VLVL2 (15): Happy Ending: Dog POV vs. Bird POV vs. Bug POV

[Keith McMullen]

Vineland has a happy ending the same way the film Blue Velvet has a 
happy ending:

Jeffrey enters the kitchen and sees Sandy standing with Aunt Barbara by 
the
kitchen window.  Beyond, in the living room Mrs. Williams and Jeffrey's
mother turn toward the kitchen when they hear the screen door slam.

A large Red Robin has just flown down to the window still carrying a big
bug in its mouth.

					SANDY
			    (Referring to the bird)
			Look Jeffrey.

					JEFFREY
			  (As he joins Aunt Barbara and
			   Sandy to look at the robin)
			Yeah. I just saw him outside. Maybe
			the robins are here.

					AUNT BARBARA
			I don't see how they do it. I could
			never eat a bug.

					JEFFREY AND SANDY
				          (smiling)
			It's a strange world, isn't it?

CUT TO:

Yellow tulips sway in a warm afternoon breeze.

									DISSOLVE TO:

A bright red gorgeous fire engine is moving very slowly down the street.

We MOVE IN to see the happy face of a FIREMAN.

									DISSOLVE TO:


A very clean uniformed, smiling POLICEMAN with arms outstretched allows
clean happy SCHOOL CHILDREN to cross the street safely.

									DISSOLVE TO:

A songbird SINGS in a tree.

We are in a beautiful park.  Slowly we move down and a little hat with a
propeller comes into view.  The hat is on the head of a small child who 
is
dancing slowly toward Dorothy.  She is laughing.  When the boy gets 
within
arms reach they embrace.  We move close to Dorothy's smiling face.  
Tears
of happiness come into her eyes, but there is still a distant look as we
hear Bobby Vinton sing the last lines of his song.

"and I still can see Blue Velvet through
  my tears."

Blue Velvet dissolves in and takes over the image.

					THE END
