[COMMERCIAL BUMPER: Purple-tinted slow-motion repeat of TRENT kissing DARIA]

[INTERLUDE: American Pie by Don McLean]

[MONTAGE:]

TRENT and DARIA sitting in the Plymouth eating some sort of burger and chip concoction. It is
night.

DARIA walking down the halls of Lawndale High with JANE talking. Both suddenly turn around, as
if in shock. Through a nearby window we see TRENT and the Plymouth, he's leaning against it with
a smirk/grin. DARIA flushes then vanishes. JANE sighs and leans against nearby locker watching.
Seconds later, DARIA appears and is caught by TRENT who kisses her soundly. Scene flashes over
to BRITANNY, JODIE and MACK who look shocked and amused. Scene flashes to QUINN who looks
shocked but happy. Scene flashes to Sandi who looks disgusted, Stacy who is smiling with tears
in her eyes and TIFFANI who has a expression 'Oh. Is that all? What's so strange about that?' on
her face.

TRENT and DARIA sitting in Pizza King with JANE and TOM on the other side. Both couples are
oblivious to each other. DARIA is smiling and staring up at TRENT who seems equally smitten.
JESSE nervously approaches. He says something and TRENT looks up angrily. DARIA touches his arm
and TRENT calms down. JESSE sits down.

DARIA reading something out in TIMOTHY O'NEIL's class.

O'NEIL sobbing in the teacher's lounge with an irritated D'MARTINO and a surprised BARCH. In the
background, the trees are loosing their leaves.

background, there is snow on the ground.

NICK yelling at TRENT.

TRENT sitting on the couch, DARIA sitting helplessly next to him looking miserable.

TRENT in his room, slowly picking up his guitar (it is pretty obvious he hasn't practised with it
in a while).

DARIA reading something out in TIMOTHY O'NEIL's class.

O'NEIL sobbing in the teacher's lounge with an irritated D'MARTINO and a surprised BARCH. The
snow is slightly deeper. Some students are outside throwing snowballs at each other with MS LI
encouraging a group of students who are shovelling paths through the snow.

DARIA sitting in TRENT's room as he plays his guitar. The look on her face screams: 'He's
terrible but I love him anyway'

JANE reading something out in TIMOTHY O'NEIL's class. O'NEIL looks shocked with tears trembling
in his eyes.

O'NEIL sobbing in the teacher's lounge with a surprised D'MARTINO and an irritated BARCH. In the
background it's raining.

DARIA sitting in TRENT's room, his music is improving. DARIA is writing something on a legal pad
as she listens. TRENT is staring at her with a solemn look on his face.

O'NEIL sobbing in the teacher's lounge with an irritated D'MARTINO and a surprised BARCH. In the
background, the sun is shining and it's the beginning of spring. There is a basket of easter
eggs sitting on the table D'MARTINO is perched on.

In TIMOTHY O'NEIL's classroom, the senior class is waiting impatiently for their teacher, DARIA,
JANE and JODIE among them. DARIA is writing something. JANE looks over her shoulder, it's a
sheet of music.

DARIA hands TRENT the same sheet of music. As she turns away TRENT smiles at her affectionately.

JODIE reading something out in O'NEIL's class. O'NEIL has tears pouring down his face and runs
out before JODIE finishes.

O'NEIL clutching D'MARTINO as he cries - D'MARTINO is trying to get away but can't. BARCH looks
amused.

TRENT, JESSE, MAX and NICK playing in the Lane's basement. DARIA is sitting on the basement
stairs, a pleased look on her face. TRENT is staring at DARIA as he sings, she looks flattered.


Time lapse - DARIA, realising the song lyrics, look bemused and a little uncertain.

Time lapse - TRENT, JESSE, MAX and NICk are playing in the Lane basement with DARIA in attendence
- she's looking bored and a trifle depress.

TIMOTHY O'NEIL stepping uncertainly into his class, sees DARIA, JODIE and JANE and runs out.

O'NEIL sobbing in the teacher's lounge - this time without D'MARTINO and BARCH. MS DEFOE appears
in the doorway looking as if she's being pushed.

[VIEW FROM BEHIND] DEFOE is being pushed into the lounge by D'MARTINO and BARCH.

happy.

hurt.

Mystic Spiral playing at the daytime pub they had played at before, this time to cheering
teenagers and annoyed looking regulars.

DARIA sitting outside the school waiting for TRENT. JANE is standing beside her looking angry.

TRENT drives up to the entrance of Lawndale High. DARIA is sitting on the steps, she is
absolutely emotionless - a change from previous scenes - JANE is pacing. The sun is setting
rather than high as in previous scenes. TRENT walks out and apologises to DARIA. JANE yells at
TRENT. DARIA says something, JANE shakes her head then runs home. TRENT kisses DARIA who's face
is expressionless. The two get into the plymouth and drive off.

Mystic Spiral is playing at McGrundy's. DARIA is sitting at a table, looking bored and rather
lonely as TRENT sings. This time he can't see her because of the standing crowd of cheering
teens. From where she's seating, DARIA can see him leaning with the mike, crowd-serenading to a
patch of pretty Goth girls.
