by Pamela Gray SHOOTING DRAFT January 25, 1999

FADE IN: CREDITS OVER PHOTOS IN AN ALBUM The photos include a sepia-tone portrait of an Italian immigrant family... a b&w snapshot of ROBERTA, a nine-yearold girl playing violin in front of a refrigerator (1950)... ...Roberta and her dashing Italian father, hand-carving a wooden music stand... a b&w snapshot of Roberta in a communion dress... Roberta at 15, playing violin in front of the same refrigerator, eyes on the music stand... ...a color photo of two cute blonde little boys building a sandcastle on a beach... a color photo of a groom in a white naval uniform and his pretty bride, (Roberta at 25), her hand over his as they cut their wedding cake with a sword... ...a color photo of Roberta and her husband Greek dancing with another couple at an outdoor taverna. Roberta's husband and the other man's sexy wife are exchanging a slight smile...

HOLD ON THIS LAST PHOTO as we now see the ALBUM open on the floor of a bedroom, as if it's been tossed. We are: INT. GUASPARI HOUSEHOLD, ROME, N. Y. - BEDROOM - DAY (1988) WOMAN'S VOICE (O.S.) Wake up, Roberta! We hear the sound of KNOCKING as the CAMERA PANS a small, darkened guest room. A few streaks of daylight filter through Venetian blinds. WOMAN'S VOICE (O.S.) Come on, Bert -- get out of bed! The CAMERA finds a WOMAN lying face down on a twin bed, thick wavy hair sprawled across her shoulders.

WOMAN'S VOICE (O.S.) Please, Bert -- you need to get out of that bed. The KNOCKING continues, and she puts the pillow over the top of her head. END CREDITS INT. GUASPARI BEDROOM - DAY The WOMAN -- ROBERTA GUASPARI-DEMETRAS (38) -- retrieves the photo album from the floor, looks at a photo and removes it. She's a beautiful woman with large, expressive eyes, but right now she looks like hell. She stares at the photo -it's the two couples dancing. A quick glimpse of hurt on her face, then her jaw tightens and she rips the picture in half. There's muffled talking outside the door, and then two young boys' voices. BOY'S VOICE (O.S.) Can you come out now, Mommy? Please? She puts the half with her and her husband on the dresser, then tears the woman off the other half and rips her into pieces. BOY #2 (O.S.) Mommy, Nick broke my crayon! BOY #1 (O.S.) Well, Lexi hit me and he almost broke... he almost broke my ear! O.S. arguing "I DID NOT!" "YES YOU DID!" "LIAR!" etc. As if that one action siphoned all her energy, Roberta returns to bed, gets into fetal position, and stares at a point beyond the wall, ignoring the O.S. voices.

Bangun,

Kami mendengar suara KETUKAN dari CAMERA PANS yang kecil di ruang tamu yang gelap. Sebagian cahaya pagi masuk dan menembus

gorden ala Venetian yang berfungsi untuk meghalangi sinar matahari. WOMAN'S VOICE (O.S.) Ayo, Bert keluar dari tempat tidur! CAMERA tersebut menemukan seorang WANITA terlentang di atas tempat tidur berukuran twin bed dengan wajah mengahadap ke bawah tertutup oleh kasur, rambut yang tebal dan bergelombang jatuh menawan di sekitar pundaknya. WOMAN'S VOICE (O.S.) Please, Bert cepat bangun dari tempat tidurmu. KETUKAN terus berlanjut, dan dia menaruh bantal di atas kepalanya. END CREDITS INT. GUASPARI BEDROOM - DAY
