Subject: Two Dweebs & A Little Monster- Part 3

Good morning:

NOTE: All this talk about Donna - how appropriate that Part 3 should
contain my first of two scenes with the lovely Mrs. Beckett. While I
may not necessarily agree with the "married Sam" scenario, I like to
work with it. Let me know if you agree with the way I've incorporated
her into this story.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
PAGE TWELVE

Panel one
ACTION:	They reach the gas station  and Len opens the Men's Room door as
Sam saunters in.

1 LEN:	No funny business. I'll be right here.

2 SAM:	Funny business? Some fun.

Panel two
ACTION:	Inside the bathroom, while locking the door, Sam spies a small
window just above the toilet. NO DIALOGUE.

Panel three
ACTION:	Sam stands on the seat, opening the window. He  starts to scramble
out. Glare from the Imaging Chamber door shines from th side of the panel. 

3 AL (o.p.):	Sam! Stop!

4 SFX:	WHOOOOSSH!

Panel four
ACTION:	Sam is startled and almost falls in the bowl. Al reaches out to
help, but Sam melts right through his hands.

5 SAM (BURST):	AHH!

Panel five
ACTION:	Sam is not a pretty sight: mad at Al, dripping wet and a sore
bottom add up to one pissed-off scientist.

6 SAM:	What's your problem, Al? I'm try to get out of here.  Len's outside.
Now's the perfect opportunity. 

7 AL:	Ziggy says if you continue this scenario, there's a  98.4 percent
chance Bobby gets away and is reunited with his parents.

8 SAM:	I thought that was the point!

9 AL:	But Len and Joe escape and continue kidnapping.  At least twelve more
babies were sold before the Wallace Brothers were finally caught -- or
stopped, I should say.

10 SAM:	What do you mean?

11 AL:	There was a shoot-out. One officer,  Len and Joe were killed. Two
other officers were wounded. 

Panel six
ACTION:	Another angle. Sam starts to take off his clothes to get clean.

12 SAM:	So,  I have to get them to stop this nonsense?

Panel six (continued)

13 AL:	You have to make sure Len and Joe are captured.

14 SAM:	Might be little difficult being a baby and all.

15 AL:	How's "Operation: Red Chief "  working?

16 SAM:	Great. Joe still thinks I'm just a baby and Len's so wound up, he's
going to bust a spring. 

17 AL:	Well, don't lose sight of them.  You have to find  a way to get them
captured-- peacefully.

18 SAM:	Have Ziggy help figure out a fast way. I'm going to be momentarily 
detained.

19 AL:	You haven't changed yet?

Panel seven
ACTION:	Sam gives him a glare and a finger of warning. Al fingers the
remote as his door reappears.

20 AL:	I'm out of here.

21 SFX:	VROOOOSH

22 SAM:	And no jokes! If this ever got out--

23 AL:	Too late. The Project's been in hysterics all  morning. We thought
Gooshie  was going to have an accident, he was laughing so hard.  Okay! I'm
gone. "Bottoms up"!
 PAGE THIRTEEN

Panel one
ACTION:	Sam swats the empty space, while giving his pants a mournful,
squinty-eyed look. 

1 SAM:	And I thought nude Hamlet was embarrassing.

2 LEN (from door):	Would you hurry up?

3 SAM:	In a minute, bub. Geeze. Yuk. 

4 LEN (from door):	If you're not finished in--

Panel two
ACTION:	Outside, Len, leaning against the door, looks at his watch.  Joe
walks up, hands buried in his pockets, head down, eyes darting.

5 JOE:	Who ya talkin' to?

6 LEN:	The midget.

7 JOE:	Midget?

8 LEN:	Yeah. I figure he's some circus midget out for laughs.

9 JOE:	You gone completely loony? It's a baby. You know...diapers,
bassinets, rattles. 

10 LEN:	I swear, this guy's a regular Joe.

Panel three
ACTION:	Joe starts knocking on Len's head.

11 JOE:	Hello! Len - I'M JOE!


12 LEN:	Cut it out.  I'm tellin' ya... that ain't no baby.

13 JOE:	I give up. Let's go. Car's inside.  They're already stripping it.

Panel four
ACTION:	He pulls out the ten. Len's eyes light up.

14 JOE:	In the mood for falafels?

15 LEN:	He's going for it?

16 JOE:	This is just an advance. He says the baby market could bring in
thousands of dollars. Now how do you feel about giving up the brat?

17 LEN;	Good riddance.

Panel five
ACTION:	Sam opens the door, and saunters out. His legs are still askew, but
this time because his shorts are soaking wet and wrinkled from being rung. 
Joe puts his arm around Sam.

18 SAM:	Someone mention me?

19 LEN:	There! There! Did you hear that?

20 JOE:	Enough already, Len.

21 SAM:	Da-da?

22 JOE:	See? He's just a baby--your'e scaring  him.  Let's go. Hungry, kid?


23 SAM:	'nilna

24 JOE:	Hear that? He wants vanilla ice cream.

25 LEN:	All I heard was "kill ya."

Panel six
ACTION:	Joe takes Sam by the hand, Len reluctantly takes the other. Sam
squeezes the heck out of Len's fingers.

26 JOE:	Cool it, Len. Grab his other hand while we cross the street.

27 LEN:	Ahhh! Little devil's fingers are like a vise.

28 JOE:	Next you'll be telling me he quotes Shakespeare.  C'mon.

29 SAM:	Pity, like a naked new born babe striding the blast. I have no spur
to prick the sides of my intent, but only vaulting ambition, which o'er
leaps itself, and falls on the other.

30 LEN:	I'll give you a spur!

Panel seven
ACTION:	Len can't stand it and tries to take a shoe to Sam's bottom. He
misses and accidently hits both Sam and Len. 

Panel eight
ACTION:	Joe glares at Len. Sam silently laughs, his mouth in a side-smile.
Len is resolved to his fate.

31 JOE:	You jerk! You trying to get us caught?

32 JOE:	Take the kid back to Big Ben's. I'll get the food and meet you
there. 

33 LEN:	Please don't make me take the kid, Joe. He's evil.  I swear it!
EVIL!

34 JOE (small wavy balloon):	I don't have time for this crap.

 PAGE FOURTEEN

Panel one
ACTION:	As if Sam were made of pure electricity, Len grabs Sam by the
suspenders and steers him back to the auto body shop.  Joe heads across the
street for fast food. 

Panel two
ACTION:	Len's eyes suddenly widen at something heading toward him

Panel three
ACTION:	He pulls Sam roughly behind a dumpster in the parking lot, his hand
clamping Sam's mouth shut.

1 LEN (whisper):	One word, one squirm, I'll blow your damn brains out. 

Panel four
ACTION:	Sam realizes Len has pulled a gun to his temple.  Len peeks from
behind, and we see a patrol car drive by.  Sam's shoulders slump - his
chance to get the two nabbed is driving away. Len's shoulders heave in
panic.  Katerich is driving. Behind him, we can see  Bruce and Mary. All
three are scanning the roads. 

2 KATRICH:	--because you  left the keys in the ignition.

Panel five
ACTION:	From inside the patrol car, Bruce gives his wife a sour look. She
retaliates.

3 MARY:	I may have left Bobby, but you're the one who forgot the keys.

4 BRUCE:	Why do you think I took so long getting back--.?

5 KATERICH:	As I was saying--it's a safe bet this wasn't intended  as a
kidnapping. 

6 MARY:	They didn't want Bobby?

7 KATERICH:	I don't think he was part of the plan. They were  probably just
going for the car. These auto body shops are notorious for fast work.  If
you see the same car model, but different car  color, let me know. 

Panel six
ACTION:	Another angle on Katerich, Mary and Bruce. The parents are feeling
the strain of the past hours.

8 MARY:	What are our chances of finding Bobby?

9 KATERICH:	The longer it takes, the greater the odds get--against us. 

10 BRUCE:	Maybe we should split up.

11 KATERICH:	I don't think your wife's in any shape and we do have a
sizable task force on the look out. Plus we got his picture to the local
television stations.

12 MARY:	Wherever he is - I hope they're taking care of him.

13 BRUCE:	So do I.
 PAGE FIFTEEN

Panel one
ACTION:	Left inset panel. Al is conferring with Gooshie and Ziggy in the
Control Room.

1 CAPTION: 	Stallion's Gate, New Mexico -- September  9, 1999.

2 AL:	--so, even if he gets them captured everyone still dies?

3 ZIGGY (electronic):	Unable to accurately project. There is a flux in the
time streams.

4 AL:	Hypothesize.

ZIGGY (electronic):	At present, I am more concerned with Doctor Alisee than
Doctor Beckett.

AL:	Donna? Where is she?

GOOSHIE:	She's been in the Waiting Room since you left.

Panel two
ACTION:	Right inset panel. Al starts heading for a hallway. Gooshie
follows. There is a ripple of red in Ziggy's blue glow. 

AL:	I'll be right back.

GOOSHIE:	I'm coming with you.

Panel three
ACTION:	Semi-splash panel. Al's demeanor is tight and concerned as he 
stops in front of a door labeled "WAITING ROOM" and places his palm on a
side panel. The door is open. Gooshie runs up behind him. Over Al's
shoulder, we see a bare, white room with one blue wall. A lone figure sits
in a rocking chair holding a small child.  It's Donna and Bobby. She rocks
back and forth, but at an angle where she can't see Al standing at the
door. Bobby sucks his thumb and clings to a lock of her hair. Donna
methodically rubs his back and hums softly.  Al is momentarily mesmerized
by this "Madonna and Child" sight and takes a weary breath. 

GOOSHIE:	She won't let anyone else hold him. 

AL:	Think she's getting maternal?

GOOSHIE:	Or lonely.

AL:	I wish we could bring him back--

Panel four
ACTION:	Close on Donna and the child. Her eyes are closed as she continues
rocking. 

AL (off panel):	--if for no one else, but her. 

GOOSHIE (off panel):	You have to admit--

Panel five
ACTION:	Refocus past Donna and the baby to the mirror behind them. We see
the back of Donna's head, the rocking chair and Sam, sucking his thumb,
peacefully sleeping on his wife's shoulder.  It's all at once sad, silly,
and sweet.

16 CAPTION:	"--it's a funny sight, though."

Panel six
ACTION:	Still on Sam's boyish face, but he's sleeping on a sofa.

BIG BEN (off panel):	I've called the brokers. They'll be here soon.
