN, steps up to them.

WYMAN
Why, hello, little lady. It seems like my son has found a friend.
BLAIR
Blair. Blair Warner. Pleased to meet you.

She vigorously shakes his hand.

WYMAN
Reverend Wyman. Have you been attending here long?
BLAIR
This is my first time.

(continued)

ABlairican Pie · 12-11-2002, 12:11 AM

WYMAN
Well, we can assure you that you'll never be the same after attening one of our services. This church is dedicated to edifying the total man--and woman --and equipping him--and her --with everything necessary for a godly, spiritual life.
BLAIR
(beaming)
I can tell...I'm going to feel good here.
WYMAN
You'll do more than that. You'll be transformed here, I guarantee.

He grins broadly as PIANO MUSIC and SINGING pipes up. Wyman leaves for the pulpit and Ken follows with Blair in tow. They take their chairs up front and pick up a hymnal together. They JOIN IN
the joyous singing, occasionally making eye contact--smiling as if sharing an unspoken secret.
