ANGLE ON CONRAD IS TALKING TO TONY, WHO IS LOOKING OVER SOME PAPERWORK TONY Well, you are correct. It was supposed to say "Bloom." CONRAD So you'll fix it? MOLLY CROSSES OVER. MOLLY (BREATHY) Hi. CONRAD What are you doing? MOLLY I just came over to be supportive and see if you're okay. TONY I'm sorry for your loss. MOLLY It wasn't my loss, it was his, and were not together. I'm Molly. TONY Anthony Allen, funeral director. But you can call me Tony. CONRAD Excuse me. My Dad's tombstone. "Philip Boom." TONY Yes, of course. Now, it would be awfully expensive for us to have to put in a whole new stone, just for a little "L", don't you think? MOLLY It would be pretty wasteful. CONRAD Molly! TONY Why not just put quotes around the Boom and add "Bloom" at the end? CONRAD So it would read "Philip 'Boom' Bloom? TONY Exactly. Like a nickname. We could even add a second "Boom." CONRAD "Philip 'Boom Boom' Bloom?" TONY Sounds good, doesn't it? CONRAD No, it doesn't. Because it's not his name. MOLLY I kind of like it. (TO TONY) How does a man like you end up in a job like this? TONY Family business. MOLLY So all this is yours? TONY Some day. CONRAD Molly, I'm trying to do something here. MOLLY I know, Conrad, but life does go on. TONY I admire that attitude. Would you like to have dinner with me tonight? MOLLY Okay. TONY Great. I should be through here around seven. CONRAD Okay, wonderful, you closed the deal. You happy now? Can we get back to my Dad's tombstone? TONY You really want a whole new one, huh? CONRAD Well, I don't want it say "Boom," and I don't want it to say "Boom Boom Bloom," so yes, I guess we need a new one. TONY Okay, okay. We'll take care of it. We certainly don't want anyone to leave here unhappy -- I mean, you know, with the way they've been treated. CONRAD Thank you. TONY (TO MOLLY) May I say, that is a lovely dress. And believe me, I see a lot of people wearing their nicest dress. --written by Michael B. Kaplan
