FADE IN:

 

 

INT. BEDROOM

 

The time is 1959. HOLLY SARGIS, the 15-year-old heroine, sits on her bed, petting her dog. The CAMERA DOLLIES BACK as she talks on VOICE OVER.

 

HOLLY (V.O.)

My mother died of pneumonia when I was just a kid. My father had kept their wedding cake in the freezer for ten whole years. After the funeral he gave it to the yardman... He tried to act cheerful, but he could never be consoled by the little stranger he found in his house. Then, one day, hoping to begin a new life away from the scene of all his memories, he moved us from Texas to Ft. Dupree, South Dakota.

 

HOLD on FULL SHOT of bedroom.

 

DISSOLVE TO:

 

 

EXT. ALLEYS AND STREETS – SERIES OF ANGLES – DAWN

 

The streets and alleys of Ft. Dupree at dawn. On sound we hear the clucking of DOVES. A garbage truck appears. Details of the mechanisms at the back of the truck.

 

 

NEW ANGLE

 

KIT CARRUTHERS, the hero, a 25-year-old garbageman, kneels beside a dead dog. He inspects it briefly. then looks back at his friend and co-worker, CATO, a stocky man in his forties.

 

KIT

I'll give you a dollar to eat this collie.

 

Cato inspects the dog.

 

CATO

I'm not going to eat him for a dollar... I don't think he's a collie, either. Some kind of dog.

 

They drive off.

 

KIT

Watch your heads.

 

 

NEW ANGLE

 

The truck comes to a stop. Kit bangs on the driver's door.

 

KIT

Hey. Woody. Gimme a cigarette.

 

WOODY waves him off. Kit shrugs to Cato.

 

KIT

Woody wouldn't give me a cigarette.

(pause)

Ever notice he don't talk much?

 

Cato agrees with this. They make a terrible racket, with no regard for the sleep of the neighbors.

 

 

EXT. STREET

 

Holly, whispering some rhyme to herself, twirls a baton in the middle of an empty street.

 

HOLLY (V.O.)

Little did I realize that what began in the alleys and back ways of this quiet town would end in the Badlands of Montana.

 

 

EXT. ALLEY

 

Kit tries to sell a passing BUM a pair of shoes.

 

BUM

Nah. they wouldn't fit.

 

KIT

How do you know? You hadn't tried them on yet.

 

BUM

Nah.

 

KIT

Gimme a dollar for them... Cost twenty new.

 

The Bum walks off. Kit pitches the shoes to Cato.

 

KIT

Why don't you see if they fit you?

 

Cato picks them up and looks at them.

 

 

CLOSE ON TRASH CAN

 

Kit is culling through a trash can, looking for valuables. reading other people's mail, etc.

 

KIT (O.S.)

This lady don't ever pay her bills. She's gonna get in trouble if she doesn't watch out.

 

Cato, ignoring him, picks up a magazine that is lying in the grass. When the CAMERA returns to Kit, he has stripped off his apron.

 

KIT

I throwed enough trash for today, Cato.... I'll see you In the morning.

 

He slaps Cato on the back and walks off. Cato throws a mouldy loaf of bread at his back.

 

CATO

Catch!

 

KIT

What do you mean?

 

He throws the loaf back at Cato.

 

 

EXT. ALLEYS

 

Kit walks through the deserted alleys of the sleeping town... as the MAIN TITLES APPEAR. He balances a stolen mop on his finger; he stomps a can and looks around to see if anyone has spotted him at this. As the CREDITS end he sees Holly in front of her house twirling her baton. He crosses the street and introduces himself.

 

 

EXT. FRONT LAWN

 

KIT

Hi, I'm Kit. I'm not keeping you from anything important, am I?

 

HOLLY

No.

 

KIT

Well, I was just messing around over there, thought I'd come over and say hello to you.

(smiling)

I'll try anything once.

(pause)

What's your name? I said mine.

 

HOLLY

Holly.

 

KIT

Listen, Holly. you want to take a walk with me?

 

HOLLY

What for?

 

KIT

Well. I got some stuff to say. Guess I'm kind of lucky that way. Most people don't have anything on their minds, do they?

 

Holly eyes him suspiciously.

 

 

EXT. STREET

 

They walk down the middle of the street. Holly has accepted his offer.

 

KIT

Oh, incidentally, my last name is Carruthers. Sounds a little too much like "druthers", doesn't it?

 

HOLLY

It's okay.

 

KIT

Well, nobody asked me what I thought. They just hung it on me.

 

Holly breaks the silence that follows.

 

HOLLY

You still in school?

 

KIT

Nah, I got me a job.

 

HOLLY (O.S.)

Doing what?

 

KIT

Well, I don't mind getting up early, so I got a job throwing garbage... I'm not in love with the stuff, okay.

 

In the distance we hear Holly's FATHER calling her. She eases off.

 

HOLLY

That's my father. I got to run.

 

KIT

Hey. wait a minute. When am I going to see you again?

 

Holly isn't sure how to reply.

 

HOLLY

Well, I know what my daddy's going to say.

 

KIT (O.S.)

What?

 

HOLLY

Can I be honest?

 

KIT

Sure.

 

HOLLY

Well, that I shouldn't be seen with anybody that collects garbage.

 

KIT (O.S.)

He'll say that?

 

HOLLY

Yeah.

 

KIT (O.S.)

Now what's he know about garbage, huh?

 

HOLLY

Nothing.

 

KIT (O.S.)

There you go.

 

HOLLY

Well, I mean there's nothing he wants to know about it... I've got to run.

 

She waves goodbye and runs off. Kit waves back.

 

 

EXT. HOLLY'S BACK YARD

 

Holly walks into the back yard, where her father is working. Half-painted signs lean against the garage.

 

FATHER

Who was that?

 

HOLLY

Just some boy.

 

He throws some paint off his brush onto the ground.

 

HOLLY

Is that going to kill the grass?

 

He flicks his brush teasingly at her feet. She retreats to a chair, giggling.

 

HOLLY

You got some on my feet.

 

FATHER

What'd he want?

 

HOLLY

Just wanted to know if we needed any yardwork done... I said no, and for him not to bother us.

 

 

INT. EMPLOYMENT AGENCY

 

Kit is talking with a CLERK inside an employment agency.

 

CLERK (O.S.)

You ever held another job before?

 

KIT

I used to throw trash for the City.

 

CLERK

You lost that one?

 

KIT

Wouldn't be here if I hadn't.

 

CLERK

What kind of work do you think you would be qualified for?

 

KIT

I can't think of anything at the moment... I'd like you to write me out a slip, though, proving I came down here.

 

The Clerk leafs through his papers.

 

CLERK

Well, I think we could find you something... working cattle over at the pens.

 

Kit sighs.

 

KIT

Well. what the hell. Just hope there's a breeze.

 

The Clerk gives him a slip of paper.

 

 

EXT. FRONT PORCH OF HOLLY'S HOUSE

 

Holly sees Kit approaching the house.

 

HOLLY (V.O.)

He was handsomer than anybody I'd ever met. He looked just like James Dean.

 

She walks out the front door.

 

KIT

Hi.

 

HOLLY

Well, stop the world.

 

KIT

Quit my job.

 

HOLLY

Great.

 

KIT

Just seemed like the right move... Whatcha doing?

 

HOLLY

Spanish.

 

KIT (O.S.)

How do you say "Quit my Job" in Spanish?

 

HOLLY

Something mi trabajo.

 

Kit offers her a cigarette, which she declines.

 

KIT

Yeah, well, I'm going to work as a cowboy now... Or thinking about it. It's a routine, like anything. What do you think?

 

HOLLY

I don't know.

 

He pulls himself up onto the Bannister beside her.

 

KIT

Well, at least nobody could get on me about wearing these boots any more.

 

She watches him intently. This makes him uncomfortable.

 

KIT

You want to go for a ride?

 

HOLLY

Well, I got homework.

 

KIT (O.S.)

Bring it along.

 

His forwardness surprises her.
