The police run to seize the men. Panel two ACTION: Mary runs to 'scoop' Bobby in her arms, oblivious to the gun. She smothers him with kisses. Sam's lopsided grin gets his holographic friend laughing. MARY: Oh, baby. Mommy's so sorry! AL: You did again, Sam. Len, Joe and Ben get prison, but Len is out in just a year. He uses his time to-- SAM: What? AL: Study law. He's a defense lawyer back in Iowa. SAM: A lawyer? Panel three ACTION: AL: His daughter, Terry, had been left with relatives but was then shuffled between foster homes. Now she's happily married and has a career in--of course, law with her dad. By the by, you'll love the tabloids. SAM: Tabloids? AL: Ben couldn't keep his mouth shut and Bobby is headlined as an alien baby who "Captures Crooks with Karate, Knows Future." Panel four ACTION: Sam turns to see the hand-cuffed gang of three stuffed into the back of a patrol car. Mary continues to smother Sam in her bosom while, Katerich and Bruce are speechless - drop-jawed. SAM (a la Bogie): See ya in eight to ten boys. AL: Stuns 'em every time. Panel five ACTION: Sam and Mary are eye-ball to eye-ball again. MARY: Boo-Boo? SAM: Mama? Panel six ACTION: Though the men are still speechless, Mary just chalks it up to hearing voices again. Sam hands her the gun. MARY: Thanks, Sweetie. Here, Pete. Panel seven ACTION: Without looking, Mary hands the gun to an open mouthed Katerich. While she turns Sam around. MARY: Now lets check your diapers, young man. Panel eight ACTION: With panic in his eyes, Sam starts backing away from her searching fingers. Fortunately for our hero, the bottom half of Sam is in Leap effect. SAM: Oh, no! AAAALLLL!!! LEAP OUT PAGE TWENTY-THREE Panel one ACTION: Back at the room with Donna. The form she's holding which contained little Bobby, is now in a leap effect. Sam still has his thumb in his mouth. NO DIALOGUE. Panel two ACTION: Tight on Donna as a single tear rolls down her cheek. Panel three ACTION: Sam and Bobby are no longer there. The body is comatose during this in-between leap stage. The thumb has fallen from the mouth. Behind her we see the door is open and a young 32 year old woman standing in the frame. She is a brunette with long tresses pulled back in a band. She wears a lab coat. There are slight wisps of a white streak in her pulled-back bangs. Panel four ACTION: Donna is clutching Sam's body tight. The woman puts her hand on Donna's shoulder and bends in. SAMMY-JO: Dr. Alysi? We must put Dr. Beckett's body back in prep. DONNA: He's gone again. SAMMY-JO: I know. This must be hard for you, but I promise we'll get him back. Panel five ACTION: The two woman look at each other. Profile shot. DONNA: I know you will, Dr. Fuller. I know you will. Panel six ACTION: The final shot is a close on Al, who is now in the doorway. He looks pained, knowing but unable to speak. Knowing Dr. Sammy-Jo Fuller is Sam's daughter. Knowing that Dr. Donna Alysi is Sam's wife. And knowing he can't tell either of them. END -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- An alternate ending to this was to have Sam/Bobby leap out and in his place would be nothing. If we take the opening lines literally - his body "vanished" when he stepped into the accelerator and would continue to do so between subsequent leaps. Any opinions either way? Let me know.
