So, here is a peek into the mind of an 18 year old me that I’ve never shared with anyone. I wrote this script around 1993, and I only remember that because Seven makes a brief appearance. Even at my young age, I could tell they were keeping his screen time to a minimum and I followed suit.
The story is fairly simple, and I think holds up, but the dialogue on the other hand isn’t great. The main story revolves around Marcy and Jefferson moving away from the Bundys. They are excited tonnage the neighborhood m, and Marcy is thrilled to get away from Al.
Peg realizes that if they move away, she will basically have no friends. She convinces Al to help her sabotage any house they are considering buying in an attempt to keep them where they are. Al wasn’t on board until Peg reminds Al that without Marcy and Jefferson coming over, that will give Al more time to spend with the family… which immediately changes his perspective.
I’ve attached some of the pages of the script that I wrote on a janky old word processor, mimicking what I saw other scripts looked like. The plan was to just “send it in” which I never did. I think I realized that is not how the industry, unions, writing, or just life works… lol?
Anyway, hope you enjoy it!
