"MOONSTRUCK"by

Final Draft
FADE IN:
INT. ZITO'S BREAD STORY - DAY
Several dozen loaves of golden Italian bread are standing on
end in a shaft of morning sunlight. They are standing on end
in bins. In the window, ZITO'S can be read in reverse.We leave the loaves and DRIFT DOWN TO a Progresso Products
calendar, which hangs from the wall by a nail. The month is
November. Various phone numbers and delivery dates have been
penned in in a rough scrawl. Now WE GO TO a white formica
counter, scuffed and pocked from long use. On the counter,
in a rinsed out olive jar filled with water, are three fat
red roses. The TITLE APPEARS IN BLACK SCRIPT AGAINST THE
WHITE BACKGROUND.
MOONSTRUCK
Now WE FAINTLY HEAR THE VOICE of Zito himself, and a low
TAPPING SOUND. SOME CREDITS ROLL.
