Script

EXT. Central park - mid-day

PAN:Camera panning through park

A bright and sunny day with almost no clouds and little wind. The park was almost empty due to the football championship game being played several blocks away. The park is filled with lush green trees and an assortment of colored flowers. There is a slight breeze blowing peddles and leaves on the ground. There are virtually no shadows. Only person visible is an old lady sitting on a bench.

NARRATOR

Such a nice day in the park. I'm glad I have the park all to myself. Look at the beautiful trees, the lovely flowers and uhmmm some old lady. My, they give me the creeps.

This old lady is short and has a slight hunched back. She has her hair in a pony tail with big round glasses that cover most of her face. The wrinkles in her face sag. She wears a white blouse with a purple dress past her knees. Here purse is the size of a first grader's backpack and colored olive green.

PAN:right

EXT. CENTRAL PARK - MID-DAY - park entrance

A little boy and his mother are seen walking through the entrance of the park. The little boy is seen running around his mother with lots of excitement.

Jimmy is a little boy the age of seven. He is very energetic and naive. He is seen wearing a red shirt with black pants. He is also quiet thin. His head slightly bigger than his body.

Jimmy's mother is seen with a white shirt and blue jeans. She is easy going and laid back.

CLOSE UP: jimmy

The little boy holds his hands out to his mother, gesturing her to give him something.

narrator

Hmmm what's this?, Little Jimmy is holding his out as if...

Little Jimmy tugs on his mother's shirt and gestures once more.

NARRATOR

Ohhh, he wants some candy...

Suddenly Jimmy's excitement changes to depression.

NARRATOR

Yes, now look at him. He realizes he made a mistake in not finishing his dinner, but yet he does'nt care, he just want some candy now.

WIDE: Jimmy and mother

Realizing that his mother won't give in and give him some candy, he starts stomping and whaling as he storms off to the left, kicking rocks and smashing sticks along his path as he leaves the scene.

EXT. CENTRAL PARK - MID-DAY - Park bench

WIDE: Half the bench showing with jimmy on far right

A partially shown bench with a bunch of candy wrappers laying on the ground next to it.

NARRATOR

Wait a minute Jimmy, What's that over there?

Jimmy looks up and quickly runs over to the wrappers.

MEDIUM CLOSE UP: jimmy by the wrappers

He starts ripping at them in hopes of finding some delicious candy in them.

He finds nothing and is once again sad.

He admits defeat and takes a seat on the bench.

PAN: Left

NARRATOR

Come on Jimmy, why don't you ever pay attention?

Jimmy glances over to the other side of the bench and finally sees the old lady that has been sitting there the whole time eating candy.

Jimmy then repositions himself and holds his hands out to her with a huge smile, shaking and quivering from all of the excitement he is feeling.

NARRATOR

Maybe it'll work this time!...

The old lady just sits there without acknowledging Jimmy's presence.

NARRATOR

Wow, this old lady is like a brick. No reaction at all. Hmmmm, don't give up just yet Jimmy I have an idea.

NARRATOR

Try to trade with her.

Jimmy grabs a stick.

NARRATOR

Yes, old ladys need a nice walking stick.

Old lady is not fazed and just glares at him while continuing to eat her candy.

NARRATOR

Hmmm, I got it Jimmy, give her a bunch of rocks so that she may protect herself.

Old lady glares at him a little more intensely as he tries to give her a bunch of rocks he found nearby.

NARRATOR

My that is such a huge purse, I wonder what does she carry around in there.

INT. Narrator's imagination

A twelve inch sub-sandwich appears followed by a walker for old people and then an wig.

EXT. CENTRAL PARK - MID-DAY - PARK BENCH

Jimmy is still trying to give the old lady the rocks but she just continues to glare at him and eat her candy.

He sees that he is getting nowhere and gets angry all over again.

Jimmy is seen crying and throwing a tantra with his legs dangling off the bench swinging wildly back and forth.

NARRATOR

Awwwww... Poor poor Jimmy, don't give up just yet. Please stop, you look like you're three years old or something.

NARRATOR

Wait! Look Jimmy I think it may have worked

Seeing this, the old lady finally cracks and acknowleges him. She opens up her purse wide open and holds it towards Jimmy.

She motions for him to take some candy.

Jimmy instantly stops his act and his face lights up with joy.

NARRATOR

Go ahead Jimmy, go for it!

NARRATOR

Nooo wait Jimmy!!

Jimmy reaches his hands into the old lady's purse and he is quickly consumbed by it.

A loud burp is heard coming from the purse.

NARRATOR

Ohhh my it's too late, that was just horrible, how could this possibly happen?

NARRATOR

I am so so sorry Jimmy.

CLOSE UP: Old lady and purse

A sinister grin is seen on the old lady's face as she once again starts to eat her candy.

fades to candy wrappers on ground

EXT. CENTRAL PARK - MID-DAY - PARK BENCH - wrappers

CLOSE UP: candy wrappers

The closest candy wrapper reads "Jimmy," the second wrapper reads "Carl," the next "William," another "Joe," and lastly "Manson."

NARRATOR

See I knew there was something creepy about an old lady with a huge purse in the middle of the park...
