          FADE IN:



          INT. CHURCH



We're at the funeral of Dorothy Kowalski. In attendance

are mostly old folks, their offspring and several bored

teenagers.

WALT KOWALSKI stands towards the front of the church. He

speaks to an older MAN in a bulky, out-of-date suit.
          OLDER MAN

          I'm real sorry about Dorothy,

Walt. She was a real peach.
          WALT

          Thanks for coming, Al.

Walt Kowalski looks young for his age. He has slate blue

eyes, physically fit and has had the same buzz cut

hairstyle since getting out of the military in 1953.

Walt is also a perfectionist. Nothing escapes his

hawklike eyes, eyes that pierce and judge.

Walt looks around at how the young people have dressed at

his wife's funeral. His eyes narrow at his

GRANDDAUGHTER's belly button ring.
          WALT
