FADE IN:
EXT. Looking up at the starry sky - NIght
We see a star that is slowly moving across a background of unmoving stars,
perhaps like a satellite. Then it starts heading toward us and appears to
brighten.
ROLL CREDITS
CUT TO:
EXT. outer space - cONTINUOUS
We are behind the bright light now and see that it is heading toward Earth. We
watch as it slowly descends into Earth's atmosphere.
CUT TO:
EXT. a two-lane desert highway - dAY
A charter bus is moving down the highway. It slows and turns onto a lesser-paved
road. The bus continues and finally arrives at it destination, a dead end at a
modern-looking visitors' center. The bus door opens and the PASSENGERS (mostly
young women) exit and approach a FEMALE PARK RANGER who is waiting for them. She
is wearing a name badge that says "Donna." Behind her we see the entrance to the
center and parked out in front, behind a roped-off area, is Nancy Archer's
convertible.
END CREDITS
Donna
(in a
mechanical and wooden way like she has done this a thousand times)
Hello! And welcome to the Nancy
Cobb Archer Visitors Center and Historic Landmark. I'm Donna. Since it opened,
this center has entertained and enlightened over 200,000 people such as
yourselves,
(pointing to everyone)
who have come here to better
understand the life of one special woman. Step this way, won't you?
Donna turns and heads into the center, beckoning the others to join her. They
all follow her into the center.
CUT TO:
INT. a darkened theater with movie screen - cONTINUOUS
Everyone takes a seat and Donna stands in front of the room. On the wall is a
night photograph from low-angle of a gigantic Nancy Archer standing near some
high-tension wires. A spotlight shines on Donna.
Donna
Everybody comfy? Good. Please
remain seated at all times during the presentation. Keep your hands on the
armrests and your feet flat on the floor in front of you.
We see the audience getting ready by following her instructions.
DONNA
If you experience dizziness at any
time during the presentation, simply look away from the screen. And please, no
flash photography during the presentation. It's annoying and a complete waist of
film, okay? Everybody set?
Donna gives a big smiling wave to the projectionist. The spotlight goes out and
the film begins. We see the leader of the film count down, BEEP, and begin.
On film we see DR. LOEB, a very nerdish professor in a tweed jacket with elbow
patches, a matching vest, bow tie, and a pipe. He is seated at a desk and there
are science books and a microscope in a bookcase behind him. In the room are
various medical and scientific instruments.
Dr. Loeb
How do you do. My name is Doctor
Victor Loeb. In this modern supersonic age, it sometimes seems that we have lost
out capacity to be amazed.
He stands and comes around to the front of his desk.
DR. LOEB (CONT'D)
Science has made the miraculous
commonplace and we have become smug in our dominion over nature herself.
He walks over to stand next to a medical supply case.
DR. LOEB (CONT'D)
But I am well aware that there are
also among you the morbidly curious, who have been attracted by the more
provocative and, let's not mince words, lurid aspects of this case. Well, you
will not be disappointed. For this is, I must warn you, a shocking story. But it
is a story that must be told. So now prepare your minds for a new scale of
experience. And remember, everything you are about to see is absolutely true.
DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. a TWO-LANE DESERT HIGHWAY - dAY
We see NANCY ARCHER driving the convertible that was in the background at the
visitor's center. She is a tall blonde, busty and leggy; not too bright. She
completely conforms to the stereotype of a "trophy wife." She is wearing a
pendant that displays a monstrously huge 30-caret diamond. On her finger we see
a simple gold band wedding ring. Her blonde hair blows freely in the wind as she
drives.
Nancy archer (V.O.)
My story begins on a day not so
different from any other. I suppose it could have happened anytime to any woman.
Looking back now, I realize most my days were smothered in routine; safe,
predictable routine that felt so much like a life. Well, all that was about to
change.
Nancy picks up a car radiophone and presses out a number while she drives. It
rings.
Sylvia (O.S.)
Cobb enterprises.
NANCY ARCHER
Sylvia?
SYLVIA (O.S.)
Yes.
NANCY ARCHER
It's Mrs. Archer.
SYLVIA (O.S.)
Oh, hi!
NANCY ARCHER
I'm just calling to confirm dinner
with my father.
SYLVIA (O.S.)
Yes, he has it on his calendar,
Mrs. Archer, and I reminded him when he left to meet with the mayor.
NANCY ARCHER
Good. Can I speak with my husband,
please?
SYLVIA (O.S.)
(hesitantly)
Ah...he's...ah..I'm afraid he's
not in the office.
NANCY ARCHER
(confused)
Oh?
sYLVIA (O.S.)
I believe he mentioned a
meeting...ah...a meeting out of the office.
NANCY ARCHER
Do you know when he'll be back?
SYLVIA (O.S.)
(with
some compassion)
I don't know Mrs. Archer, he just
said that he had a meeting....somewhere.
NANCY ARCHER
Thanks.
SYLVIA (O.S.)
You're welcome, Mrs. Archer.
NANCY ARCHER
Bye.
SYLVIA (O.S.)
Bye.
Nancy hangs up the phone and drives on, a bit confused.
CUT TO:
EXT. Main road through town - cONTINUOUS
It is a sleepy little desert town with about a mile-long main drag. Hardly
anyone is on the streets. One who is, is MR. INGERSOL, a paunchy, middle-aged
shop-keeper who is putting up a small banner on the side of his store that says,
RELOCATING SOON TO `COBB ANTRIUM,' ANOTHER `COBB ENTERPRISES' DEVELOPMENT. Nancy
drives up to his shop, parks, exits her car and approaches him. He sees her and
smiles.
Mr. ingersol
Oh, hello Nancy.
NANCY ARCHER
(smiling)
Good morning, Mr. Ingersol. How
are you?
MR. INGERSOL
Fine. Yourself?
NANCY ARCHER
Fine thanks.
MR. INGERSOL
Good.
Nancy stops in front of the banner and looks it over.
MR. INGERSOL (CONT'D)
(gesturing to the banner)
Well, what do you think?
NANCY ARCHER
It's not going to feel the same
coming into town and not seeing your shop.
MR. INGERSOL
Progress, Nancy. Not much one man
can do to stop it. Well, I figure it's best for business. At least that's the
way your father explains it.
NANCY ARCHER
(with
resignation)
Yes, well, my father's good at
explaining things.
MR. INGERSOL
(noticing her huge diamond)
I don't know what shines brighter,
you or that pendant. I remember making it for your mother. I'm glad to see you
wearing it, she'd be so pleased to see it around your neck.
NANCY ARCHER
(a bit
self-consciously)
Thank you.
MR. INGERSOL
Well, I'd better get back to the
till.
NANCY ARCHER
Bye, Mr. Ingersol.
MR. INGERSOL
Bye, Nancy.
Nancy smiles to him as he leaves, but her smile turns to concern as she once
again looks at the banner. Nancy turns away and walks slowly, crossing the main
street to the other side.
NANCY ARCHER (V.O.)
I think I've got a pretty good
handle on most of the things in my life. I know that there are certain areas
where I'm having problems, I admit that, but I'm working on them and things can
change.
Nancy walks up to a door. On the door is a sign that says, THEODORA CUSHING,
Ph.D.
CUT TO:
INT. Dr. Cushing's office - mOMENTS LATER
It is a psychologist's office, wood paneled and nicely furnished in a homey,
non-threatening way. Nancy and Dr. Cushing sit in chairs facing each other.
There is a slowly turning ceiling fan and wooden blinds mute the light. DR.
CUSHING, the psychologist, is an attractive middle-aged woman who wears glasses
and dresses professionally.
NANCY ARCHER
When I confronted Harry, he said
he would stop; that he'd end the affair.
Dr. cushing
Have there been other affairs?
NANCY ARCHER
This is different. He loves me. He
really does. It's not easy being married to the boss' daughter. That's why I
have to be patient...Why it is important that I make life easier.
DR. CUSHING
Easier for whom?
NANCY ARCHER
Harry....My father....
DR. CUSHING
What about you?
NANCY ARCHER
What about me?
DR. CUSHING
What about making life easier for
yourself?
NANCY ARCHER
(appearing anxious)
I have to go.
DR. CUSHING
The hour isn't up.
NANCY ARCHER
I'm having dinner with my father.
He's on a tight schedule and he's expecting me.
Nancy stands up to go and we appreciate how tall she is. She opens her purse to
check inside and then clasps it shut pinching her finger. Suddenly her face
changes as she cries out and becomes enraged. She turns to hurl her purse, but
quickly regains control of herself.
DR. CUSHING
Nancy? Do you ever get angry?
NANCY ARCHER
(cautiously)
Everybody gets angry.
DR. CUSHING
What do you do when you get angry?
Nancy can't bring herself to answer.
CUT TO:
EXT. mAIN ROAD THROUGH TOWN - eVENING
Nancy drives out of town and onto a two-lane desert road. She is thinking about
what Dr. Cushing asked.
DR. CUSHING (V.O.)
(in
Nancy's thoughts)
Nancy, what do you do when you get
angry?
The further Nancy drives, the sadder she becomes. Suddenly, we see a BRIGHT
COLORED LIGHT reflecting off of her windshield...but it is only the neon sign to
TONY'S SHANGRA-LA, a local motel. Nancy pulls in and parks. She steps from her
car and looks at a black Porsche parked next to her. She walks over to it.
Realizing whose it is she becomes even more depressed.
DR. CUSHING (V.O.)
(in
Nancy's thoughts)
Nancy, what do you do when you get
angry?
Nancy looks down and sees some large rocks by the plants that line the motel
walks. Impulsively she picks up a large rock requiring two hands to lift. She
carries it over to the Porsche and, in a sudden fury, raises the rock over her
head ready to smash the car. But just as suddenly, she regains control of
herself and takes no action but to set the rock down. Beside herself, she walks
over to her own car and becomes desperate.
NANCY ARCHER
Harry! Harry, you promised!
In her desperation she begins to HONK the horn of her car. The MOTEL OPERATOR
comes running out of his office and approaches her.
Motel operator
He ain't here, Mrs. Archer.
NANCY ARCHER
(motioning toward the Porsche)
That's his car.
MOTEL OPERATOR
(trying to cover, but knowing she's wise to it)
Maybe he ran out of gas and he
left it.
NANCY ARCHEr
(to
herself in depressed realization)
He doesn't care who knows.
MOTEL OPERATOR
(annoyed)
Let's call it a night. Go home.
Have some coffee, maybe.
NANCY ARCHER
(insulted)
I'm not drunk.
MOTEL OPERATOR
(defensive)
You don't have to be drunk to
drink coffee. It's a free country.
NANCY ARCHER
Tell him that!
MOTEL OPERATOR
There is nobody here to tell,
honest!
NANCY ARCHER
(getting back into her car)
Please. Tell him.
Nancy drives away.
CUT TO:
INT. motel room - cONTINUOUS - nIGHT
HARRY ARCHER watches out the window as Nancy drives away. He turns to his
companion, HONEY PARKER, a busty red-head who is struggling to get her clothes
back on and has to clamber about the room to find them all.
HARRY ARCHER
You're not going to let something
like this ruin the whole night, are you?
HONEY PARKER
There comes a point in a
relationship when you start to realize what your prospects are. Well, we have
plateaued at motel room flings, Harry, and that is nowhere good enough for Mrs.
Parker's little girl, Honey.
HARRY ARCHER
(casual; munching on some nuts)
You're taking this sort of thing
way too personal.
HONEY PARKER
(still
dressing)
You bet I do. I have had a long
time to figure out women like that...spoiled...rich...I've been painting their
fingernails and washing their hair since I was twelve years old.
As honey struggles to put on her stockings she gets a run in one of them.
HONEY PARKER (CONT'D)
Shit!
HARRY ARCHER
Honey.....I..
HONEY PARKER
Why do you put up with it, Harry?
Why do you make me put up with it? Just leave. Walk out. She don't deserve you,
anyway.
HARRY ARCHER
I'm not leaving until I can take a
big slice of old man Cobb's pie with me.
HONEY PARKER
So? Community property, dump her!
HARRY ARCHER
The old man made me sign a
prenuptial.
HONEY PARKER
(exasperated)
Jesus!
Harry Comes over and puts his arms around Honey.
HARRY ARCHER
Look, all we have to do is find
the right angle and we're set. Every day I go into that office, I find out where
a couple of more bodies are buried. Just leave it up to Harry. Harry's got a
handle on everything.
Honey softens and kisses Harry.
HONEY PARKER
You know what her problem really
is?
HARRY ARCHER
Nancy? Yeah, like you said, she's
spoiled and rich.
HONEY PARKER
Her real problem is she actually
loves you.
Harry and Honey kiss again and begin to undress each other.
CUT TO:
EXT. The El Monte drive-in theater - nIGHT
A police cruiser is in the parking lot, hiding alongside the main highway to get
speeders. DEPUTY CHARLIE SPOONER is returning to the cruiser from the drive-in's
food bar carrying food. He gets into the car and joins SHERIFF DENBY who is
waiting for him in the driver's seat. The deputy gets in and passes the sheriff
some food. Deputy Spooner is a lean and mean looking man in contrast to the
sheriff, who is fat and easy-going.
Sheriff denby
(looking at his hot dog)
Is there cheese on this dog?
Deputy spooner
You didn't ask for cheese.
SHERIFF DENBY
I don't ask for cheese, because I
always get cheese on my dog.
Suddenly the policemen see Mrs. Archer drive by in her convertible at normal
speed.
DEPUTY SPOONER
That's Mrs. Archer.
SHERIFF DENBY
Yeah.
DEPUTY SPOONER
(suspiciously)
I don't see Mr. Archer with her.
SHERIFF DENBY
Nope, not unless she had him in
the trunk....Cheese, Charlie.
With a long-suffering look, Charlie exits the car to go get the sheriff some
cheese for his hot dog.
CUT TO:
EXT. dirt road cutting through the desert - nIGHT
Nancy Archer drives through the night crying. As she drives she wipes tears from
her face. Suddenly, up ahead is a very BRIGHT LIGHT; it looks like the worst
high beams imaginable. Nancy squints and tries to see. The light becomes so
bright that she can't see. She slams on the breaks and pulls off the road,
coming to a stop. Then, mysteriously, the light is gone. She looks ahead of her
and behind her. But there is nothing but quiet, dark road. Then a light shines
down on her. She looks up and sees that it is clearly a huge flying saucer,
hovering. It bathes her in a deep blue light and begins to move into position
over her car. Desperately she tries to start the car, but it is dead. A
laser-like beam shoots from the underside of the flying saucer and focuses on
her diamond pendent. The car vibrates wildly. The RADIO TURNS ON and changes
stations haphazardly. Suddenly the laser beam goes off and, in terror, Nancy
restarts the car, turns around and drives away. As she races away, she can see
the saucer in her rear-view mirror following her. It passes over her car as it
flies upward and away.
CUT TO:
EXT. The El Monte drive-in theater - nIGHT
Nancy Archer races past the sheriff and deputy.
DEPUTY SPOONER
It's Mrs. Archer!
SHERIFF DENBY
(handing the deputy his drink)
Hold the malted, Charlie.
The sheriff turns on the cruiser and throws it in gear, hitting the SIREN and
racing after her.
CUT TO:
EXT. TONY's SHANGRA-LA Motel - nIGHT
Nancy pulls into the motel fast, and parks.
NANCY ARCHER
Harry! Harry!
She exits her car so fast that she falls onto the parking lot pavement.
CUT TO:
INT. motel room - cONTINUOUS - nIGHT
Harry is in bead humping Honey. They hear Nancy calling Harry's name.
HONEY PARKER
Jesus, this is just so fucking
romantic!
She pushes Harry off of her and walks naked into the bathroom, where she slams
the door to be alone.
CUT TO:
EXT. TONY's SHANGRA-LA Motel - nIGHT - cONTINUOUS
The police cruiser with SIREN WAILING pulls into the motel parking area. The
motel operator runs over to help Nancy to her feet. She is in a panic.
MOTEL OPERATOR
Mrs. Archer! Are you okay?
Nancy is looking up at Harry's room when the light from the cruiser illuminates
her. The sheriff and deputy exit the car and approach her and the motel
operator.
SHERIFF DENBY
What's the trouble Mrs. Archer?
NANCY ARCHER
It was out there! It touched me!
It forced me off the road and then it touched me with a light!
The three men are looking at her as though they are sure that she has been
drinking. Deputy Spooner, chewing on a toothpick, grins and evil grin and eyes
her up and down. Nancy sees him ogling her but is too upset to get angry.
SHERIFF DENBY
What touched you?
Nancy sees that they think she is drunk or crazy and that there is no point in
talking to any of them.
NANCY ARCHER
I want Harry! I want my husband!
DEPUTY SPOONER
(slyly, while leering)
Did somebody out there in the
desert try to put his hands on you, Mrs. Archer?
NANCY ARCHER
(still
wanting to tell someone)
It was big! And it lit up the sky
like a....like a....you've got to believe me. It was there...it was over the
highway.
SHERIFF DENBY
Sure, we believe you Mrs. Archer,
it's just that.....
(slowly leading Nancy to his car)
Why don't you come on and sit in
the squad car and tell us all about it and we'll get you a nice big cup of
coffee.
CUT TO:
EXT. mOTEL ROOM - CONTINUOUS
Harry is watching from his motel window as the police lead Nancy away. He hears
a GLASS SHATTER in the bathroom and the TOILET FLUSH. Honey comes storming out
dressed and ready to leave.
HONEY PARKER
(stopping to put on lip-stick)
A woman has to have a limit. If
she don't have a limit, she's screwed from the get-go.
HARRY ARCHER
(smiling and soothing)
You shouldn't let a thing like
this get to you. It causes wrinkles.
There is a KNOCK ON THE DOOR.
HONEY PARKER
It's her.
HARRY ARCHER
It's not her.
HONEY PARKER
It is. It's her. It's her with a
gun, and an ax, and a bottle of acid.
HARRY ARCHER
(annoyed)
Straighten up the bed, will ya!
HONEY PARKER
Oh, just exactly how stupid do you
think people are?
There is another KNOCK AT THE DOOR. Harry quickly buttons up his shirt and tries
to make himself look presentable.
DEPUTY SPOONER (O.S.)
Mr. Archer, it's Deputy Spooner.
Harry opens the door to see Deputy Spooner standing there alone. Spooner is
chewing his toothpick and looking like the cat that swallowed the canary.
DEPUTY SPOONER (CONT'D)
Evening, Mr. Archer.
HARRY ARCHER
Deputy.
DEPUTY SPOONER
(smirking and looking past Harry)
Hi, Honey.
HONEY PARKER
(disgusted)
Charlie.
HARRY ARCHER
(getting impatient)
Is there something I can do for
you, deputy?
DEPUTY SPOONER
(still
smirking)
Oh yeah. Well, um...I don't know
what you heard, but we had some commotion out there.
(motions to the parking area)
Your wife had some trouble on the
road.
HARRY ARCHER
What kind of trouble?
DEPUTY SPOONER
(smirk
growing bigger)
Spaceship.
HARRY ARCHER
Spaceship?
DEPUTY SPOONER
Ran her right off the road....at
least that's what she said ....Sheriff's taking her back out there to look
around. You might want to think about getting home, Mr. Archer, under the
circumstances.
HARRY ARCHER
Thanks for the advice.
DEPUTY SPOONER
(smirking)
No charge.
(again, looking past Harry)
Night, Honey.
HONEY PARKER
(very
annoyed)
Night, Charlie.
HARRY ARCHER
(emphatically)
Good-night.
DEPUTY SPOONER
Night.
Harry closes the door and turns toward Honey. He looks deep in thought.
HARRY ARCHER
Nancy saw a spaceship....It ran
her off the road.
HONEY PARKER
She crazy or somethin'?
HARRY ARCHER
People who see spaceships....These
are not the people who you want making important decisions....Decisions
about...money. They need help.
HONEY PARKER
(smiling)
You're thinkin' somethin' aren't
ya?
HARRY ARCHER
(begins removing his clothes)
I'm thinking that maybe I ought to
get home to my poor, unstable wife in her time of need.
Honey jumps into his arms.
HARRY ARCHER (CONT'D)
That's my girl.
Harry carries her over to the bed and tosses her onto it. They laugh and begin
to roll around with each other.
CUT TO:
EXT. dIRT ROAD THROUGH THE DESERT - nIGHT
The cruiser has stopped at the place Nancy has shown the sheriff. In the glare
of the headlights Nancy inspects the tire tracks in the dirt.
NANCY ARCHER
Here. See? This is where it forced
me off the road.
SHERIFF DENBY
I can see the tire marks, Mrs.
Archer.
NANCY ARCHER
But you don't believe me?
SHERIFF DENBY
Look at it from my point of view.
All I see are your tracks and nothing else.
NANCY ARCHER
Well, it..it never touched the
ground. Look, you've got to believe me.
Suddenly a very bright light bathes both of them. Nancy points to the light on
the road.
NANCY ARCHER
There!
SHERIFF DENBY
What, Mrs. Archer?
NANCY ARCHER
There! Can't you see!?
SHERIFF DENBY
Yeah, I can see it.
The light turns into the headlights of a car that pulls up and stops behind the
cruiser.
NANCY ARCHER
(dejected when she sees whose car it is)
Why did you call him?
SHERIFF DENBY
Part of the job, Mrs. Archer.
Nancy's father (HAMILTON COBB) steps from the car. He is in his 50s and looks
like a rock-hard, no nonsense, army general in a business suit.
Hamilton Cobb
Sheriff.
SHERIFF DENBY
Mr. Cobb.
HAMILTON COBB
(giving an order)
Get in the car, Nancy. I'll drive
you home.
NANCY ARCHER
I was just trying to explain to
the sheriff....
HAMILTON COBB
Get into the car.
Nancy meekly goes to the car and gets in.
HAMILTON COBB (CONT'D)
Thanks for the call, Danby.
SHERIFF DENBY
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
HAMILTON COBB
Now, there won't be any tiresome
paperwork about this little incident, will there sheriff?
SHERIFF DENBY
(cowed)
I think the young lady is upset
enough as it is.
HAMILTON COBB
Good-night, sheriff.
Cobb turns on his heel and leaves.
SHERIFF DENBY
Good-night, sir.
CUT TO:
EXT. dIRT ROAD THROUGH THE DESERT - mOMENTS LATER
Cobb is driving Nancy home. He is very angry and she is moping.
HAMILTON COBB
A spaceship? My god, Nancy, why
are you trying to destroy me?
NANCY ARCHER
I saw it.
HAMILTON COBB
(with
anger)
I cut short a meeting with the
mayor this afternoon for you, the mayor, Nancy! And then I get a call from that
scumbag deputy, "Come get your daughter, your hallucinating daughter."
NANCY ARCHER
Why can't you admit for one second
that there's a chance I might be telling the truth?
HAMILTON COBB
It's your mother all over again!
NANCY ARCHER
I saw something.
HAMILTON COBB
You saw nothing! I will not
be made the laughing stock of in this town!
The car passes through the entrance to the long driveway that leads to the Cobb
mansion. After a bit of a drive, the car pulls up the massive and well-lighted
four-story mansion.
CUT TO:
INT. a study in The cobb mansion - mOMENTS LATER
Hamilton Cobb slams down a number of papers before Nancy, who is seated at an
ornate desk.
NANCY ARCHER
What happened to all the papers I
signed yesterday?
HAMILTON COBB
Today there are more.
Nancy signs compliantly as her father removes each paper as soon she finishes
signing and indicates where she should sign the next one.
HARRY ARCHER (O.C.)
Give the girl a break, Hamilton.
Nancy looks up to see Harry standing in the entrance to the study. She is
pleased and relieved to see him.
NANCY ARCHER
Harry.
Nancy starts to stand, but her father presses her back down with a hand to her
shoulder and has her sign one more paper. He then places the papers in a
briefcase and locks it.
HAMILTON COBB
All right, Nancy, you look tired,
why don't you toddle off to bed.
NANCY ARCHER
(stands to leave)
Yes, father.
(approaches Harry)
Harry?
HARRY ARCHER
Go on upstairs, baby, your dad and
I have some business to discuss.
NANCY ARCHER
But...
HARRY ARCHER
I'll be right up.
Nancy, somewhat dejected, leaves the room.
HARRY ARCHER (CONT'D)
So how'd your meeting go with the
mayor?
Nancy leaves the room, but stays outside of the closed door and listens. We see
her reaction as she hears to what the men say.
HAMILTON COBB (O.S.)
I'll worry about the mayor, and
you worry about keeping her in line. And for God's sake, can't you come up with
anything more discrete than Tony's Shangra-La?
HARRY ARCHER (O.S.)
I don't see that what I do is any
of your business!
HAMILTON COBB (O.S.)
I don't care if you cheat on your
wife, but I will not permit you to embarrass me! Especially not now, when we're
this close to getting the zoning switched!
Nancy walks away deeply hurt and heads upstairs.
DISSOLVE TO:
INT. the attic of the cobb mansion - LATER that night
We see a lovely room with an old style Victorian bed. Everything in the room
seems perfect with every chair and curtain in place. There is a window on the
far wall. Suddenly Nancy's face appears outside the window, enormous in size.
But quickly we see that it is a trick of the camera, as the room we have been
viewing turns out to be a room in a dollhouse she is looking over up in the
attic. Nancy walks about the dollhouse, which seems to be a replica of the
actual Cobb mansion. She is comforted by her memories and we sense that she must
have played with this house for many hours when she was a girl.
In the dollhouse is a small doll of a man. Nancy picks it up fondly and holds
him in her hand. She looks gigantic compared with the doll. She smiles at the
doll and lovingly sits him on the roof.
Next she finds a large stuffed teddy bear in a crib that was hers as a baby. She
picks up the bear and hugs it to her chest and then kisses it. She looks at it
fondly. Then, suddenly she sees something in a box nearby. She picks it up. It
is an old photo album. She sits down and turns on a light so she can see it
better and begins to leaf through the pages looking at the photos. The pictures
bring back fond memories. But one photo upsets her. It is a picture of her as a
young girl with her mother. Now she becomes sad and closes the album.
HARRY ARCHER (O.C.)
Make a wish.
NANCY ARCHER
Harry.
Nancy stands to greet Harry, who has entered the attic. He gently touches her
face.
NANCY ARCHER (CONT'D)
You're cold.
He kisses her warmly and she responds.
HARRY ARCHER
Not that cold.
NANCY ARCHER
Why did you lie to me?
HARRY ARCHER
(acting hurt by her insinuation)
Nancy.
NANCY ARCHER
You said you weren't going to see
her anymore.
He sits Nancy back down and kneels before her.
HARRY ARCHER
(with
deep sincerity)
And that's what I was up there
telling her. I had to tell her, didn't I? I had to tell her face to face, didn't
I?
Nancy believes him and softens. She kisses him.
NANCY ARCHER
I don't know what I'd do if I
didn't have you.
HARRY ARCHER
What happened?
NANCY ARCHER
Well, you got so involved in
Daddy's business.....
HARRY ARCHER
No, baby...I mean tonight. What
happened out there in the desert?
NANCY ARCHER
I don't want to talk about
it...I...I...
Harry kisses her to get her relaxed. Nancy smiles and tries to answer him.
NANCY ARCHER (CONT'D)
You'll think I'm crazy.
HARRY ARCHER
Now why would I think something
like that?
NANCY ARCHER
I saw something...in the sky.
Harry hugs her to him and holds her.
CUT TO:
EXT. the desert - nIGHT
A flashlight beam illuminates the skull of a dead cow as Deputy Spooner searches
about. We hear owls HOOT and coyotes HOWL. Spooner is startled by Sheriff Denby
who comes up behind him and touches his shoulder. Spooner whirls his flashlight
about and shines it on the sheriff.
DEPUTY SPOONER
Oh, sheriff.
SHERIFF DENBY
You see anything?
DEPUTY SPOONER
No, no, nothing to report.
We hear a donkey HEE-HAW. Spooner shines his light at the sound. We see
PROSPECTOR EDDIE, and old man leading his jackass as he wanders the desert
looking for gold.
DEPUTY SPOONER (CONT'D)
Oh, hell, it's just Hard-Luck
Eddie.
SHERIFF DENBY
Evening, Eddie.
Prospector eddie
What are you doing out here, Denby?
SHERIFF DENBY
Just doing my job.
PROSPECTOR EDDIE
Yeah, well, you ain't got no claim
out here. This here is my mountain!
SHERIFF DENBY
You seen anything out here
tonight, Eddie?
PROSPECTOR EDDIE
Like what?
DEPUTY SPOONER
Something unusual.
PROSPECTOR EDDIE
This here's the desert, Mr.
Deputy, what you call unusual don't mean much around here.
DEPUTY SPOONER
Did you see something, or not?
PROSPECTOR EDDIE
I seen plenty. I seen hailstones
as big as your head. I seen lightning shoot up out the ground, up into the
clouds. And I heard stuff too. When the wind gets tangled up in them power lines
makes the wire sing like a crazy woman in love. Ha, thirty years out here, there
ain't nothing unusual to me.
SHERIFF DENBY
Thanks a lot, Eddie.
PROSPECTOR EDDIE
Don't mention it, sheriff.
DEPUTY SPOONER
(putting another toothpick in his mouth)
What do you figure she saw?
SHERIFF DENBY
Well, it could have been some kid
in a hot rod...a jet or a helicopter from over to the air base.
(looking up at the sky)
I suppose it could have been
something.
DEPUTY SPOONER
(grinning)
Say, maybe it was a spaceship.
Maybe she ain't crazy, what do you think?
SHERIFF DENBY
I think I've done my job for
tonight and I'm going home to bed. And if you're smart, you'll do the same.
CUT TO:
INT. honey's apartment in town - dAY
Honey is eating some snacks and reading a book while wearing her glasses, when
there is a KNOCK AT HER DOOR. She stands and goes over to the door.
HONEY PARKER
Who is it?
The person knocking raps out "Shave and a hair-cut, two bits." With her guard
chain still on the door, Honey opens it. She sees who it is and opens the chain,
stepping back from the door. Mr. Cobb enters.
HAMILTON COBB
Well, those glasses are new! I
like them.
Mr. Cobb takes the book from Honey's hands and inspects it.
HAMILTON COBB (CONT'D)
`Principles of Accounting and
Management'!
(laughing)
That's new, too!
HONEY PARKER
(removing her glasses)
A girl's gotta plan for the
future.
HAMILTON COBB
You don't have any future! You can
take night courses from now until you stop being pretty, and you still won't
have any future, not with Harry Archer.
HONEY PARKER
Well, maybe that's not the way I
see it.
HAMILTON COBB
You don't see anything beyond the
end of that pretty little nose I paid for.
Mr. Cobb tries to touch her nose, but she defiantly pushes his hand away.
HAMILTON COBB (CONT'D)
Harry only wants what I want. He
doesn't have the imagination to want anything else. He doesn't love you; he
hates me!
HONEY PARKER
You talked to her like this,
didn't you? Chip, chip, chipping away; making her feel smaller and smaller. This
is how you talked to your wife, and this is how you talk to your daughter, isn't
it?
HAMILTON COBB
It's one thing to be smart, and
it's another thing to stay smart all the way around the block. You've still got
a way to go.
HONEY PARKER
Anything in particular you want?
HAMILTON COBB
(lights up a cigar)
Yes, I've ah...well, I'm
anticipating some changes. Once I take care of the mayor and the boys on the
council, things are going to come through quickly.
HONEY PARKER
(sitting before her make-up mirror)
So?
HAMILTON COBB
So? A word to the wise. Don't get
in the way.
HONEY PARKER
What could I do?
HAMILTON COBB
You? Nothing. But Harry might try
something. He can't stop me, but he can interfere with me. You tell him to keep
his head down and his uninspired thoughts to himself.
HONEY PARKER
Why don't you tell him yourself?
HAMILTON COBB
I already have, but you get more
of his attention than I do.
HONEY PARKER
(standing to leave)
Anything else? I have an emergency
set of tips to do.
HAMILTON COBB
You take care of him and there
might be a couple of bucks in it down the line. Who knows, a word in the owner's
ear--you could be promoted to first chair.
HONEY PARKER
Maybe I want more than first chair
and a couple of lousy bucks.
HAMILTON COBB
(as he
leaves the apartment)
Don't want more than you've got
coming to you. You'll end up with nothing at all.
CUT TO:
EXT. a garden on the cobb estate - dAY
Nancy and Dr. Cushing are walking in the garden. Nancy stops to admire the
flowers.
NANCY ARCHER
I suppose it's all over town.
DR. CUSHING
What is?
NANCY ARCHER
Last night's fiasco.
DR. CUSHING
What exactly happened last night?
NANCY ARCHER
You like the garden? I try to keep
it as nice as my mother did, but it's hard. I don't know how she managed. It's a
gift, I suppose.
DR. CUSHING
Harry told me you had an
experience last night.
NANCY ARCHER
An experience is a nice generic
term, and accurate without any messy details.
DR. CUSHING
I like details.
NANCY ARCHER
Ask Harry; my father; the sheriff.
DR. CUSHING
I'm asking you.
NANCY ARCHER
If I tell you, you'll just get the
face.
DR. CUSHING
The face?
NANCY ARCHER
The poor Nancy face.
(Dr.
Cushing chuckles)
I've had just about as much of
that as I can take.
DR. CUSHING
Well, I'm a pretty good poker
player. Why don't you give it a try?
NANCY ARCHER
I saw something...in the sky...a
spaceship.
DR. CUSHING
Yes.
Nancy turns and walks to a bench where they both sit together.
NANCY ARCHER
Is this how it started with my
mother?
DR. CUSHING
Nancy, you're not your mother.
NANCY ARCHER
But is this how it started...I
mean, seeing things...acting crazy?
DR. CUSHING
There's a big difference between
acting crazy and being crazy.
NANCY ARCHER
Do you believe I saw something?
Don't say that you believe I believe I saw something. You always call me on it
when I try to squirm out of one of your questions. Now it's your turn. Do you
believe me?
DR. CUSHING
Yes.
CUT TO:
EXT. the entrance to the mansion - dAY
Dr. Cushing is leaving. Harry is outside the door waiting for her. He has a
lounge lizard look about him. He has his suit jacket slung over his shoulder and
there is a cigarette dangling from his lips.
HARRY ARCHER
Thought you'd get away without
seeing me?
(walks
over to Dr. Cushing)
Nancy told you about her little
"close encounter?"
DR. CUSHING
Just what do you want me to say,
Mr. Archer? That she's insane because she saw a UFO, that she's incompetent?
HARRY ARCHER
Maybe it runs in the family. Like
mother; like daughter.
DR. CUSHING
I'm late for a meeting.
Dr. Cushing starts to walk away, but Harry follows after her.
HARRY ARCHER
I can't help but think under the
circumstances it would be better if Nancy were to spend a little time, you know,
inside someplace.
DR. CUSHING
I always thought men like you
vanished with the dinosaur and the woolly mammoth, but here you are big as life,
amazing.
HARRY ARCHER
(sarcastically)
Is that a scientific opinion?
DR. CUSHING
It's a very unscientific, very
female opinion. Excuse me.
Dr. Cushing walks away.
CUT TO:
EXT. the cobb mansion swimming pool - dAY
Nancy is swimming the length of the pool underwater. As she surfaces at the
shallow end Harry is waiting for her. Nancy looks up at him.
NANCY ARCHER
Why did you call Dr. Cushing?
HARRY ARCHER
I thought you might want to talk
things out.
(kneeling down and touching her)
I was worried about you.
NANCY ARCHER
You think I'm crazy.
Nancy exits the pool and walks over to her towel. Harry follows her.
HARRY ARCHER
Well, you have to admit, that's
quite a story you've got there.
NANCY ARCHER
It's true.
(seeing Harry's doubtful expression)
Great.
HARRY ARCHER
You might want to think about
getting away. Get some rest.
NANCY ARCHER
The sanitarium, like my mother?
HARRY ARCHER
It might be just what you need.
NANCY ARCHER
What I need is a little proof of
what I saw. I just wish I could make you go out there so you could see for
yourself.
HARRY ARCHER
And if I don't see anything?
NANCY ARCHER
What do you mean?
HARRY ARCHER
I'll go out there with you to try
to find this thing. And if we find it, or any part of it, you get a public
apology from me, your father, the sheriff, everyone. But...
NANCY ARCHER
But?
HARRY ARCHER
But if we don't find anything, you
promise to sign yourself up for a little supervised relaxation.
NANCY ARCHER
I saw something...I'll drive.
Harry is delighted and smiles to himself.
CUT TO:
EXT. mAIN ROAD THROUGH TOWN - dAY
Nancy and Harry are driving through town on their way out to the desert. They
are in Nancy's convertible and the top is down.
HARRY ARCHER
Any particular search pattern in
mind, or you just want to poke around between here and the Pacific Ocean?
NANCY ARCHER
Once we're through town we'll go
into the hills. Then we'll take the long way back to the house on the Old
Country Road.
HARRY ARCHER
And if we don't see anything?
NANCY ARCHER
Then we'll do it all over again.
Harry looks exasperated. Then he notices that they are passing the beauty shop
where Honey works. Honey sees them go by and Harry looks at her and raises his
hands as if to say, Who the hell knows how long this is going to take. Honey
just shakes her head at this new turn of events. As they pass the drive-in, the
sheriff and deputy see them pass.
DEPUTY SPOONER
(slyly)
Well, well, it's Mr. And Mrs.
Archer. Ya figure they patched things up?
CUT TO:
EXT. a TWO-LANE DESERT HIGHWAY - dAY
The Archers are driving along the highway in the bright sunlight. Nothing
unusual has happened. Harry is bored. Without asking what Nancy might want he
turns on the car radio and selects some BIG BAND MUSIC, then closes his eyes and
rests.
CUT TO:
EXT. dIRT ROAD THROUGH THE DESERT - eVENING
They continue to drive, BIG BAND MUSIC still playing, past some huge
high-tension lines that run alongside the road. As night falls, Nancy pulls the
car off the road and stops in the desert. She turns off the ignition, radio, and
lights. She exits the car and looks toward the night sky. She walks off a
distance and looks about. Harry watches her. Finally, he shakes his head and
exits the car.
HARRY ARCHER
Getting late!
Harry walks over to join Nancy.
NANCY ARCHER
Am I supposed to just go quietly?
HARRY ARCHER
Come on, I'll take you to dinner.
You want to stay out here with the scorpions all night.
Nancy continues to watch the starry sky.
HARRY ARCHER (CONT'D)
Look Nancy, I don't know what went
wrong but...
Suddenly we hear an energy surge ZAP and the car RADIO and lights come on.
HARRY ARCHER (CONT'D)
(looking at the car)
What's wrong with that thing?
Suddenly Nancy points up to a light in the sky.
NANCY ARCHER
See! There! I told you! Look at
it!
It is the flying saucer. It comes down low to hover near the surface of the
desert.
HARRY ARCHER
I see it!!
NANCY ARCHER
(leaping for joy)
It's real!! You didn't believe me,
no one believed me, but it's real!!
HARRY ARCHER
Shhhh! Jesus Christ, shut up. You
want it to see you?
NANCY ARCHER
Who cares, as long as you see it!
Nancy goes happily running, almost skipping, toward the huge saucer.
NANCY ARCHER (CONT'D)
Wait until my father hears about
this!
Suddenly a blue beam shoots out from under the saucer and bathes Nancy in light.
NANCY ARCHER (CONT'D)
Harry!
HARRY ARCHER
Shit!
NANCY ARCHER
Harry! Harry!
Harry runs to help her, but the light acts like a force field and he collides
with it and falls backwards. He tries to push his way through the light to get
to Nancy, but it is no use.
NANCY ARCHER
Harry! Harry, don't leave me!
As Harry tries to get through the force field Nancy is beamed up into the
saucer. Harry watches in amazement as the saucer departs with Nancy. Harry looks
down and finds nothing left but one of Nancy's sandals. In a panic he races back
to the car.
CUT TO:
INT. the beauty salon where honey works - nIGHT
Honey is wearing her glasses and studying her books alone in the empty salon
having just closed up for the night. The lights flicker and she thinks she feels
an odd vibration. Honey gets up and walks along the floor of the shop. As she
does so she notices that the light fixtures, which hang by long chains from the
ceiling, are swaying. Frightened, Honey approaches the door that leads to the
roof. But before going through that door, she takes a fire ax from the wall.
Then she enters the door and slowly climbs the stairs to the roof.
CUT TO:
EXT. the beauty salon roof - nIGHT
Honey exits onto the roof carrying her ax. She carefully walks about looking for
someone she thinks might be up there. Looking down she sees Nancy's other
sandal. Suddenly, Nancy steps out of the shadows. She is barefoot and looking a
bit strange.
NANCY ARCHER
Honey. Did your mother call you
that, or was it somebody else?
HONEY PARKER
Mrs. Archer?
NANCY ARCHER
(in a
daze)
Such a sweet name...suits
you...the way you attract men and all. Why are you trying to take my husband
away from me?
HONEY PARKER
How'd you get up here?
Nancy points to the sky.
NANCY ARCHER
Shhhh, it's our secret.
Suddenly Nancy faints and collapses.
HONEY PARKER
Baggage. Why do I always fall for
guys with so much baggage?
CUT TO:
INT. a STUDY IN THE COBB MANSION - nIGHT
We see a photograph of Mr. Cobb shaking hands with President Nixon. Dr. Cushing
looks at it and then heads for the study.
HARRY ARCHER (O.C.)
You're paranoid, old man, I think
the stress is getting to you.
HAMILTON COBB (O.C.)
Is that the sort of line you've
been feeding her? You're an amateur.
As Dr. Cushing enters the study we see Mr. Cobb and Harry talking.
HARRY ARCHER
I don't know; I've had a pretty
good teacher.
Looking shocked at what she is hearing, Dr. Cushing knocks on the wall to
announce her presence even though she has already entered the room.
HAMILTON COBB
(responding to the knocking sound without looking)
Get out!
Mr. Cobb turns to unexpectedly see Dr. Cushing.
HAMILTON COBB (CONT'D)
I'm sorry, doctor.
DR. CUSHING
She's resting.
HAMILTON COBB
Oh? That's....good....resting.
HARRY ARCHER
She still doesn't remember what
happened to her, does she?
DR. CUSHING
No, but it'll come back to her.
HARRY ARCHER
It will?
DR. CUSHING
That's how hysterical amnesia
works. It burns off, a little at a time, like a fog.
Harry pours himself a drink.
HAMILTON COBB
And then she'll be able to tell us
everything?
DR. CUSHING
I do think she's all right. But I
do want to talk to the emergency room doctor about her blood tests.
HARRY ARCHER
Is something wrong?
DR. CUSHING
I don't think so, but the hormone
levels indicate that the tests were run improperly.
HAMILTON COBB
But she's all right? I mean, you
said that. She's not talking about seeing things
(Dr.
Cushing shakes her head, "no")
or anything that would indicate
any kind of, you know, problems?
HARRY ARCHER
Mental breakdown.
HAMILTON COBB
Can you conceive of keeping
your mouth shut for five minutes?!
HARRY ARCHER
You don't care about her
condition, as long as she can still sign your papers so you can keep the money
moving around.
DR. CUSHING
(responding to someone entering)
Nancy?
Nancy walks slowly into the room.
NANCY ARCHER
Dr. Cushing, can you please give
me a ride back into town?
HAMILTON COBB
Go on back upstairs, Nancy, you
need your rest.
NANCY ARCHER
I need to get away from here.
Everybody here thinks I'm crazy. Well, I'm not crazy.
HARRY ARCHER
Of course you're not, baby. If you
want to get out of here, that's fine. I'll take you wherever you want to go.
HAMILTON COBB
I'm not going to let you spirit
her away before she can tell us what you tried to do to her in the desert.
The two men stand arguing face to face with Nancy standing between them.
NANCY ARCHER
Please.
HAMILTON COBB
She's going to tell me everything
that happened. Aren't you, Nancy?
NANCY ARCHER
I don't remember anything.
HARRY ARCHER
You see?
HAMILTON COBB
Don't try to force her to lie for
you, Harry!
NANCY ARCHER
Please, don't fight!
HAMILTON COBB
Don't worry, Nancy. I can handle
him.
HARRY ARCHER
Like you handled her mother?
HAMILTON COBB
You really don't know when to
shut up, do you?
HARRY ARCHER
You went through her money like it
was yours and ended up making her life so miserable that there wasn't anything
left for her to do except kill herself!
Hearing these words, Nancy becomes extremely emotional.
NANCY ARCHER
No! Stop it!
HARRY ARCHER
Stay out of this!
HAMILTON COBB
Not now, Nancy!
Nancy begins to yell at everyone in the room, enough so as to get their
attention and surprise them.
NANCY ARCHER
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
Don't you talk about my mother that way! And don't talk about me that way! I am
here! I am in this room! I am a person! I am not a chair, or a.....
Suddenly, Nancy stops yelling. She feels strange. She feels a pain in her ring
finger and looks at it. Her hand is growing! The wedding ring on her hand bursts
off of her finger. The others see this and are shocked. Nancy sits down in a
nearby chair, unsure of the strange feelings gripping her.
NANCY ARCHER
Harry?!
HARRY ARCHER
(begins moving toward her)
What is it, baby?
Mr. Cobb grabs Harry's arm and pulls him back.
HAMILTON COBB
Get away from her!
HARRY ARCHER
You get away from her!
As the men resume their fight Nancy begins to grow noticeably. Dr. Cushing is
alarmed and gets the men's attention as to what is happening.
DR. CUSHING
Gentlemen!
As Nancy starts to grow, her diamond pendant snaps and falls off. Then there are
RIPPING sounds as her clothing begins to burst apart at the seams. Nancy looks
down and sees her feet burst from her shoes.
NANCY ARCHER
(in
terror)
Dr. Cushing, what's happening to
me!
Dr. Cushing is too shocked to answer. Nancy stands up and her bra explodes off
of her. Her breasts, which were large under normal circumstances, burst forth in
bouncy view causing Harry's eyes to go wide and Mr. Cobb to cover his. Nancy
cries out and covers her giant breasts with her hands. As she grows, her
shredded dress and panties begin to fall away and she desperately clutches them
to her crotch with one hand while somewhat failing to cover her massive breasts
with her other. The three watch her in such shock that they are practically
paralyzed. Nancy continues to grow! Even though stooped over her head and
shoulders break through the ceiling to the floor above. Still she is growing!
NANCY ARCHER
Harry!
CUT TO:
EXT. The cobb mansion - cONTINUOUS
We see the Cobb mansion all lighted up from a distance. We hear Nancy's voice
coming from the house with enormous volume.
NANCY ARCHER
Harry!
DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. a large horse stable on the cobb property - day
The horse stable is three-stories high and contains a huge central space 35'
high and many lofts above the horse stalls for storage. The horses have been
removed to make room for Nancy. The floor is hard-packed dirt. There are two
very large doors at the entrance that swing open.
Dr. Cushing exits the stable through the large doors to meet Harry and Dr. Loeb
who are just arriving. Dr. Loeb is wearing a three-piece suit and bow tie.
HARRY ARCHER
Dr. Cushing, I'd like you to meet
a colleague of yours, Dr. Victor Loeb.
DR. LOEB
(greeting Dr. Cushing)
Doctor.
DR. CUSHING
I warned you about bringing anyone
in from the outside. Nancy's condition...
HARRY ARCHER
(interrupting)
Dr. Cushing, you may be able to
see into her mental condition, but you're not qualified to look after her
physical well-being. Dr. Loeb is.
Dr. Loeb nods that he agrees.
Dr. Cushing decides that Dr. Loeb had ought to see just what he is getting into
and motions Dr. Loeb to follow her into the stable.
DR. CUSHING
Come with me, doctor.
HARRY ARCHER
I'll just wait out here.
DR. LOEB
I'm afraid Harry wasn't very
specific when he phoned. Just what is Mrs. Archer's condition?
DR. CUSHING
Unique. Once you're inside, please
don't make any sudden moves.
CUT TO:
INT. the horse stable - cONTINUOUS
Dr. Cushing enters.
DR. CUSHING
(raising her voice so as to be heard)
Nancy! I'd like you to meet Dr.
Loeb. He's here to help you.
Dr. Loeb enters the stable door.
DR. CUSHING (CONT'D)
Dr. Loeb, I'd like you to meet
Nancy Archer.
Dr. Loeb sees Nancy. She is gigantic. Her head reaches to the top of the stable
even though she is sitting. She is wearing a homemade, two-piece, bikini style
garment, made from whole bolts of cloth of different colors and patterns. Her
gigantic breasts are barely contained. She is sitting barefoot and legs crossed,
obviously distressed to be confined by the "small" enclosure.
DR. LOEB
(entering the stable and looking up)
My God!!
Nancy sees him enter and greets him.
NANCY ARCHER
Doctor.
DR. LOEB
This is impossible!!
Something about Nancy is different. She seems more powerful in her demeanor. Her
immense size has made her angry and given her a sense of strength.
NANCY ARCHER
(bitter and sarcastic)
Well...that certainly takes a load
off my mind. I thought I had a problem.
DR. CUSHING
Twenty-four hours ago she was a
normal sized woman.
(showing Dr. Loeb Nancy's medical chart)
Note the hormone levels.
DR. LOEB
The levels are anomalous, but they
couldn't account for that!
(he
points at Nancy)
NANCY ARCHER
(angry, almost threatening)
I am not a "that!"
DR. LOEB
(soothingly; afraid)
Of course your not.
(to
Dr. Cushing)
We must get her to a controlled,
therapeutic environment. I have a private clinic that's very secluded. That's
why Harry....
NANCY ARCHER
A sanitarium? No!
DR. LOEB
Mrs. Archer...Nancy. Don't you
want the security?
NANCY ARCHER
I'm staying here!
Nancy leans forward and slams her fist down on the ground in front of Dr. Loeb.
As she leans forward her huge breasts strain at the cloth holding them. Her
breasts giggle heavily as her fist strikes the ground. Dirt is kicked up over
the two doctors. They retreat, Dr. Loeb's eyes go wide and he stares at Nancy's
huge chest. As Nancy withdraws her fist we can see a mighty imprint in the
ground. Dr. Loeb looks at it in fear.
DR. LOEB
(trembling)
Yes, I think home treatment would
be less stressful...for everyone.
NANCY ARCHER
And you don't have to worry about
the money. Anything you want you can have, just ask my father.
Dr. Loeb looses his nerve and runs from the stable, leaving Dr. Cushing smiling
at Nancy and her newfound power.
CUT TO:
INT. the beauty salon - dAY
Honey Parker is doing the nails of a CUSTOMER when she notices her table begin
to shake owing to some mysterious vibration. She looks up and we see a caravan
of large trucks going by. As they pass we can see the signs on them. One says
MEAT, another REVLON, a third says SUMMER'S EVE and the last, a tanker, says
MILK.
CUT TO:
INT. tHE HORSE STABLE - mOMENTS LATER
Nancy is bored and sitting in the cramped stable. She passes the time twirling a
spare truck tire on her finger.
CUT TO:
EXT. outside tHE HORSE STABLE - dAY
MEN from the trucks are unloading boxes and stacking them alongside the stable.
CUT TO:
EXT. tHE COBB MANSION SWIMMING POOL - dAY
Harry is pouring himself a drink at the poolside bar while speaking with Dr.
Loeb.
HARRY ARCHER
You were supposed to get her into
that sanitarium of yours. That's why I called you.
DR. LOEB
She didn't want to go.
HARRY ARCHER
You should have talked her into
it.
DR. LOEB
Under the circumstances, Harry,
any argument would be very one-sided. She has to be at least 50 feet tall!
Harry hands the trembling Dr. Loeb a drink, which he greedily grabs and gulps
down. Harry offers him a seat under a pool umbrella and both men sit down to
talk.
HARRY ARCHER
What made her grow that tall?
DR. LOEB
You said she began to grow after
becoming agitated. Clearly it's stress related. The blood levels indicate some
kind of hormonal imbalance.
HARRY ARCHER
Terrific, you've discovered a new
kind of PMS.
DR. LOEB
The situation is serious, Harry.
HARRY ARCHER
You're telling me?
DR. LOEB
The human body wasn't designed to
grow that large, Harry. I calculate that she must weigh nearly 60 tons. That's
as much as a dozen large elephants. Even though her heart has grown, I'm
concerned about the strain such immense weight will have on it.
HARRY ARCHER
(perking up)
You mean that she could have a
heart attack?
DR. LOEB
Harry, try to understand that
right now your wife has a blood pressure ten times higher than an adult giraffe.
Harry looks excited by what he deems to be great news.
CUT TO:
EXT. outside tHE sTABLE by the large front doors - nIGHT
Nancy is kneeling down and trying to read little papers she is holding in her
huge hands by the stable light that is mounted just off the front of the
thirty-foot high eves. Her father is looking up at her.
HAMILTON COBB
(shouting to her)
It's all boiler-plate, Nancy. You
don't have to look at them.
NANCY ARCHER
How am I supposed to sign these?
Mr. Cobb has brought some supplies. A long stick with attached paintbrush, a
bucket of paint, and a large sheet of cardboard.
HAMILTON COBB
You don't have to. You use the
paint to sign the cardboard. Then I take your signature and I reduce it and put
it on the documents. Now, I've spoken to the lawyers about it and they tell me
that under the circumstances it is... essentially...legal.
Nancy looks down at her father. Feeling her new power she tosses the papers at
him. They flutter down all about.
NANCY ARCHER
Blow them up.
HAMILTON COBB
What!?
NANCY ARCHER
If they can reduce my signature,
they can enlarge those contracts. Get a billboard or something. I want that fine
print six feet tall!
Mr. Cobb goes about picking up the papers.
HAMILTON COBB
Well, I simply will not have the
details of my business pasted on the side of a barn for the world to see.
NANCY ARCHER
Then you better find a new
business, because I'm not signing them until I can read them.
HAMILTON COBB
You've had a long day. I'm sure it
has been very stressful. Perhaps you ought to go back in the...I mean go back
in, and rest.
NANCY ARCHER
(looking up at the night sky)
I like being out here looking at
the stars.
HAMILTON COBB
Of course you do. We all like the
stars; they're very pretty. But you have to take care of yourself. You have
to...
NANCY ARCHER
(becoming angry and interrupting)
Father, I'm not a little girl!
As she says this she leans down toward her father, looming over him. Frightened
and wide-eyed, Mr. Cobb takes a few steps back.
HAMILTON COBB
Ah, no, no, you're not. But you
need your rest; you have to protect your strength, so that the doctors can make
you better!
NANCY ARCHER
You mean make me like I was
before.
HAMILTON COBB
Yes, just as you were before. Now
isn't that what we all want?
NANCY ARCHER
(sighing)
I'll go back in the stable.
HAMILTON COBB
(smiling)
Good!
NANCY ARCHER
(glaring at him)
In a little while.
HAMILTON COBB
(swallowing hard)
Ah...well...ah...that'll be fine.
NANCY ARCHER
Good-night, father.
HAMILTON COBB
(looking discomposed)
Good-night, Nancy.
Nancy leans back against the stable and looks up at the stars.
HONEY PARKER (O.S.)
Jesus, she's big!

EXT. a parking area overlooking the Cobb estate - cONTINUOUS
Honey Parker is looking at Nancy through binoculars while standing with Harry.
As they talk, Harry smokes a cigarette and that take turns looking at Nancy in
the distance.
HONEY PARKER (CONT'D)
I mean big! How'd she get
so big!
HARRY ARCHER
Something in that UFO bollixed up
her hormones.
HONEY PARKER
Oh. I can't get over how big she
is.
HARRY ARCHER
The doctor said that being that
size puts a strain on her heart. She gets dizzy.
HONEY PARKER
Probably the altitude.
HARRY ARCHER
They think she might have a heart
attack. I doubt they'd be surprised if she keeled over like a mighty redwood. A
little stress, some anger, some aggravation...and timber!
(laughs)
HONEY PARKER
I don't know. She looks pretty
healthy to me. Better than she did on t
