Written by Katie Ford

Directed by Larry Shaw

OPEN ON: [EXT. WISTERIA LANE --- MORNING]

(A school bus drives up the road. Friendly "Good Morning"

are exchanged between neighbours. A woman pushes a baby

carriage along, while a car pulls out of a driveway and drives

down the road. GABRIELLE jogs past a fence on the

sidewalk.

Pan to:(EXT.YOUNG HOUSE - FRONT YARD)

(MARY ALICE comes out of her front door and down the

porch steps, carrying a basket of flowers. She kneels in front

of her flowerbed, and smells a flower, smiling faintly.)

NARRATOR: My name is Mary Alice Young. When you

read this morning's paper, you may come across an article

about the unusual day I had last week. Normally, there's

never anything newsworthy about my life. That all changed

last Thursday. Of course everything seemed as normal at first.

I made my breakfast for my family.

(Cut to: MARY ALICE, carrying a plate of waffles to the

breakfast table, where PAUL and ZACH are sitting. She

passes the plate to PAUL.)

MARY ALICE: Here we are. Waffles.

NARRATOR: I performed my chores.

(Cut to: MARY ALICE, flipping a switch on the washing

machine, and then lifting a basket of clothing off the

machine.

NARRATOR: I completed my projects.

(Cut to: MARY ALICE, stirring a paintbrush in a can of

paint and painting a garden chair)

NARRATOR: I ran my errands (Cut to: MARY ALICE

picking up the dry-cleaning, then retrieving the mail from the

mailbox.)

NARRATOR: In truth, I spent the day as I spend every other

day - quietly polishing the routine of my life until it gleamed

with perfection.

(Cut to:MARY ALICE, straightening a photo frame on top of

the piano. She sighs with satisfaction, a contented smile on

her face.)

NARRATOR: That's why it was so astonishing when I

decided to go to my hallway closet to retrieve a revolver that

had never been used.

(Cut to:MARY ALICE takes a box off a shelf in the closet.

Looking worried and distraught, she shakily puts a revolver

to her temple. We see a finger pulling the trigger, and a loud

shot is heard. The camera stays on the YOUNG family

picture, as the blurred reflection of MARY ALICE is shown

in the frame of the picture falling to the ground.)

(Cut to: MRS. HUBER'S HOUSE - KITCHEN)

(MRS. HUBER's finger dips into a pool of red sauce

(resembling blood). She licks the sauce on her finger, as she

turns her head towards the YOUNG house, puzzled by the

sound she's heard.)

NARRATOR: My body was discovered by my neighbour,

Mrs. Martha Huber, who had been startled by a strange

popping sound. Her curiosity aroused, Mrs. Huber tried to

think of a reason for dropping in on me unannounced. After

1 some initial hesitation, she decided to return the blender she had borrowed from me 6 months before. (MRS. HUBER takes a blender labeled Property of MARY ALICE YOUNG off a shelf, and hurries next door to ring the doorbell. Hearing no answer, she hurries to the side of the house, where she peers inside the window and sees MARY ALICE's dead body lying on the ground, a pool of blood next to her. She screams. We see MRS. HUBER hurry back to her own house.) MRS HUBER: (on the phone) It's my neighbour. I think she's been shot, there's blood everywhere. Yes, you've got to send an ambulance. You've got to send one right now! (MRS. HUBER hangs up the phone. She stands in the kitchen, lips trembling, fighting tears.) NARRATOR: And for a moment, Mrs. Huber stood motionless in her kitchen, grief-stricken by this senseless tragedy. But, only for a moment. (MRS. HUBER turns her head sideways, noticing the blender sitting on the kitchen counter. She rips the label off the blender, and puts it back on her shelf.) NARRATOR: If there was one thing Mrs. Huber was known for, it was her ability to look on the bright side. (MRS. HUBER shuts the cupboard door.) OPENING CREDITs CUT TO: [EXT. WISTERIA LANE -- DAY] (Residents wearing black clothing and bearing plates and baskets of food are walking towards the YOUNG household) NARRATOR: I was laid to rest on a Monday. After the funeral, all the residents of Wisteria Lane came to pay their respects. And as people do in this situation, they brought food. (Pan to:LYNETTE, holding a plate of fried chicken with one hand as she walks.) NARRATOR: Lynette Scavo brought fried chicken. Lynette had a great family recipe for fried chicken. (Flashback to: LYNETTE talking animatedly in a conference room as she points at a projected screen with charts and figures, a room full of corporate businesspeople taking notes or watching as she shows her presentation, smiling with confidence.) NARRATOR: Of course, she didn't cook much as she was moving up the corporate ladder. She didn't have the time. (Fade to: The doctor's office, where he performs a sonogram on LYNETTE's exposed belly, as LYNETTE lies in a chair watching the screen, laughing with excitement. Her husband, TOM, sits next to her as he watches with amazement at the sonogram, holding LYNETTE's hand.) NARRATOR: But when her doctor announced Lynette was pregnant, her husband Tom had an idea. Why not quit your job? Kids do much better with stay at home mums; it was so much less stressful. (We see TOM gesturing, ta …… 此处隐藏：11135字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
