               FADE IN: ABSTRACT DREAM



CLOSE-UP of a gold framed miniature portrait of JOHN MERRICK'S

MOTHER (tune or melody over her picture, heartbeat), which

DISSOLVES TO CLOSE-UP of real Mother smiling A shadow comes

over her face. CLOSE-UP of elephant ears, trunks, faces

moving.


Dark, heavy feet stomping elephant trumpet, rearing up.


Powerful hit and the Mother falls. Darker. Trunk slides over

Mother's face and breasts and stomach, leaving a moist trail.


MOTHER�S POV of elephant's mouth, eyes, skin. Mother's face

twists and freezes in a blurred snap roll.


BLACK again. Knock, knock sound. Curtain opens to horrified

faces.


               CUT TO BLACK AND SILENCE

	EXT. MILLARD HIGH -- DAWN



	The school stretches out before us, slumbering in the overcast morning

air.



	Along the front sidewalk, a lone JANITOR trundles a garbage bin filled

with overstuffed hefty bags.



	A weathered FORD ESCORT pulls into the empty PARKING LOT and comes to

a stop near the athletic field.



	A TEENAGE GIRL'S VOICE -



					TRACY (VO)

			None of this would have happened if Mr.

McAllister hadn't meddled the way he

did.  He should have just accepted

things as they are instead of trying to

interfere with destiny.  You see, you

can't interfere with destiny.  That's

why it's destiny.  And if you try to

interfere, the same thing's going to

happen anyway, and you'll just suffer.
