Guest Cast:

Formatting: The main differences between the way the episodes are presented here and true script format are that on this website, everything is left-justified, while script format has specific block-margins for dialog, etc., and that scripts are still traditionally printed in Courier (monospace) font. These episodes are also available on my Popular website (link is in my info) if you would like to read them as though they were printed scripts.
Legal whatchamacallit: Pre-existing "Popular" characters and situations are ©1999-2001 Touchstone Television, et al. For what it's worth, original material is ©2001-2010 by yours truly, the Wild Pikachu. Please don't steal this without asking first.

TEASER
FADE IN:
INT. MCQUEEN LIVING ROOM - AFTERNOON
Fleischer is huddled with his cell phone; Harrison is
fidgeting, looking lost; and Sam is taking in the scene with a
faint air of disgust. Meanwhile, Jane takes Mike by the arm
and pulls him aside.
JANE
(low)
Mike, how COULD you?
MIKE
It wasn't even in the house.
JANE
It was close enough! How did
Brooke even know where it was?
MIKE
Brooke's always known.
JANE
If I'D known, I'd've insisted you
throw it in the ocean.
MIKE
I know.
Fleischer snaps his cell phone shut, which gets everyone's
attention. Mike and Jane step back into the group.
FLEISCHER
Okay, it's going to take them a
few minutes to set this up.
He turns to Harrison.
FLEISCHER (CONT'D)
Are you ready?
HARRISON
Uh—y-yeah.
FLEISCHER
Okay.
HARRISON
Uh...what if—what if it doesn't
work?
FLEISCHER
(grimacing)
Let's not think about that.
CUT TO:
EXT. KENNEDY HIGH ATHLETIC FIELD
On the grassy knoll overlooking the field, Brooke is sitting
cross-legged, methodically loading bullets into the chambers
of the revolver, when, from over her shoulder:
CLARENCE (O.S.)
You really don't want to do that,
Brooke.
Brooke whips her head around, to find Clarence sitting on his
haunches next to her.
WHITE OUT.
