Yeah I'm back. I also got a job. That might mean I won't be able to update more often but I will when I can.
If you have a request of a movie you would like me to do let me know. I own Nothing!
Firefly: Ok people once more with feeling.
TV
THE ROAD WARRIOR is playing on video cassette. The big chase at the end.
FAMILY ROOM. Shawn
He's sitting in the arm chair pretending it's Humongous' war wagon. He's wearing a hockey mash. He's steering. He reaches down and grabs an imaginary nitrous oxide valve.

29 CU. FLOWERING TREE BRANCH 29
Outside a bedroom window. A flowering crabtree branch. Petite pink flowers. WE PULL BACK FROM THE WINDOW INTO THE ROOM. It's Mickie's room. A pink and powder blue pig pen. Clothes everywhere, make-up, books, records. Shawn is sitting on her bed going through a purse.
Shawn: This is really degrading.
He comes up with a crumpled dollar bill.
Shawn: Financing my activities this way. Very damaging to the self-image. But, hey, I'm broke. In times of crisis one must to what one must to. I'll pay it back. With interest.
He comes up with a five.
Shawn: Regardless of how much shit sisters make you eat, how often they rat on you, how gross they act or how wicked and insensitive they can be, you should not alientate them. Because most likely they have cash and it's usually very easy to get your hands on.
He holds up a twenty and snaps it. PINK FLOYD'S "MONEY" COMES UP.
LIVING ROOM
The song plays as Shawn digs through the sofa cushions.
SOFA
Shawn extracts a sticky quarter from a crevice.
PARENTS' BEDROOM
Shawn is going through his father's pants pockets. Another crumpled bill surfaces.
WASHING MACHINE TOP
A couple of stiff, hard, bleached singles that have gone through the wash lay on top of the washer. A hand scoops them up.
Hunter: You know, he is finding money in the oddest places.
Firefly: You like saying that word, don't you?
Hunter: What word?
Firefly: Odd.
Hunter: Yes.
LUCITE ENCASED PROOF SET
An obvious gift from a grandparent. A U.S. Mint proof set. A ten, a five and a single enclosed in a lucite frame. A screwdriver tip wedges between the two pieces of Lucite and pops them apart. A hand peels the bills off the backing.
KITCHEN DRAWER
Hands ripping through the kitchen junk drawer. Locating a dollar bill.
COIN COLLECTION
The familiar blue collector's album. One-by-one, the quarters are being popped out of their slots.
VACCUUM CLEANER
The dusty, dirty contents of the bag are emptied on the floor. Fingers pick a dime out of a matted wad of filth.
SNOOPY BANK
It's being shaken furiously.
BIRTHDAY CARD
It's a child's card. It's slowly opened to reveal a crisp, new five.
HALL CLOSET
The door opens and Shawn thrusts his hands into the pockets of the coats. He comes up with a ball of Kleenex. A roll of Tums. A squirt gun. Then a modest wad of bills. His face lights up as he counts out the cash. He closes the door.
FLOOR AND BED
Shawns' face appears between the bed and the floor. His arm reaches out for a small metal bank hidden under the bed.
Firefly: I'm shocked.
Hunter: Why?
Firefly: Not that many interuptions.
Hunter: Your right. I'll do better next time.
R/R bye.
